This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org
If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Hallo allezusammen, ich wollte an dieser Stelle nur mitteilen, dass minihippie momentan den Server leitet, vielen Dank dafür übrigens! Ich selbst bin immer noch im Hintergrund natürlich zur Stelle, kümmere mich momentan aber nur um das Installieren von Mods und die eigentliche Administration des Ser...
l could make flowing water at the borders of a protected area become ice nodes, which dont make shadows of course. l would do it in a chess pattern to that the liquid doesn't spread. And flowing lava would become stone. I don't know. Someone could still spill water on non-protected areas and it wou...
I had to disable water and lava buckets because some players abused their functionality. Unfortunately there is no easy way to prevent players from spilling water over buildings, even protected areas can be drowned this way. As long as no better protection exists against this form of griefing, I hav...
I have installed "areas" on this server for protection. https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7239 I haven't experienced any lags on this server so far but I am currently investigating why the server has been showing relatively high "max_lag" values for three days now. It's...
Also, I'm operating a server based on Debian Jessie, with systemd. I've added the following directives to the unit file to help lock down the minetest server: ($USER should be replaced accordingly) User=$USER WorkingDirectory=/home/$USER # MT Has a signal handler for SIGINT KillSignal=SIGINT # Lock...
A lot depends on the file system. You can backup your server without shutting it down, if you use a file system like btrfs. It enables you to create snapshots of your filesystem while your Minestest server is still online.
Hi all, I'm running a dedicated server and I noticed a strange error with Minetest's rollback feature. Since I switched to 0.4.11 the file rollback.sqlite grows in size although enable_rollback_recording is set to false in minetest.conf. This issue only exists with 0.4.11 but not with 0.4.10. Any id...
Just gave the server a try, and a quick suggestion would be a spawn point and teleport priv to players, in case they get lost. Thanks for the feedback. I have now enabled a new /spawn command which will bring every player back to the spawn point. In addition all players have the /home and /sethome ...
Hi, first of all many thanks for your extensive reply. That's good! But what's mainly needed is the game as such. Singleplayer is fine, but not everyone needs to run a server :-) The cat image might be broken. Best ask on IRC about it. I just saw a thread about the broken wiki registration. I will a...
Hallo alle zusammen, ich bin der Serveradmin des Yggdrasil-Servers und wollte auch noch mal hier im deutschen Unterforum den Server kurz vorstellen. Der Minetest-Server ist Teil meines Linuxprojektes linuxiuvat.de . Das gesamte Projekt nutzt nur Freie Software, die auch bei Debian GNU/Linux so angeb...
Your moss and grass mod are now running on the server. I would suggest that you change the print line in init.lua and use minetest.log instead. This way it would be possible to reduce the verbosity of logging messages when the log level is changed to ERROR or even to none.
l just made a mod for controlling the server without joining it. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10809 That's an interesting mod. Thanks! I will have a look at all those server methods and give it a try myself. I'm mostly interested in: ⋅ granting players certain privileges while not being onlin...
Thanks for your list. It contains some mods like grass, moss, special_pick and trashcan that are certainly a nice addition to the default game. I will consider them. Do you know of any good admin/server mods for controlling the server? The rulesacc mod was interesting. I guess I could use that as a ...
You could add pioneer (http://pioneerspacesim.net) to http://linuxiuvat.de/ Thanks for the suggestion. It looks promising. However nobody has created a Debian package for it yet and that's a precondition for including it on linuxiuvat.de. Edit: please add rare but well made mods to your server Some...
Hi ExeterDad, thanks for the warm welcome! I guess I can share the info about the new minetest-server features here too. The new package is available in Debian Sid: minetest-server It should be no problem to install this one on Jessie too, a backport wouldn't be necessary. Here is the snippet that I...
Hi everyone, a month ago I created this public PvE server as part of my project http://linuxiuvat.de with whom I aim to promote free software games and Debian GNU/Linux. I'm a member of the Debian Games Team and I have recently made a contribution to Debian's minetest package by adding support for s...
