Do we need to have minetest V0.4.5 to go on the server?
Also, I can't access the server, when it says "waiting content" it doesn't load or do anything. I don't know if it's because i have the worlds slowest internet connection AND the worlds slowest computer, or if it is something fixable.

The server has a lot of mods, you'll have to wait a few minutes before joining it while the mods download. Try using Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, too.

nevermind, it's working now

That's just way too many in one spot :-)

They're just looking for their home (which is nearby) :-)

VanessaE i plan on haveing them spawn on map generation so if you will want to have them around spawn then me and you can manually spawn them

by **Traxie21** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 21:03

Btw, If anyone noticed, I made a mod that while installed, will delete all of jojoa's NPC's (to fix the unknown objects problem)

Don't forget to remove it when you reinstall Peaceful NPC.

For some reason, Minetest will not work on my laptop. It says "GLSL not available" what should I do?

by **VanessaE** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 22:39

I'm afraid I don't know what that error is caused by, except I've seen others mention it before (on other servers).

by **12Me21** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 22:48

I don't think there is a way to fix it, and the weird thing is if I search is on the minetest forums, only 3 results come up (2 are my topics) but if I look around, I find a few topics with GLSL in the name.

that's OpenGL shaders. assuming you are on Windows, you could try xyz's unofficial minetest version, because it uses Direct X instead of OpenGL.

http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4240

If you're on Linux, check that your video card drivers are up-to-date, maybe reinstall Mesa.

If you happen to be using xyz's version, uncheck Shaders in the options, because it doesn't use OpenGL shaders.

by **12Me21** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 21:03

Never mind, I figured out why it wouldn't work. It is because my graphics card is too old. I always have shaders disabled (on my other computer) because if they are enabled, everything looks red.

You know that picture of the entire map that's in the first post? When was it last updated? also, when was the downloadable map file last updated?

by **VanessaE** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 00:28

I update the overview map every so often, the downloadable world a bit less so, but both should be at least within the last couple of days.

May I have interact privilege. Name: Ribic

Interact granted for Ribic.

Sorry all, for the unknown blocks everywhere. Technic mod is missing some aliases. Please do not remove unknown blocks if you find them, unless they're causing a problem for your structure. All the blocks are still there, so please feel free to build normally - the old names just aren't being aliased properly, so what was already there will look wrong for now.

This will get fixed as soon as possible. When it is, all unknown blocks will automatically change to the right ones.

Also, sorry for the downtime this morning folks, the server mis-wrote one of our players' files, causing the server to start crashing. The file has been identified, anonymised, and a bug report has been sent to the Minetest developer team with the contents of that file and the crash log. The server is up and running again.

Taking a while to connect

yeah, I can't get on either.

by **VanessaE** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 03:41

The server was down for several hours today due to a hardware failure (which is what caused that file to go bad). Lost a stick of RAM, but fortunately there's already more on the way.

The server is back up and running normally.

That's not good about the hardware failure, but at least now you know why the user file went bad. It sounds like it probably won't happen again for quite a while.

by **VanessaE** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 06:41

yeah, with any luck that's the last hardware failure I'll see for a long while.

by **SilverWolfLily22** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 12:13

Hi VanessaE please may i have interact my in-game name is Lilly22.
xoxo

by **VanessaE** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 17:27

Sure, but please sign onto the server once first with that in-game name so it knows about you.

ahh i saw that i was wonder what that was

by **Rainbowllamas881** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 17:47

This sounds awesome! :) I can't wait to join it

by **VanessaE** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 18:36

Looks like most problems are solved now with the server. The server is down to only 2GB RAM for the next couple of days, but it seems stable now. Our DNS record is working again (I only found out today that it wasn't - my fault.), and Moreblocks and Technic mods are fixed.

May I have interact priveleges. In game name is s42

by **TheAlphamale** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 01:49

Hello Vanessae, I remember your name vaguely from my time at Gameboom before it went downhill, I entered your server today in which i must note the beauty of the map, so i was wondering if i could have building permissions and the ability to inhabit my own small area so i can build my house =)

I will go by the name listed here on the forums, TheAlphamale

by **blakeyon2asd** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 02:10
