Extreme Survival Minetest server

[maikerumine]

Maike,can you explain why you removed shift ?

Indeed.

I removed sneak to make the game harder.

[monty_oso]

NOTE: I shrink the map monthly to 1200 meters in radius and 6000 meters deep from spawn using Lag’s map unexplore script.

My house is more far from spawn than 1200 meters ¿that means i need to move?

[Fixerol]

Something very strange happened today. I logged in and my character was not where I last left him. He was on one of those teleport pads that randomly teleports you to different pads. Before I had a chance to move off, I was teleported and instantly died with the message that I was found inside a wall.

I've lost my inventory and armor, and have no clue where the bones might be or even if they were not destroyed for being in a wall.

Aha! Had the same problem on -20 1000 21 portal, but I managed to take my bone after death (was lucky)

Your house is fine! No more shrinking topside. :-)
After map shrink the server used to lag badly when exploring new areas due to mapgen.

UPDATE
20160216--
Purpellium drank now gives full health and hunger.
Crafting the expensive tools are, well, expensive! See craft guide for details. You craft a handle and add handle to the tool end.
Hunger tweaked a bit, you can eat leather if you are in a pinch.
Anvil is now decorative, you will need to manage resources now.
Added player animations: https://github.com/Rui914/playeranim

[programmingchicken]

Yay, now we have head nodding and crouch animations!
And now we don't have working anvils. Great.
Idea: Make a fake anvil made from iron bars and a real anvil which is made from compressed iron blocks, which are made from 9 iron blocks.

Aaaaack!!
No more anvil repairs? But my anvil and me were valentines. I named her Betsy and when I hit her with a hammer she would sing.

Sure - take my Betsy from me but let them pine trees continue to run amok the world over. Ya pine loving so-and-so. <grumble growse>

I think I'll make a wiki memorial to my beloved Betsy and the wonderful things she used to do to my tool. <sniffle>

[DuDraig]

I was just concerned as to why the character was on a telepot pad when I logged in and how he got teleported into a wall.

I think I've figured out the cause, if not the reason, my character appeared on a teleport pad when I logged in.

On my Android Nook HD+, I use fminetest because the standard app does not start and fminetest has better mouse control. However, since the last update, it crashes if I turn on mipmapping. I tried it again today and it still crashed. When I logged on again after disabling mipmapping, I was again on a teleport pad. This time I immediately noticed and moved off to find that, for unknown reasons, I was in jail.

This must be what happened last time. When fminetest crashed because I had mipmapping enabled, I got sent to the teleport pad in jail for some unknown reason. I still do not know why the teleport pad eventually sent me into a wall though.

I hope that helps chase some of this down.

I know eh?!

Reason it was removed was to encourage more mining and the infinite tool kinda defeats the purpose of survival IMHO. Those pesky trees... If you find other biomes there are a variety, but looking at the map, it seems there is a bit too much cold biomes in the world!

[Fixerol]

Also, will be nice to lower amount of initial food, too much food loot those days.

[monty_oso]

Can you make the server easy for noobs? It took me 3 times to get it right and thats is why i use the account monty_oso_3

• For example a second set of starting itens in a bag. And a message about the Bag after they died.
• Make the noobs bones non looteable for an hour to make they less likely to be kill.
• Remove the radioactive water from the central plaza.

[maikerumine]

Made a bit easier for noobs and lowered some of the food on start.
The colourful nodes are not able to be removed just yet, seems like an error and alias cannot remove them as well.

[Fixerol]

Two things:

1) use unexplore script only on backuped world, no point to unexplore actual server world, there will be much less lag (less map generation). Only use it on copy for archival (it will reduce size of backup).

2) new blue road to underground is nice, but... very long, suggestion, add rail (or even 2!), but make sure head is not bumping into ceiling.

[BBmine]

Idea: Make a fake anvil made from iron bars and a real anvil which is made from compressed iron blocks, which are made from 9 iron blocks.

Maybe diamond or mese blocks? Or ruby blocks?

[monty_oso]

Expensive anvil will be an unjust advantage for old players. Also with out an anvil you can give new players an armour (a cheap armour, we don't want the old players to kill the new players to lot their armour) and it will only help then for a little while.

If you can change the name of the anvil to "fake anvil" it will help prevent new player from expending their limited resources on an useless item.

[monty_oso]

I don't like that the craft guide is not free like it were.
¿Why do you have done that?

It is very bad for new players.
For me is a hassle and i bet other players think the same.

I hope that you change your mind and give us the old craft guide.

I like a lot your game and that is why i care.

[Fixerol]

There was armor issue that should be fixed soon, stay tuned.

[programmingchicken]

Downtime when crash or shutdown is unbearably long, sometimes more than 10 min
EDIT: It was a very long time, 45+ min

[maikerumine]

Craftguide deleted.
Armour fixed.
Downtime due to maintenance. it would be a lot faster if I were to delete the player folder.

But I have pros and gold on me! You could make an announcement and then wait until the weekend. Maybe by then people will empty their inventories.

Brief update:
Server has been switched over to the latest sfan build.

Spawn sanitizer does not work, working on a fix. seems minetest.after function is broken.

RND added new code: you dig or punch in protected area your tool slips into your crafting slot in inventory. NOTE: if you do this twice without first removing tool in crafting slot it will disappear. This also is when you attack player in any protected area- need to fix this.

Re-vamped spawn again, now there are better rules and how to play info at spawn proper. Please take the time to read as there is very helpful info there.

The Shop is being expanded and will offer more goods, I may need to do this offline then use WE to place so there are no interruptions. Shop will be stocked and have tools as well as armour.

Armour has been fixed, you will no longer lose armour on death, odd deaths like cactus with torch was the culprit on many losses.

Purpellium drink will heal hearts as well as hunger, use when mining for long periods. I discussed this before, I know.

City block jailer is currently sending you to jail when somebody runs in front of you while you are on your own property during death, this will be revised. I am considering opening up PVP on all areas so this eliminates the disappearing tool on punch, accidental kills. Accidental as in the jailer looks to see if you were first attacked, thus sending attacker to jail, but now with tool drop, no damage will be recorded and you will end up being first attacker.
It is tough to balance all this out and keep new players entertained without much confusion.

Sneak was re-added by multiple requests. :-) It is hard enough running from the monsters, we need every advantage we can get.

More to come including giving all new players basic armour.

[maikerumine]

SHOP has been going through a major update:





More items will be added and stocked, this will take some time.
TODO: make adjacent building a "Tutorial Building" where new players can learn some of the tricks to this server and get a better grasp of the gameplay.

[maikerumine]

20160226--
Tweaked the npc's so that they will run when asked to follow you, this keeps them close, which was intended. Also changed code to have them NOT despawn while in pursuit or attacking, for better gameplay. Now they are useful.

Did some bug fixes, changed a lot of things to local so there are no more undeclared global calls.

Added itemframes, you can now show off all your finds on your wall!

Added player animations, the head tilts now, really cool.

Server side, updated to a newer build.

Map, added a tutorial tower, where new players can learn about some of the servers interesting features.

Spawn has new rules wall as well as some helpful tips.

Shop has been updated with more items to purchase, WIP be patient.

Maike,

This server is a wreck. I just left the game because for some strange reason, as I was walking along the green road from one of my houses I had just loaded myself with goodies from, I tried to pick up a dropped rose twice but the second time I DIED, with the message that comes whenever I accidentally break something protected. So I went back to that same spot to get my bones. I tried clicking it once but nothing happened. So this time I broke it the whole way and it disappeared, but popped up again and when I tried to load some of the things into my inventory, I died. AGAIN.

Yes, I'm sure it was MY bones, it even said that the bones belonged to stoneminer, but I get the idea it was pretending I was a griefer trying to steal bones. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ESM????

That may have been caused by lag and the pink girl killing you. You may had full inventory? I will look into the logs..

EDIT:

just looked at the logs, you were killed twice by the pink girl. You should be able to get your bones. Look around, the pink girls will get you.

[stoneminer]

You're right maike, I just got back on and went to the same spot, my bones weren't there, but pink girl spawned and gave me a whopper that sent me down to spawn with my empty bones in that place.

But yeah I had all kind of goodies in my bones and now they're gone. *sniff* :'(

[Fixerol]

Today laggy again.

[maikerumine]

Today laggy again.

Hmm.. I see that.it may be people exploring new areas? Or server at max capacity. I will change the conf file to send less blocks to client, thus may help.
