FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Update : code maintenance. Cuttable nodes are now also determined automatically, checking through all mods.

Not to mention we have to subject our PRs to an abstract divinity called "The Spirit" who determines the right way forward.

Fixed.

Lua and Java have two different paradigms of programming. I'd choose Python for an introduction to the object-oriented languages. However Lua is an excellent language to penetrate into the programming world in general. Moreover, associating the fun with lessons is an effective way to learn. Modding ...

No idea.

Using texture modifiers does not free up space. The resulting images are stored on your RAM instead of your HDD.

And it has nothing to do with performances. I'd say it's even slower since the engine have to generate these combined images at start-up time.

Update : some nodeboxes from the worktable can now be combined by pressing sneak + right-click. Example with a cube and panel :

Rewarding publicly with money on such a place might introduce jealousy, unhealthy avidity and individualism — this isn't the Wild West. But I guess it depends of cultures, some are more rightist / liberal and find that normal.

I want to raise the cost of enchanting (so the cost would be 2 or 3 mese crystal), but couldn't figure out what I have to change for this. Can you help me with that? I pushed a commit to make the cost in mese easily changeable. You can modify the cost here : https://github.com/kilbith/xdecor/blob/m...

Nodebox and meshnode drawtypes does not support smooth lighting in the engine.

Most of our devs explicitly consider art as depending from tastes only and I once heard say that "they're not important"... Well, you're demonstrating that this is complex science as well as coding. Would-be "artists" should just stop their improvised pixel-carnages in mainstream...

I pushed a commit to restrict the repairing to some tools.

unfortunately I'm not able to enchant the 3d armor stuff. Fixed . Thanks for reporting. About the formspec not triggering after placing, this is because the node formspecs are server-side and sometimes the engine fails or is slow for constructing the metadatas. Placing another node aside may help i...

How you do get the number of items in a stack that is inside an inventory slot in a formspec to display in the infotext of a node? local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos) local inv = meta:get_inventory() meta:set_string("infotext", tostring(inv:get_stack("listname", index):get_count...

It compiles the Lua code on the fly and make it ~5x faster compared to plain Lua, getting close to C++ in execution overall.

The downside is a poor memory management. LuaJIT winces when it deals with greedy mods consuming >2 GB RAM.

The minecraft community should be focusing their play and development efforts on Minetest because it gives you the freedom to easily try things out Hmmm... tell me for example serious alternatives to ComputerCraft or NoCubes in Minetest ? (hint : there aren't). I realize how hard is it to hear that...

Update : code maintenance™ and addition of an Iron Light Box. Also, the crafting guide is now a little more responsive due to a conversion from item lists to buttons.

Evergreen : now fixed.

Minecraft is just as good, and also more complete Modding wise, Minecraft can do more and better than Minetest, but it requires you to be a skilled coder. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it sets a filtering for the shit mods to proliferate like in Minetest. Anyways : Minetest is not a game, it...

There's a weird thing in your code : https://github.com/minetest-mods/trash_ ... #L122-L124

You can get rid of the loop and use inv:set_list("trashlist", {}) for emptying efficiently your list.

Update : more code maintenance done and tabs added to the crafting guide.

This is entirely client-side (fortunately) and running in its own separate thread.

Full viewing range != Frame per second (FPS)

Nobody seems have noticed an important detail :

Sick-D!! wrote:Full viewing range

This is extremely expensive since the game renders unlimitedly the whole map, whatever are your specs.

So, set a limit to your viewing range if you don't want to burn your hardware.

Looks like if you have hunger mod, it will show double one over your hud after watching someone with it. I know, Hunger mod uses HUD elements in a special manner it seems. Second problem is not fixable without checking within a globalstep (meaning more lag). Anyways I won't bother to fix this. Don'...

Not tired to advertise your subgame wherever you have a small occasion to ?

I'm quite fed up of your swaggering to divert some attention and basically not helping much the original posters.

Trying to reproduce and working on this.

EDIT: seems like the troublemaker was the latest feature added. Now reverted.

My bad, there was a bug with the health's restoring after eating a soup. Now fixed in git.

Update : I improved the crafting guide's code among other clean-ups recently.

Eating a soup restores your health (if you took some damages already) : https://github.com/kilbith/xdecor/blob/ ... ts.lua#L42

Normally you shouldn't have to look into the code for cooking with the cauldron, there are infotexts at every step.
