SMT - New Minetest texture pack!

Hi folks, Quick annoucment: The Simple Minetest Textures (SMT) has been released. It aims to be smooth and elegant and plans to get rid of the classic 'pixelized' graphics for good lol Each .png is still 16 x 16 pixels, which means SMT has the same size as the Minetest default texture pack.

Re: Voxelands much faster than Minetest

That be faster about rendering and Frames is actually because that, since older versions run better in older machines. In fact Voxelands has evolved a lot since minetest 0.3.x. It includes tons more features and it is still, unlike Minetest nowadays, very fast. How does it compare in terms of featu...

Voxelands much faster than Minetest

Hi folks, Just to inform those people with less powerful computers that Voxelands (http://www.voxelands.com/) really kicks Minetest in terms of performance. In my 2007 computer, I have Minetest running slow at most 20 fps and Voxelands well into 30 fps! A big difference in terms of performance. I am...

Re: Help with cart

For the record, I found how to get the classic cart behaviour back. It's the carts-old mod, found at https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=2451. You can only use up to version 0.4.14 of minetest to run this mod. Again, what I like about the classic cart behaviour is its simplicity - you get on ...

Re: can't run minetest 0.4.14 on GNU/Linux

I don't like the why the rail carts have been implemented in 0.4.15 (or maybe in an earlier version I don't know yet). See my previous post viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16514

New map generator - MathWorlds

Hi, Just an anouncement: MathWorlds! I've tweaked the map generator to allow for the construction of mathematical objects given by an implicit equation of the form f(x,y,z)=0. There are several examples in the mapgen_torus.cpp file such as torus, sphere, parabola, etc... just uncoment those and then...

Help with cart

Hi guys, I remenber a few years ago there was a mod featuring a rail cart that when you jumped on it, it just started to ride (with the user on it). Now on 0.4.15 we have to paddle and it's not automatic anymore. Maybe you need powerails or so. Anyway, i much appreciate the simplicity of the initial...
