FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I know, i've been keeping up. I was simply demonstrating that MT devs are no more infallible than FM devs.

put some of your own stats into it (number of errors, normal fps, cpu usage, data usage, graphics rendering, etc.). I hope that's addressed to the other guy, since i'm not the one making unfounded claims :p But in case it isn't, the issue im referring to is here with the relevant discussion here .

Real researchers usually publish their work along with their conclusions :P I say this because just 24 hours ago, something was pulled to MT that made it totally unplayable. So obviously MT is not immune to pulling "unfit" stuff :-)

Why not just ban the ipaddress??? In my opinion that seems like a logical answer, because no matter how many times they make a new account if they are still using the same PC they cant get in. that can be as easy to change as release/renew or restarting the modem. And judging from my logs either us...

You do realize that was a joke? :P

I hate it when people put down a block of cobblestone and say it is their house. You gotta wonder what goes on those 100-mod servers :p Most players seem content using wood, cobble and dirt :p Yes: Better community (it is FOSS) Is a community better by pure virtue of being FOSS? At least half the p...

You yourself are a skilled builder, Mauvebic.

Thanks :-) Though I wish there were more of us. It's sad to say every time I run a server I get the impression most people don't know they're in a building game.

minecraft you have to pay $26 USD. also minetest has a better comunity not as many griefers. MC has more griefers because it also has more players :p The positive aspect to having to pay for an account means the same people can't grief the same servers with multiple usernames, unless they're willin...

You can use particle spawners for smoke

Is that a fence post holding up part of the chimney?

Usually, the tool records automaticly while playing. And taking a look at what else has been built *is* important - the new building has to fit in. Of course mapping out huge areas for checking mapgen might be a diffrent matter, if that is what happend. Yeah but you have to understand, if I wanted ...

Looks pretty good to me, tundra transitions to forest, and forest transitions to desert :-) I like the larger biomes too.

Any progress on testing 0.4.9dev? Whereas the dirt ridges and cavegen griefing are not too ugly in normal biomes they look bad on the ice sheets, so i'm keen to find out if you can avoid those. I'm going to test the trimmed ice sheets once more then push my changes within the next 12 hours. Caves c...

You're beeing unjust here. The offer of a potential backup was made to you, the server owner in need (=unexpected hardware failure, no fault of yours), and to no one else. We may assume that the data was gathered while twoelk was walking around on your server, taking a look at all those nice buildi...

X pos always -inf- and the problem seems to be only on stone. I've had this problem for a long time and I still can't narrow down the circumstances when it happens lol I though it was digging for long periods but then it happened when I was just walking around. As far as I can tell, it only happens...

They were a PITA to design and texture, especially when the wife asked for a revision to make them full height (so they could be suspended from above) lol

I never said anything about screenshots, i just don't like people copying my maps wholesale. I value the uniqueness of my server which is why I dont release my custom mods or textures. As for 2d maps, I can either generate those myself, or you can run paramat's mod with the same seed on your server ...

I played around with sfans's copytolocalmap client a little, so I might have some of the WaterWorld map preserved if you are interested. Actually I also have parts of Doge1 as I needed a local copy to let the mapper run over it so that I could study Paramats Islands Mod better. Your custom nodes di...

You trash the old worlds? I had a drive die on me in the last year with a lot of valuable stuff, maps wasn't high on that list and I had to make due with less :/ mauvebic, preview of archipelago 0.2.1 which trims the ice with 'np_island' noise as well as biome noise, here the new trimming is straig...

finished bridge between islands

The code ought to do that automaticly. It seems not enough of the area got loaded for a 128x128 map in my singleplayer world. Still, even 128x128 does not give a very good overview. Some towns are much larger than that. I'm afraid we need something better. Like I told you, you can't use get node fo...

One of my secret underground bases, the Wolf's Lair http://s2.postimg.org/8af43tdqh/screenshot_3706378231.png Spawn Island , we're going to add villas http://s15.postimg.org/cxo94gel7/screenshot_3709140499.png Spawn Island , updated http://s11.postimg.org/qgkf2f1rn/screenshot_3766065347.png

Requesting access (if it's okay to not build much but explore instead). Check out archipelago 0.2.0. ****** The 2 commits that fixed cavegen griefing and dirt ridges were simple, perhaps you could compile your own 0.4.8 stable plus those 2 commits, snce you probably don't want to use 0.4.9dev ... i...

That would be a problem too, elevation of the water on that map was y=100, the archipelago mapgen uses the default elevation.

You'll certainly find the old nodes :-) though copying the old city might be a bit trickier: voxmanips doesn't do facedir and there's an awful lot of it in that city :/

Request access here, your name will be added to the access list and a temporary password set, all other connections will be denied . mapgen : archipelago protection : each island will be an area, can be shared.

No hurry actually, apart from archipelago im switching games for the new map and it needs at least a week's worth of updating before it's ready :)

I updated to archipelago yesterday, does that one have snow?
