Is anyone interested in creating an arena for a minetest version of the Walls?

Built a Nyan cat at -1123,35,-1058 (Noogah's town)

Wow, I am surprised.

You seriously didnt know this?

I don't particularly go around player's houses to check if their computer uses a hacked client...

Is it AspireMint?

No, not AM, but I have hacked client too.

I changed source code (with help, I'm programming noob), now I can see others cords and how far they are from me.

I think that hacking is not bad as long as we do not do the harm to others.

Btw: That was one of my first mod ideas. http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2324

Didn't you know it was Foobar? He flies, and stuff. He told me himself a while back.

by **Sokomine** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 19:16

Foobar didn't exactly hide his modifications to his client. When someone flies around who hasn't the fly priv, it becomes kind of obvious. The other modifications Foobar uses and told everyone intrested about are click rate (apparently a config thing) and nyan cat appearence prediction. I'm only mentioning it here because not all players seem to know (not everyone is online at the same hours!).
While flying and the ability to place blocks faster may make building slightly easier, they don't have much influence on gameplay and quality of building. The time saved ought to go into higher quality buildings, so I'd expect slightly more of someone with a modified client than of someone without. Foobar seems to invest his time mostly in helping other players build larger structures - so that's perfectly ok as well :-)

As part of a conversation that came up in-game:

can i please have this area protected under whiteboyswag -248,11,1792 -259,22,1801

I still dont have this protected

Chainlynx, The Rumpelstiltskin guy was on again, he was looking for you then said some weird poem thing involving locked chests. Happened around 5:35 PST

I think it is faster to catch one of the moderators on game and ask in game. You and moderator need to be in game to get bigger or more than 2 lands.

That's right, you need to reminder in-game about this request (number 3882) Sokomine, Foobar or me.

Alright, I am writing to finally and formally announce the existence of Fort Noogah -

I have opened a fort at coordinates -1100,35,-1000

This a protected fort, but I will give privileges to any credible party who would like to build there.

We have

Public materials for residents
A church
Orchards
Houses
Road system
Pixel art
A gigantic basement [under construction]

The fort is not completely finished yet, but it is far enough along in its development that I am ready to let people know it is there. In the future, I plan on building a library, and a rather deep jump into a lit cave pool area. This will also serve as access into caverns and mines.

Below are some screenshots:

We are located by bridge, directly across from and connected to MisterBanana's castle, again, at co-ordinates -1100,35,-1000

Why don't redcrab make a server with an copy of this server's map updated every few days so all greafers can go there and not touch anything here.

It wouldn't stop them. Griefers are called griefers because they take pleasure in ruining other people's fun. If all they cared about was destruction then they'd likely just make ginormous craters here and there throughout the land.

Wow! I think this is great idea!

- "fly", "fast" and "telepotrt" for everyone (and maybe "giveme")
- no protection (except close spawn area - to prevent blocking spawn)
- map copied every week from main server

Advantages:
+ Easy exploring
+ At least part of greifers could riot
+ Testing new mods and versions of Minetest, without risk of damage original world.

Disadvantages:
- I don't know if server will handle new CPU and HDD load.

If on Linux, run it with a high 'nice-value', which in effect is a lower CPU and disk priority.

I did that; but it didnt do anything; others can still dig, as I found out this morning.

In this case, maybe there was an error and the protection did not work. It usually prints an error message in that case. You can use /list_areas to check your areas. For larger projects, larger regions can be protected. For a start, the selfprotect region ought to be large enough.

It says: '/protect startpos endpos' when I hit '/protect x,y,z,x,y,z'. Is that normal?? Then, when I hit '/list_areas', it says: 'showing your owner entries (you can delete only these)'; that's all it says. There's no properties listed.

no comma between first x,y,z and second x,y,z:

/protect x,y,z x,y,z

Nope; nothing.... /list_areas is still blank :-/

Do not include decimals. It should be

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: 512, 20, 82 221, 12, -61
