[Server] Just Test Tribute

[BBmine]

real creepy. as soon as i submitted the last post he logged off right away.

I'll see about him (if you know what I meant XD)

[BBmine]

Thanks to DVD and ggjones, I was able to blast off 502 TNTs in GoldFireUn's mines. XD


You can also watch a video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IUfEgtFvBw&index=3&list=PLFUD8-4AXgvSzSMNP89FF6Y86VXZ2N_an

Yes, it was!

Baggins, I didn't threaten to ban you. I also didn't say that you couldn't use more than 100 TNT. And I didn't say that you crashed the server. Please cease and desist with the persistent rumour mill on these forums.

I am the sole person responsible for making the official announcements about policies, rules, et al in this thread.

Actually, the server did crash when I did it. For I myself, I'll let you know when I'm about to use a bunch of TNT so if it crashes, you won't have to waste hours trying to find the bug (me).

[sorcerykid]

Baggins, you just said that you did not cause the server to crash in your reply above (which you conveniently edited. So please stop changing your story. Anyway, I've taken the server offline, and I am placing hard limitations on TNT usage.

Also I guess I am going to have to resort to quotes now on every reply since people cannot stand by their own claims

I edited it because I realized that what I said wasn't exactly true, and I didn't want to mislead other people. Whether I said that I crashed the server or not, I do know that the server crashed at that time (could have been a coincidence). :)

[eddd]

any idea when its coming back online? just asking.

After the "FUN TNT" is edited to be less chashy servery.

Thanks guys!! LOL.

I'm having to rewrite the tnt mod because it is not reliable nor stable enough for real world use. Basically, It executes a blast sequence with multiple levels of recursion in addition to performing thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of redundant protection checks and other needlessly convoluted calculations, rather than a simple one-pass algorithm on a given blast radius. No wonder the server was crawling.

The latest revision of the tnt mod isn't much better. I only had to test it for five minutes in singleplayer mode to determine that it is not suitable for live server environment. Sorry, I will try to have everything back up and running later tonight.

[BBmine]

Ok, so it's not my fault then :D. Maybe after you fix it, I can try 10,000 TNTs. Well, maybe not that much XD.

[eddd]

who is writing these mods? just let SorceryKid rewrite minetest altogether :D

It's part of minetest_game. If she rewrites minetest, what will she call it? SorceryTest? XD

[eddd]

call it online once in a while :D

Couldn't you just disable the TNT mod in the minetest.conf until you've tweaked the mod to your liking? Playing without TNT is much better than not playing at all.
I agree the TNT is hard on a server, as is expected since there is so much to consider. A quick edit that might help you is to check where voxelminip does the actual TNT node counting. Just set a hard limit as you described. If the count is higher than the hard limit... don't let it blow. This would also prevent players from using the abm to their advantage and igniting TNT with flowing lava.
For the record your server handles 99 TNT all day long without any noticeable ill affects.
Good Luck scorcerykid, and thanks for all the hard work :)

`Ditto!

[Beast24]

So you are thinking about getting rid of TNT then or what
why is the server down or i cant find it

[sorcerykid]

For the record my home Internet went down last night and didn't even come up until an hour ago, so I haven't even been able to get online. The server will be restarted in the next few minutes, hopefully.

I did 99 first, and the server handled it fine. The problem was jumping up from 99 to 502 XD.

[DragonsVolcanoDance]

I saw what happened sorcerykid, and I am sorry :( I heard that 500 tnt would not hurt the server. I'm sorry your having to do so much extra work because of this.

*Baggins pats DVD on the shoulder.

It's ok, DVD, I don't think she's mad. Let's just do 99 TNTs next time.

[Beast24]

so we can only do 99 tnt at a time now or what is the max

[maikerumine]

How about giving TNT a rest and wait for the answer and give sorcerykid a break. She works for free on this server, costs her time and resources.

So out of courtesy, do something else for now.

Sorcerykid said that she fixed it so that now you can blast off unlimited ammounts of TNT and the server won't care. XD YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
