FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Coming back to Minetest after a couple versions (last time I played was with something like 0.4.6), and starting with your game… (minetest 0.4.10 and Wasteland cloned from github) It’s really nice, I’ve been playing it with some music of Mark Morgan and Edwin Montgomery in the background (Wasteland ...

Debian users, enjoy!
Minetest 0.4.8 can be found in Sid official repositories.

I'm going to give it a try soon ;)

Update: ... This can then be extracted directly into minetest's "/textures/all" directory. Attention: with latest dev-version and coming 0.4.8 version... ... there will be the all folder history... more .... https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=103752#p103752 In that case, you'll just have ...

minetest is trash

Stopped reading there ;)

I'm not sure to understand your wish: anyone can launch a mumble server at anytime, I've done this for a server for three people (minetest and mumble servers on my PC). You don't need to have something "official". If you can't have it on your own PC, I'm pretty sure you can create a room easily on a...

@ LionsDen: Read the post just above yours ;)

I post a copy of the README here, 'cause I've been wondering why I had empty folders in mods/ after a simple "git clone": Cloning with git: This repository uses submodules. In order to get all the parts of the game you will need to run 'git submodule update --init' when you clone and 'git submodule ...

Just don't look at it ;)

People who don't fit leave, that is how a community works.
There is nothing you can do to avoid it.

In folder ~/.minetest/games, run "git clone https://github.com/RealBadAngel/technic_game ". That's it, you're done! For future updates, go in folder ~/.minetest/games/technic_game and run "git pull". Of course, you need to have git installed to have these commands work ;) ----- @RealBadAngel : Are t...

I experienced that kind of lag with some versions of minetest (around 0.4.4~0.4.6), only on a specific computer (not a low-end one) but even in singleplayer mode.
Since upgrading to 0.4.7, I didn't notify any more lag.

You want a minetest_classic game mode?
You can do it, no matter the results of the poll.

It is the point about free software: you can^W should modify whatever you want to make it better.

I think bronze tools are not the real problem here.
Like Calinou said, you don't have to use them.

What I see here is a problem of overcrowded creative inventory.
A redesign of the creative inventory (maybe with categories) would be the most elegant solution.

Copper is part of the default game ;)

If Synaptics means Debian here, Minetest is in 0.4.7 in the Sid repositories.

Nice to know it's doable, but I won't: I had nearly nothing in my inventory.
I was asking merely out of curiosity ;)

Okay, I understand better now. And I think that this bones mod is a pretty cool idea! (a shame I died in lava, my bones probably melted) Being a mod, it should be easy to disable too (I won't ^^). My server will stay vanilla, but I'll probably have a look on your fork on a local game, sounds nice. -...

Hi all! I had the surprise when testing the last version of minetest (pulled today from git) to lose all my stuff on death. Is it a new feature of 0.4.7? If so, is it configurable? Anyway, I will have to be more careful when messing around lava ^^ ----- Keep up the good work, minetest grow in awesom...

Have you tried to launch it from a console to see if there is any error during loading? It takes less than half a minute here to connect to a local server with a dozen mods. Remote connection to the same server from a slow ADSL connection (~60kbps) takes less than two minutes. (latest version from g...

I start telling them about how the engine works. They usually walk away then. That's funny: it's usually when I start talking about the engine that my friends start to have an interest in it ;) The main point that made my brother switch to minetest is when I told him there's not a bit of Java in it...

I never really know which one I use, I git pull a couple times in a month and never bother with version number ;)
On my system I call it 0.4.dev-git-$(date +%Y%m%d) (sexy, isn't it?)

Exploring and building (and mining, and crafting…) are the purpose of Minetest.
Being realistic is not ;)

If you are talking about high-poly meshes, I think it does not go the Minetest way ;)
And if you are talking about high-res textures, anyone can do a texture pack for any mod, including this one.

Post here the whole error message (even in French) so we can help you better ;)

Let me guess: When it's done?

You should try GNU/Linux, from what I have seen MineTest (amongst others) usually works better on it.
(no troll intended (even slightly ^^))

On my server, I have the opposite problem - they grow way too fast and almost out of control, and HEAVILY favor dandelions and cotton (which should be impossible, there's nothing in my code or in PilzAdam's that should be doing that). It has the same behaviour on my server, plantlife and minetest b...

:) http://s60.radikal.ru/i170/1305/92/9d25452ac768.jpg The value you see is here the sum of all of your cores. It does mean the equivalent of 1.01 core is used, obviously from two cores.

The Geothermal Generator (technic:geothermal) can't be crafted with the Diamond from the base game (default:diamond). (looks like other crafts have this problem) Can that be fixed without headache? ----- The crafting guide part still doesn't work in MT 0.4.6, daily build 2013_04_28. It does work her...
