04:46 Argentus What is the right way to set a node's param2 in its on_construct callback? It seems calling set_node on its own position makes it an infinite loop and I haven't found a better function to set only the param

17:34 Conradish006 Hey guys! While I was on my server recently, there was a screwup that happened with worldedit, and since nobody had played that day or the day before. I figured it was okay to restore to a backup from the previous day. While it was "restoring" to a backup, it suddenly said "failed" and then went back to the MMC. I tried to start the server, but it failed to start every time. I open minetest.conf, and there was
17:34 Conradish006 nothing. I opened the news.txt and there was nothing. After contacting the server host, she attempted to restore to an older backup. And minetest.conf, and the news.txt reappeared. But the map file is still corrupted, if possible I would like to salvage the map file because there was a fair amount of stuff built already. If anybody has an ideas on how to salvage the map file, or how to correct the backup issu
17:34 Conradish006 es, please let me know, as the server has already been down for quite a while, and I'd love to get it back up ASAP.
17:35 Conradish006 Ugh, it sent multiple messages
17:36 Conradish006 Here is the errors it's spitting when trying to start the server https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgSAao8Auv_pkVEm7DZHb6OBA8dl
17:36 sfan5 don't you have older backups? also what exactly is the error when you try to load the map?
17:36 sfan5 nvm to the last question
17:37 Conradish006 We tried to restore to older backups, yet the same issue happens every time.
17:38 pyrollo joined #minetest
17:39 sfan5 uh
17:39 sfan5 do you still have the database file before you restored from the backup?
17:40 Conradish006 I can see
17:41 Conradish006 I am very annoyed with myself though, because I was going to start downloading a copy of the map file every week to my PC
17:41 Conradish006 I just hadn't yet
17:41 eeerungur ouch.
17:41 sfan5 have you ever confirmed that the backups worked correctly?
17:42 Conradish006 No, foolish on my part
17:43 eeerungur Conradish006: btw, i have a nice backup script that takes copies of the sqlite data without having to shut down, i'll dig it up if you're interested (for future use).
17:43 Conradish006 I believe thats how it was running, because it never shut down to backup
17:43 eeerungur copying a running sqlite file is dodgy
17:44 Conradish006 Please excuse me, I am still learning the "lingo" and not very familiar with any of this.
17:44 eeerungur no worries.
17:44 eeerungur sqlite is a file based database. if you back it up but copying the file or zipping it you can get errors if the server is still running.
17:45 eeerungur there are sqlite tools that can make a safe copy while the server is running, which you can then back up.
17:45 Conradish006 Not entirely sure how to interpret what you're saying, so I'll screenshot it and send it to my host.
17:46 eeerungur ok. simple version. if you have been backing up files on a live server, they might all be corrupted.
17:46 eeerungur sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
17:47 Conradish006 I gathered that, but is it at all possible to repair the map file?
17:47 eeerungur that i don't know.
17:47 eeerungur sorry.
17:48 Conradish006 Okay, thx for your help!

17:55 Conradish006 My apologies I don't quite gather what you mean
17:56 sfan5 from the point after the screwup with worldedit and before you tried to restore a backup
