You are a troll, and not a very good one. I will not feed you.

That is simply AWESOME! I love Minetest Geography.

Kilarin: maybe, gotta ask Shinji :) While I think this would be fascinating on a new map, its going to be a bit of a pain when every place that people mapped out with torches, expecting them to last, suddenly go dark. Any chance you could convert the old existing torches into glowstone or something...

Is this going to appear on xanadu?

http://i50.tinypic.com/1zzjgb8.png Above is a screenshot of a minetest character wielding an air sword. You can confirm that it is a genuine air sword because it is invisible. If you could see anything in the characters hand, that would prove this picture to be a fake. And below is a screenshot of ...

I have discovered a truly marvelous answer to your questions, which this margin is to narrow to contain

how does it work against someone standing on a roof and digging down?

Must it be accepted even though it may be openly unfair? Something that people just don't seem to understand. The Xanadu server is owned by a private individual. No one is paying him money to host Xanadu. He is just doing it out of the goodness of his own heart. So, essentially, we have here a situ...

This must have happened after I logged off. But before that, I warned shoog about begging for stuff multiple times.

carry a protector node in your hotbar. when you get attacked, slam it on the ground and you are invincible :3 Won't help in two situations. 1 : when nearby prot nodes won't let you place your block (such as usually is the case in public forests/farms) 2 : when the person determined to kill you is a...

Why should spammer/troublemaker have ability to play though? Exactly. I have had times that I wished I could use a lesser punishment on someone just to get their attention. a limit that only lasts for a day, or removing shout only for one hour, for example. But those would be attempts to get (usual...

So has Xanadu NOT been down all day?

Thank you, I've been feeling down and you have really made me laugh today. laughter is good medicine!

AND DON'T FORGET THAT THE MODERATORS CHANGE THE SERVER RULES EVERY TIME.

firefox, did you ASK for someone to demonstrate and I just missed it? :)

imgrush went down, that is the second time I've lost all of my pictures on this thread. I transferred them all over to imgur which should be stable.

I hope the devs get this fixed quickly. I finally talked my Sister-in-law into trying minetest and... Xanadu and half the servers are all down. NOT a great introduction...

Need to make a new advanced mapper that can work on 3d slices of the world, like an MRI or cat scan, so we can change the z coord and see the space station or down into underground bases... :)

I share your frustration. But obviously there is a new problem, quite possibly the same one that Ten is discussing above with the strange login characters. And we can't expect Shinjin to stay up all hours of the night monitoring the server just because WE want to play. :)
So, I urge patience...

So, I have limited time to play for the rest of the week, and I've been trying to get on Xanadu for half an hour now. "Connection Timed Out"
The universe conspires against me!!!!

Those are very cool, thank you. I've really got to get back to work on this.

neri2 and I, and several others, have been attempting to explore and light up a simply enormous desert stone cave.
I tried to travel around the outline and take an aerial shot:

It doesn't do the size justice from this high up. The area is HUGE.

Grass spreads MUCH faster in the new Xanadu...

So, how can you map in 3D mystik? :)

I dont care what happen on server Believe it or not, I'm going to attempt to give you some friendly advice. Please read it through and THINK about what I'm saying before just assuming that I'm out to get you, ok? Here is the problem Poyongo, I wasn't online when the original problem occurred, but j...

I just want to point out that NERD is a compliment, not an insult. :)

Why such an old version?

but you are going to be using 4.14 with the new mapgen, right?

would it be good to move this discussion to the protector thread?
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9376&start=100

I must have misunderstood how the protector mod worked. I assumed there was a list/database of protectors which was searched for protectors near to a node. I guess I need to pull the code and dig through it sometime.

Well, that analysis sounds very promising!
