server down

by **VanessaE** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 15:30

Actually neither, my internet connection has been down for a few days. Some nitwit failed to replace a rotted utility pole, and of course it fell, taking my section of the network with it on the way down.

Everything's back up and running normally.

Could I have Interact?

Name: isThatMe

by **VanessaE** » Sat Jul 20, 2013 03:45

Sure, just sign onto the server once first with that exact name.

by **VanessaE** » Sat Jul 20, 2013 12:56

Sorry for the downtime this morning - power went out for a while. Probably related to the street festival that's going on this weekend in my town.

by **VanessaE** » Sat Jul 20, 2013 20:44

There's inclement weather in my area today that is affecting the power, so the server may go offline for a while. Sorry in advance for the downtime.

by **VanessaE** » Sat Jul 20, 2013 22:01

Minetest upstream got a protocol version bump today, so this server has been updated accordingly. You must use a nightly/git build newer than July 20 to connect.

Also, installed DanDuncombe's "camo" mod, minus a few pvp-related bits.

can i please have interact

by **VanessaE** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 06:57

Sure as long as you use a more readable userid on the server than what you're using here.

by **Dan Duncombe** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 18:30

I've updated the camo mod, check it out.

It's not that bad after you type it a half dozen times :-) It's kind of like memorizing those old cheat codes on nintendo, ududlrlrabab start

Hi VanessaE, can I please have interact? And you can get my skin here: http://teia.bio.br/nuvem/public.php?service=files&t=b7cb3966dbad2dad6e78f620e361bb63

Thanks. :-)

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 24, 2013 17:15

Interact granted and skin installed for aracnus

by **Dan Duncombe** » Wed Jul 24, 2013 17:18

Can I please have this skin VanessaE?

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 24, 2013 18:41

Skin installed for Dan.

There's some lava griefing near spawn again. The large tree between the teleport interchange station and the hirise office building is covered with lava as well as some parts of the minecart tunnels below spawn at -20.

btw, Vanessa could you complete the minecart loop under spawn? One corner is under protected area.

by **VanessaE** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 02:37

Lava has been cleaned up (not sure who did it) and the loop is completed.

by **aracnus** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:20

Hi VanessaE. Is there any problem with my account (or did I do something wrong)? I can't interact anymore.

by **aracnus** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:29

And another thing. When I can't use your world locally. The game stops with this error message:

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: Error loading mod "extranodes": LuaError: Number of registerable nodes (4096) exceeded (technic:stair_marble_bricks_half)

Do I have to change anything on my settings? I'm using the latest git update of both minetest and your game (just git pulled both).

by **twoelk** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:45

Thanks Vanessa, just had a look before driving to work. Now I only need more time and a plan how to build a proper underground station at spawn. Was thinking about somewhere under Interchange, or some big vaulted hall under spawn. Wonder wether we now have the longest connected minecart system on a public server.

Oh dear have you visited spawn area in the last hours? Nearly got grilled when I arrived via teleportbox. Wonder wether reports on grieving spawn grieving actvity :(

Oh well planning to go to Legoland in Billund in Denmark this weekend with all my nephews and nieces. So I guess wont be online often in the next days ... or If I manage to, I might bring a hord of buildingblock fanatics.

Thanks for the missing corner - now I need to come up with something fitting the place.

by **DominikSo** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:48

i have a problem. I can't login to the server. Now I installed minetest 0.4.7 and I still can't login.

Which version of minetest do I need for your server? Could you please provide a download link to the needed version?

thx a lot and I wish you a beautyful summer :)

You just need the latest github build.

by **twoelk** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 12:59

minetest-0.4.7-46d1d70-sfan-win32 from 20130720 works for me.

follow the links to the builds by PilzAdam or sfan5 on the http://minetest.net/download page.
For example in sfan5's listing try the one with "|latest" behind the name.

Today - 25th of July 2013 that would be:
http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest-builds/c55/minetest-0.4.7-46d1d70-win32.7z

or else compile from source found at github - can't help you on that ...

by **aracnus** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 18:12

Well, my user is ok now. I can interact again. But as twoelk said, there is a lot of lava near spawn. Is there any way to help cleaning it, VanessaE?

And I have three questions:

I started building around coords -265, 42, -1271. There is a big lake near, with rock walls on its shores. I would like to know if I can make some (probably big) structures under water and alongside these walls (my idea is to build inside them, preserving the overall structure).

What are the rules to build travelnets? Is there any "public" network that connect users? Or anyone has its own network and just build a node of it near spawn?

Since I'm enjoying your server a lot, I would like to know if there is something I can do to help maintaining it. I don't have much free time, but would like to colaborate with it. :-)

Hey vanessaE we have lava galore my house has been destroyed and so has other monuments i cleaned up some of it but im lagging so bad it wont go away halp.

by **VanessaE** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 22:33

doyouseemysword123:
Yeah no shit you have lava everywhere, rollback_check shows that YOU PLACED IT, and /rollback got rid of just about all of it. You have been banned from this server.

aracnus:
My "game" is not really made to be run on unmodified builds as it's more of a megapack. To run it locally, you need to tweak your server build to be able to use more than 4096 nodes - edit src/mapnode.h. Change the "#define MAX_REGISTERED_CONTENT 0xfffU" at line 45 to something like 0x7fff and recompile/re-install.

My server has already been so-modified, so anything newer than July 22 should work fine without changes. I.e. this tweak is only needed on servers, not clients.

You can build pretty much anything you want, and anywhere you want on my server as long as it's in good taste and doesn't encroach onto someone else's space or structures.

As for Travelnet boxes, I think there are one or two "public" networks, but I don't remember what they are except that they're in the Travelnet Plaza on North St. You can set up as many as you want, but please don't make *too* many - after all, one box can reach a couple dozen destinations if properly configured. Put them in the travelnet plaza with the others - there's plenty of unclaimed space at each end of the plaza.

by **VanessaE** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 22:53

Also, on an unrelated note, I've reset all owned areas that started at Y=-100 to start at Y=0 instead, which should make building the subways easier in the future as long as they're below that point. I'm sure there are a couple of places that'll need to be tweaked, just let me know if that's necessary anywhere. Nothing else has been changed.

by **Doyouseemysword?123** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 04:10

Wait, What? i wasnt on here for like 2 days i only came on today.... nevermind i should just leave i get blamed for this shit anyway why not now....

by **VanessaE** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 04:45

Look, either you placed those lava blocks, or you're letting someone else use your account. Either way, I confirmed AND reverted the mess via the engine's built-in rollback system, and you're responsible for what happens with your account.
