[Server] Minetest Nostalgia server [git/dev]

by VanessaE » Fri Dec 20, 2013 05:37

VanessaE's Nostalgia Server


daconcepts.com, port 30002


IRC: irc.daconcepts.com port 6667, channel #ve-servers

Admins: VanessaE, ShadowNinja, cheapie

Server Status:
http://daconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/stats.html

About:
Hi folks, this is the New Minetest Nostalgia server. It is super fast, and is themed on Minetest from the 0.2.x and 0.3.x days, with a few additions here and there to make it a bit more interesting.

There are mobs, namely Dungeon Master, Oerkki and Rat.

This server shuts down briefly for backups at 6:00 am US Eastern time (11:00 am CET).

Software Version

This server runs Minetest from the official Github repository. Other branches/forks of Minetest may occasionally be used, for testing purposes. That said, any recent version of the Minetest client should work fine on this server.

This server has an extra mod which disallows entirely-numeric and "Foobar123456" types of names. Please choose a proper username when you sign on.

Land ownership:
Although this server is designed to look and play like old versions of Minetest, some concession has to be made for the way people are, and that means, among other things, allowing for the concept of land claims/ownership. Areas may be claimed either on your own or with my help. For self-protection, start by marking the area you want to claim. Do one of these three things:

Option A:
Just type /area_pos set and then punch two nodes that are diagonally opposite one another, so that they form a 3d box that fully encloses the area you want to claim. A black [1] or [2] will appear where you punched.

Option B:
1. Move to one corner, on the ground.
2. Type /area_pos1 and press enter. A black [1] will appear.
3. Move to the other corner and go up a ways above your area - not too high though.
4. Type /area_pos2 and press enter. A black [2] will appear.

Option C:
Just give actual coordinates to the /area_pos1 and /area_pos2 commands, such as /area_pos1 123,45,678 /area_pos2 987,654,321

Claim it:
Any of these three methods marks your desired area. Now, claim the area you just marked. Just type:
/protect some description here

You may protect up to 16 zones with these commands, and each can be up to 50x100x50 meters in size.

Sublet it:
Ok, you've claimed an area, and you want to let someone else build there. Simple. Set the coordinates of the box you want to let them build in, using the commands above (Options A, B, or C). Then do:
/add_owner your_area# their_name description here

For example, if you own area #123 and the other person's name is "Mike", and you want to sublet them some area called "Mike's home", you might do something like this:

/add_owner 123 Mike Mikes Home

You can add as many users as you like to your areas. You will need to issue one such command per user.

But it's too big! Or, I have too many areas!
If you somehow need a larger area, or more areas in general, ask me to do it. In this case, areas on the surface will be protected from Y=0 to +99, with at least some horizontal easement, as appropriate to a given structure and the structure's altitude/elevation. Sub-surface areas will be protected from -100 to -1 unless otherwise requested. Any elevations/altitudes are allowed, if you need something specific.

The server's spawn area and the four main roads are under my ownership. Any unowned structures that have become abandoned will be also, after some time. Areas/structures that have been imported from a saved file (e.g. from another map) will also be if those areas aren't claimed by someone else already.

Mods:
  • The mt_nostalgia game
  • IRC
  • Server admin tools such as maptools, areas mod, worldedit, etc.

If you like this server, you should also check out Minetest Classic, which is darkrose's actively-developed fork of the 0.3.x-series Minetest engine. Please note that that engine, as beautiful as it is, does not work with 0.4.x servers.

The Minetest Nostalgia Game was originally maintained by Dan Duncombe.

In order to clear out tons of old cruft out of my servers, I needed to clear out player inventories and accounts. In so doing, lots of legit players got caught up in the mess. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please, sign in once and either leave me a forum PM or a message on IRC, or send me a regular old fashioned Email, or just mention it here, and I'll restore your interact.

Inventories can be restored as well, if necessary.

Small update: I've adjusted the backup schedule of this server to occur at 10:00 am UTC (5:00 am EST) to better coincide with the quietest times my servers tend to experience. Also, for anyone interested, I've posted a publicly-accessible server stats page, here (updated once a minute):

As these servers have picked up, I've found myself having to adjust my backup schedule to avoid knocking too many people off for the backup to occur. I've pushed the time back a few hours so that the backup cycle will now occur at 1:00 pm UTC (8:00 am EST).

Thanks for this wonderful server! I love the style the game had back then.

May I ask, could you add something like the home mod? I live far away from spawn and I do not want to walk all the way back if I die.

That's possible. Anyone feel like coding such a thing for this game? I'm not one for modding Nostalgia game, so I don't actually know how how it would work. ;-)

Notice to all users of my servers: I have changed the morning restart time to 1:30 am to better coincide with the slowest period my servers seem to experience lately. This change affects all of my servers.
