FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I think that it is interesting to have such a large and rare monster in the desert. I do not know how much of the Voxiworld pages you have read on DCJTech.info, but most of Voxiworld is a combination of previously made mods all combined and edited by me (with some of my own mods). The sandworm is no...

Voxiworld v1.2 has been released - http://dcjtech.info/topic/voxiworld-v1-2-released/

I think you are referring to the "Sand Worms". Those things are vicious. They will attack players and mobs when seen. The worms eat/remove sand. Instead of guns, Voxiworld does have Chinese throwing stars (shurikens), bows and arrows, and snow that can be thrown. Yes, rockets would be grea...

The server has been down occasionally due to "bad alloc" crashes. That is the only major problem with Voxiworld, and I cannot find the cause of the problem. It is a sporadic bug that occurs when a player joins the game, but the problem is not reproducible. By the way, in my opinion, Minete...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. I agree with the concept of matching textures @Kenney. I will check my textures. I never heard of Voltsbuild. I will look into that. @ABJ, what do you mean by "arch monsters"? The 1600s-1700s era dude is harmless unless he is attacked (he w...

I wanted to introduce my project called Voxiworld. Voxiworld is a sub-game (or one big mod) for the Minetest engine. My goal is to make a voxel world that is better than Minecraft and show that Minetest is a great alternative to Minecraft. Voxiworld v1.1 has over 2200 objects (the rolling release on...

Well, some of my other programming projects are doing well and I have been learning C++. This means my Minetest projects will not be too active. I want to spend more time on my other projects, so you will all see me very rarely. If any of you have really enjoyed my mods (Nuclear Material, Senderman,...

It said that there is a file int.lua in the DCJ-Minetest-Mods-master (it tolled me that that is were the debug.txt is) but the only int.lua is in the slender man, curancy, and nuclear matryale folders so..... I can not finded out. and i do have spawn eggs. If you read the "README" on Gith...

@asdfref My Senderman mod depends on spawneggs, and spawneggs has dependencies of its own. What is the error message in debug.txt?

I will try using the full path. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments and compliments everyone.

@asdfref I wish I could figure out why you are having issues.

By the way if I remember correctly your fill ratio is going to spawn a lot of houses. I would suggest something like 0.05. I know many houses will be made. Since I am still testing the code, I wanted to very quickly find a house so I know it all works. I have the latest stable build (0.4.9). My Wor...

Is there a better way to make "mts" and "we" files spawn than using the code below? minetest.register_decoration({ deco_type = "schematic", schematic = "small_wooden_home.mts", place_on = {"default:desert_sand", "default:dirt_with_grass"}, ...

I tried this yesterday, and it's a scary mob! It felt like they were invincible, and they move fast. Just one problem: why are they showing up in the daytime? I'm not familiar with the Enderman from Minecraft, but shouldn't dangerous creatures generally be out only at night? I had to disable this m...

Do you have spawneggs and its dependencies enabled? I am not having issues on my system. Is there an error message in debug.txt?

@kaeza Thank you very much. Now, I am motivated to write more mods. Now that I have a better understanding of the Minetest API and the management and policies of the Minetest community, I can spend more time on making more detailed/large mods.

What can I do to get this mod moved to "Mod Releases"?

well at least the userids have not changed.
(or well not exactly exactly right now, i first want to finish a neuronal network)

Thanks Iqualfragile for the time you will be spending to fix the MMDB.

Note that even if this succeeds, your islands will be perfect cubes…

Thanks! That helped. I also had to change "sheet" to "scatter", otherwise Minetest would crash. So, is "sheet" unstable?

Casimir wrote:Try a wider range for height_min and height_max, those define the y coordinates between which you will find the ore. E.g.:
height_min = 0,
height_max = 1000,

Okay, I tried that. However, Minetest crashes without leaving error messages in the logs. Is there a better way I can do this?

@rubenwardy Unfortunately, my account is new. So, what do I do to upload to the MMDB? By the way, thanks for the help.

It would be wonderful if there were an easy way to make more biomes via Lua.

I am dabbling with the Minetest API to try out making various types of mods. I am try to make some floating nodes for the purpose of later making a space biome. I am using "minetest.register_ore" to try to make some random Desert Stone (default:desert_stone) form in "air" nodes. ...

I have an account here on the Minetest forums (obviously). However, I cannot login to the MMDB so I can upload mods. Am I doing something wrong?

@crazyginger72 Thanks. Once I can figure out how to submit mods to the mmdb, that will encourage me to make more mods. I love to program, but I want to program stuff that people will use and enjoy. @rubenwardy I still cannot login to the mmdb. I have tried. What do you suggest? https://forum.minetes...

Can they use teleport like real enderman ? Not yet. I am still figuring out how to tweak the Mobs API to get it to work better like add the ability to jump while chasing a player. The Mobs API needs to be re-written. My "Senderman" uses the same API that PilzAdam's "Simple Mobs"...

@crazyginger72 Would changing it from radium to plutonium and changing the color help get my mod added to the mmdb and moved to "Mod Releases"? I am wanting to get my mods to be added to the mainstream Minetest game. What can I do to accomplish my goal? I am wanting to become a well-known ...

@crazyginger72 Okay, then I will change the uranium into radium. As for the bomb, the explosion is larger than the mese tnt in the nuke mod. The TNT in the nuke mod is weak compared to a nuclear bomb.
