FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

If your head (playerpos.y += 1.625) sticks in a drawtype "normal" node without noclip, the screen is set to black. Mods can offset the camera position, so maybe if your head does not stick in such a node but the camera position is changed to e.g. the node below your feet, the screen is no...

Yep. Check the edit on the first post. It works, but I get an error where the skybox turns black while underground. It makes finding caves rather hard since they're also black.

Okay... I tried lowering all of my graphics settings to no quality and got the same results. Then, I happened to notice something interesting. Looking below me, I could see part of my own cave through the RemoteView blocks since they were lit by my torches. This tells me that the blocks are working ...

Yeah, I'm putting them directly against blocks. Like I said, it works fine with no-clip + fly. I haven't tested it without mods. Maybe that's what's happening. If I make a stock world, I might get a different result. EDIT: I just tried it with a newly made stock world. Above ground, the RemoteView b...

I just tested it without connected glass and had the same result.

It doesn't work with 'connected_glass = true' but if you haven't altered it I guess that wouldn't matter. I don't know man, it works fine for me. I know toggling Night/Day helps and so does toggling fly mode, I just tested it in a new game with no privs and it works for me. Okay, that's what it is....

I had a problem with this mod. If I don't have no-clip on with free-move, I only see black. At some angles, it will glitch and show me caves, but it's usually black.

Here's a thought: the game separates the textures of the world by chunks and such. What if that system was used to hide the chunk (or smaller segment) that I'm in? Then, the effect of the no-clip x-ray would be achieved. I know that something like this is possible due to Minecraft chunk-loading erro...

Do you mean two different Minetest installs? I guess I didn't realize that was possible.

It works because the whole map is a single object as far as the rendering engine is concerned and there are only textures on the outside of the object. When you are inside the object there is nothing to render on the side that you're looking and the engine doesn't render things that should be obscu...

That's a shame. Now, I'm curious how no-clip view even works.

I've had a hard time finding caves underground by digging, yet the privilege of No-Clip offers a perfect view of all of the underground caves. My suggestion is to create a mod that is simply a tool for Technic that temporarily enables a No-Clip style view of the world, disabling the textures for the...

I totally agree with your concept.

Look at minetest.conf and whatever player the 'name' setting is set to will have irrevocable full privs. That is most likely what is happening. You can setup a separate config to use when you launch your server or when you are in game and you have full privs type /set name f239023fj2309jf2309j23f j...

I set up a fake server to connect to for single player so that I can get the best performance possible. I then used the loop-back address (127.0.0.1) to connect to myself, bypassing all networking. I have two user names: one is the admin and the other is my player. The goal is to not have access to ...
