FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Version: 0.4.7
Address/Port: Dynamic (see Public List)
Type: Economy
Default Privs: Shout, Interact
Game: m7-ww

New players are limited to the freebuild zone, where you spawn at. Use the shops at the mall to buy the nodes you can't craft, you can obtain credits by mining and selling precious nodes (mese, dilithium, ores).

* Chose a normal username with no more than two digits.
** Protected zones work under the autoban system (3-strikes).

If it is a warlike server maybe my camo mod will be helpful.

This server isn't intended for war - i haven't included any offensive weapons. I just don't like the idea of using code to protect buildings. Planning and defense is a lot more fun, and it's much lighter on resources than any protection mod.

Still... I think the turrets are a cool idea.

Since you like to plan things, why do you make it a creative server? I really like the idea of it, especially the strategic part of it. But I hate creative mod. It takes a lot of challenge out of a game. Dont think i am complaining directly to your server, i was just interested, what reasons could have lead to that creative part of it :3

Many of the blocks in Mauvebic's mods do not have craft recipes. Besides, creative mode is good for experimenting and building things as fast as possible.

There are too many nodes to come up with enough unique crafts recipes, and if i did they probably wouldn't make much sense.

Though there are some things like food and liquids that you can't get straight out of the inventory, you either have to farm or use pipes. If i can add more unique methods like that, then i remove the end product(s) from the inventory :-)

You could create two types of turrets. One could fire upon other players regardless of what they are doing, while the other one could only fire upon griefers and player killers. The landrush mod might be able to give you an idea of how to do this.

Okay, thats quite something why this setup might be useful. Thanks for the explanation.

you should add a lesser gravity to the world

The next thing I wanna do with turrets is have them support groups of owners, because right now they only spare the placer :p

Another thing that's driving me nuts and i want to disable is item drops. There's crap all over the map.

I run PilzAdam's mod "Item Features" to keep the map cleaned up of dropped items, it removes dropped items after a set amount of time.

I disabled the items being pushed by water because it looked like it could negatively impact performance.

I think i'd rather just remove item drops :p

Should turret bullets go through water?

If you could make it that they loose speed/damage equal to time the bullet is surrounded by water :3

I would say that bullets should go through all liquids.

New
- Added nations support:

if a player built turrets in two nations that they are a citizen in then their turrets wouldn't fire on the people in both nations then correct?

Have I been banned? If so, I'm sorry. I just wanted to explore and didn't know it would lag the server.

LadyMacBeth warned you and your friends more than once to pick an area of Vulcan and stick with it :P Other people need to be able to play.

Doesn't the current development version of Minetest have a few functions that can speed up map generation by mods? I think paramat will use them when 0.4.8 stable comes out.

Okay, I'll stick to Vulcan. May I please get unbanned? Also, I don't think the later crashes were because of me. When I was back on Vulcan tending to the garden, it still crashed.

It looks like this server is having issues right now. I can't get on it.

Are you willing to stick to earth until realms is updated?

mauvebic wrote:It's not having issues :P I stayed up uber-late working on a new toy ;-)



It should be up within the next couple of hours, im just sorting out a final issue with the new feature :-)

Yes

I'll have to ask LadyMacBeth since she's the one who banned you.

If you are thinking of adding force field, I made a force field mod that uses coal. It is little slow so some modifications may be needed.

I was thinking of modifying it to make it run on pipes/lava + dilithium and making it a bubble :-)

Yes yes.
I'm a 'stable' guy so waiting for 0.4.8 before rewriting my mods to use the mind blowing lua voxel manipulator.
Your server here is very cool, i look forward to more screenshots.

Uptime is going to be iffy in the coming days, we're moving on the 1st. Though once we're moved in I should have my connection :-)
