I'm sorry for using such a vague term; what I meant was not really the formatting of the code but rather the structure of the code itself. In this instance, object orientation was used to provide the extensibility and modularity inherent to his design of the noise generation algorithms. Because the...

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

will tell you the graphics card.

Card: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M]

Besides basic civility, it seems to me that the main problem here is communication. prestidigitator, in one of the clearest examples of abuse by the devs, had believed that he had their support in the large amount of effort that he put into making a more flexible model for noise generation, only to...

Nice mod! Added it to "famish".

Do you have a github repo or just zip releases?

If I add moreblocks (github HEAD e48d33808822e2a3cb7feb39450a6d6bc099afb6) to my game "famish" it crashes minetest: GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY minetest: COpenGLDriver.cpp:2475: bool irr::video::COpenGLDriver::testGLError(): Assertion `!(true)' failed. fish: Job 1, “../../bin/minetest” terminated by signal SIG...

I like it. It gives me an RSS feed of important changes.

Hello everyone! Mods are not installed per game anymore. [...] Games are not affected by this change. This sounds incoherent. My interpretation: ⋅ Games behave and are written as before. Hence they include their own mods and these are always active. ⋅ Mods outside of games are d...

I found "player.set_physics_override", which apparently can change the players walking speed.

However, I did not find a callback for player movement, direction change, button press, or something similiar.

Idea: earthquake I believe it should be possible to implement an earthquake effect like this: ⋅ Shake player view ⋅ Randomly let blocks of any kind (especially cobblestone,bricks, and other building material) fall ⋅ Randomly destroy blocks of certain kinds (glass,sand)

Looks like the API does not support to change the movement speed? What I ultimately want is different movement speeds for the player depending on the direction. So walking backwards is slower than walking forwards. This hopefully makes hostile mobs more dangerous in my survival game . Also making th...

ompldr.org is down. Somebody has a copy of the latest zip?

Hello, this is my variant of a survival game for minetest. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1456950/famish-v0.1.png Download : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1456950/famish-v0.3.tar.bz2 How to use : Extract tarball and put the famish directory under your minetest/games/ directory (not in the...

Why? Do you think both game styles can be provided by minetest_game?

Minetest includes multiple games, what is the intention behind each of them? My view as a relative outsider: ⋅ minimal - used for engine testing ⋅ minetest_game - a minimalistic playable game ⋅ survival - player can die ⋅ build - for building awesome castles, ...

Could you try to describe your problem more concisely? The core devs are very conservative about the mods they include into the official games (minetest_game, build, survival) and I consider this a good thing. Stability and reliability are important for a game engine and a vibrant modding community....

The irrlicht package in Fedora is buggy . How did you compile it? Did you not run into this issue ? No, I was able to install that from the repo's I am using Fedora 18 x86_64 and installed the irrlicht18 package (which is 1.8), but not the irrlicht package (which is 1.7). Minetest (HEAD and 4.6) co...

This is definitely not about SSE. If you execute SSE code on a processor, which does not support it, you get an "illegal instruction" error, instead of a segfault. Since it crashes in "__strcmp_sse2", it probably got a null pointer, instead of a valid string somehow. You could install all the debugi...

How can you configure mods externally? E.g. from a "game". In my specific case, I want to disable the traders in the Mobf, disable the music in ambience, and disable thirst in the survival_modpack. My ideas: ⋅ RTFM. There is already a good solution, but I have not found it. ⋅ For...

Lets torches burn down. They simply disappear after some time (1 day?).

Combined with mobs, it should increase the difficulty, since there is no eternally save haven anymore.

See the bug I filed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928037 They added the new irrlicht version while keeping the old one. But the new headers replaced the old ones, so when you compile minetest, it gets the wrong headers. I put a patch for the spec file in the bug. The bug in the irr...

There are probably multiple understandings of "survival". For example, make building harder, so building a house is more of a challenge. Another variant would be: How many days until I die with an environment which becomes increasingly hostile. Personally, I want the second variant. I can imagine: &...

That is the problem. It doesn't free when the app exists. The app must free the RAM by itself, because the system cannot do that. Memory leaks mean that the application actually allocates memory somewhere, but then it doesn't free it. The OS has NO WAY OF KNOWING if that part of the memory is used ...

This means that each time you run minetest, you lose ~35MB of RAM (until you reboot)! Sorry, but "until you reboot" is not correct. RAM is freed when an application exits. RAM is request by an application from the operating system. So the OS knows what RAM is used by which app. Additionally, the OS...
