Re: Extreme Survival segfaults server
Thanks you for that. Also, is there a way to make Extreme Survival well a little less.....extreme? I'm up for a challenge, but there comes a time where it starts to feel a little pointless. I think that's what minetest really needs - a little bit of plot/storyline. Even if it's just, "survive t...

Please help: How do I create a new world via command line?
Hi, I have a VM out in cloud land and want to run a few MT subgmes games in server mode on there. The problem is, I've searched repeatedly and can't seem to figure out how to create a new world from the command line. Is there a way to create a new world w/o having to fire up a gui/x display? If not,...

Re: No Cows or Sheep spawning
For some reason I was under the impression that mobf was required for mobs - like it's the base framework? Which one of the two is more up to date, or barring that, which mob mod is most commonly used on servers? Which one gives me the most animals and creatures? Finally, which one will give me NPCs...

"Could you give me a like to which mod you're using?" Sorry - I'm not sure exactly what your asking. The mods listed above are the only ones enabled. I tried disabling mobs and I did have a sheep show up so that's good, but now I have no bumblebeed or rock monsters. Can I just ask - which...

No Cows or Sheep spawning
Hi all, For some reason on my server there are no cows or sheep showing up anywhere. I'm guessing it may be a mod conflict, but I'm running the latest dev build so I thought I'd report it as a problem/bug. Here's my version info: minetest server --version Minetest 0.4.13-dev-8aaae7d Using Irrlicht 1...

Re: Help with Blender and Minetest
Thank you SO much for your help and info on this. I would consider this a very worthwhile project to take up. Could you point me toward some resources that would help me "unravel" how MT does the "block by block" array thing with houses etc? If I can get to where I can write a lu...

Re: Minetest Crashes on Asus ME301T Tablet
I don't think there is. When I say it "pops" back to the main screen, I mean the home screen of the tablet. MT just completely crashes with no warning or output - just....gone!
I'll try it again when I have a chance and see if I can find something to post.

Re: Help with Blender and Minetest
Ok thank you so much - that's pretty much what I was after. Basically I would like to be able to design a fairly elaborate house or building in Blender and have that turn into "real" blocks in MT. Do you think it would be better to build something like that as a separate tool? I'm thinking...

Re: Who is this dude?
you don't use debug.txt To see left HP of a mob/player press F5 and then point at it. It should say a certain amount of data that can clarify your doubts. (like with what weapon you can kill it, also HP left.) Also, to actually kill something, you don't have to keep the mouse button pressed down, c...

Re: Who is this dude?
How many hits does it usually take to kill him and with what kind of weapon? I've tried just about every kind of sword you can make plus the bow and arrow and have done zero damage as far as I can tell - debug.txt doesn't show a single hp of damage.

Re: Minetest and Blender

Thanks so much for that. I actually ended up both Compiling and upgrading.
