Re: [Mod] Translate Item Definitions [vortoj]
I started with a toki pona translation. It is very hard to express things like "bucket of lava" in toki pona but it is fun to find a solution: "poki telo li jo e telo kiwen seli" This is actually a sentence "container liquid has liquid stone fire".

Re: Square pixels formspec
I would guess it is the same bug that makes the hearts look distorted. I was surprised to see 0.4.11 released without fixing that.
Have you also tried it in version 0.4.10? If it is the same bug it should work there.

Re: I hacked the Android build for a day - Feedback needed
On Moto G. Android 4.4.4 As a user I always prefer to install from f-droid rather than google play. So I would be happy to see Minetest on f-droid first. I don't test android versions that often, so I will say everything I noticed, no matter if it is a known issue or not. First I was not able to con...

Re: Modder feedback needed: MT Schematic (.mts) file paths
As far as I understand it gets currently loaded the same way as textures, models and sounds. I don't understand exactly what you want to change. Can you please try to explain it to me?
And why can't the schematics be in plain text (and then get converted on startup)?

Re: [Voxelgarden] Unter Null (just ocean)
Sorry. I won't post a whole map. Those players probably build far away because they don't want their house to be found that easy. But I guess with the server progressing those get found again and probably someone will connect them to the rest. It is beautiful to see how with the core island growing,...

Re: Post your mod requests/ideas here
You could also run a second minetest game and record from there. There are no changes for the engine needed for that and no mod.
What would be interesting is a mod that helps you doing tracking shots by teleporting and changing the look direction.

Re: Mob/NPC API
Currently all those mods come with their own mobs and own core code, there is no standard api. What I did it to take the existing - sort of - standard of the simple_mobs code and make it accessible.

That is what I tired to start with "mobapi" . But I don't have the time to develop this and there are no other contributers. So it is not that much different from the API that is included in simple_mobs. Also there are many things that better should be done in the engine (Like tool wearout...

May be less work, but you still have an even pattern without putting in some kind of randomization no matter how uniform you make a texture.

[Mod] Rotated textures [rot_texture]
This mod rotated some nodes with mapgen (only on the surface) and when they get placed. This gives the game a much better visual appearance, eliminates the gird and slows down mapgen. This is just a proof of concept and quite hacky, so don't use this on existing worlds without making a backup. depen...

Re: Promotion
There is the general rule that, the better your material is, the less work you have to put in it to get a good result. Of course rotating, alternating and random textures would be a good feature, but it is less work when you learn how to eliminate the grid. With alternating textures you just redo th...

In formspec "list[context;fuel;2,3;1,1;]" What am I supposed to use as "context"?
@ Linuxdirk, the mods only run on the server and they only run once independent from how many players there are. Maybe post a part of your code, so the problem becomes clear.
