I get this error on other peoples' servers sometimes, but I just assumed they're running a development version that was incompatible with my client. But now, I get this error every time I try to connect to my own server. Both the server and client are at version 0.4.5 stable. What does this mean, an...

minetest_game has other stuff like dyes, wool, creative and so on Why? If it's an "official" mod, why not put it in the common area and just not include it in the default list of common mods to use. This allows any custom game to use them easily. I agree. Everything official should be in common, wh...

I actually had the server up when I went to bed, but it went down again while I slept. The experiment yesterday wasn't able to yield us any usable data, so we're in the same bind as before: Any changes to the world may or may not be saved. So don't pour your hart into some creation that may be lost,...

4.0.5 isn't out yet. It's 0.4.5.

Could you add a download of your game to the first post. I want to edit some things to be more like minecraft but I don't know the mods. Traxie21 is using Minitest. http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2589 EDIT: I just looked at the first post again, and a link to the came is ALREADY provided.

The server is up for debugging. Please be aware that ANY CHANGES MY BE LOST. But also be aware that any changes MIGHT be saved, so don't go wrecking things assuming it will be reset.

What you all don't get is, I want a PROGRAM not a web interface, NOT A LINUX based system, I have Windows 7 not Ubuntu. MCForge is not a web interface and is not a Linux program, I want a MCForge clone, otherwise I just wont use it OR wont run a server at all. Well, there's the problem. Windows is ...

What processor do you have? On PowerPC, I have a similar issue.

I think the version of flolands that was merged uses regular dirt and stone.

I don't think the issue is your computer. I'm not getting any connection at all.

Are you stuck at the "Connecting ..." message, or are you able to move on to the loading page with the percentage?

Oh let me guess you would suggest mac? Linux is safer than both of them especially redhat!! Getting Minetest to work on a Mac is painful. A Mac would be way better than Windows if you can get it to run, but yeah, I'd go with Linux. I'd love to hear your opinion on why Red Hat is safer than other di...

Oh, okay. Thanks then! My machine can't take it, but I'd love to see someone max out at 100 .... I know someone that has a computer that can take it! It is a desktop has six gigs ram water cooling system and one of the newest processors ever and is running win 7! Ugh, Windows isn't safe to use on t...

Oh, okay. Thanks then!

@0gb.us ouch. :C

Ouch? Did I say something offensive? I didn't mean to, I was just explaining the system.

There's a couple things I strongly disagree with in the video. First, minetest isn't GOING TO be better than Minecraft. It already is. Minecraft is full of annoying things that make the game bothersome to play. Second, we can't blame the developers for lack of advertising. In a typical corporation, ...

You had over 20 players but the numbers only show how many is on ATM if I know what you mean. It has a max players stat. For example, if we look at sunrisetest.no-ip.org:30000's entry at the time of writing this, it says "8/100, 12". 8 is the number of current players, but 12 is the maximum that ha...

Ty :D ALSO: First day, and we're 4 players away from setting the record for most players on a server at one time. 11 (Sunrisetest) vs. 14 (Minetest.ru) http://servers.minetest.net Real nice job guys! Hope you're having fun! I was up to 18 at one point. The stats seem to reset nightly.

That looks good! Can you tweak it a bit more so that it differs a bit more from the default wood? Also leaves and saplings are needed. I tweaked the Junglewood texture a bit and made a sapling. I am using Casimir's leaves. http://ubuntuone.com/3PGbrg47KKDihIvWS3Vi5q http://ubuntuone.com/2mOlzv7OQ0r...

as i said, oldcoder did great job on optimizing but somehow didn't get a way to the mainstream. It's "upstream", not "mainstream". "mainstream" would mean optimizing Minetest would suddenly make you look cooler from the general opinion's view. Well, optimizing Minetest does make Old Coder seem pret...

Microsoft is the bane of computers everywhere. Windows is never the answer. Plus, I don't think there is a PowerPC version of Windows. Yeah, I know, PowerPC is outdated, but that's what I've got. I have a lot of homework, all due today. I've been spending my time trying to make the server work all w...

We'll keep in touch over IRC about getting the server operational. Also, could you possibly give me limited SSH access? Like an account with no sudo? Sounds doable, but I don't know how right now, and I have a paper due at midnight your time. I'll maybe try to set that up later. EDIT: Oh, wait, I f...

i'm hoping the server up is tommorow, as i'm not going to be on later as i'm not feeling well The chances of the server being up tomorrow are exceedingly slim. I'm not even sure getting the server back up at all is an option. Note that when I say "the server", I mean the hardware/software combinati...

The map isn't the issue. The server itself is. Even a new map won't fix this. Until I find a way to get Debian and the NIC to play nicely together, the server is down. If I get it back up, we'll still have our current map.

No, its saved in minetest.conf

It will only save to the conf file if you opened the server with the GUI. So you're both right.

The last two times the server has gone down, the data has gotten corrupted. I'm not sure it's a good idea to even start it up again ....

Or the built-in method.

The world seems to have become corrupted again. I have no idea why. Again, this means we'll have to revert to a backup copy.

JUST when I found time to make progress in the tunnel, too ...

If someone is building an incompatible model, might I recommend making it possible to make the limbs not be required to mirror themselves? I'd love to be able to make the left arm and leg different from the right ones.
