USING MORE MODS

[Stef]

if I want to use more mods at once, i get an error.
This is if I use BLOX 0.3 + HOMEDECOR (from VanessaE)

I think it's because some mods have the same crafting or what's the problem?

[VanessaE]

Odd, I have bobblocks installed in my system, in fact I use it alongside my homedecor mod:

[Jordach]

Yep. I see them - and Firefox in the background, don't think I never see things like this.

[Stef]

no i dont mean Boblox but just blox whit checked stone in every color and somthing like that stuff not BOBLOX

[InfinityProject]

Moreblocks?

[Stef]

No i mean this mod:http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1960

[VanessaE]

I also have the Blox mod installed (older version prior to today's update) for testing, though I don't use it. Also have quite a few other mods and they all seem to behave together.

[Stef]

the newest version won't work togheter

[VanessaE]

None of his crafting recipes appear to conflict with mine, and I have moreblocks, flowers, and a whole host of others installed as well.

I've just installed blox 0.3 and fired up my usual testing world which has a bunch of stuff from homedecor present, placed a selection of 'Blox" blocks into the world, and nothing unusual happened. They seem to work fine together.

What is the error, and under what conditions, process, or procedure do you see it?

What version (build date) of minetest?

I use the 12/06/12 and he says :
Error[main]: a serialization error occured:
Error[main]:deSerializeString: size not read
Error[main]:the server is probably running a different version of Minetest.
On a Windows VISTA

There is no 0.4-20120612 version, the latest is 0.4-20120606. :P

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

Error[main]:the server is probably running a different version of Minetest.

Self-explanatory; the server has to be updated, or use an older client version.

Sorry for the bad video

I get the same problem. Seems to be a limit of how many types of items can be added by modules:

VanessaE also had the same issue:
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/issues/144

It has nothing to do with which mods you use, just how many items they define.

Error[main]: a serialization error occured:
Error[main]:deSerializeString: size not read
Error[main]:the server is probably running a different version of Minetest.

I was able to reproduce this error by creating a mod which registered 7000 aliases.

The limit may be here...
