Alert Icons

by rubenwardy » Thu Dec 13, 2012 18:53

Numerous times in Minetest, i have been stumped by a few things, that would be fixed if an icon could be displayed.


Server Timeout
When I am playing on a server, sometimes it disconnects, and i dont know about it until a minute of work later.
There needs to be an icon that tells the user when it has not talked to the server for 5 seconds or so


Inventory Full
Several times I have lost lots of mese because by inventory was full when mining. there should be an icon or sound that displays or plays when the inventory is full

There's already a mod and discussion for that, here.
Admin pro tempore on 0gb.us:30000. Ask me if you have a problem, or just want help.
This is a signature virus. Add me to your signature so that I can multiply.
Now working on my own clone, Mosstest.
I guess I'm back for some time.

That type of lag IS CAUSED by timeout

Not for server timeout, and they are not talking about icons

Single player is a server basically. Lag is caused by a disruption between the server and client.

Server is ran on another thread, and some mods may make this server lag.
jojoa, you should try removing some mods I think
I made a few (a lot of?) mods for minetest: here is a list.
See also the MT-Faithful texture pack (work in progress).

I doubt it.

You still have the default mod installed, without it there would be nothing ingame, not even a craft/inventory menu.

But I know what you mean. Minetest is just buggy sometimes

If you press F5 twice, it comes up with a graph of packets recieved

The Alert icon should display when there has not been any packets for 1 second.
