FOSS gamedev and creative worlds
This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Re: Change licensing to minetest?
So, what is your problem with the license of minetest? (1) Let's take an example. I have made support for joystick in my own commercial software. In theory I could integrate that joystick driver in minetest (may be you support it already, but just to get the idea), but this narrows into question wh...

Minetest - scripting support...
Hi ! Have you considered other alternatives for scripting languages besides lua - for example: 1. C# + managed C++ clue layer. 2. cling / clang C++ scripting. As I understand 1 is not so good for linux since managed C++ extensions are simply not available on linux, only on windows platform. But may ...

Minecraft map reuse, minecraft communication protocol reuse
Hi ! Found mcserver, Minecraft like server which is apparently fluently working with normal minecraft like client. As I have understood - mcserver can use same maps as normal minecraft does - so file format is more or less the same, however - minetest uses some sql lite 3 / sql for storing map infor...

Hi ! Compiling on Windows: - This section is outdated. Tried on vs2012, 32-bit, and yes instructions are bit out dated. Starting from irrlicht - I needed to use irrlicht-1.8.1 , not 1.7 like readme mentions. sql lite 3 I've also somehow hacked in. one fix I have made to function: bool detectMSVCBuil...

Re: Change licensing to minetest?
Btw - what I've initially analyzed minetest code, looks like working, however - I see small lags in 3d engine. (Windows, 32 bit release (no optimizations) + debug build combined). You can build your own Windows 32 Bit Version with optimations and without debug information. This are only flags in th...

Re: Change licensing to minetest?
That is called ransoming. Very bad, and against the objective of FOSS. Read the definition of the word 'ransom' and SnowDrift's article . ... Minetest is written by volunteers for the love of gaming. It's not about making money. Sounds like a religious thinking, non-practical. Unfortunately I don't...

Re: Change licensing to minetest?
I feel more comfortable in working under different licensing mechanism. What do you mean with that? What license mechanism????? I understand, what a other license is, but I don't understand, what a other license mechanism is... Eventually I would like to drive all code towards ownership by someone....

Change licensing to minetest?
Hi ! What do you think - does it sounds feasible to completely close current minetest source code (or at least future versions), and find different licensing mechanism for it ? I would be interested in joining development of minetest client side, however somehow I feel more comfortable in working un...
