Re: Weak node protection for PVP
You don't really need to protect all types of blocks. You can implement special (colored) "team" block and assign group like "team1". In addition, you can create "team" tools which are good for digging team1 blocks and are bad for digging team2, team3 etc blocks. The qu...

Re: Poll: Growing crops and/or saplings underground?
If you allow to grow anything underground, it will encourage players to stay underground. There are not so many reasons to go on surface. Only wood and farms. But decision about "whether you allow underground farming or deny it" is up to server owners. Default minetest game have no farming...

Re: Thoughts about Minetest
If you are going to make specific "game part", you'll need special c++ programming skills anyway.
Be more specific in your questions and you get better answers.

@rubenwardy, can you explain how diplomacy supposed to work?
What are teams states?
What actions you need to perform to change from each state to each other?

Re: Why don't people know what PvP is?
all players look exactly the same and there is no way to tell what items they have/wield. suddenly blue plasma things come floating in your face there is lots of loud irritating noise. and death. there is no save place, not even inside the spawn. i lost interest very quickly :P That's the fun of it...

My daily work is related to sql, java and scala. In my part-time job as a teacher I use C#. I've chosen it because MSVS was most convenient one three years ago.

Re: Using a DB
In this case it is better to use anything simple for a quick start. If storing data in files is easier than compiling luasql, then use files. Minetest already provides you (de)serialization functions.

Re: Using a DB
I think that best option to store minetest world is noSql database like cassandra.
You need fast insert and select of blocks of data and don't really need transaction handling and table relations.

Re: [Modpack] CTF PvP Engine [1.0] [ctf_pvp_engine]
Looks like I have figured out how to do this.
I feel really uncomfortable with changing this mod without any tests. Thats why I'm going to increase production quality of this mod.
Do you have any familiar unit-testing framework?
If not, I'll use lunatest.

Re: [Modpack] CTF PvP Engine [1.0] [ctf_pvp_engine]
I have found source of the problem. When players join to team, ctf state is not being marked as "need save". Thats why it wasn't saved. I assume this might be an option for games with short sessions. I have added config parameter to persist team membership. I have failed to push it to your...

Re: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows
I think it is better to make batch file to start a server. It is just a text file with name "start.bat" containing text minetest.exe --server --worldname WorldName > log.txt pause On error it will not close immediately and text of any error will present in file "log.txt"

Re: Why client-sided scripting?
