Xanadu Server

[Hybrid Dog]

you could cache the protector node positions

you need to add them when they are loaded first and add / remove them if the node is added / removed
then you can use a function looking big but working fast to search for protectors
the set, remove and get functions are from vector_extras
you can e.g. set the name and range in a table to a specific position, you can store the range and name in meta, put them from there into the cache table when caching it and change the big function to test the range and player
but if you use the names as index, you can skip the protection blocks of the player when searching
you should set a maximum range because protecting only works if the node has been loaded yet after the server start

i have no idea what this means, but it sounds great :P
(was this tested already or is it just a theory?
i imagine the "skip checking your own protectors" thing to be very handy for building.)

but not for long ...
we just need a cupcake and a cloning machine. i guess you know how this works =(^.^)=
:P

I was aware of LBMs, on_construct and on_destruct, but what about removing the protectors from the cache/octree when the mapblock is unloaded?

[Kilarin]

would it be good to move this discussion to the protector thread?
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9376&start=100

[Hybrid Dog]

auouymous, removing it when the chunk gets unloaded might add a security risk
l tried to write the code:
https://gist.github.com/HybridDog/e1145141ca4b1c012a87

idk if moving the discussion to that thread is good, protector changes have a direct impact on players and they are the ones who have the most experience with using them

YOU CHOOSE THE WORLD SEED:

Grab your Minetest with Ethereal installed and active and submit your requests for the new seed on Xanadu when the server is reset :)

[Kilarin]

but you are going to be using 4.14 with the new mapgen, right?

[TenPlus1]

The new mapgen blends biomes that little bit better although the general biome layout and caves are still seed specific... Test on latest 0.4.13 daily build to make sure it looks same though :)

[firefox]

i will try my best, nya~

also is there a specific date for the map change?
on the last day of the old map i want to throw all my gold and gems into the spawn to make everyone happy
and then troll them when everything gets reset :P

[Hybrid Dog]

seed 0

[firefox]

i tried some seeds and here are the results:
(i teleported to 0,0,0 and explored the surroundings)

TenPlus1
similar to noob area

Shinji_Ikari
green mountain in the middle of the dry lands

bonny
ocean surrounded by bizarre mountain islands

IceAgeComing
big ocean with desert on one side and pine forests at the other side

Red_Fox
big mountain island, made of desert stone and snowy biomes, green land further away

Phiwari123
mostly scorched plains and savanna, mushrooms and green stuff on a high mountain

iska
similar to bonny but with less islands

nya~ =(^.^)=
funny terrain with high cliffs and plateaus, but mostly dry biomes with very few green stuff

Kelena
totally messed up mounatin made of clay and snow and full of deadly pitfalls
(sorry Kel-chan ... =(-.-)= )


the bonny map has the most biome diversity of this selection.

...

seems you missed Xanadu and Minetest as seeds ;-P

[myster]

What would the optimal map be? We can be searching for it. Something similar to the current map? Or, would spawn be better on top of a mountain?

Its time to look back to past 2 years of fun.
Here are some screenshots of projects i was part in, that i had most fun with:

Ship for Phis birthday:


Suburban town (never managed to finish)


Old Town


Castle, that we copied from MC map, but it was still ton of fun


Spawn 2

[jerrythecairn]

i'm sooo depressed. i just finished a redwood road about 2000 units long and it's all gone

[jp]

I just visited briefly the new world. Nice spawn.

What was the reason to stick with the same list of mods that you used for years ? (I'm particularly thinking about decorations).

Good luck for the future.

[TenPlus1]

The same set work but have been greatly optimized for 0.4.14 when it comes out :)

[IceAgeComing]

I have been insane luck when it comes to nyan cats!

Heres nyan cat i found on first day on server:


Here's nyan cat i found second day on server:

[sofar]

A serialization error occured:
unsupported NodeBox version
The server is probably running a different version of Minetest.
(i also tried latest pc compile from krock 3 days ago, but no)

edit: downgrading back to original 0.4.13 fixed :/

This happens if you're running a -git release that's somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks old. Please either revert to 0.4.13, or try a really, really new git build. The server may also be at problem here, and should either be reverted or updated as well.

neri-chan has the ability to separate her body and mind to possess animals, didn't you know? :P
she always uses that skill to safely move around and explore while at the same time staying hidden in the Elven Village. yesterday she visited me as a sheep =(^.^)=

Wow she found an Elven Village already?!

[firefox]

Wow she found an Elven Village already?!

no idea, i only know that she lives there.
and isn't it not her who finds the village, but the village which finds the way on our map?
elves are mysterious ... =(0.0)=

also, if you look at neri's building style, you'll see that she doesn't build her buildings into the nature like others do, but that her buildings sprout naturally from nature, like plants.
i haven't seen how she does it, but i guess she has a special set of seeds and saplings that grow into houses and roads :P

These are very nice. I wonder how you design them.
If you guys like to design and build why not read about architecture.
