FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

The 'can't move' bug should now be fixed and the displayed player levels should now be updating correctly. Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience. Please note that I have been making a lot of changes recently to improve the api and close some age-old issues. If you are concerned about stabil...

Updated to fe9664589a834dfa9a79d6b20d8f9a6facc52bbe (Fix potential missing texture bug) and players could not move anymore.
Checked out 86fd6b0d7d5120c51c6fbb3b36ee0620f4956432 (Fix crash caused by 27a3823) and it worked again.
Server is 0.4.15-dev-525d2a0.

We've encountered a crash when a player without the atcatl priv open and then closes the advtrains_luaautiomation:dtrack_st window. According to the users, the crash happens on them closing the window with ESC. 2017-03-26 00:24:02: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime e...

Thanks stu, that fixed the crash. Works again flawlessly.

Server crash on player taking daming (in this case falldmg), I'm at git commit 27a3823eedf619916bfd5cc813fb6190b40a8529 Commit: stujones11 <stujones111@gmail.com> CommitDate: Wed Mar 22 19:00:48 2017 +0000 ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'builtin_ite...

I spoke too soon:
Now the release clients get their chat echoed two times.
Is this an EITHER case, where you could either support 0.4.15-release OR 0.4.15-dev, but not both?

Perfect, thank you very much!

Not quite, I'm afraid: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod '' in callback on_chat_message(): /srv/minetest/world3/worldmods/chatplus/api.lua:223: attempt to call field 'chat_send_place' (a nil value) stack traceback: /srv/minetest/world3/worldmods/chatplus/api.lua:22...

Recent minetest-dev clients can't see their own messages.
Other players can see the messages, but not the player with the dev client.

Example:
Client: 0.4.15-1de08e19
Server: 0.4.15-7b74f04a

Klugscheiss:
It's bad practice to have the advtrains.zip in the git repo.
GitHub makes it easy for you, users can always download the current repo (master branch) using https://github.com/orwell96/advtrains/a ... master.zip

Hey, a user just used the PC Naming Tool and the server crashed: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod '' in callback item_OnPlace(): /srv/minetest/world/worldmods/protector/init.lua:282: bad argument #1 to 'get_player_by_name' (string expected, got nil) E...

With a bad enough connection you can dig the trap door and operate the switch behind it before the server can replace the trap door.

l added support for v7 trees. fireglow, does mgv7 also offer the other trees, the mgv6 ones? I believe the default:sapling only grows into the branched version of the tree. However, there are servers (like mine ;) that have other treemods installed (for example farming_plus) the trees of which are ...

Could somebody please add support for the mg v7 default tree, it's now growing with branches, like so: https://fireglow.de/755/share/screenshot_20170228_150138.png After cutting the main trunk with, the branches remain: https://fireglow.de/755/share/screenshot_20170228_145833.png Edit: The main trun...

Just ignore him, it's borderline trolling.

I posted a pull request that limits light_source to 14 on a few lamps.
14 is the maximum, higher values trigger debug messages.
https://github.com/mbblp/minetest_mod_lamps/pull/1

Progress: I've been inserting a bunch of debug messages in biome_lib and look what we've got: https://fireglow.de/755/share/screenshot_20170220_123606.png As to why biome_lib it doing that, I have no idea. That even happens if the entire abm in bushes_classic is commented out. I'll open a github iss...

orwell: Thanks for the fixes, everything works as expected now :-)

Encountered a show-stopping bug: A player experimented with the atc stuff, now the server crashes on startup: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: environment_Step: Runtime error from mod 'advtrains' in callback environment_Step(): ...st/world/worldmods/advtrains/advtrains/advtrains/atc.lua:43: attem...

Updated plantlife_modpack and biome_lib today and got this issue:
Wherever there are bushes on the ground, they start to spawn up in the air:

We've discovered an issue with the mod: The overwrites in advtrains/advtrains_luaautomation/p_mesecon_iface.lua cause a) two switches to appear in creative inventory (not a biggie), b) all switches cannot hold their state any more. After about 2-10 seconds, they switch back to their old state. I fir...

MBB: That looks awesome! We need that in the mod! :)

Wow thank you, that's great.

Sorry for the late reply lol, I just was talking with DS about your mod and the protection issue came up so I decided to look at the thread again.

Again, thank you for adding it! :)

On my servers there is an issue with the switches: They do not keep their state. Happens with both mesecon_switch_on and a mesecon_switch_off. After toggling their state, they will switch back after about 2-10 seconds. mesecons is at 03ab151c873fd6a4574a8490b17a48b4e9e65d76 . minetest_game is at 89c...

Updated minetest to gf17c9c45, works now.
Thanks!

Hi,
we've got a problem with playeranim, the arms are always stuck in the air.
3d_armor: version-0.4.4-49-g98786fd
playeranim: at commit 5814be7a984cde0c48a5c1ab447991f7950e0770

Anybody else experiencing this issue?

What happened to this server?

is it possible to add more names in player detector ? Done on our servers, you can clone the code :) https://github.com/MinetestForFun/server-minetestforfun/commit/9bcbb1c4e5b5bb7ccfee254d2563ebf317fdad57 That's awesome! I have a challenge for you: Add negations, i.e. "! player " will mat...
