Taken care of in a few mins.
I will run some tests, my internet cannot perform.

Running as service may be best option i think. Services have some "Recovery" options, so no need to write your own script.

No asking for free things.

They ask me all the time :(, looks like I need taller fences :D And even more barbed wire.

Is it only me or this rifle sound too loud? It is really loud in my headphones, on full volume you can almost crap yourself :)

Thanks for the input. I don't personally think it too loud maybe I can pull up audacity and lower db by 10.
Crashing.
The server is sad it crashes so much. Need to stabilize before release of game. Maybe too many writes to disk? Server always full. Always.

there is two rifle sounds, I believe army one is ok, and there is some quakeIII kinda sound that is super loud.

[Fixerol]

Will you ever make server autorestart? :D Will never finish my construction.

[maikerumine]

Server down for ISP maintenance.
Will be up in a few hours folks, sorry for the inconvenience.

I am hoping the increased bandwidth fixes the server lag and crashes, if this works we will resume operation and the motd shall be updated too.

Fixer, I am trying to make a auto reset for some reason the program doesn't detect crash.

Hm, I wanted to try the server out, but do get an "invalid password" message. I'm not sure if I've joined your server once already. Could you check and change the PW? Thank you in advance!

Try to use windows service infrastructure, it can restart when crashed.

I am very depressed about tho month long fiasco. All I wanted was to share my game with the community and it has,is,and always will be trouble.

Countless hours have been sucked out of my life and the result has been failure.

I will resume service when back home.
I will try to enable wi does services to help with restart.

This is exhausting.

I have seen this error before with inventory plus, I wonder if there is a problem there. The server also crashes at other intervals and different actions, but it is random and not easy to replicate.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[rnd]

1. simple linux script to auto restart server 10 seconds after crash ( you can still look at logs later); run_server.sh:

#!/bin/bash
while :
do
minetestserver --quiet --worldname 2015 --logfile /home/minetest/.minetest/log/debug.txt
echo "Server has stopped with exit code $?, restarting in 10 seconds, ctrl-c to abort. Backup daily."
sleep 10
done

2. errors:

if i look at https://github.com/cornernote/minetest- ... it.lua#L60 i see:
--player:get_inventory():set_width("craft", 2)
that line seems to be commented (--). Only reason for crash there would be if you made changes; you need to post your init.lua Also that part seems to display when player views a recipe. Most bugs seem to happen when game wants to read/write to a variable and it isnt defined

sometimes server crashes for more serious reasons ( segfault, memory leaks ).. not much to do then but fix the bug in source code

[Fixerol]

it is down again

[Tedypig]

rnd, he uses Windows (8, I believe). Your script wont work for him.

maikerumine, if it's a problem with Inventory Plus and/or the craft guide (I assume because rnd said "Also that part seems to display when player views a recipe"), maybe you could switch over to Unified Inventory, which has the craft guide built-in. The only problem I can see with that is, the skins menu doesn't work (no button) (unless there's a fix that I don't know about). I'm no expert, just trying to help. Even with the lag and crashes, this is my favorite sever in a long time. Thank you for making it so awesome.

[Fixerol]

I wonder if this lag caused by lack of bandwidth or lack of cpu or both. Uptime is 8hr and lag changes from good to bad and back from time to time. What is program priority, what you do on this PC? what you download beside of minetest on this and other PCs, what is cpu load, ram usage, network usage (windows updates, torrents, whatever), what is upload speed and etc... What is your PC spec?

// also, just to be on the safe side, make a backup of the database and other needed files, including auth.txt (because of just test password disaster).

//// btw, lag is kinda wavy, with up and downs (from good to bad and back)...

[Fixerol]

looks less laggy for me now. BTW, what the deal with corpses? Lots of them lying around but when I gather them they don't appear in my inventory.

Thanks man, that means a lot. :-) I do believe you, the people make the server a great place, all the mod makers that made the cool mods we are using, and the developers for hammering out code, just to make this all work in the first place.

The corpses do not drop bones, mainly to defeat the "bonefarm" trick. HAHA! I figure fighting monsters and mobs will be more part of the gameplay overall for balance.

I am happy to hear the lag is less, still tweaking settings in the .conf file to get things right, which hopefully does not corrupt the map...

Backups are done every morning, as for the entire minetest directory, just to be sure and safe.

Bandwidth is around 30mb dl and 12 ul, cpu is 4 cores only utilizing 2-5% processing. Ram is 16Gb and only 15-20% is utilized.

I do not run any other applications on the pc, I believe the lag and crashing may be partly caused by too many people--I lowered this to 28ppl max and it seems to run better. I do wish I was able to host more ppl, oh well.

NETFLIX... is utilized on occasion thusly bandwidth may suffer a teeny bit.

Sometimes I play on this machine while the server is running, I am sure that lags it a bit.

[everamzah]

12 MB/s upload is how they bill it and 1 MB/s up is what you get? That's how it is with mine, billed as 30MB/s upload, and I can upload 3MB/s actual speed. I haven't tried a speed test, yet. So 3MB/s upload and quadcore AMD 64 with 8 GB of ram and debian stable as an operating system. Debian is running solo, nothing else on the machine except minetestserver. Still, at 33 users, the server will lag. A lot of this, I feel, is due to settings in the conf, but I thing that a hosting a lot of users no matter what settings is going to require a lot more bandwidth.

I wonder if the network bandwidth were greater, that any burden on the CPU would be reduced. Does minetest have to work harder when it's got a lot of data and has to wait for the network to catch up?

[maikerumine]

UPDATE!!

ADDED Quartz, Mese Crystals, and cottages. Changed the conf file AGAIN to help with less lag. Fixed minor bugs and added shared chests.

[everamzah]

FYI, players can harvest mese crystals from the growing plant using the crystalline bell even if it's protected.

OOOOHH!! This is VERY GOOD to know! Thanks mate!

[BlueFireIceUn]

Maike, why did you add a skin about asia14? There was already one named jojoa

[AndDT]

It would be nice if you add sand monsters that will drop sand

[maikerumine]

SERVER IS OFFLINE TO TRY TO FIX CORRUPT PART OF THE MAP.

I did add sand monsters, they somehow don't spawn. I did add a new Mt Meru made of sandstone and desert stone though.

[Fixerol]

BTW, I've tried singleplayer on 0.4.13 there are probably a dozen of new blocks: beds, trees, new slabs, new stairs (including metals) and even vessels shelf, it would be nice if it will be available in your game if your are staying on 0.4.13.

[Fixerol]

This could be big: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3166
