[SOLVED] Client grey screen

by Alienant1 » Sat Dec 05, 2015 20:12

When I log on to a local server with username alienant1, the screen is grey and I have no inventory. I am not registered as logged on by the server and cannot see or influence anything. With other usernames it works fine. This started happening after the computer was restarted without warning. Restarting the server doesn't solve it. F5 shows information and yaw changes. When I try to move about, the co-ordinates change by about 0.5 each way but I can't see any blocks. The same username works on other servers. What has gone wrong?

When this happens to me, it's because I have spawned in the ground - just look 'up' and start digging.

Looks like the client is still in the connecting state.

Could you give use the verbose logs of client and server while reproducing this?

In debug.txt (client-side), I get

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
-------------
  Separator 
-------------

(some stuff was deleted here)
Irrlicht log: Creating X window...
Irrlicht log: Visual chosen: : 39
Irrlicht log: Using renderer: OpenGL 4.2.0
Irrlicht log: GeForce GT 430/PCIe/SSE2: NVIDIA Corporation
Irrlicht log: OpenGL driver version is 1.2 or better.
Irrlicht log: GLSL version: 4.2


I think that this is irrelevant but it is the most recent thing there.

I will ask for the server logs.

My Admin says there is nothing in the server logs at all when this happens.

Set debug_log_level to verbose in minetest.conf, this will generate more useful logs (on both, the server and client).

ok. The log says
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
-------------
  Separator 
-------------

(some stuff was deleted from here)
Irrlicht log: Creating X window...
Irrlicht log: Visual chosen: : 39
Irrlicht log: Using renderer: OpenGL 4.2.0
Irrlicht log: GeForce GT 430/PCIe/SSE2: NVIDIA Corporation
Irrlicht log: OpenGL driver version is 1.2 or better.
Irrlicht log: GLSL version: 4.2
Irrlicht log: Unsupported texture format
Irrlicht log: Could not open file of texture: cart.png

14:37:26: ERROR[main]: generateImage(): Creating a dummy image for "fire_basic_flame.png"


but I think that this is a record of me logging in with another username or just of the GUI starting up.

It could be a problem with the auth.txt of the server related to your username, ask the admin/owner to remove your auth.txt and check (always backup first)

This might be caused by your player file in <world>/players/<name> being empty, which can be caused by the server crashing without saving.

This can be solved by deleting the player file, in which case you will lose your inventory.
If you have a backup you can copy the file from that too.

So whatever I do I lose my inventory? Can I still access my locked chests afterwards? Are backups automatic or manual?

Backups must be done manually, Minetest doesn't make them itself.

The player file only contains your inventory and information like your health, you would still be able to access your locked chests or protections if it was deleted.
