0gb i think i have a solution for your game. Have the files check to see if the system is windows (you have implemented) and if it is windows then have the names be set like normal minetest does.

I don't think you understood the issue. Appending the digit requires all the files be always loaded in memory. But the files are not all in memory. While there are ways to make this work in Windows, until a NON-HACKY solution is available, I won't implement it.

Why does Minetest even load all the user files at once? Just to consume more memory?

I think that Minetest needs to have some database access from mods, such as allowing mods to make their own tables and stuff in the per-game database.

Sorry. I built the map a week ago, but never uploaded it because I feel like death warmed over right now. The topic photo has now been updated.

My planned bots will be deployed on this server. In addition, they will also act to collect evidence in case of rule violations.

Also, I would like to make the rules clear. (0gb.us, please correct me if I am wrong)

While there are currently no rules regarding vandalism of property (such as lava dumping), or chat spam, there is a rule regarding attempting to crash, hang, or otherwise impair the server.

Any users and/or IP addresses deemed to be attempting to crash, lag, impair, disable, or otherwise affect the server will be punished with a ban. First, there will be a cooldown period of anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes, unless this is a repeat offense or there is obvious danger to the server's operation. In that case, a ban will be instated indefinitely.

Any unban requests shall be posted on this thread, and will be serviced as such.

That sounds about right. Mind if I quote you in the first post?

Also, there seems to be a fatal flaw in the barter shop chests we use. I turned them all off for now, until I can get them to quit deleting items (it only happens in certain circumstances, but still ....).

Go ahead and quote me, but the server is down.

Edit: Now it's up.

Edit 2: And down again.

Edit 3: Never mind.

I also found a bug in the build command that unfortunately crashed the server, can you come on so I can explain the bug?

by **0gb.us** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 22:50

Bug fixed. Terminal explained the bug pretty well.

upadate stuff from minetest_game. renewable stone has been added

jojoa1997 wrote:upadate stuff from minetest_game. renewable stone has been added

It has? Oh thank goodness. I thought for sure the higher-ups would never allow this.

0gb.us_game incorporates aspects from the latest stable version of minetest_game though, so it won't be added to the server until 0.4.6, or whenever the next stable release it.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've been starting to feel a little apathetic towards minetest_game as of late, but this gives me new hope for it's development.

What do you mean by renwable stone? Like a stone generator?

In the implementation added to minetest_game, water (of any type) turns lava sources into stone and turns flowing lava into cobble. As lava is already renewable, this makes cobble renewable, and as firewood is also already renewable, this also makes stone renewable.

I am making a town in this server with BorisGrishenko. It will be open when 0gb makes a tunnel from spawn to there. If anyone wants to contribute making this town just meet me in game, quote me or PM me.

Sorry, the server has been experiencing lag issues for over a week now. I'm not sure of the cause, but it's why blocks won't appear in your inventory. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and will continue to try to get to the bottom of the lag issue.

I can't connect, and I'm not seeing it in the list anymore. Is it online?

When it disappears from the list, it usually means my ISP is being lame. I loose my connection a lot.

In other news, we have found the cause of the recent lag. When everyone there are only three people on, the lag almost completely goes away, but when we have nine to twelve people on, we get laggy again. Our recent popularity is killing us. In desperation, I'm going to try some more things with my PowerPC computer. As usual, it will probably fail, but if this succeeds, we should be able to get speeds up to normal again.
