Re: [Mod] Sprint [sprint]
Good mod! I changed movement_speed_walk to 2.7 so Sam happily walks down stairs instead of dropping. And changed the SPRINT_SPEED to 2.5 for a quick sprint.

Quicksand! :) So moving allot in quicksand makes you sink even faster. My suggestion is as follows. player physics can be manipulated with the api. I say not moving will not make you sink.

Re: Generating craft example images
Rubenwardy, You could also do this as a Minetest mod. Imo that is the neatest solution. Am suggesting a command "/genrec <name of item/node/tool or a lua regex to select multiple>" which then generates the recipe(s) and the output of them. Also imagemagick allows the making of 3d boxes. It...

Re: Generating craft example images
Casimir, the goal is to generate them automatically. Not requiring the modder to do this with gimp. Imagemagick allows the scaling of an image. Thus this can be automated. Sokomine, i agree that the resulting craft image should also be shown. Good idea and a +1. Anyone with some technical know how o...

Generating craft example images
Most modders preffer sharing the work they did on the forum. Showing players how to craft stuff is part of that.

So I was thinking. Griefing is sometimes an issue on some servers. It's considered a horrible deed in most cases, but what if it could be fun in some of the cases. It is more a tool for server moderators than a mod. A bounty system in which certain deeds raise the prize on the players head(bounty). ...

Looking good, I really like the periodic table gui.
I would like to see an overview of all the elements that can be made and how that should be done. A sort of craft guide but then what steps to take to get a certain substance.
