Re: Problem creating skins in Gimp
Yes, drop your character.png file inside the texture pack folder and it should change your character skin in game. Ok, thanks. :-) (For those who are wondering, it was gksu that caused the problem. It happened as a result of not partitioning my /usr folder. I thought gksu was supposed to prevent th...

Re: Problem creating skins in Gimp
Create a textures folder inside of your .minetest folder (not the system one but the user settings folder) and create a temp directory called mytextures, inside that place your character.png file and run minetest, from textures tab select the mytextures to enable your personalized character skin.

Re: Problem creating skins in Gimp
No it says "could not load image character.png while building texture" and "creating dummy image for character.png"
It gives a monochromatic skin (dummy image) in its place.
[EDIT]:
It seems like it might be Nautilus causing the problem. I'm going to follow up on that assumption.

Re: Problem creating skins in Gimp
So how does replacing with a perfectly good .png file prevent the file from loading in game? That appears to be what has happened. I even reversed it with a copy of the original that I saved as a backup and it still doesn't load.

Problem creating skins in Gimp
I've made custom skin and it won't load in-game. I replaced the character.png with my own and named it character.png. For some reason (not specified in the debug.txt file), the game can't load it. It seems to have the same properties; but I'm not certain that the format is exactly the same. Does any...

Re: [Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesec
Ok so the node detector only detects nodes placed in the coordinate directly in front of it? Is there a way to give it a radius like the player detector? I can't find this information online.

Re: error failed to initialize world
It may have been a permission thing, though I doubt that. Usually when Minetest runs the first time it will create the .minetest directory, because you created it yourself it may have been a problem. That makes sense but I would think that the error log would have said "access denied" ins...

Re: The game is too poorly optimized.
This helped my frame rates a lot. It's still not smooth though.
I'm using AMD hardware. 3.3ghz FX quad core. 8gb 1333 RAM and a 7770 GHZ. 1gb.
I love this game though, and I'll put up with it so those with P4s and Semprons can play too. :)
