Re: [Modpack] 3D Armor [0.4.8] [minetest-3d_armor]
The 'can't move' bug should now be fixed and the displayed player levels should now be updating correctly. Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience. Please note that I have been making a lot of changes recently to improve the api and close some age-old issues. If you are concerned about stabili...

Re: [Modpack] 3D Armor [0.4.8] [minetest-3d_armor]
For some reason, armor doesn't "work" for me anymore. That is, the mod runs and I can put on/take off the armor, but it doesn't protect from anything. EDIT: I can reproduce fireglow's can't-move problem with recent commits, also. Looks there must be a problem with the non-fleshy damage gr...

Re: [Mod] Mountain Climbing [handholds]
I understand your concerns over ABMs but I am pretty sure there are more efficient way to do things like this now, I know too little about node timers to say if they perform any better, However, erosion would be intentionally slow so should not present too much of a problem, imo. I also like the oth...

Re: [Mod] Mountain Climbing [handholds]
As a suggestion, on the point of balance, how about making them 'erode' over time? Essentially just make them disappear very slowly by ABM or node timers. Times could vary between different surfaces. Just an idea.

Re: [Modpack] 3D Armor [0.4.8] [minetest-3d_armor]
I am not so sure, it might be better if the cactus armor had increased protection but much less durability. That would make more sense to me. Like I say, I did not add the cactus armor myself and those that use it know it for what it is so therefore I am reluctant to change things that aren't obviou...

Re: [Modpack] 3D Armor [0.4.8] [minetest-3d_armor]
Cactus armor and wood armor have the identical protection. I just checked it for each piece of armor individually. Even the shields are equal. Wood shield equals cactus shield. And enhanced cactus shield equals enhanced wood shield. So the cactus armor is really just wood armor with a different cra...

Re: Waving objects
No one can really answer that but you, it depends on so many other factors. Try it and see for yourself what your framerate is with and without those features enabled, then translate that into your own perception of 'cost'

Re: How to change default player model?
You'd need to make or use a small mod to do that as there is a bit more to it than simply switching the model file. The official Player API documentation can be found here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/blob/master/game_api.txt#L604 More suggestions in this topic: https://forum.minetest....

Re: [Modpack] 3D Armor [0.4.8] [minetest-3d_armor]
One question, however: Why was cactus armor added? Just for the lulz or does it have an actual gameplay reason? It looks pretty cool for sure but I don't know whay it exists. What is even more strange is that it apparently has identical protection as wood armor. I intuitively expected cactus armor ...

Any chance of introducing an API for managing player armor values? Either as part of your modpack, or as a separate mod (so that people do not have to depend on armor). I am thinking of something like armor_monoid but anything with similar behavior would be welcome. Indeed, that is planned but I am...

Re: Check if an object is in field of view?
You really should use the built-in vector helpers, for distance especially. It still looks to me like a rather inefficient way to accomplish this, though I do not fully understand your requirements.

Someone that know how to calculate / or know where to find code, to check if an object is in field of view? I think it could be something to sneak behind mobs without to be detected.

It is possible to override pages, although more than one mod doing this will cause conflicts Yeah, I agree, if anything the armor tab could include a craft grid, a...

Minetest 0.4.15 now uses sfinv for it's inventory and creative menu's which thankfully can be fixed by adding an armor tab into the mix someplace. I just tried it with a recent-ish (~2 weeks old) 0.4.15 build and it's working for me. The formspec style is horribly out-of-date with current MTG but i...
