FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Well, to finish this completely, my assigned IP address has changed :P I think, until i can devote enough time and energy to fix and improve server, there is no point to keep it in that half-dead state it was last weeks. There are many other good servers, especially Mike's, who tried to make use of ...

Lag: What "bug" are you searching for? It's not a bug that makes you fly, it's a modified client that disables the checks for privs, afaik I am starting to understand, how item copy bag may be working. Recently there was too much user profile files, like 36000, and my bash script has star...

I got one step further in this matter and split this "magic blob" in little smaller parts. But it is still far from manipulating individual nodes and especially their metadata.

-"After all, i can just restore all destroyed buildings to different place." : why different place? For long time already i though of moving spawn, or buildings from spawn to different place, to prevent server looks like "museum", where new players can look, but cannot touch any...

A player I know states that he dies while using stairs underground. Too many false detections.

Thanks, found and fixed that one. Will post later on github.

I need CleanerPro alive, at least for some time - to observe if he still can use his cheats and to what degree. Also i want to see, how much he lied to me about his good intentions of making spawn better - he must be smart enough if he have modified his client like this, and looks like he have lot o...

Looks like things are going really bad on the server... Especially duplicating cheat and this new "place tnt whenever you want" cheat(i confirmed in logs, CleanerPro really just placed tnt at spawn, no errors of some sort, he just placed tnt:tnt and nothing has stopped him). And for both t...

So far results are fine. Not like sheriff system is ideal, but i think it is better than just carelessly choosing group of moderators. Also, now i have good excuse for all those people, who say "Hey, your server is a mess/griefed/too much cheaters, you absolutely need to make me moderator/boss/...

Nice!
rnd, thanks,
i included your changes into my city_block with some improvements.
Added it to server and also pushed to my github.

When i went exploring it after few weeks at that time, there already was nothing, just some guy's cobble hut.

I found some early server screenshots. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=5119 Just random screenshot with regular server view https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=5120 Negotiation with oerkki https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=5121 Now, there is spawn place!

Wow... I just took a look at the Magnolia city, must say it looks real nice! How are people able to get desert stone in the world of all stone? Wierd... The only desert stuff i remember, was long ago, before there was protection blocks, i built little artificial desert (right bottom corner of pictu...

Where did they get the guns?

figuratively speaking...

1.Well, rnd voting idea is good, but that would be completely different mod, and i am not giving up on sheriff idea yet. Yeah, in log file it looks like bunch of people in town got guns and are shooting randomly around... but i am hoping, eventually situation will be better. 2.Log contains many mess...

Today i tested and fly prevention worked fine against me. I hope, measures against noclip mining is working too. Against broken buildings i am afraid i can't do much. Cheaters (fly, fast, noclip) should be autokicked/banned with anticheat set to on, I hope you understand that. Spawn should be cleare...

This mod needs some precautions: + much bigger vote count (like 20) + only long-term (>1 year activity) player accounts with password set can vote + guests can't vote + there must be the way to unsheriff the bastard + limited work period of sheriff (for example 6 months or less) then he leaves and ...

Cool idea. I suggest you look into the vote mod, if you don't want to have to make players go to a position (which is a bad idea for UX) I know about vote mod and i was thinking about using it, but in the end i decided that the more players are involved in the process, the better. They need craft v...

... Giving someone the ability to revoke a griefing player's interact and/or shout privs would be a great thing. That would stop a lot of griefing and chat spamming. I understand BlueFireUn wants to do the job. Sounds like a good idea to me. I added mod, to vote player, who then can mute, jail or k...

This mod allows players on server to choose "sheriffs", who can oppose greafers. Sheriffs can use commands /mute, /unmute, /jail and /kicks (depending on their vote count). License: LGPL 2.1 or later. Dependencies: default Download: https://github.com/AndrejIT/sheriff_voting/archive/master...

... As for cheats, what I have done is allowed NoClip, Fast, and Fly on client side. This is not controllable. however, some servers do some nice neat tricks. "Servival server No. 521" does the best to prevent flying and noclip, and its VERY annoying trying to cheat on there. ... I was su...

Hello again! After quite some time analyzing the grief, it looks to me like a large tnt blast caused the damage. The gold digger farm has an area of 43x43 and looks intentional in other spots too. I hope you can catch the griefer and ban them. If you speak about area around (40,1,290), then that di...

Hi! Well... I have left minetest without attention for few months already... First, i was tired because of those bugs, which are breaking auth.txt, with account information. Second, i had two week vacation. Third, i was busy at work. Fourth, i played another games. Fifth, looks like my laziness upgr...

Well, it is pretty down the list, but it is working :)

there was some mistakes in kepup script, fixed now.

There was problem with auth.txt again, and this time it was damaged, so automatic startup script was not working. Now i improved backup script, and hopefully next time will have backup for auth.txt.

So auth.txt disaster happened third time... And i have not noticed it in time, so it rewrote daily backup file. So i put almost month old auth file there. Also, why on earth there is teleport in jail? My suggestion: remove teleport and reinforce jail walls with nonbrickable blocks (like fake tnt or...

Should be 24 real hours.
Well, even at spawn it is 1-2 hours more because of server downtime etc.
By the way, i placed some tnt for cleaning purposes at spawn yesterday and they should go off about now..

Running as service may be best option i think. Services have some "Recovery" options, so no need to write your own script.

Admin's TNT timer is 24 hours minimum, or much more if area is not visited too often.
Have not found admin's TNT above rails you mentioned...
