Things needed-
Minetest ver.0.4 - ver.0.3
Load a map in ver 3 then copy world file over.
Posted this already but it seems to have run off;D

Iron is very rare <- A Bug
If you search for a long time you can find it

The Itemdef changes (january 22nd, latest snapshot) seem to have fixed this bug, no?
Also, only the chunks generated in 0.3 will contain the proper amount of iron, not newly generated ones.

No man I searched literally for days. This is what worked for me. Instantly started spawning iron where I loaded up it was fantastic.

I said it doesn't count as a solution because the bug still has to be fixed, but yes, it works...

I just created a new world on latest minetest and after over 3000 blocks dug, I found in total about 16 lumps of iron. Found over 30 mese. The "bug" still hasn't been fixed.

The bug is not being able to find iron at all.

This is just how I do it. And it works makes just a little less rare.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
/*
            Add iron
        */
        u16 iron_amount = 8;

Here is the code in server.cpp (search for 'Add iron'). Just change the 8 to a bigger number and start a new world.
Edit: Opps, that is supposed to be mapgen.cpp not server.cpp

Sorry - new guy here.

Where is server.cpp located?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10

Is the same hack poissible for MESE?

Sorry - used to Ubuntu forum, where beginner questions (even stupid ones) are welcome and accepted. So i'm sorry that i have had this bad habit since 2006, where i startede helping out on Denmark LOCO teams page.

If you noticed - my question were about finding the server.cpp file, so i could hack it - and in the same time make mese more common in new worlds by default.

I havn't seen any guides in the wiki that explains how to find/hack the server.cpp file - so i tried asking all the experienced users. I didn't ask how to apply cheat codes directly (actually knew that).

Sorry for having this way of thinking.





So if *facepalms* is the standard answer to new people - then the best of luck with it.

hello, i am sorry for DD's rudeness, you will find server.cpp in minetest-src-server.cpp

@jordan4ibanez

Thanks for the answer. But i'm still having trouble locating the file. - or is it a file that i myself have to make.

I've located the program files to /usr/share/minetest, but there aren't any *.cpp files anywhere. And neither in the hidden /home/*user*/.mintetest directory.

Do i have to get the sourcecode to do it - or is there something i just have missed?

btw. as a 41 year old man i've been around the internet for a lot of years, so i have experiencenced worse than this - but i just had to retort gg

AND btw - running daily builds from the developer ppa

you're using the normal game...you need to get the source code

thats my bad i skimmed through this fast and only saw hack possible for mese? im sure th ore generation code would work with mese. Jordan4ibanez is nothing but a big bitch trying to badmouth me every chance he gets. but i dont care i misinterpreted what you said it happens and I will say sorry:D because like i said i "accidentally misinterprited " what you said.

I think everyone defends themselves, of course, it is human behaviour.

(I like to think much like another species rather than human, I seem to get things better.)

I don't know if this works but it is more iron ore without hacking the server.cpp

Sorry I had the wrong file it is supposed to be mapgen.cpp not server.cpp.
And yes you must compile the source code to affect this change and make a new map.

You can also just add this to the default/init.lua file if you don't want to mess with the source code. It will add a little more iron around natural iron.
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
minetest.register_on_generated(
function(minp, maxp)
    max_add = 200
    for x = minp.x,maxp.x do
    for y = minp.y,maxp.y do
    for z = minp.z,maxp.z do
        pos = {x=x, y=y, z=z}
        if minetest.env:get_node(pos).name == "default:stone_with_iron" then
            max_check = 5
            while max_check do
                pos_i = {x=pos.x + math.random(-1, 1), y=pos.y + math.random(-1, 1), z=pos.z + math.random(-1, 1)}
                if minetest.env:get_node(pos_i).name == "default:stone" then
                    minetest.env:set_node(pos_i, {name="default:stone_with_iron"})
                    max_add = max_add - 1
                    break
                end
                max_check = max_check - 1
            end
        end
       
        if max_add == 0 then
            return
        end
    end
    end
    end
   
end)


Also you can change it so that you get more than 1 iron_lump from digging an iron ore node by changing
drop = 'default:iron_lump 2'
to
drop = 'default:iron_lump 2'
in the default/init.lua file
