Re: Cash's World Server
Players files contain information about the player's location, direction looking in, and what is in inventory. Players passwords and properties will not be affected.

Re: Cash's World Server
I am searching for player files that have 'expensive' stuff in inventory like steel, gold, diamonds, etc. Those player files will be saved. Everyone else will have their player files deleted and will reappear at spawn the next time they log in.
That is a lot of files to scan. haha xD

I was getting no response from the server. So I tried a Ctrl-C to shut it down. Though I did not intend to shut it down. Oops.

Just enough to bring the number of files do...

Re: Cash's World Server
Strange. Is that what you see when you look at an autocrafter or when you open one? Is there a prot block nearby? The code for the autocrafter does not have an image of a prot block as part of the autocrafter's image. Maybe try another MT client? You can try the official MT client at http://www.mine...

Re: any quest mods?
After playing World of Warcraft for a month or so, I am going to have to look into this mod and see how I can bring quests into Cash's World. Maybe I can give my players a reason to learn how to make things rather than asking/demanding them from the admin so often.

Re: Server to play with my friends free ?
40$ for a minetestserver is in any way way too much. horrible that people think this is a realistic price. This would match a dedicated rootserver with around 24gig ram somewhere else. Beside, this "coming soon" is there since months yet. $40/month is too much? Hmm, Let's see. The hardwar...

Re: Cash's World Server
The MT server was running slow in a Linux VM under a Windows 10 host. The 320GB SATA2 7,200 rpm HDD used to hold the VM was constantly writing to disk at ~40MBps and seemed to be a bottleneck. I wanted to see if Redis would speed things up. It seems to have done so. The HDD is idle for about 3 minut...

Define 'soon'
A long string of problems being solved one by one :/
I finally got the VM to boot! Took an hour or more to accomplish that.

Re: Cash's World Server
I've done some reading after a Google search. From what I can see, this error has persisted for at least 3-4 years across various versions of MineTest. The usual 'solution' is to claim that the map is corrupt and for the admin to wipe the current map, reinstall from backup, or a bad hard drive. The ...
