[Server] Just Test Tribute

[BBmine]

I hope sorcerykid does a good job on this server!

[ExeterDad]

sorcerykid has a good head on her shoulders. All will be fine :)
Although maikerumine stepping aside bums me out at the same time.

Looking forward to seeing the shiney new server :P

As sorcerykid posted just a few posts back:

The relaunch of Just Test II server is scheduled for Monday, December 19. An announcement will be made on the forums with the new IP address and port at that time.

Maybe it's the 19th in your time zone, but not hers. Give her a bit to launch the thing and make the announcement :)

[BlueFireIceUn]

Excited about server to open but it has to open today and it still not opened :(

[sorcerykid]

I know people are anxious for the relaunch but please be patient. Maike and I are working on getting everything ready.



Like I said above, JT2 is planned to go live today (assuming no major problems crop up). Since I live in the United States, it is still morning here. An announcement will be made when it is ready.

Thanks for your understanding :)

New server is awesome! :D sike!

[maikerumine]

be patient, we are almost there!

[eddd]

cool! any word on the name? will it still appear as Just Test 2 in public server list?

[maikerumine]

You will see it, when ready! ans yes, it most likely will be back at the top of the server list!

[843jdc]

Please hurry. I can't any more of Cash's World. It's a mad house there.
And MustTest seems down also. Or up and down.

xD

[eddd]

:D

[maikerumine]

]jt2.intraversal.net port 30002 THANK SORCERYKID!!!!!!!!!

[eddd]

oh yeah its back!

[sorcerykid]

As promised, JT2 was brought back online today. I needed to make extensive changes to the mapgen settings as well as to update my cavegen.cpp code for 0.4.14, so that was part of the reason for the delay. Thanks, however, to maike we got everything sorted out in time.

I will be spending all day Tuesday updating spawn with Christmas decor and adding a few other holiday surprises! :)

This was a HUGE undertaking, so once again I really appreciate everyone's patience. Long live Just Test!

[DragonsVolcanoDance]

YAY! Even doing usually boring things such as harvesting wheat and trashing seeds was as fun as jumping off of towers. And finding more noob bones in my lava lake too :D So glad to see the server back. Thanks to sorcerykid & maikerumine!

I hope this server will have the easyvend mod installed one day. Because the original vendor mod is buggy and incomplete. (Some examples: You can't sell more than 1 tool at once in vending machines. If you try anyway, you actually sell only 1 tool for the full price. You can't sell more than the maximum stack size allows. Buyers don't know beforehand if they are going to buy damaged tools. Ugly interface. People often fail to setup the machines correctly. Etc.)
viewtopic.php?t=15472

In fact, the only reason I wrote easyvend was because of this server because I felt the original vendor mod on Just Test was lacking.

But I fear it is currently impossible to transition from vendor to easyvend without breaking all vending machines. But maybe you could put this mod on your “watch list”, maybe? :-) Maybe I should put more work into compability stuff. But if someone wants to post comments into this thread, I will appreciate it. :-)

PS: The signs at spawn need updating.

PPS: What is the actual name of this server? Because there is some naming confusion:

• @test@
• Just Test II
• JT 2
• JT2
• @test@ Just Test II
• @test@ Just Test II [SERVER]
• @test@ JT2

Seems someone can't really decide on a name. ;-)

[Fixerol]

Congrats!

[sorcerykid]

Thanks Wuzzy I'll take that into consideration. As for signs, I haven't changed anything yet. This is just a fresh copy of the map from the archive supplied by maikerumine. Updates will occur today.

The official name of the server is now JT2: Just Test Tribute, to distinguish it from the earlier incarnation of @test@. I'm hoping the new, more distinct name will make it easier to search on Google, etc. I will keep @test@ for awhile, however, to allow former players find it.

Fixer this is stable build of 0.4.14 from source at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/bui ... dID=774540

[Andrey01]

I remember Just Test server didn`t name as "Just Test 2".Possible is this like copy of last server?

[GoldFireUn]

@843jdc: MustTest was down because I was upgrading hardware, but that's done now. :)
@Wuzzy: I'm using a slightly modified version of your easyvend mod on my server. Just thought I'd let you know.
@sorcerykid, @maikerumine: I'm glad to see your server is up! Some people were thinking it wasn't ever going to come back.

I've made topic for my server at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16087

[sorcerykid]

Great news! I tracked down the source of the extreme lag earlier today. It ended up being a problem with Minetest's builtin authentication handler (a particularly nasty bug for servers with a large userbase and frequent logins). Performance is now on par with my original expectations, even slightly better than anticipated. But if any other problems crop up, please post them here so I can address them!

With that said, it's it's GREAT to be back online and to see so many familiar faces!

This server wouldn't be possible without our tight-knit community. Countless people have contributed to JT2; I can't even begin to name everybody that deserves to be credited for its success! It is all of YOU that made JT2 into what it is today. Thank you for supporting this project. And an extra big kudos to maikerumine for putting the wheels in motion on the next generation of "just test". Maike ROCKS!

Cheers everyone and happy holidays :)

[maikerumine]

Quick question: It it BroИken?

[sorcerykid]

No just having some issues getting the protected doors to work right since they are using old door code. Shouldn't be too much longer. :)

[maikerumine]

K !!

[BBmine]

Protected doors work fine for me. Are you using the latest protector mod?

[maikerumine]

[LaserJet]

wait there is more i dont know the full history of JT but i know it was a good server. why is there so many i saw JT2 somthing on the master serverlist what is going on?

[maikerumine]

The original Just Test was created over three years maybe 4 years ago, only as a test server. Read this thread for history.: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10539
And we all became a family.

[sorcerykid]

JT2 is this server, formerly hosted by maikerumine under the name @test@.
