FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Ok, for the first problem...

1. I have a large(ish) sky land built in my 0.3.1 single player server, hence why I still use it. Anyways, I was adding on to it and i was suddenly disconnected (I was NOT timed out). When I tried to go back on it said (exact quote) "Some exception, what ()="ServerEnvironment::loadMetal():EnvArgsEnd not found"". Wtf??

Now for the 0.4 Problem.

I installed Minetest 0.4.1 not long ago. When I tried to open it it said "This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I didn't even get on once. I uninstalled then reinstalled three times after that. WTF?!? I CAN'T EVEN PLAY IT???

Please tell me how to fix these two problems, or go into the coding and fix them.

If the age of my commputer is of any consequence, it is 10 years old and was built from scrap parts by a local computer whiz. It runs Windows XP.

The DLL issue is a common problem among some Windows applications, including the Windows build of Minetest. See this link for a possible solution:

You'll probably want the first download link given in the answer therein ("Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package for (X86)")

Thanks. Not sure my computer has room lol

For the 0.3.1 problem just add this to the env_meta.txt in your world folder"



Not sure about the 0.4.1

Thanks.

Now it is saying "Some exception, what ()="Player::deSerialize(): PlayerArgsEnd not found""

I guess that the map data somehow got wiped. Idk how, but it did :(

Damn. I just don't want to delete my sky land. If I could save that it wouldn't matter if I uninstalled then reinstalled the game.

Screw it. I'll rebuild. I wanted to make it higher up anyways :(

With the player problem just delete the file in the players folder.

i been playing on Mrtux server and everything is fine just the occasonal item lag but when i play on single player mode i get lag like theres no tomorrow and im on 4.1 also i tried to test out mods on 4.1 single player and soloing multiplayer but i didnt see anything that was close to them and i put them in the right folder

Should be fun opening all six player files...
(I have several friends that play on my single player server too.)

No just delete them all. Then start a new player.

Guess I better be glad I didn't use any locked chests... :D
