***NEW UPDATE:*** Server will be down for a day or so for updates/changes. URL has changed as well and offsite cache download is broken and must be fixed.

***OLD UPDATE***: Server cache archive and map are now updated. Server is considered "fairly stable" and in need of performance testing. If you connect for the first time, be sure to download the cache archive and decompress as instructed or you might be waiting awhile for minetest to connect (there is close to 20MB of cache).

We now have a map!
http://ompldr.org/vaDkxYw/worldmap.png

Also for ease of connection, we now have the cache compressed:
http://ompldr.org/vaDkybA
Download the above archive and decompress into cache folder (overwrites media folder)

This server is now considered "fairly stable" and needs performance testing. It is using latest unstable. To play you will need same. The server may go down from time to time for updates/changes/crashes. You know crap happens. World backups will be done roughly every day or so and will be reverted if TSHTF. You WILL have to have a password to connect.

Some updates:
* Direct domain for the server: dtamedia.info Port 50000
* Server info page: http://minetest.dtamedia.com/

If you want build ask for it. However I will ONLY give build to reputable forum users or those that reputable forum users can vouch for.

For crafting recipes use the "PC Terminal" in spawn area. There are far too many mods installed to list each and every craft recipe here.

Some screenshots from in the world (as of 12/07/2012)

This is of DARGONs "spiral?" from his entrance (unsure what he calls it exactly)

This is of DARGONs "spiral thing" from one of his vantage points. From here he calls it the running man

May I test it?
Can I have interact?
Thanks.

Well first off you need to connect and create a player file. Once connected look around a little and see if its a server you want to play on and test. If I'm on (RAPHAEL) then ask me in game for interact.

I'm joining the server,but media loading is so slow.

Posted: **Mon Dec 03, 2012 15:47**

Im joining
I just plain like betatesting. :)

hey dude am I still on the invite list from last time? I assume not so username sdzen I hope to build on this server some.

For right now I will allow sdzen but I will need sdzen to post a reply confirming their username on the server. After which I will give interact.

For Leroy, LorenzoVulcan and kaeza I will need to look into your rep further when I have more time (soon).

Ahem. I believe there is something strange with the white block that has a face? whenever I get near it the server shuts down

coordinates?

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2012 21:58**

well go to my player file and look where I am its about 5 to 6 blocks away.

sdzen wrote:well go to my player file and look where I am its about 5 to 6 blocks away.

The problem with that is the coords in player file are incorrect. I suspect some kind of bug but it seems player coords are always insanely high and nowhere near real coords.

This block, is it near any structures that could be described? I have reset your coords to 0,0,0 for now.

EDIT: after thinking about it.. white block with a face sounds like a worker from the workers mod. However I have not had any issues with the workers in the world yet and it seems others haven't either.

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2012 22:47**

Alright debug obtained and it's that same dang "bug" as I call it that's been around since 0.3 that seems nobody can fix.

I will report it in the bugs forum and hopefully this can get fixed.

Added some screenshots

Posted: **Sat Dec 08, 2012 09:23**

Server back up for further testing.

Posted: **Sat Dec 08, 2012 14:13**

It just told me the server shutting down? why is that raphael?

Must be a crash since on restarts I always anounce it in game. Of course I wasn't online during your visit to the server.

Hello all ^_^

I'm DARGON Co-Admin of the DTAMedia Minetest Server! Just introducing myself, and posting a couple updates.

DTAMedia Minetest Server is running on a Debian Based Linux Server which also host DTAMedia.com (Business / Portal) site, and Social.DTAMedia.com (Dargon Social Media Project BETA 0.3). Our Minetest Server is Officially a "Project" of Dargon Social Media. The goal of Dargon Social Media is to use Opensource/Open API/Open Code and other related projects to expand the presence of Media of all kinds on the Internet! The Project was started and implemented by RAPHAEL, he is the "Project Coordinator" for the project (so if something goes wrong it's probably him you need to see :p).

I have put up the Landing Page on the Social site here:
http://social.dtamedia.com/modules/content/content.php?content_id=8

RAPHAEL and I have worked on a number of projects together over the years, including but not limited to; previous variations of the Dargon Social Media Project, other Websites, IRC Channel Hosting, Community Building, Online Media Broadcasting/Hosting, Messaging Client Customization (For Previous Projects), and a bunch of other stuff !!!

Now on the the less formal stuff... So far I think after our romps among the best and worst of what IRC has to offer, this project has been the most fun and rewarding with the least frustration and effort! Not only have we been able in a short time build a whole world online, I have personally been able to introduce this cool "Vertual World" to my Step-Daughter who has fallen in love with the concept of being able to interact so easily with a "World" and be able to see her progress and efforts take shape where not just she can appreciate it... but others as well ^_^ Long ago when I first hand coded my first HTML based Webpage and uploaded it to some server out in the interwebs, it wasn't till almost a year later when I started to see the results of my work... It means SO much to me to be able to see her have 10 fold the satisfaction I had from my efforts almost instantaneously!

Sorry but unless someone with more reputation can vouch for you, you need more rep.

=== BUG FIXES AND UPDATES ===
Not sure if there was a post from RAPHAEL about this or not, but the technic mod has been removed for now due to instability. Will remain out until further notice.

Okay, so... the moretrees mod was getting on mine and others nerves not decaying... so I added the original trees decay config to the moretrees mod. for some reason though we now have the "Floating fruit" issue with the new tree cones the way we used to have problems with apples and bananas ... but much better than the thousands of leaves that needed to be dug without the modification.

A new pre-configured with prebuilt cach installer is now available for windows... see the info on the http://minetest.dtamedia.com page

We will be updating the minecart mod sometime in the near future as well, so stay in touch.
