Update: Added item_frames mod.

by **VanessaE** » Sun Aug 25, 2013 22:28

Update: fire mod has been added back in, but burning is disabled per the server's config. In case some mod needs the flame image maybe.

Update: Titanium mod's tools are way-overpowered. I've reduced it to 1/10 its default values, but it's still way more durable than even diamond (roughly 5x) or mese (roughly 8x).

Update: disabled camo modpack's NPCs - they're laggy and they keep duplicating themselves.

by **VanessaE** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 16:48

Added Mossmanikin's memorandum and bas080's inbox mods.

I cannot get on your server, every time I try I get this error message.

"a serialization error occurred:
unsupported contentfeatures version

This server is probably running a different version of minetest"

I have tried minetest 4.7, 4.6, and 4.5, please help

You need to use the latest development version from either Fess, PilzAdam, BlockMen, or sfan5.

From the first post,

"This server uses the Minetest git repository, running under Debian 'Sid' (v7, AMD64 build). This server requires a build no older than July 22 (git commit ID 46d1d70e) or you will not be able to connect. 0.4.7-stable will NOT work. "

VanessaE, you're my idol. \o/ Thank you very much for this. :-)

I went there and everything is ok. Just started my new house.

Passwords/privs, ban lists, skins, etc. have been coped from the Creative server so that existing Creative players can sign on and start playing right away -- except no one but me has fly privilege since this is a survival server. Player inventories of course have not been copied except in a couple of cases. Only the spawn is currently owned (by me) since, well...it's up to you folks to build stuff that should be protected! :-)

Is there any mod for protection? How it works?

Both servers are up and ready for normal use.

What do you think to create a separate topic for the new server, VanessaE? So we can treat problems from each one separately.

I can't use the previous versions to connect cause it won't let me.

Do NOT keep quoting huge posts like. Please. Thankyou.

hampa16: sure, sign onto the server once first and remind me.

"No older than" means it must be newer - as in your build must be dated July 22 or later. Basically, just get the latest git build you can find that's compatible with your OS.

Sorry for the downtime today - Had to run /clearobjects and it just took a while to finish. All users, please sign on, find any pedestals or item frames that belong to you that don't show an item any more, and punch them or dig and re-place them as needed. Please also punch any signs that aren't showing the text. Thank you.

Hi Vannessa,

Can you add my skin to the creative and survival servers for me please?
it's here.

ps let me know if it anti-aliases after being pasted here, and I'll try sending you a direct download link.

by **VanessaE** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 05:08

Skin installed for Misty (it looks fine to me).

what version of minetest are you using?

by **VanessaE** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 21:31

Pheonix: fixed. Sorry about that - it was due to an error caused by a bug in a "sync all accounts" script I wrote (which is also fixed now).

by **pheonixfire** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 10:07

Vanessa, could I have a block put in orbit near my spaceport?

any help is appreciated

Since no one plays on this server much anymore, I propose merging its map with that of my Survival server (https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7017). The Survival server's map will remain at the center of the world, while this map will be positioned such that the Creative map's spawn building is approximately 6.6 km west-southwest of the Survival's spawn.

[combined-maps image deleted since we're not gonna actually do this]

No structures will be lost or damaged on either map.

The following changes will occur:
* Player inventories from this server will be emptied out.
* All player accounts on this server will be transferred to the Survival server.
* All players' privileges will be reset to the defaults found on the Survival server.

* Travelnet and areas mod protection data will be offset to follow the repositioning of the Creative map, but I can't guarantee I'll get this right. If someone can write a script that will do this, I'd appreciate it.

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions, but I'm leaning pretty heavily toward merging the maps. Answer the poll in the first post if you like (only "yes", "no" or "undecided" only - do not use the first three options), but please leave your opinions on the SURVIVAL server's thread, not this one.

by **Michael Eh?** » Thu Sep 26, 2013 02:29

The real problem of this is the map gets really difficult to trasverse. I could see a travelnet between spawns (Old creative and new survival) However having mob hell loose on creative side is problematic. Like under chessboard where I built over desert sand, it would become horde or snad mobs in a confine space with several corridors. I would have to flood the place to clear them out then drown trying. So I've removed all the desert sand to save the headache later. Now i'm forced to finish what I put off for under chessboard which will take time.

I had one suggestion that either people can pay to have their stuff moved to survival or have a dual world under one server with portal between both.

As of now, I'm mob proofing my constructs on creative. The Centre Road Project is on hold but I've added some telnet boxes so I'm not spending so much time walking between sites. I've also decide for large patches of water I'm not building a bridge but having a telnet boxes to bridge the gaps over large bodies of water. Each bridge will be it's own network.

I've decided it is best to NOT merge the two servers. It occurred to me today that the two are simply too different in nature to merge them.
