Re: Formspec on surface

I'm not sure if it's already possible to create i.e. 10 entities and let them hoover in front of a node and react to clicks. That way a keypad could be emulated. you can already do this and you really only need one entity. you can figure out where on the entity the click was with a simple calculati...

Re: Setting absurdly long view range

The second screenshot looks good. I sometimes fly around just to get the ocean floor covered. Can this be added at least as an option to the game? probably not, or at least not before 7 years down the road. Devs are busy doing, then re-doing, then discussing various innoticeable changes and then sc...

Re: New decoration type

ugh. the lsystem trees are kinda meh. in short lsystems is a weird way to create turtle programs, and for fauna in mt the scale is all wrong. it would be better to have a more generic turtle system in cpp and feed it with lua generated ltree grammar or whaterver else. oloastre, i did some work tryin...

for technical discussion *prior* to writing any code there is no suitable channel and it hurts minetest development. the forum is too noisy for serious discussion, github issues are mostly useful for code details and IRC is problematic because of timezones and other factors. none of those are very g...

Re: Post your screenshots!

there is a bug in 0.4.11 which causes some operations (l-system trees and lua voxelmanipulators) to put random nodes into the map. the type of nodes depends on the mods installed.

created an issue, thanks for the report. it looks like it is not an error with the mod but the engine itself.

Re: Integrating a tutorial into Minetest

i think there could be a way to 'put a game in a world' if said world is kind of fixed, as it seems useful for some type of game anyways, like desert island or logo skyblock kind of stuff. then there would be just one world in a fresh minetest install, containing all that is needed for the tutorial ...
