You explored too much or something and maxed out the map size. You can back into the world and be fine... But be warned, it will continue to grow, and could reach 1GB if you keep doing what you are doing pretty quickly.

Farming is the same as default farming, seeds can be found on wild plants.
Plants spawn randomly in grass across the world, brambles of mordor spawns in desert
Friendly mobs spawn on grass/ leaves/ stone (e.g. rohan /gondor guard, elf, ent, dwarf, hobbit) Unfriendly mobs spawn in desert (e.g. uruk-hai, orc, half-troll(sunlight kills it), battle-troll), some underground in stone (troll (sunlight kills it), dead men (not killable, is only damaged by sunlight), witch-king (boss, hp=50), balrog (boss, hp=100), nazgul (mini-boss, hp=25)), and dunlending is the only unfriendly mob to spawn in grass.
Couple of new ores and uncraftable stuff like tilkal (unbreakable material)
Introduction of trees, sapling available via creative, i do not wish to randomly spawn the trees until i can find a suitable mapgen to generate them on (need help on this), so they will only be available via creative.
Help Needed for these stuff:

+ Spoiler
Models (Ent, Balrog, Horse, Warg and couple more)
Mob Behavior(Attacks only particular mobs)
Rideable mobs
Map generation(With specific biomes)

Note that i may take a few days to reply to a comment as i am rather busy with school-life, but feel free to tell me any bugs or suggestion.
Edit: Thanks for the encouragement fessmK, sry didn't saw that until three months later :P.
Edit 2: Forgotten to say mushrooms only grow on decaying wood and only in dark places.

Narzgul should be super bosses. Not mini bosses.(or do you mean their steeds?)
And the witch-king is the lord of the narzgul.
(Sorry, but I am a lotr (book)addict)
Edit: you could also make a gollum to follow the player.(yes precious...), and a smeagol who acts as say a compass or guide (smeagol's good, brings nice stuff for nice hobitses)

Edit2: sorry if this is an old idea, but I am too lazy to look through all 11 pages of the thingy (thingy is a nice, flexible word. I like it.:-) )

Must have Miruvor potion 1, 2 and 3 lvl the same time or not? I ask because in /lottpotion/init.lua it have different time but in game it have the identical time.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: lottpotion.register_potion("miruvor", "Miruvor", "lottpotion:miruvor", 240, { effect = "phys_override", types = { { type = 1, set = {}, time = 60, effects = { jump = 0.3, }, }, { type = 2, set = {}, time = 120, effects = { jump = 0.6, }, }, { type = 3, set = {}, time = 240, effects = { jump = 1.0, }, }, } })

Thank you Amaz I will look into it! ill update you when I can test,

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2016 18:56**

still getting same error,

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2016 21:32**

It seems as if its a different error now, so at least we're making a little bit of progress...!

It seems as if this is an error related to mod security, which was enabled by default a couple of weeks or so ago... I'll see if I can fix it (I'm not sure whether it is something I can fix, or if it's related to this issue: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4692)
To fix it for now, go to the settings tab, click on advanced settings, then Server/Singleplayer, the scroll down a bit to Security, and then double click on Enable Mod Security to disable that setting. (Or you can just add secure.enable_security = false to minetest.conf )

Sorry for all of your trouble!

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2016 23:28**

I will look into it tonight no problem, on the contrary thank you to take the time to help me!

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2016 00:04**

Its working now thank you for the help!

Posted: **Fri Nov 04, 2016 09:34**

No problem, I'm glad that it's working now!

Potion effect still work after death, effects of the same potion are summarizes http://github.com/minetest-LOTR/Lord-of ... /issues/78

This is one of the best subgames for Minetest so far. Sadly, it still has some important bugs but it is already very enjoyable. But it very well shows off what Minetest is already capable of.
Maybe I will write a full review later.
Just one thought: I would like to see more rings. :-)

I'm having the exact same problem, and I'm not sure which build to use. I tried downloading one of them, but it gave me the same error. Could you recommend a build that is known to work?

If your computer is 64bit, I would suggest using this one: https://minetest.kitsunemimi.pw/builds/ ... 5-win64.7z
If your computer is 32bit, or you don't know whether it's 32 or 64 bit, use this one: https://minetest.kitsunemimi.pw/builds/ ... 5-win32.7z

One of those should hopefully work!

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2016 19:54**

The build works, thank you!

This happens in both Minetest and Freeminer when I try to create a new world while using this subgame.

Yeah, I don't like mod security either (it was the cause of this crash.)

Posted: **Wed Nov 30, 2016 09:57**

That error isn't something which I can fix. It's an issue with Minetest, not LOTT... The only way around it is turning off mod security.
An issue has been opened on github, and it's marked as a blocker, so it should be fixed soon... https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4692

While this commit doesn't add any new rings, it does change the crafting of the existing rings very considerably, so I thought you might be interested! https://github.com/minetest-LOTR/Lord-o ... 397569b24c

Epic screenshot, @inocudom!

Posted: **Thu Dec 22, 2016 18:31**

Playtested this one (after disabling the mod security setting on a recent win32 build from Krock, as the subgame would just crash with it enabled) a bit and enjoyed the change of scenery in the game when moving from biome to biome, liked how those castles and other buildings improve the landscape, making exploration actually fun.

The NPC faction system is really great for the atmosphere, after witnessing in one of my world, at the frontier of Mordor and Lorien, a couple of warriors of opposite side fighting each other.

Many of those little touches that makes LOTT one of the best Minetest subgame i played so far.
Though i wasn't fan of losing the crafting book on respawn after my wounded character accidentally fell to his death very far (as i was exploring) from spawn point.

As several NPC mention the coming war, is there plans to have skirmishes to actually happen (i mean not by luck when 2 NPC wander near a frontier) between factions ? Could generate additional point of interest when exploring and running into one of those.

After over a year without a release, here is a new release for Christmas!
It contains many new features, here is a partial changelog:

A total rework of ring crafting
Two new buildings, which spawn underground in the Lorien and Iron Hills biomes
3d signs, ladders and torches
Palantiri, which allow teleporting
A new, ridable warg
Many bug fixes!

For a full changelog, head over to the wiki!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone from all three of us in the Lord of the Test team!

Many thanks to all who contributed to this release, with models, textures, code, bug reports and suggestions!

N.B. This release requires Minetest 0.4.15, released on 2016/12/22

Posted: **Fri Jan 13, 2017 18:14**

I dont know if i am in the right post but I am new in LOTT/minetest

Thank you all for this wonderful game/sub-game.

My question is:

I have a 'Drinking glass (empty)' a 'Bucket' with water, a 'Brewer' and a 'Potion Brewer'

How can I fill the glass with water ?

Posted: **Sun Feb 12, 2017 11:08**

Well apparently this dwarf thought he is an elf or something oO

The dwarf houses have lots of ores in their chests, which is really nice (its more profitable to loot their houses than to mine oO).
