FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Sorry I did not answer. Does the world itself generate? Can you check if WorldDiff is enabled (in the world configuration)? Where have you extracted the files to? Has anyone else tried? I tested it on two different machines and it - quite slow - it loaded. But I might have written the instructions w...

[*] Doing away with biomes in favor of something more generic. The biome concept places artificial restrictions on what can happen at one location in the world, by assuming a fixed, unchangeable set of environmental parameters. This is what bugs me to since the beginnings of the biome system. It on...

I have a spawnarea mod for you.

Sorry, I just realized it was broken. Uploaded a fixed, working version.

Currently there are no seasons.

This one would do it. You would have to write a small mod so you can use it.

Or you could use beds.

@benrob It's not used because it is not actively developed. At the moment it offers little advantage over not using it. People can just include the code in their mod and make the changes they need there. Changing texture should be possible I think, but right now I don't know the best way to do so. @...

This is the modular doors mod of the Voxelgarden subgame. Names and recipes are changed so they don't conflict with minetest_game doors. Crafting a door gives you two door nodes. You can place them on the wall to have them vertically, place on ground to have them horizontally. Several door nodes abo...

It is a known bug. Mapfix helps.

The good thing is: you are. You can start creating new blocks just now. And if you don't know Lua, you will learn it quite fast.

Beside updating everything there are some new features: The mushrooms and iron bars similar to minetest_game have been added. The ironbars are part of the modular doors. This way you can use them as hatches, a balustrade, windows, doors, and iron bars and just everything else you can come up with. F...

It's called a sneak elevator. One of the reasons why minetest is awesome ;)

Yes this is what annoys me too. Some time ago I had a server that hat no protection at all. The main problem was not griefing as a conscious act but people gathering all resources they could get their hands on, including building. The usual was this: A new player joined, looked around, dug all the w...

This code writes a list of all items in the world directory. However, they are unsorted. local function count_items() local number = 0 local file = minetest.get_worldpath() .. "/items" local output = io.open(file, "w") for name, item in pairs(minetest.registered_items) do number ...

I made a temporary fix for that (until it is probably done in the engine): https://github.com/Zeg9/minetest-inventory_plus/pull/4

Oh, look. A reason to play mintest again. Actually this is an aspect of Minetest I was hoping for for a long time. When the engine, becomes more like a real engine, then it will allow for all sorts of games. What is now called subgame, in half of the cases could just be a mod. But with changes deep ...

Key to toggle fullscreen Bounty: $20 (PayPal) Description: Add a key (F11?) to toggle between fullscreen mode. Features required: Add key to toggle fullscreen mode Related Github Issue: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2732 That one is easy: use Linux. Can I have my money now? ;)

[irony]Oh, I see what you did there. You can not use the air sword, but a the same time act as if you do. You try to spread some untrue facts about this mod. I will not fall for this trap.[/irony]

Why didn't we use tabs too?

Thank you Nubm. I just realized there is no crafting to make a hot air sword out of hot air. Made a pull request on github to fix it.

I know, but I have yet to find time to make it faster.

A very old and very slow mod. Because of some strange behaviour it also produces some unexpected terrain.

At the moment the background images does not load. But I like it, it looks so much better without.

First, hightmap. http://screenshot.ru/upload/images/2015/05/01/landup-2015043020913.png Now, screenshots. http://screenshot.ru/upload/images/2015/05/01/screenshot_20150430_214523cb4cf.png http://screenshot.ru/upload/images/2015/05/01/screenshot_20150430_2254495b1fe.png http://screenshot.ru/upload/im...

Fire is already reduced so much that it will not jump more than two nodes wide.

Three in space and one in time.

So, I uncovered an old version of paramats landup mod that I modified back then (0.4.4). I made it run on current Minetest and then took some hours to generate terrain. It turned out as expected. http://screenshot.ru/upload/images/2015/04/26/screenshot_20150426_175158a78f6.png http://screenshot.ru/u...

That might be the result of an misunderstanding. In Voxelgarden wheat only has four stages of growing. When using a texture pack it will look as if it where not fully grown. I might have to break texturepack support on this aspect to prevent this.
