I'm trying to piece together why certain mobs and crops are not generating in my server. I've been trying to follow the API guides to tweak items for troubleshooting, so far to no avail.
For example, I have maikerumine's esmobs which correctly spawns bad players and animals such as esmobs:pumba - but I don't think it's ever spawning horses.... in a bid to force them to spawn in general areas I have changed their nodes to also spawn on dirt_with_grass, dirt_with_snow and snow. The chance of horse3 is set at the default 17000 and the pumba is with a chance of 18000 (which should be rarer?) but still not a sighting of a horse.
Checking the logs in /var/log/minetest/minetest.log (it's a minetest-server 0.4.13 build from PPA), I see no mention of horses. That said, I have set my minetest.conf log level to 4 but it still seems like it's a 2 ? Is the log level affecting some other logging?
As for the crops, I can give myself any of the farming items (tenplus1's farming:redone mod) like rhubarb and potato and plant, grow and harvest them; but I never see any of the crops out in the wild...
I am wondering perhaps if something is interfering with their spawning? Certainly I am not seeing in the logs any failed attempt at spawning either the horses nor the crops - is there a way to get ABM activity in the logs (... I am hoping this won't be overwhelming...?)
So my questions specifically would be:
1. are there any known mod incompatibilities for these mods (mods that override eachother)?
2. Am I looking in the right place for the logs? (I am configuring /etc/minetest/minetest.conf and monitoring /var/log/minetest/minetest.log)
3. Is there a way to get a log of the spawn/ABM activity on a specific set of node types? (an entry in the log when a spawn is successful)
Thanks
