After i was finished... http://imgur.com/aV16KEo.png I made it up to level 6 it so very hard to survive i was hiding in the cave Here are a couple of tips to help you survive: 1. Collect apples. 2. Collect sand or dirt to use to quickly build small towers to avoid bombs. (1 block wide, 1 block long...

Thats cool you like them Jonathan, they would be a little faster as C++ core mapgens but the effort, hassle, complexity and politics involved in dealing with C++ and core Minetest still outweighs the 1-2 second per chunk speed gain for me. I feel my direction is to do what i do best and work on lua...

I have seen some of paramat's mods and I would have to say I am very impressed. I would like to see at least some of these incorporated as additional options for map generation in the default game. I am also assuming if they were incorporated into the engine they would be significantly faster. Any t...

Don't do a bad job just to save compatibility.

+1. I agree.

Well, I prefer sand instead of gravel because you can pick up sand quicker than gravel (Some of the sand I will reuse after I have gotten rid of some of the lava). Also, I sometimes have more of a demand for gravel than sand for building projects. You get glass from sand. Is that included in that s...

Lava used to not be a finite source. Is there a line you can use in the minetest.conf file to make it infinite? I tried "liquid_finite = false" but that did not seem to work.

Seems more like an adventure map than a mod.. quite interesting though.... It kinda is. It blurs the line between maps and mods (Also, you could possibly even argue that it is a game type :P). What is nice about it though is it can be used with any map. Some maps though will obviously be more fun t...

This seems like it could be a really neat mod! Especially if it does not "tunnel around obstacles", explodes more realistically than the other explosion mods, and does not lag horribly. FYI, I could not get any of the TNT types to explode for me. I could place them, but I could not find any way to ...

FYI, there is a total of 15 levels.

Tip: Collect apples to help you survive.

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

unlimited_player_transfer_distance = false

in minetest.conf.

From what I can remember, you could still see the name if they were close. I would love to have the ability to either configure the distance (so I could set it to 0), or turn it off completely.

Glad you enjoyed it :). By the way, what level were you able to make it to?

Nice! Keep up the good work!

Known Bugs: ⋅ Turrets and intruder alarms will shoot their owner. I have a solution for your turrets shooting their owners (My comments show the changes I made to the abms): minetest.register_abm({ nodenames = {"camo:player_turret"}, interval = 2, chance = 1, action = function(pos, node) ...

From what I can remember, the only thing bombs do not destroy is obsidian.

Nice volcano though! :)

This is the texture which I was using: Here you could get it. The TNT on the first pictures has an old texture. That was the TNT from "The Great Bombing Run!" this is a different mod that has multiple types of TNT, and is basically a game. You should try it :). You can either create a new map and u...

A spin off of The Great Bombing Run! has been created.

You can find it here: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6178

Note: This spin off does not contain planes, that is coming later. :)

WARNING: Do NOT install this mod in maps you do not want destroyed! Finally, it's finished! The nuke dropper is here. Basically it is a game. How many levels can you beat? Can you beat all levels? Note: I would not recommend staying in the water too long. You never know what might happen :D. FYI, I ...

You cant disable a mod of a game (e.g. you cant use minetest_game without the "wool" mod). Why not allow the same setting for mods in the world's game directory, but default the game mods to "true" if the setting isn't present? This would allow users to add "load_mod_wool = false" to the world.mt f...

Cool! I figured I would mention it since I did not see any reports of it yet.

I am having an issue with PilzAdam's build ab43377-scriptapi. When you have more than 1 apple in a stack in your inventory, and you eat one, it multiplies after removing one apple. Example: 3 apples in stack. Player eats one. Now player has 4 apples. FYI, I am using Windows 7. Does anyone else have ...

This should do the trick: local add_node = minetest.add_node add_node({x=x,y=y,z=z},{name="default:stone"}) I'm curious, why does this make adding a node faster? In scripting languages practically everything is a hash map (Javascript,Python,Lua,Ruby,etc). This means "minetest.add_node" performs a l...

This is a great map! :D Still haven't managed to find a bunker though. (even when flying with noclip :P) I only spawned at the first one. I have never been at the second one. You won't spawn in the bunker anymore. The newest version does not spawn you in the bunker, and the bunker locations have be...

Another sneak peek :D
