So, you'd suggest not requiring passwords, meaning an end to stable identities. It's not a measure that would be helpful. The interest is appreciated, though.

Re: OldCoder Moontest server
Diamond knight, Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you've had difficulty finding admins to speak with in Moontest. I don't presently have regular admins for most of my worlds. Most players are kids.

Re: [0.4.12][hungry_games] GunshipPenguin's Hunger Games Ser
Regarding skins, I'm using the "player_textures" mod on most of my servers presently. This mod requires more work than the "skins" mod because skins need to be added manually, but it allows players to use any 64x32 skin that they wish; and I might add an upload feature to simpli...

In general, the fork seems to work pretty well and I'd encourage more people to try it. I think there's room for more organized battle...

Re: [0.4.12][hungry_games] GunshipPenguin's Hunger Games Ser
@OldCoder: If you could somehow fix the “teleport to (0,0,0) bug”, that would be great. It is one of the most annoying bugs. 1. Are you referring to a bug where people sometimes spawn initially at 0,0,0 ? If so, the following patch fixes it for me: --- hungry_games.old/engine.lua +++ hungry_games/e...

Re: OldCoder Hungry Games
For programmingchicken: 1. I don't recommend that you try to build a new Hungry Games map until you're familiar with how the mod works. It's a lot simpler to use the standard map for the mod. 2. The standard map was hosted on Ubuntu One, but that copy is dead now. You can get your own copy of the f...
