Welcome to the Western Continent!

A perfect place for exploration, wildlife, wild plants, and development. Full of curious and friendly natives that are easy to slaughter so you can carve out your own paradise.

The welcome gateway is located at the crossroads of the two elevated roadways at (-666, 497).


Be sure to say "Howdy" to farmer DuDraig as you mosey on by, and then git the !@#$ off of my property you itinerant land-grubber!!

HAHA! Yes, MAJOR rework of the mobs, I will be updating the esmobs thread with all the changes.

Lovely spread! You have the biggest farm on the server, and well stocked too!!

Pigs are ridable now, as well as horses too!

But will you add those mobs but less hard and less mumberous?

Question, I see protectors are emitting some slight light, is this a default feature? Personally dislike that (too much distraction from them at night).

This is common on other Minetest servers and was originally done to make finding them easier when out in the open. Since the protection radius was 5 nodes, and not 3 as it is here, you were able to bury and hide them while still protecting a height typical for one building story: floor, ceiling, and room.

This is why I asked about the purpose of the 3 node radius earlier but I never got an answer.

Sorry about that. I cannot change now because of overlap. Most neighbor will have dig issues as new radius will block them from building.

Perhaps you could copy the protection mod and rename it and give it a slightly different item string. Then, disable the old crafting recipe or change it so that it can craft into the bigger one and vise versa. Change the new protector to something bigger.

Perhaps...

If you really want to change the protection radius, like BBmain said, you can just create a new protection node with the new radius and remove the craft recipe for the old one. The old ones are preserved while only the new ones can be created.

However, I was just wondering if there was a reason for reducing the protection radius to 3 nodes to begin with. I couldn't think of one and I was just curious.

Indeed.

Believe it or not, I did consider this a few months ago and tried, but there was a problem with the radius check between both mods, and even within itself to cause over protected gaps.
the large radius protector would check for protectors at the large radius but not the small radius, and vice versa.

I made the protectors initially small to make it a tougher world to protect.

After I finish up with my latest projects I will try to readdress this issue proper.

I don't know whether this is intentional, but TNT and Creepers are really troublesome. When they explode, the blocks that get destroyed cannot be collected as they are deleted in the explosion. This is especially frustrating when you are killed by a Creeper, as the bones that contain your items cannot be collected as they are destroyed.

Edit: Also, how do you see a map of your area like the one DuDraig posted in his Western Continent post?

FIXED!
No more destructive explosions, just damage.

UPDATE!

Added a very light version of homedecor, water dripping effect, mc like mobs, flying mobs, and other various animals such as a horse and pig you can ride.

I will be working on making a multi protector mod that will work with current protector and new 5 node radius. Wish me luck as I am not too good at this.

Also there is a new menu in your inventory, take a peek.
Added a diamond tipped arrow that has high damage, if attacking mobs you will NOT get the drops. Instead use a sword to get those bones!

Thanks! I love homedecor! :D

Major updates to make server run much faster.
If you notice improvement please tell me, also if it seems to slow tell me too!

Kindle user are encouraged to try to play, the first load takes a minute but should run smoothly.

20160120--
MORE server performance tweaks!
Deleted unused images and sounds
Merged Images to lessen the server load.
Consolidated some mods to keep simple.
Added a VERY simplified version of homedecor, trimmed all the unused code, images out to make it run better.
Re-tuned the mobs, they will spawn less frequently and burn up quicker in sunlight if they are the bad ones.
Changed some things in the conf file to make lag MUCH MUCH less.

Your efforts are valiant. I wish you the very best on your journey to low latency.

Thank you, I do my best with what I got. :-)

20160122-
CONSOLIDATION of most textures that are redundant.
Deleted more sounds from mods.
Deleted: moreblocks, lavender, farorb, jdjukebox. Made alias for those missing nodes and armour.

Added Aikerum Armour, it is nice :D
All in all chopped about 5 megs from the esm game.

TEXTURES are a WIP, please be patient until I figure out the right colour and style. I have been using colourize as a substitute texture generator for the time being.
ALSO: Modified the shutdown script, it does this 4 times daily at 0,6,12,18 hundred hours and has a one minute warning message.

Tomorrow I will squish mobs and hope for more performance gains.

Minetest is the lego for all.

I liked jdjukebox. When I got on today I was looking forward to listening to a soundtrack. :( The record or cd's (whatever they're called) were just unknown items.

Now let's stop complaining about that and start talking about good stuff. I found plenty of bone monsters and killed them. They gave me steel blocks! :D

[maikerumine]

Updated, read first post.

[Fixerol]

looks good so far

[stoneminer]

No jdjukebox? :'(

[maikerumine]

No jdjukebox? :'(

More media, more textures == harder on slower machines.
I want to make a fast-ish server with fun gameplay.

[maikerumine]

Thank you. It seems to be quite fast today for some odd reason.

My Infinium armor is no longer effective. Every monster is now able to do damage through Infinium armor where before it fended off all monsters.

I don't know if this is intended or a bug. I haven't died in a looooong time but I got swarmed before I realized the armor was no longer effective. <chuckle>
