There are a great many plausible options which can be leveraged right now, with no changes to minetest, including C.

Re: [Modpack] Creatures MOB-Engine [2.0 beta] [cme]
Does anyone know how to make the mobs of Creatures have more health and deal more damage? I would appreciate any help, -Minerz Sure. Each creature has an init.lua file with a def table which defines those values. Change them and viola. See the the api for details regarding the def table (and more).

Re: [0.4.13][not a bug] MESE ore light problem
Mese has been made emit light. It seems many people see this as bug, but its no bug, its intended as feature. ah, thanks for explanation, could this glow be more radial?

Re: Minetest UI en menu look
When we speak about 9-slice, are we referring to normal images with the details of slicing described by external code? Might be simpler and more known to use 9-patch (https://developer.android.com/tools/hel ... patch.html).

Re: [WIP][Mod] More rocks [rocks]
Hey Tomas, This is amazing work. After trying it out a bit, in conjunction with biomesdev, I've got a few suggestions. Ores should definitely be a part of this.

Re: Lighting a large room?

When I first started playing, the lack of powerful lighting really bugged me. But now, with Mini Sun, it's all good ;)

Maybe it should be a highly composite number instead. I mean, I like 100 as much as the next fellow whose native base is 10, but it's divisibility is only slightly better than 99.

Re: Mini Sun, Pesudo Brighter Light Source. Updated.

Thanks balthazariv,
It took a while, but I've renamed the first post. I've also given the mod a license and dependencies.
What I really what now is a better recipe. Something involving Mese perhaps?

Re: [Mod] Glow [1.70]
changes in 1.70 - worms are now their own 'signlike' nodes.
If you're updating an existing install of glow, everything should just work. Old style worms should disappear. New style ones should gradually appear.
