"just test" server

[twoelk]

uh? whats all that admin TNT doin at spawn?

[maikerumine]

I noticed a lot more griefing lately too, spawn is allkindsof messed up now. It's hard to see it destroyed so often.

[maikerumine]

It must be stated.

Guest2131 has been frequenting the server for quite some time this week, usually around this time and all he does is kill over and over to anybody, I cannot get work done without this dude spawning on the property next to my tree farm, he camps out there and does nothing else but kill and grief..

If you can ban-hammer his i.p. that would be great.

I know this because on multiple occasions I just sat and watched him, same patterns, same play every time. How is it that a guest can acquire a diamond sword, RIGHT after death? He has extra privs, I am sure of it.

It is getting rather annoying, actually.

May-be he uses trick, to collect items from his bones after death.
Try to vote against him and ask your friends vote too.

You can go and vote to kick him to jail at spawn.

Do you ever plan on adding an armor mod to the server or allowing the players to set a home? The armor would be a little reassuring to the players that have worked hard some security.

I think it adds to the over all challenge to the server to not have armor, it all comes down to what weapon you have at that point. Also, he mentioned he didn't want people becoming hermits. It is safe 200+ meters outside of city, just start a fort and mine, that is what I did and I am "rich" now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUST TEST SERVER!!!

Okay, not one year old yet, one hundred more days to go, but still!!!
You are 265.4 days old now.

Thank you Lag, for all you do to keep the server up and running smoothly.

Maybe you can update the server map image to see all the progress and celebrate one year on a test server!

[maikerumine]

This just in. Somebody burned down my entire tree farm, all burned to the ground. It must have happened between last night and today, is there a way to check the logs to see who made a fire? I have cityblock, I thought that prevents lava from getting in? What happened?? Can you please see who was mucking about and burned down my farm?
I'm kinda depressed about the whole thing actually.

UPDATE: Shammmmms village is gone too, EVERYTHING! Please help, Lag!

Sadly i was unable to recover burnt houses..
I also was unable to discover, from where fire started. Nobody placed lava nearby today and no admins tnt ignited, so i have no clues...
I will come back to it when i have more free time.

Understood. Bummer. Well, we do have a suspect numero uno who we all witnessed burn down Asia's house. That should be a clue.

[disableclouds]

Suspect is player "evil", IIRC there was already lava in the village, just walled in a "foundry" area. We should have a recent local copy of the map with these blocks covered, if that's something you could use.

[lag01]

Looking at the map, damage from recent corruption+rebuild+mapgen may be quite notable.
Especially at old Russian city at x300y-1000, it looks completely destroyed or buried. I will go ingame, and check, if that city is still there, under the mountains...

it is. :-( Sadly. However ALL items are still there, all the air nodes were replaced with stone. the major damage, is where the mapgen rivers delete EVERYTHING in it's path, like sss stairway to the sky road. Some of the north south railroad is buried, that is the mountain that "popped up" as I was exploring. It is a loss for some, but adds a great deal of interesting things to excavate. :-)

Russian Village:

SSS Stairway:

Railway i was trapped in:


Also, there are some pretty sweet floating islands to be discovered! ;-)

[twoelk]

I once posted this picture of the settlement about 1000 nodes south of spawn


now after mapgen decided to redesign some areas it looks a little different

Lag,

Is there a link where I can download the bone_collector, spawn_jailer, and the oerkkii spawner block?

[twoelk]

Lag,

Is there a link where I can download the bone_collector, spawn_jailer, and the oerkkii spawner block?

you could study this passage in the first post:

Some most important mods did not worked correctly out of the box, so i was forced to modify them:
carts
bones + bone_collector mod, to motivate players clean map from bones, surprisingly later that became important part of server gameplay...
protectors
simple mobs (did not posted this yet, because i broke half of code - peaceful mobs most likely will not work)

Some mods i created myself:
spawn sanitizer
teleporters
bandages(i think, they are not really popular...)

you could also look here:
https://github.com/AndrejIT?tab=repositories

or, also in this thread, read this:

Please I want to ask.. What is purpose of city block?

according to this: https://github.com/AndrejIT/city_block/blob/master/init.lua
"City block mark area 45x45 in size as part of city"
it dissables placing water in town
it dissables placing lava in town
it sends players that kill in town to jail

that should cover at least two of your subjects

Thanks Twoelk.

I do have all those mods and pulled them from git, however the ones I requested were not posted for download.

[twoelk]

hm,
I thought the bones collector function was part of his bones fork and the city-block takes care of sending people to jail. Might be wrong though ...

"mods": ["spawn_command", "screwdriver", "fire", "dye", "craft_guide", "default", "xpanes", "wool", "farming", "beds", "bandages", "vessels", "vendor", "tnt", "admins_tnt", "teleports", "stairs", "less_guests", "kick_voting", "inventory_plus", "simple_skins", "golden_mark", "give_initial_stuff", "flowers", "doors", "diamond_mark", "chat_antiflood", "chat_anticurse", "carts", "bucket", "protector_mese", "city_block", "bones", "spawn_sanitizer", "spawn_jailer", "mobs", "bone_collector", "boats", "applesapling"]

looking at the mod list from master server list you may be correct and these are indeed mods of their own.
Never noticed that

[lag01]

bone_collector is just 5 reciepes. i will be back after 2 hours and can post it then.
spawn_jailer is obsolete and ambiguous now, as there is city_block now.
and cursed stone i integrated in my ugly tampered simple_mobs version. http://87.110.8.195/mobs.zip

Any time soon i will add my new Cobble bomb mod to server, so hurry, and replace your cobble buildings with stonebricks!

OH JOY! Now the griefers will have some fun ruining newbie homes! lol

argh!! nooooooooooooooooooo
but I love my cobble castles :(
and cobble is cheap enough that it is not stolen as often..............
so if you do not want buildings of cobble nor default stone, then please add more other decorative stone sorts
I don't mean all the deco blocks we allready have but blocks based on stone including something with a rustic look and something that is relative cheap and can be used for roads.
And while you are at it you might as well make things craftable or otherwise available that you have allready installed such as red-desertstone.

One castle blasted with dynamite some time ago,
another grieved with lava dumped on it,
the next ripped appart by the new mapgen,
another simply wiped away including protection blocks, chests and trees by the same mapgen
and now
a cobble bomb that does not respect protection
life is indeed hard on this server

besides a castle made completely of stone bricks doesn't really look like a castle in my opinion but things may look different in other parts of the world.

whatever,
do what you think best
I will adapt and survive ... I guess

[lag01]

argh!! nooooooooooooooooooo
...

Maybe it will be pretty enough, if bomb can destroy only stone... This will make pretty fun mining tool, with almost no griefing posibility. Good thing i didn't rushed.

I am sad to hear, that damage to your buildings during last map rebuild was so great, i wish i had reasonable way to undo this...

I have one one idea in mind, how to make desert sand available in game, but that idea needs some work... Then i could think something about desert stone too.

Well, most importantly, have fun playing!

T feel you.

ALL my roads are cobble and I enjoy building them. I would hate to see all that work destroyed too. Not to mention all the cobble homes I too have built. :-(

Lag,

quick question about city block.

I am trying to use it in my world where it is just my cousin and I (2 people) and when we kill each other we do not go to the jail. I have looked at the code and tried changing the numbers around a bit but still it doesn't detect us killing each other even if standing near city block. does this only work with multiple players greater than 3?
