Luanti Forums

I read the README.md. What I didn't understand is: are the images loaded when the clients log in or later in the game when you approach them? This uses the dynamic media functionality, which is what it says - no server restart needed. The loaded data from the server is sent to all connected players...

why not..its 911

The server is effectively moved to the new hardware. Rankings and webpage will get updated soon. If you're having issues, DNS still needs to update. You can try to use `minetest.foo-projects.org` or `luanti.foo-projects.org` as the server name. Both should work. If you can't connect, you may need to...

Hi sofar, did you try it?

No, I'm a server operator and software developer. My idea of "playing" is building fun stuff that people will play, so, I'm not your target audience - I however am intrigued by the idea and setup, though, hence the interest.

Thanks for keeping this server alive!

I'm not making any commitments, but, I do want to spend some time revamping the review system and make it community based, so we can get the backlog down, and encourage new builders.

The server will move to new hardware soon. There will be a short period where it will be shutdown. Hopefully just a few minutes, but, I might kick off players at the time. The new server is being tested and things seem to work, but you'll notice that things like the webpage and stats are going to ta...

Interesting. I assume you are hosting this at your own expense? How and where are you hosting these servers?

There is none. This was discussed by the cdb folks but they opted for tracking download metrics only, for now. Any feedback system has inherent bias and can readily be skewed, hence the absence of it.

Another thing one can do is count mod/game usage on active servers to get some idea of popularity.

https://archive.org/details/minetest-the-versions has a bunch, too!

Some of it is here:

Project is obsolete. See the public remote media server thread for an explanation. The code base has been archived.

Due to API changes in Luanti, this project is effectively dead. The Luanti API does not support operating a mega-remote media server that has all the files. It would cause every client to have to download about 6mb of data just to get the *index* of the media present on the PRMS that I'm operating, ...

you can take my box:1182 combo cc-by-sa Before we have 300 people posting this, it would be easier if we implement something on the server that people can do while online to release their boxes. That way owners can do this without me having to track down whether a forum user is actually the same us...

I am open to some of the posted ideas on how to get a wider audience for the puzzles created on the server, including sharing boxes over the network. In my opinion the server model has worked well, but I have failed to implement better collaboration mechanisms. Moderation is still a fairly manual pr...

Oh does the regular auth backend support memory caching of recent players now? Not sure where you get the idea that sauth is possibly no longer maintained but as always everyone is free to do whatever they wish, maybe just try sticking to known facts... I edited my statement to rectify this. I'll t...

This mod has run for years without issues on my server. But I'm no longer interested in keeping it around because the default sqlite3 auth backend (*) replaces the files backend and that's why I used sauth originally. Sauth supports memory caching of auth requests and the default backends (AFAIK) do...

This is really neat and well done. I'm surprised by how small the code ends up being! kudos!

I've converted "Earth by Lentebriesje" in the past (takes like 3 days, at least back then), using the map convert tool I brushed up with several other devs. It's still usable and posted on the forum somewhere.

But yeah, those maps are fun indeed.

2. Rejecting connections from clients that omit referrer URLS or are adware or paid. Unfortunately this leaves the servers having to pick up the slack, ruining the experience for legitimate players Sounds more like an engine issue. Media packets should be handles with much lower priority than every...

Shadows are currently linked to the sun being visible. If a mod changes the skybox settings to hide the sun, shadows will also disappear.

One note: Currently mods from CDB that are hosted in GIT are automatically imported and/or updated. The PRMS does not yet support mods from CDB that are uploaded as ZIP releases. Maybe I will, maybe I won't add this. I don't know yet.

UPDATE Long overdue, but, since many servers still use the public remote media server, I am currently updating the server and focusing on 2 sets of changes: 1. Relying on CDB to add new mods and games automatically to the PRMS. This means over 1800 mods will now automatically be hosted through the ...

I've done some basic refreshes to the code - updating the server code to 5.6.x versions. One of the benefits is that the server now supports, and enables, shadows. IMHO it adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. Some of the boxes will likely not benefit from it because of the shadow angle and especiall...

Don't correct me . If you had done your research you would know the truth. Look at "luaj" by James Roseborough which was the original LUA implementation used by minetest in 2009 Excuse me, but, public discussion is all about improving public understanding. The words "Don't correct me...

Then i was playing box 293 i had a idea that you could Complete a box without a nexus cube. You technically can't, because the doors are closed until the opening condition is met, and this is a hard stop. However, I'm not sure if you can use a piston or node creator to somehow make the condition me...
