This thread is for OldCoder Redcrab, my clone of an old Minetest world named Redcrab.
The original Redcrab was built with a simpler set of mods than is available to Minetest builders today. However, it demonstrated creativity and included a number of interesting structures.
The world was largely abandoned by its host, also named Redcrab, after a few years. It's often offline for extended periods. But Redcrab doesn't seem willing to pass the world on to others. So, it's likely to disappear forever.
To prevent the loss of the work invested in the world and the creations that it holds, I've created OldCoder Redcrab, a reasonably complete copy.
The world isn't perfect. We'll need to make fixes. However, Fixerol, a long-time Redcrab builder, says:
Fixerol wrote:"I will fire up both RedCrab and your RedCrab and compare if something is missing, but it looks very nice already and just like 0.4.4."
Note: Fixerol is known as Fixerol in the Minetest forums and as Fixer in-game.

Key points:
* You can use current Minetest clients to connect without special measures
* Interact is turned off for now, but fly, noclip, and settime are turned on
* You'll see unknown blocks, but most will convert automatically as you approach them
* This copy has most of the original Redcrab map as of October 2014
* mapgen is turned off for now, so the world won't grow larger
* Don't ask for interact here. See me in IRC or email me at: oldcoder@yahoo.com
Problems:
* There are missing pieces where captures are incomplete. You can help by making new captures.
* The missing pieces are creating lava and water flows. Those will need to be cleaned up.
* Travelnet stations work, but there are two problems (see below)
* Some moreblocks nodes are incorrect
* Trees probably don't grow yet. So, don't cut them down.
* If you'd like the worldedit priv to help with repairs, see me in IRC
You can only use some travelnets by clicking from outside or on the inside ceilings or floors. I'll need help from Sokomine or others to fix the problem.
Additionally, some travelnet stations are missing. After the travelnet display problem is fixed, people are invited to add the missing stations.
Credits:
The map is based on captures by Sokomine, Rob65535, and ShadowNinja. I spliced the captures together using Perl code. Amaz assisted with a mapgen-related problem.
The modset is based on work by Manzano, Sokomine, and myself. As expected, moreblocks didn't come out quite right and more work will be needed.
Fixer has made repairs. Redcrab, of course, deserves credit for creating the original world. And Erthome helped with related issues in 2014.
Miscellaneous:
* Both standard doors and Home Decor doors are presently opened using right-click and not left-click. There is a post with more information on this subject further down.
* There's a dumpster for unneeded items in the quarry at: 21.1, -19.5, -25.5
* The world includes both TenPlus1's Screwdriver Redo and Argos's Rotate tool. If you're an admin, to acquire the tools, give yourself screwdriver:screwdriver or rotate:wrench_gold. Note: These tools work on some nodes, but not on others.
* The copy of worldedit used doesn't presently support short-commands. So, for example, you'll need to use //pos1 and //pos2 instead of //1 and //2.
* The areas mod is provided. Protection information from the old world has been imported.
* Fixer says: Be careful with signs. If you're editing a sign with some text and you exit by pressing ESC, you'll lose all text in it (even if that text was there long before you). Press Proceed instead - you will not lose text that way.
Future:
It remains to be determined whether this will be a museum world or old players will build here. Note: This world will not be opened for builds to the general public.
If people would like to have mapgen turned on, technical issues related to changes between 0.4.4 and git-current may need to be worked out.
