FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've been working on building a castle. It's nowhere near complete yet, but I've done a lot of work on the two guard towers and the drawbridges. The moat needs to be extended so it's an actual moat, but it's a start. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=2285 Here's a detail ...

This mod adds a retro gaming feel to Minetest. This adds 3 new blocks, 6 new drops, and 1 new tool (all based on Mario)! Mario interacted with all these blocks using his bare hands, so to keep the tradition in Minetest all these blocks are "oddly_breakable_by_hand" Here's a few images! These are som...

I like it!!

Thanks!

Another new feature!! I thought it would be cool (or rather hot - pun intended) to be able to make a brick out of moltenrock. The recipe for molten_brick is the same as for obsidian_brick, just using moltenrock instead of obsidian. Molten Brick will not revert into lava (like moltenrock does), becau...

LittleBlocks is a mod that allows you to polish up your creativity and optimize your redstone systems. Indeed, the size of blocks placed in a little blocks is divided by eight compared to its original size, so you can place 512 blocks instead of one. Is this even possible in Minetest? That would be...

Edited: 03/26/14 This is a rebuild of an idea I had a long time ago when lavacooling first came out. In the original lavacooling mod, lava could cool to molten rock and obsidian. Lavacooling is now part of the default minetest game (as of, at least, 0.4.9). There is no need to rewrite the book on la...

Just so that others can do it too, I'll explain what I discovered. In the minetest /builtin folder, there is a file called item.lua. I'm not sure where this file is located on Windows, but on Linux it's in /usr/share/minetest/builtin (which is a write-protected location, so you'll have to sudo in o...

Quick question. I made a modpack a while ago, but it no longer works with the current game. After doing some investigation on the problem, I realized that modpacks need to have a modpack.txt in the folder somewhere (based on https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6450 ) I've tried downloading s...

Same issue as above.

When minetest loads, I click on the Mod tab, and click on the "Online Mod Repository"
Program immediately crashes!



I'm using Crunchbang Debian

I THINK you can set the max HPs of players on the fly using ObjectRef:set_properties just like you can update the visual (mesh, textures). I haven't tried it though. Maybe also makes_footstep_sound (for stealthy elves)? I was wrong about the HP thing. I just found a place in the C++ source code tha...

New version uploaded! https://anonfiles.com/file/c481940b2d7d8c80b432df24d7cc8f35 On this version I tweaked the random pick times to make them a little less ridiculous. Pick times still vary wildly, but it won't cramp your mouse finger so much now. Also tweaked Erosion a bit. Stone has an equal chan...

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

Code: Select all

you have to add : before the redefinition of the node.

Oh... I see!

Sound awesome! But anonfiles.com, really? It's not like we need to share this game secretly.. I have issues with Dropbox (my dropbox is basically empty, but although I can upload to Dropbox, they won't let me or anyone else download the file because I somehow maxed out my yearly allotment of bandwi...

I'll zip you up a copy and post it, with complete directions.

Anyone who wants to play this game... the game was released at http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=95609#p95609

I suppose I should request this to be moved to games, so I am requesting... This is a game. This is not a mod. There are several mods inside the game that I haven't gotten around to renaming so they look like other released mods, but I will warn you... don't overwrite any mods in your mods folder w...

On this one RPG game I play with friends, my friends nicknamed me "The Lord of Chaos", because when I sense that I'm losing I become completely random, making illogical moves just for fun and to watch my friends pull their hair out when their well-thought-out plans suddenly derail. I kind of did the...

Working in a new world right now... I'm going to build as many things as possible, taking as long as possible, because I need to test the stability of my mod over a long period of time. The mod I'm working on causes water erosion in Minetest... So when exposed to water, stone has a chance of disinte...

Yeah. I think there's a static_spawn setting in minetest.conf you can set- see minetest.conf.example. The alternative is this thread's tweak to /builtin/chatcommands.lua . Take your pick- and remember to open lua files with Wordpad! I found a static_spawn.lua in /usr/share/minetest/builtin but ther...

Here's the issue: Everytime i play, I eventually get the Update Listener: Invalid Value bug. The only way to play then is to close and reopen the game and teleport back to the map. I like 0, 0, 0 because it's easy to remember. The problem is: whenever I start a new game, I spawn into the new map ran...

Assume we have the itemstack of the tool being used: local level = itemstack:get_tool_capabilities().max_drop_level if level == 0 then -- drop stuff for stone and wooden pick elseif level == 1 then -- drop stuff for steel and copper pick elseif level == 2 then -- not used in default picks elseif le...

You could use the max_drop_level that is defined in the groupcaps. It has no other use. I guess I've never understood what max_drop_level does either. Could you provide a snippet of code to explain how to use it in this instance? Assume we have the itemstack of the tool being used: local level = it...
