The engine's rollback system doesn't lie. It said you placed a bunch of blocks, and it was able to revert the damage caused by them, and this is the second or third time this has happened.

There is a standard networking rule that you'll find on every major online service out there (and most smaller ones, too), and which has been the case since the the first multi-user network access accounts came into existence, before the Internet (or even BBS's) came into common, public use: It's your account - no one else may use it, no matter who or why. You are 100% responsible for your account and whatever may have taken place under its flag.

Greetings Vanessa :-)

May I have build privileges please?

Account name Erthome with a capital E same as here.

Interact granted for Erthome.

VanessaE wrote:My "game" is not really made to be run on unmodified builds as it's more of a megapack. To run it locally, you need to tweak your server build to be able to use more than 4096 nodes - edit src/mapnode.h. Change the "#define MAX_REGISTERED_CONTENT 0xfffU" at line 45 to something like 0x7fff and recompile/re-install.

Ok. I changed the parameter, recompiled it and now it runs ok. Thank you for the tip. :-)

This is great, since my idea is to use this world on a project in schools here on my city. I'm responsible to maintain a Debian GNU/Linux derivative distribution that we use in all computers of our public schools. I'll put Minetest on the next version (it will be ready by the end of this year) and some mods you included on your server are perfect to work a lot of science concepts with students (allied with others educational skills, like creativity and cooperation, inherent to Minetest). It will be an "educational Minetest". ;-)

Ok. By the way, would you please break the blocks on -305,30,-1237 and -305,30,-1238. I connected the path to my house to the main road, but I can't break this two to connect them. :-)

And, Vanessa it's possible to have permission to use WorldEdit on your server? It would make my work much easier.

VanessaE wrote:As for Travelnet boxes, I think there are one or two "public" networks, but I don't remember what they are except that they're in the Travelnet Plaza on North St. You can set up as many as you want, but please don't make *too* many - after all, one box can reach a couple dozen destinations if properly configured. Put them in the travelnet plaza with the others - there's plenty of unclaimed space at each end of the plaza.

Made it (and saw that you put a sign on it, thank you). My idea is to use just a little of them and just to link distant places.

Added stu's hovercraft mod and qwrwed's plasmascreen mod. Updated camo modpack also, plus a few other misc. updates here and there (e.g. gloopblocks has wool stairs/slabs/etc. now).

by **sneebliahj1** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 23:01

i tried to get on it but it said invalid password? it wasnt my password.

by **VanessaE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 00:07

The first time you sign onto a server, whatever password you put in will be the password you must use every time you sign on to that server in the future. This holds true for all minetest servers (including mine).

That aside, I do not see an account for you on my server.

by **YoYoBuddy** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 02:44

oh my god, i can't see my house on the map XD

EDIT: i cant log on DX

by **VanessaE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 03:55

You need a git build no older than end-of-day July 20 to use my server now. As for your house, well, I'm sure it's on the map somewhere. :-)

how do I get the new git? so i can play on the server again

If you want the source code, it's available here:

https://github.com/minetest/minetest

If you're looking for Windows binaries, you can follow this thread:

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1523

And it's normally easy to compile GNU/Linux binaries using this instructions:

http://dev.minetest.net/Compiling_Minetest

(works very well to me) :-)

Hi Vanessa. Don't know if you saw my last message, but would you please break the blocks on -305,30,-1237 and -305,30,-1238. I connected the path to my house to the main road, but I can't break this two to connect them. :-)

Hello may I have interact please? Thanks, 222jkm

by **VanessaE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 00:11

Aracnus: fixed. Sorry, I don't give worldedit privs to anyone.

Interact granted for 222jkm

Update: Added blox mod (0.6.1) to the server. It's an oldie but a goodie. :-) As with all other mods that supply lots of colored blocks, most of the ones for this mod do not appear in the creative inventory, but rather are accessible via Sokomine's colormachine/spray booth: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6670

VanessaE? You know the little camp I made where you spotted the rotated nodes, when you updated the mod? Well, previously un-noticed by me, there appears to be some cobble stuff and water in front of it. I don't mind it being there, but I would like to know who placed it. Thanks, Dan.

by **VanessaE** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 20:54

PM sent with the results.

by **bulldog1** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:20

can you post a link to the new git?

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:26

For Windows, use sfan's latest, which as of today is only one (unrelated) commit behind git HEAD:

http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest-builds/c55/minetest-0.4.7-ff7c380-win32.7z

For Linux, just git clone/pull and build as usual.

by **bulldog1** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:27

where do I go from there

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:28

Just download the file, extract it somewhere, and run the bin/minetest program in the folder that was created when you extracted it.

by **bulldog1** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:29

ok well it's not letting me just access the file

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:30

You have to download it and make sure you save it somewhere where you have write permission such as your desktop.

by **bulldog1** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:30

i have but it has to search the web to do anything

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:38

That link I gave you is a direct download. You do not need to search the web - just right click the link, select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" or whatever your browser calls it, and save it to your Desktop.

by **bulldog1** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 03:46

ok ill try it

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 04:13

I noticed you tried to sign on, but you seemed to have some trouble. Be sure that you're running that very latest build I linked to.

Also, be sure that if your client crashes, you wait at least 30 seconds before trying to sign on again, to give the server time to realize you're not really there.

by **bulldog1** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 04:17

well it says that when I try to sign on that my windows im using is not compatable

by **VanessaE** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 08:25

That part I can't really help too much with, as that's a Windows vs. Minetest issue, rather than an issue with my server (and I use Linux anyway). Maybe Pilzadam's latest build will work? That one is here:
