The jungletrees may help because they may strech into the 16^3 chunk above the area with the shadow, thus forcing an update.

Many new players join and don't know how to get interact. I think the old way of granting interact as default worked better for this server, even with a lot of griefing going on. Most structures seem nice small buildings that can relatively easy be equipped with protectors.

Is there a way to produce dyes? Flowers exist; unfortionately, they refuse to be cooked :-( (uniffieddyes missing?)

Yeah, I'll probably re-add interact to default later.

I don't really care for the thirty bazillion colors of unifieddyes, but I'll add some way to craft dyes.

by **Sokomine** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 17:58

The "thirty bazillion colors" are not needed :-) The main wool colors would be great. Unifieddyes adds a nice way to produce the colors from cooking flowers and producing dye base. coloredwood and unifiedbricks might also be intresting as long as they're limited to a small amount of base colors (around 16 of each ought to be enouhg).

While we're on the subject of craft recipes, what is this server's recipe for digilines? I've seen them used on the server, but in the absence of a craft guide I am unsure of how to make them…

Removed the other protectors. Do you have any plans for the bottom part of your house? It looks sort of unfinished.

hello menche, i am back, you have reset the server?
i can have privs for build?

by **Menche** » Thu May 09, 2013 05:48

Bit of a problem, I accidentally lost the player data. All user info, inventories, locations, etc, has been lost. The actual map was backed up and nothing has been lost there. Protectors, which are part of the map, are still functioning normally, so remake your account with the same name. Sorry :(

I've added interact back to the default privs, so it doesn't have to be re-requested.

Build privs are given default again for now, see the above post. The server was sort of reset; I made a new map with the same seed and wordedited most of the spawn area in. The old map was huge and somewhat damaged.

I crashed the server by buying a mithril ore from a shop. I'm using 0.4.5, although I don't think that was the issue.

EDIT: I also managed to disable map saving... :-O

by **tinoesroho** » Sat May 18, 2013 17:26

Crashed again by placing rope... :-/

by **Menche** » Sat May 18, 2013 18:18

Been having weird problems lately. Don't use shops belonging to players who haven't been on recently, as that will crash the server. Also, for some reason, map saving is disabled (don't build anything great now).

by **hdastwb** » Sat May 18, 2013 20:31

This server doesn't appear on the public server list any more; I assumed that it was still down. Sorry to anyone who tried to buy stuff from me in the mean time…

I lost all of my MESE, but at least all of my buildings, shops, and mine are still there! I think I just found out about the bones mod the hard way…

Is there any decent craft recipe mod in existence for this version of Minetest?

by **tinoesroho** » Sun May 19, 2013 01:18

Sod that, son. I discovered bones the hard way- right after I realized my latest crash had resulted in the MAP getting rolled back, but not my co-ordinates or inventory or stats. :-( The die option is dynamite.

Can I have interact? (im wicker1)

by **hdastwb** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 17:35

What happened to this server? What happened to the teleporters mod? Why is map saving still disabled? What is going on with the mining?

Is there anything that I can do to help?

I don't see other players on the server much, probably because it isn't on the server list. It says that it announces itself, but it just doesn't show up. No idea why.
I just haven't gotten around to installing teleporters again, after I upgraded the server. I think I'll do that today.
I have no idea what the "map saving disabled" messages are about; it seems to save the map though.
I have absolutely no idea why players can't mine. It may have something to do with specialties (that mod used to have item drop, which I disabled).

In short, I think the server has lost popularity because the serverlist announcing isn't working. The server has lots of little problems that I attribute to buggy mods which I caved in to repeated requests and added without really looking at.

It seems that there still is interest and I'm out of school, so I guess I'll just have to rethink this and "do it right" this time.

EDIT: the mining is fixed so you actually get stuff you dig now, and i reinstalled teleporters.

i assumed the server was down honestly D:

I'd like to report whitemuffin. I was mining and I found a large cavern. He asked if he could come. I said No. I don't want him in there and I would kill him if he tried. So he started digging outside of my house trying to reach it. So I killed him. Then he attacked me again and again going so far as breaking into my house to do so. He even swears he will get other people to attack me.

I'm assuming his name's capitalized as WhiteMuffin; I had a bit of a run-in with him the other day where he started beating me when I said I wouldn't give him an autocrafter, but we've since struck an agreement after I forcefully disabled his sneak elevator that he would stay out of my house and mines, though he did exactly the same home invasion and repeated killing thing to me in the process. I haven't reported him since I think we've mostly worked out our differences and he's often fairly agreeable; I feel like banning him would be a bit too extreme.

Though I feel that it would help if there were some way to ban certain players from punching anyone; WhiteMuffin at least has a somewhat violent streak and questionable morals sometimes.

by **hdastwb** » Tue Jun 25, 2013 00:44

alright, this should fix our invalid shops problem:

WhiteMuffin was kicked for unprovoked PvP, protector spamming, and taunting other players.

Menche, when im on if you approve of it i can keep an eye on things and send you any reports of problems

by **carlvelleri** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 01:20

menche, someone griefed the heck out of spawn with bones no one can move

by **carlvelleri** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 01:30

menche ngand griefed spawn and made it where people are unable to play on the server because of all the stones they got mixed with bones blocked the door as well as trapping people at spawn point

by **hdastwb** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 01:47

I wonder if there is any way to apply the protection mod to buckets as well. . .

by **carlvelleri** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 03:30
