FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I have this but what would I put in there, unknown:air

Is there a way to remove them from the world. I had a fire started in the woods and it spread, quickly and I thought oh cool will treat it like a forest fire and put it out. Hmmm never could get in front of it so i disabled fire and now have unknown nodes that if I can clear i can leave the semi for...

This sounds like insanity, basically you're attempting to run 100 server frames per second.

Also, your CPU only has 4 threads, so why use 12 emerge threads?

Ok so tweak those settings he has for a Athlon 64 X2 with 4GB of ram......

i asked about this a month or so ago you have 2 options set strict_protocol_version_checking = true in minetest.conf but this will potentially limit you clients to whatever version of server your running... ex if dev server only dev clients if you compile yourself edit clientserver.h #define LATEST...

use in place of simplemobs. I quickly edited the drops since i had some depend items but it started fine on my test world, may get unknown items as drops if i missed something.
depends:
default
fire
throwing

Thank you sir.

creatures is too laggy IMO, not matter how much i tweaked it spawn was out of control. last server i was on with it i went from being surrounded by 18 zombies at night to 30 sheep at day! then you have to wait for the zombies to blink to death and fall down at sunrise i do like the zombie though, a...

I just discovered this issue. If your server is getting locked up at some point just as someone is logging in, it is due to them using the android version. Not sure what it is doing but the entire server just stops. This is what I get in debug.txt at the end: 21:23:41: INFO[ServerThread]: Server: Fi...

just upgraded CPU and ram today on mine i5-3570 3.4ghz, 8gb ... rarely does CPU go above 20% unless i'm flying&fast. ram is also under a 1gb, usual is like 5 concurrent players. I have occasional lockups, my players use mining lasers, drills, sledgehammers, technic, pipework, mesecon, and digil...

I have an observation/question and it actually is a real simple one. When using pressure plates with doors..... If you step on the pate it opens the door and then closes it. If you manually open the door and pass over the plate it nver activates and closes the door once you have passed over the plat...

I am not sure what it is....... I have a Minecraft server also that has way more mods and it seems to run fine in a 2048mb environment and has 0 lag. Minetest on the other hand I have tweeked and cut the mods down to no npc's or mobs and still has this issue. Even killed rollback to see what perform...

I have run one on a dual xeon quad core G5 DL360, I am now trying to set one up with a Athlon 64 X2. I keep have performance issues which I had on the G5. So I am wondering what everyone else is running on.

Got it but got a huge problem..........I can no longer admin or access anything that my toon had locked. Also the server appears to be not rendering.

It is really slow.........going through the mods one by one.....

Ok compiled and no errors and system installed on Linux. I now am getting this with an existing .minetest folder ad world: dtruesdale@linux-7aan:~/.minetest$ minetestserver --worldname FireFly --worldname takes precedence over previously selected world. 07:18:03: ERROR[main]: Subgame [] could not be...

Figured out the 0.4.9 thing I am recompiling the source........Hopefully this works.

The thing is this is 0.4.10 but it reports back oddly. I compiled it. let me remove the rpm of 0.4.9

I know I have mods....... I am saying it would be nice to have this in the API

I get this......... 04:21:53: ERROR[main]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: /home/dtruesdale/.minetest/mods/default/player.lua:146: attempt to call method 'set_local_animation' (a nil value) 04:21:53: ERROR[main]: stack traceback: 04:21:53: ERROR[main]: /home/dtruesdale/.minetest/mods/default...

sorry meant furnaces......... and I know steel doors I wanted wooden............I know picky....

ok edited in nano fixed the init.lau error

Would love to see lockable chests and doors without adding a mod......... Mods work till a point where they are not updated or what they depend on is not updated. It sucks.......

Is this the flood you have said is fixed ? 22:32:34: ACTION[ServerThread]: Spawned creatures:zombie at (-319,-19,302) 22:33:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: Spawned creatures:ghost at (-396,17,210) 22:33:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: Spawned creatures:ghost at (-395,16,211) 22:33:42: ACTION[ServerThread]: Spaw...

Did that right off the bat from previous experience.

I am receiving this error on server startup: 18:02:49: ERROR[main]: Error loading mod "bees-master": modname does not follow naming conventions: Only chararacters [a-z0-9_] are allowed. 18:02:49: ERROR[main]: Server: Failed to load and run /home/dtruesdale/.minetest/mods/bees-master/init.l...

Soko I built an apartment and the entire exterior wall to the right was completely missing. Other than that I have no complaints. Very good idea.

So I wasn't crazy the prebuilt rpm's were bad.

Who does?

Is either missing something or something not quite right with the package. I installed it got that blocky interface. Removed it downloaded the source, installed all the required devel dependencies to compile it and it works with no issues. Also to let you know all the dependencies where already in p...

Hmmm your doing better than me, what video card you have? I have the Nvidia gtx 650 and I get the box with colored blocks in it at the menu...... nothing else.

PilzAdam wrote:I have seen this a few times now; IIRC it was always fixed by recompiling.

It seems to be odd on the AMD system if you load the proprietary drivers it does this, install the open source drivers and it works. On the Nvidia system changing OS caused it. It is really odd.
