FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

"What are the dimensions of this world?"

There are no dimensions in Minetest.


"I seem to have reached the end of it, so that one without fly privileges enabled would fall off the edge of the world."

No, you can't. The Minetest's collision algorithm forbid that. You can't pass through the edge.

my world must be corrupted then, because my map just drops off and one could fly off and down the edge. how do i fix it?

Thanks for the report. I fixed that problem and added a new chat command:

It requires server privileges and can regenerate/reset areas of up to 64*64*64 nodes.
I updated the links in the first post, it can be found on GitHub now.

Thank you Krock for the quick response in posting a fix. Does this work with minetest 0.4.10? I'm using 0.4.10 from the ubuntu software center on ubuntu 14.10, since there is no stable 0.4.11 for download for my OS yet that I'm aware of (I just checked as of 20 Jan 2015). Maybe I am typing the command wrong? /regenerate (<8>*8) I've also tried various variations like "/regenerate 8" "/regenerate (<8>*8)^3" "regenerate (8*8)" and so on...

Fixed. https://github.com/SmallJoker/flatgen/commit/affe

Thank you for the fix. This is how it turned out on the corrupted map, with the dirt sticking out being the result of the command {/regenerate (100*8)}. It would probably be better for me to use worldedit to paste the stadium into another world, right?

I suspect that the world got corrupted when I used the "fixlight" command from worldedit, minetest had trouble with that and I had to close it.

Yes, I think saving the building is a better soulation than using /regenerate <size> in all broken areas.
Fixlight was not the problem, a Minetest engine change broke this mod.

You don't need a mod anymore with more recent versions of Minetest. Just choose the mapgen "flat" when creating a new world.
