In English, yes.

What? You can't name a game Bob!

race specific craft should be pretty hard to do :/ There has to be a custom inventory or crafting place that checks the race value of the user and compares it with the race value of the tool he wants to craft and either place the crafted item in the output slot of that inventory or crafting place o...

This would cause a shit-ton ow work in the API and will affect all mods ever released. There either has to be an uber fat compatibility layer or a hard cut. So IF there ever will be a rename it should be done when finally reaching version 1.0. So "Minetest" will be the test/beta/etc. versi...

Entschuldige die Falschaussage, habe es oben korrigiert. Na ja, "Falschaussage". Also generell stimmt es schon. Du kannst auch mods erstellen, die nichts von "default" benötigen. Diese haben dann eben nur relativ wenig Möglichkeiten, irgendwie auf das Spiel einzuwirken - aber du...

Andernfalls wird die Mod, aus der das Item überschrieben werden soll, nicht gefunden, da sie gleichzeitig geladen werden. Nope, das ist Single-Threaded, es wird immer nur eins nach dem anderen geladen. Allerdings zufällig. Am besten angewöhnen, die depends.txt immer mindestens mit "default&quo...

any help??? You computer has to forward the port to the application (acutally it's quite different from that but the result can be described like that). If this is done by configuring it in the "Windows Firewall", thats okay. Next step is that you need to configure your router to forward ...

When changing the name to "Vegemite Pup" we'll have the same situation as with the "Nyan Cat" (trademark-related issues).

Development builds of Minetest are not normally considered "experimental", and anyway the 0.4.15 build is a zip from the last commit that was 0.4.15-compatible, so it may as well be a tag. But ... but .. it's Git. No-one wants to mess around with zip files in the year 2017 :) But yes, you...

Sergey wrote:Damn. No standard at all.

Welcome to Minetest :D

Why don't create a tag for the last version that works with the release version of Minetest? No need for branches or "forcing" users to install an experimental version of Minetest just for using your mod(s).

We have 8x and 4x. Now we need to have 2x!

Should be possible though to create a nice alternative like fast ladders, [...] As long as climb speed is a global hardcoded value it is unnecessary complicated to create nodes you can "climb" faster. Climb speed has to be made a node-individual configurable value with a configurable defa...

Yes, a cheater could compile a modified client, but I think having client mods loaded from the client makes the barrier to cheating too low, compared to if the player had to recompile Minetest with cheats or seek out a modified build from someone else. Yes, exactly THIS is an issue here. OF COURSE ...

You download an "X-ray mod" like [oredetect] and install it as client-side mod. Really? Really really? That's ridiculous, if that is true. It is. As I was told client-side mods can see anything that the client can already see. And since the client can see all ores client-side mods can see...

But you can't install these mods on the client. You have to load them from the server. Or did I miss something? That's the point here. You download an "X-ray mod" like [oredetect] and install it as client-side mod. Now you can use the mod on every server you want without the server knowin...

[Insulting bullshit] Is this an official statement endorsed by the whole dev team or is it just you being offensive? I can't point to lines that do not exist. That’s what I was asking for: A general description on what CSM is and what it not is. Instead you go around and blatantly insulting your us...

What again is your problem? The lack of communication to the users about CSM. The lack of any security features regarding CSM. The lack of proper documentation for CSM. The lack of a function for server owners to disable CSM. etc. CSM can't even send anything to the server. It can't dig a node. It ...

That product behavior allowed while MT is beta, after release it point at serious system problem (in engineer terminology) If MT had some sort of release branches where you could backport compatibility to older versions: yes. Since MT does not have that it's kind of rolling release and thus backwar...

I couldn't even stand playing a game that outdated!

Preferably before implementing client-side modding makes all other security features useless.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

return minetest.registered_tools[wielded_item_name] ~= nil


Yep. Better solution.

Oh come on. Really? What do you think? I'm 12?

I would have though three years would be enough to realize that you need to install a mod to protect your server against greifing. So you tell me that default permissions missing "interact" privilege are a mod and not an integrated option? Anyway since you don't like the way CSM is being ...

red-001 wrote:I mean if a server owner doesn't bother to install a protection mod then yes. but that has nothing to do with CSM.

So all server owners worldwide have to install 3rd party protection mods because MT devs do not care about protecting the modding API against cheating?

So ... yeah ...

I wonder if privilege escalation (or circumvention) is possible. Griefers then could plaster a server's spawn with giant cobblestone phalli.

Oh my god :( Sounds pretty much unmaintainable to me! Two years should be more than enough.

You can use player:get_wielded_item().
