Re: Suddenly: black hole in landscape

I've been using the remove_unknown mod to remove weird shadows. It doesn't show any unknown blocks removed but it removes the shadow weirdness. viewtopic.php?t=11259 Works almost everytime.

Re: Nodes can not be placed on slabs

I was recently creating a 'realistic' model of a local building in Minetest and had a similar issue trying to duplicate a brick and cement pattern. If you are looking for a cosmetic effect and you'll use it for a large number of blocks, create a custom block with the texture representing the 'half s...

Re: [Mod] travelnet teleporters/bookmarks [2.0][travelnet]

I have two questions... Using elevators - Can I remove the actual text in the button? I would like to use math problems in the floor description to define the floor (for example, third floor would be 'described' as 1+2). the problem I am having is the button for floor three says '2' because floor on...

Re: [Mod] Item sell/buy system / banking (for servers) [econ

I have not been working on this mod for a long time. There are some other alternatives around which can keep up to and are better than my mod in some aspects, some are worse. I also won't continue developing this except if you have revolutionary ideas. Its actually working pretty well for what I ne...

Re: [Mod] Item sell/buy system / banking (for servers) [econ

You can use string.format to get a properly formatted string. e.g. local str = string.format("%2.2f", 4.4) Also I would be careful with using vanilla floating point numbers for money, since you might accumulate precision errors. The best method would be to store the number of cents as an ...

The world Stops? Falls off like the old days?

Can anyone tell me what causes this and if it can be fixed? I get these on a lot of the things I try to do in Minetest and I am not sure why.

Re: How To Get Rid of Removed Mods Error?

I'm pretty sure I caused the errors by removing mods without first disabling them in the game.

Re: PNG Settings

The matter comes down to learning on the fly. Right now, I am seeing our 'world' loading after about 30-60 seconds, while worlds on the minetest internet server load in 15-30 seconds. I think I need to trim down the number of mods I loaded. Still, 6 weeks ago when we started, it could take up to 2 m...

How To Get Rid of Removed Mods Error?

How can I get rid of this error from mods I removed? Are they there because I have nodes created through the mods in the world? Maybe dependencies I've forgotten? Just trying to clean it up... do I need to start from scratch? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/f9i4Dvg3P1C7MIEUMbxpjAiasvyZPmtvR39ONRPY...

Re: Minetest - Education Version

New Idea? .. track the age of node .. degradation .. durability rating .. rate of decay .. force the students to maintain structures they build .. can be very educational! Careful what you wish - they might learn something different than what you want to teach. Depending on decay-speed/prices/time/...

Re: Minetest - Education Version

New Idea? I want to add an new element to the all building blocks (nodes) based on their type (wood, stone, glass, etc) that tracks the age of the node for the purpose of degradation not unlike the little bar that we see when tools degrade after use. The concept would fit my growing server in the sc...

Re: PNG Settings

OK - moving along in my attempt to resolve the matter, I have a question to ask about the file format used in the textures. PNG is the first choice, but is that because its the most modern and popular file format or is there a real reason for it? For instance, if I can create transparency through gi...
