Redcrab's server

[Razor]

To Martin, Do you still play on this server? If so, please come online soon as we need to get back to our mining missions :P

[webdesigner97]

More or less one year ago, the mapgen bug started. Remember the good old times in old spawn city?

Spawn after mapgenbug
VanessaE was the first who called it mapgenbug
Rubenwardy lost his nyan cat rainbow
Me making an offer
Immanuel_Kant very unhappy
cactuzPL always had good ideas, thank you!
me very unhappy
redcrab finally came back
the evil protector mod
they started rebuilding spawn

Phew, that was a bad time. But we built a lot during the last year and made the server live again. :)

[Razor]

I remember WD, I remember the grief attack too. And us cleaning up all the lava from spawn and the grief attack in my shop, when some psycho let go of so much lava :@ But we made the server good again :D

[Claire]

I need a mod or an admin to help me protect my house! My house is too big for me to protect myself.

[Sokomine]

Please tell me the coordinates and when you will be online next in a PN. You can also try to reach cactuz_PL who can protect as well. We're working on getting more moderators.

[Claire]

The coordinates of the area in which I want to be protected is (6404, 1, 11293) (6473, 2, 11167)
My house is really big and I hope to expand even more, so I figured this would give me enough building space to do whatever I want.

My house is underground. So if you could possibly make it go down to at least -60 it would be much appreciated!

Sorry for such big coordinates I hope this doesn't cause any problems. I just don't want my new house to be griefed like my last one.

Well, I think we already had bigger protection requests :D

[BAGPIPE]

Is anyone else having problems connecting to the server, for my it's not.

[Sokomine]

I tried to use the time when hardly anybody was on to hunt for griefers. That seems to lead to server shutdowns sometimes.

I can't connect too, although I could connect a few mins ago.

KoalaBear is also having troubles

Hey guys watch this!

Its a video I made to help promote this server in hope to bring more players to not just this server but to the entire Minetest community.

Please excuse the bad frame rate.

I have been thinking about starting a Minetest lets play. Tell me what you think! Hope you enjoy the video! x)

Youtube don't let Germans watch the video:

"Unfortunately, this EMI-music-content is not available in Germany because GEMA has not granted the respective music publishing rights."

You should use OpenSource Music to promote a OpenSource game.

I had not considered that key feature. I am sorry you cant watch the video... :(

Redcrab needs to update this server to 0.4.7, with a brand new map.

Why a new map? Most people will be very unhappy if all their work is gone...

Love the video! Must have taken a long time :)
You could upload it to Vimeo or some other website so people in Germany ect. can watch it!

Yes update it to 0.4.7 But not a new map!!! All our work will be gone!!!

[Evergreen]

Please not a brand new map. D:

[Sokomine]

A new map would be a very bad idea. There are so many good and impressive buildings on the map that would else get lost. If new features are added, there ought to be crafting receipes for them (i.e. jungletree saplings - those would be great!). There's still no sight of Redcrab.

It would be cool if there was a way to grab the data of specific block/buildings and then you could move them to the new map. But untill that happens then NOOO NEW MAP D;

[Sokomine]

Such a "grab data from one map and transfer it to another" method would be great. It may even be pretty easy to implement - after all, most that would be required would be to rewrite indices in a database and transfer the data to another one. The trouble is that identifying the chunks you want to transfer is a bit...difficult. If you have any ideas regarding that, please tell us (maybe in an extra topic).

For this particular server, however, such a method would be useless. The map of Redcrabs server is huge! Not only in data size (that would be less of a problem), but also in area covered and amount of good buildings. What could be dropped would be scenery where players only ran along to grab papyrus and clay. Provided those chunks could be identified.

Joining maps/transfering good buildings to a new map is something of intrest for much smaller servers. Some of them may do with worldedit. Some have a slightly larger map and might profit from a map-copy-program.

[webdesigner97]

Well, it might be possible to bring buildings to new maps. IMO the main problem is to intergrate the old buildings into the new landscape. For example Soko's crafting school: Some parts of it a re under earth, now if you copy it to a new map, some parts which have been under earth then are above earth, and vice-versa. Many buildings are just too much integrated into the landscape around them.

NO! Not a new map! Then my video will be a complete waste! D:

[ch98]

Making new map will waist one of the best and maybe the biggest map existing in the minetest community. Also, it is more then 10GB so redcrab will not make anywhere to download. For most people, this map is the only reason they play on this server. So NEVER delete this map. also, redcrab clearly said that he has enough space for the map and there will be way more if we delete the test server so I see no reason to ever delete this map.

[Josh]

The map is very big, it is around 10GB which is alot, this dose cause lag problems.
I suppose we could just save all of the important parts with worldedit.

This map is big but there is exact copy of this map a while ago in port 30402, taking up more than 10GB. If there was players on there, it would cause some lag too so I think resetting or shutting down other very unused server by redcrab will help make lag smaller. Also, there is countless buildings spread around everywhere so it may take very long time to copy all buildings. if we miss anything, someone is going to be mad.

[coffeecrafter]

am I dreaming or do they update the map?!? Must be dreaming, but I can already see my suspension bridge north of Desert City - whoooaa keep going guys you doing great! Can't wait to find my other buildings

They updated the central map. I can see my house (well my space station and half of my house) and the railway. They did not update the north map; the railway is not visible on that one. I am not sure about the other seven regions.

[ch98]

There is most chance redcrab will pay attention today or sometime soon. Because of privacy issues, I can not tell you why I know this, but he should have remembered us by 9/15/2013. At 26-Aug-2013 20:48:40 EDT, there was the most chance he remembered about existence of minetest. This is just an simple guess so do not rely on this information.
