FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

It's because no one volunteered

It was drawn from scratch, with apparently minimal referencing

The name simply makes our project sound shit to outsiders

I missed this before. Yeah, it's a WIP. When I have time, I may update it.

This would cause a shit-ton ow work in the API and will affect all mods ever released. There either has to be an uber fat compatibility layer or a hard cut. Nope. If you renamed the namespace, it would be a one line fix for backwards compatibility: minetest = newname So IF there ever will be a rena...

I call bullshit on that one. If the users end up with <unknown node> by default , this is a sign of shoddy design. I also disagree with your reasoning in the issue, it doesn't address my other concerns. You could add an alias to the old nyan cat nodes UNLESS the nyancat mod is found. Meaning: No ny...

Get_definition is slower as it needs to go into c++

exactly ONE client that was built with cheating in mind There's been way more than this. Loads of people have made them, including me after being told that it was possible whilst playing a server in 2012... Cheat clients was a big problem in ctf, there was one at least once a week. Currently all CS...

They mean the external mapper, and it's likely due to node names changing so colors.txt not being correct

Urm, by spam I meant a lot of entries hiding other topics when you're interested in modding or giving modding help

/home/username/.minetest/mods

note that .minetest is a hidden directory

the exact same way as on a client, except you'll need to manually enable them by adding:

load_mod_modname = true

to the world.mt of the server's world

Nearly all mods will support multiplayer, due to how Minetest is designed. All games are actually multiplayer from the code's point of view, it's just that singleplayer only allows one player to join (with the name of "singleplayer")

remote media server. It means that the Minetest instance doesn't need to worry about serving media, instead a separate web server does that.

There is a Minetest clone - it's called Hexahedra: https://github.com/Nocte-/hexahedra
The author was inspired by Minetest.

All the games above are forks, however.

** and regarding the mods section. The only thing I see which is problematic is the *ask your modding questions here" post Would it not be better to have users make individual posts for their questions? The way it is now, gets confusing... and requires much scrolling, etc. I agree, 100%. The b...

It's important to do what you enjoy and follow your interests. Thank you for your contributions, and I wish you the best of luck :)

I spoke too soon: Now the release clients get their chat echoed two times. Is this an EITHER case, where you could either support 0.4.15-release OR 0.4.15-dev, but not both? Afaik there's no way of detecting whether a client will print the chat message before sending it, so yes: I can only support ...

Please may you provide screenshots, and a list of features it has and doesn't have

On your profile page it also tells you the number of posts you make a day on average, for me it's 2.6

Please don't let this be an "excuse" to shit post, however

If I properly understand conversation stream, MT step to majority update, it is good news. But: * If you have a older client version you will not be able connect to 0.4.16 servers anymore. * If you have a older server, 0.4.16 clients will not be able to connect anymore. That product behavior allowe...

Occasionally I test my code

I would have though three years would be enough to realize that you need to install a mod to protect your server against greifing. So you tell me that default permissions missing "interact" privilege are a mod and not an integrated option? Again, you misunderstand what the api allows you ...

linuxdirk's comments demonstrates a lack of understanding. Please read the api and see what you can actually do. Client side mods can't be used for privilege escalation currently. They can't interact with nodes, only read them. The entire point of csm is for display purposes - ie: to improve UIs, to...

This was already possible before, it just required c++ modifications. Being able to read nodes does have benefits - such as client side environmental sounds. Really it would be better if the api put a cap on the range from a player you can read, of if the node is accessible from the surface Overall ...

Linuxdirk wrote:Sounds awesome! Maybe not only for protocol but for all of the APIs, too? This would speed up the improvement of Minetest a lot!

Just checking - This is about dropping support, not maintaining support - before a few days ago we had support for 4/5 years (iirc)

When you refer to minecraft mods you're referring to patches, and when you refer to minetest mods you're referring to plugins. Patches are more powerful than plugins as they can change almost any part of the code, whereas plugins can only change what is exposed to them. It's also possible to create ...
