Xanadu Server

[4aiman]

Actually, that's kinda like what I want to achieve ;-p
I've no time to play fair but do not want to spoil everyone's experience )

[ack]

So no reply means no support for non prefered members ?
Maybe you should mention that on a notice "Warning, we reserve the right to steel and remove your stuff from your private chests without explaining why. Use of this server at your own risk!"

ack: dont be silly, builds are removed if they break the rules and are erected where they should'nt be, nothing sinister like you make it to be...

[ack]

Sorry, my mistake, I didnt know I had to repeat the question.

I have NOT built WITHIN the spawn NEW area,, before it was there, or even after it was there... So why was my land removed,,, additionally, why did someone remove ONLY the chests that contain 800+ Crystal Spikes and Iron and Meze and so on,, and NOT the chests next to it that contained food or plants. As i said, it seems to me someone who can see inside chests, thought they're nice, I'll have them.. and they are gone. Just my farm land and these chests have been removed,, Not the dirt, or the trees, or less important chests.

So Who and why, and where is my stuff ?

Ack, an Admin will have to answer as to why your build was removed, but please remember that the original rule was "do not build in the water near spawn." So a build that is outside the current red line could still have been "in the waters near spawn" before the red line was added.

But on your issue of someone trying to steal your chests. Assuming the area was protected, the ONLY people who could have removed your build were the admins, who have /giveme. They would have NO incentive to "steal" your crystals at all. There is NO conspiracy here. Just a disagreement over whether your build was in a forbidden location or not.

@ack
What are the coordinates of your place?

Ack, I've went and saw your location, and I've got a couple of questions.
#1 Your place appears to still be intact, I'm confused by that if you think an admin destroyed it. Will have to wait for an admin to answer on that. Is there any chance that some of your chests weren't protected?

BUT, on the red line issue, like I said before, the red line is NEW. And if you will notice, the red line dodges AROUND your property. I did that because I was trying to go around existing protection nodes. Not because your property wasn't extending way over the shore line.

[clymancer]

Heh. I'll check this out later. Awesome!

I had to log onto this server again to check. are you telling me you can't see that 4 chests are missing at the top and one in the middle ? Also, from the "stargate" you notice my land is missing going towards these chests ?

Am I missing something here ? Is there actually an admin that has access to these logs and can view these chests and explain what I've been asking for. These chests HAD stuff in them, and were locked.

If admin can not explain this, then doesn't that mean the server is not monitored or safe for other players to play. If it can happen to me,, it can happen to anyone. Being an administrator has responsibility. You CAN NOT just go around cherry picking the chests off normal players..

That is NOT playing fair.

Ack: I've checked the coords you gave which sits outside of the spawn line so would never be touched by admin, also since the wall of chests are all locked no-one apart from yourself could take anything from them or remove a chest since admin would have no reason to do so...

Ten, that explains it. I was wondering for weeks how my land, protectors and 4 highly laden chests got removed. I must have removed them myself. Thanks for telling me about my own laps of memory.

Now I guess that's cleared up ** NOT **

Who has access to the logs ? Go see who removed the chest from that location and get them to explain themselves.

Doesn't Titanius disable the logging to get server faster?

[ack]

Oh, and we forgot I removed my own privileges too while I was at it. I guess that's not logged either.

[Kilarin]

are you telling me you can't see that 4 chests are missing at the top and one in the middle

Since I don't know what it looked like before, its not easy to tell that 4 chest were supposed to be there.

BUT, went back and checked. The hole in the middle is protected, but the place on the top row where there are not any chests is NOT protected. So someone probably discovered they weren't protected and took them. sorry. People are, unfortunately, sometimes jerks.

Okay, lets assume I'm not lying and there was 4 chests at the top containing all my valuable stuff. I logged back in as "ack2" (don't ban me for now having multiple accounts) to see if i can remove another one. Surprise, I can not remove "ack" unprotected chest. So now we're going back to the beginning and explaining this again.

After the xmas holiday. I logged onto the server to find my permissions have been removed. I am unable to eat, dig, open chests or even send messages. Someone must have done this. I then go to my land and find the wheat growing between dagenja's land and the chests have been removed (where there is now water to get to my land was a bridge and crop and trees). So I come on here to ask.

What you're (not you Kilarin, but people saying I removed it myself) assuming is I am either lying about this, or am hiding the fact and actually removed the chests and land (oh, and some how removed my permissions, is that possible ??).. So, I will tell you that I am also gold_digger on "Just Test" server. And if you kindly go on there, I can leave a notice in my shop, lets say beween my "nyan cat"'s so you can read the words "yes, i am ack on Xandau too". so you can verify this and see how much stuff I do have on there and have NO reason to actually lie or anything.

Infact, the Cystal Spikes (which "ack" is still carrying 80+ in my 4 trolleys) are not the point. I don't even need them, its the principle of the whole Admin has power but not responsibilities. I came on here, to explore and consider changing servers from lags just testing to here. Well....

If an administrator removes someone privs, shouldn't they be recorded... And how about being re-instated so I can eat and continue on this server ? Secondly, why has that administrator taken it upon themselves to remove the Highly valuable items from my chest stack ? I would have thought they had "give <user> <item>" privs aslwell.. Unless it was a sub-admin that doesn't have this full access, but can steel items...

Ack, this is getting out of control already and I really do not wish to repeat myself over and over... Xanadu has two admin, Titanius and myself (TenPlus1) both with FULL privs inc. give so we wouldn't need to steal anything on server... The server logs only record so much then get recycled to speed up the server so whatever happened to your chests was in the older logs so no way of knowing that far back... The only other thing I could imagine happening is a map glitch of that area causing corruption of the chests and protection nodes...

Fine, then I'll have to stick with the other server due to the glitch causing me to lose my permissions and I am no longer able to build as I am not allowed multiple accounts either.

Thanks

[lag01]

Reading this post i was completely sure ack is gold_digger, maybe by his style :)
I think, root of problem is - our simple servers are unable to provide him enough challenge. So, after "beating the game" he starts to do various experiments, like: "hey, how near to spawn i can build, without admin getting angry?", "hey, can i make admin disable pvp by intensive complaining?", "hey, can i make admin give me back stuff lost because of in-game natural disaster?" etc. This all add additional load on admin, what is not good.
I think, solution would be to have on server more content for advanced players, make this content really hard and time consuming to get. Hawing something like server version of "technic" mod may also help. Or we may add something like "final mission", like minecraft did...

[TenPlus1]

Good idea lag01, I made items like the crystal Gilly Staff so you had to explore the different biomes in order to obtain items and craft it, and was going to add another new tool which Xanthin thought up... Will look into additions to Xanadu and as always ideas are welcome...

[auouymous]

ideas are welcome...

Is it possible to make the screen flash red when you get attacked while wearing crystal armor? There is currently no indication that a hostile mob is hitting you in the back because crystal armor absorbs all damage.

What about a water breathing helmet crafted from a crystal helmet and 4 gilly staffs (same pattern as ingots in a normal helmet). Maybe throw in some other items to make it more expensive or harder to craft, but if its possible it should exist. Its a pain to constantly have to switch to the gilly staff every 30 seconds or so while working under water for hours.

And what about some expensive crystal boots that disable gravity while in water. Maybe also have them disable gravity outside water.

The new boots and helmet could even have negative effects, forcing you to take them off when out of water or not flying. They could slow you down, have no armor/healing, or add negative armor points to negate any other armor you are wearing. The helmet could cut your max speed in half when out of water. The boots would always reduce max speed to 25%, in or out of water.

Is any of this possible?

[TenPlus1]

Will look into those...

[pepprim]

What about a water breathing helmet?

I fully support this suggestion! It would be very usefull.

Also maybe would be interesting to find more utilities to the corals. I don't know... maybe new different building blocks (stained/colorized ice bricks blocks, for example). Or the water breathing helmet crafting recipe itself... Them could be used for more food but i think Xanadu already have more than enough food diversity.

About the boots and underwater gravity. I am not so enthusiastic about the proposal, but anyway, maybe there is no need to make new boots. I mean, maybe the winged mese boots could includes those properties.

The anti-gravity boots would have a big speed penalty to limit their use to building and not for exploration and mining. Owners of winged boots might not want a speed penalty on their boots.

Well, that's my point auouymous...

I think that the ocean should be to explore and mine but not to build. But please, pay attention that I'm saying "ocean" not "underwater". Don't misunderstand me. I mean...

...For example: right know I'm building a harbor but for that i'm taking a natural formation on the coast (a small cove). So I just pretend give it some shape, make it clean an nice and place a small wood pier and a boat.

But have never build a house or something in the middle of the ocean or the seabed. I wouldn't like to find obstacles constantly when sailing from an island to another or crossing the ocean far away to find unexplored land.

And if the reasons to explore the seabed increase, then neihter wouldn't want to find it full of ugly and useless abandoned buildings, built with random materials.

Hello, I don't know whether this is an appropriate post for this section or not, but does anyone know what the code is for Cactus Juice?

I am starting a barter shop but I am really lacking with codes.

[pepprim]

Perry,

you can craft a node inspector (with one glass and one steel ingot: see the craft guide for the position...).

Then you could place the item somewhere, point it with the node inspector in hand and click the left button of your mouse. If item cannot be placed you can just drop it to the floor with "Q" key and point the node inspector to the node where the item fell.

When you click, the item string code will appear at the bottom of the screen, in the left side near the HUD. It will remain there untill you use the node inspector again or leave the game.

Also the client program itself shows the item string code for nodes you are pointing each time. Well, at least the last stable version for Ubuntu does (Minetest 4.11).

I hope these instructions are helpful to you.
