You appear to be having a mismatched minetest_game with your minetest. Update it.

Remove the inventory_image field.

You can't sleep that way in callback-driven systems like Minetest's API. The server is "stopped" always when called code is running. To put it simply, the called code is just part of a big loop in the server that handles many things. Instead of what you have now, you can for example make a chain of ...

I rewrote the minetestmapper.py tool to C++.

As this thread was raised from the dead, i might as well comment a bit.

The protocol is not well documented, but you can find doc/protocol.txt in the source (which might contain some errors, not sure) and there is also a (slightly out-of-date) wireshark dissector in there.

I'll comment on a few things here, as I happened to look at this thread. First of all, it is inherent to making anything new that somebody will copy it and try to make it suit their needs. Not properly giving credit is a problem, copying something is not. ive objected to the system we use to publish...

Minetest is bad for "normal" gamers because content is spread around in separate mods, and I have only recently, slowly and barely started to include more actual content in it. I am not sure how the general gamers would receive a huge number of games; I rather try to make minetest_game a game which ...

It's not merged; the thing I added is a different thing. But it is used for somewhat similar purposes.

Could this be a case of your computer having bad OpenGL support?

Try adding

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: video_driver = direct3d9

to minetest.conf.

0.3.1 has that in as default, and in turn it makes it run badly on some other computers. 8)

Hello there; I have been (and will be) focusing on other projects (for months, or so). However, I'm hanging around managing and keeping an eye on stuff. A few people are doing a bit of core development, most notably darkrose ( https://github.com/darkrose/minetest/ ). I also made a small source commi...

Self-quote from blog: We want to see how Minetest performs as a mini-MMO platform. We set up a server solely for the purpose of stress-testing the latest version of the vanilla Minetest server. We need as many players as we can get. We’re aiming to reach 100 during the next few days. Call all your f...

Oh, lol.

I added it as an issue on github (which you could've done too): https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/issues/121

You could just make it trigger periodically. Eg. a recursive minetest.after() or minetest.register_globalstep() and implement a counter to check it every 5 seconds or so.

I need to add a minetest.register_interval() or something...

This section/forum/whatever contains mods that do not work on AND will probably not be updated in the near future (say, 10 days) for the latest stable Minetest version. Mods are moved into here from Mod Releases by moderators, when the above condition is met. The version in which the mod works, if k...

That debug.txt looks perfectly normal. You could try setting a different graphics backend (video_driver; http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Configuration_File)

Look at the default/init.lua code.

Have you ran any versions of Minetest on that computer before?

I just finished updating minetestmapper.py for the current map format. It could still use some extra command line parameters and stuff - but it does work fairly reliably.

I also added after_destruct, because adding it is very cheap and the point of the modding API is to not cause unnecessary burden on doing things.

https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/3a0562bebcb91d05fceb5a1f9ded539f77a625e4

I've already updated the mesecons mod to use after_*_node functions, but the on_destruct functions will not work for this case because mesecons expects the node to have alredy been removed by the time the mesecons:receptor_off(pos) function is called. Additionally, this would create huge slowdowns ...

place_node, dig_node and punch_node:

https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/c3658e7c797cbf5b9d04a6d950505d37dcdd422b

Please check out and tell if there are problems. These will be included in a development snapshot in a day or two.

Currently, the Mesecons mod has pistons, but they don't properly update things like any other mesecon component. I'd like to see an addition to the Lua API that would allow us to simulate player digging/placing, so we can do things like improve pistons so they can properly push conductive stuff lik...

The problem is that you have a file called "depends" in it, instead of "depends.txt". Thus, sometimes the default mod doesn't get loaded before it.

What are you going to do with such an ABM?

Do you realize having a chance higher than, say, 1/1000 (to only randomly affect one out of a thousand nodes) will completely screw the functioning of the server by overloading it insanely?

example of this is going into Creative mode and fly below the ground and you will see caves that are not connected to the surface. Minetest already does this using occlusion culling for chunks (MapBlocks). It gets shut off when you go inside ground, because not very much would be drawn there otherw...

The forums were down because the host machines were moved somewhat unexpectly to an another data center, which caused problems and delayed fixing of them. On the upside, in the process the hacky platform the site was running on was converted to a more robust one. There shouldn't be more downtime any...

Just thought this would be useful for many: You can lower the server CPU and bandwidth usage a lot by fiddling around with the configuration. I used these settings on the c55.me server, until I shut it down when I got fed up with griefing: max_block_send_distance = 6 max_simultaneous_block_sends_per...

With the new versions of minetest the "inventory_get_list" and "inventory_set_list" don't works. There are some similar solutions? 'Cause i'm trying to do a mod and i need to use inventory_get_list and inventory_set_list T____T Sorry for my language mistakes >_<. You get an inventory (type InvRef, ...

The wiki is broken currently; it's so broken I can't even add a notice about the brokenness in there, and I can't currently do anything to it.

After all, there ARE pros in hosting stuff myself... which I don't currently do for minetest.net. 8)
