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.

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)

Where do I find the auth.txt?

Posted: **Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:19**

+ "long text"

Auth.txt is an important file that contains private information, do not share any section of this file.

To locate this file you need to go to your minetest folder, then the worlds folder, and open the folder with the name of the world that you are using in the server (minetest>worlds>yourserverworld)

After finding auth.txt, please back up the file, so you can retry if you mess up.

Then inside this file you will see someting like this:

you need to locate the place where your username is displayed (in the example "YOU"), then delete that section without manipulating any other player data, only yours. It starts at your username and ends when other username is displayed; it will look like this (without "YOU", as you can see):

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

This will also remove all your privs, so you will have to come back after login in again to add the missing privs to you player

I'm not 100% sure if this will work, I'm not an actual coder.

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?

Posted: **Tue Dec 08, 2015 17:20**

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.

Posted: **Tue Dec 08, 2015 17:22**

can I add stuff to a new one to get some of my inventory back?

Posted: **Tue Dec 08, 2015 17:48**

Yes, you can use /giveme too if you have the privileges.
