FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Not sure if I'm doing the right thing, but I checked in the software center repositories and enabled every repository with "source" in its name, updated the cache and retried, but same message when trying to install the dependencies of minetest. I also did a sudo apt-get update and sudo ap...

Hello everyone, having trouble compiling Minetest! I managed to do it, but it ended up with no sound. I have Linux Mint and I'm talking about the currently last (0.4.12) Minetest version I tried the provided command to install the dependencies: sudo apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cm...

The title is pretty clear. It happens only on run-in-place installs, either in minetest or freeminer, and for stable and dev versions. I have a blank list of mods or public servers, no error in the log. I can however connect to servers if I enter their IP manually. And this bug doesn't happen on my ...

really cool!

Gambit's picture and your talk made me think about this:

(sorry it's in french but enjoy the art!)

I think something like that could be very cool!

hey as I usually do I modified some of the code for my own game so that the mobs would drop the items when killed by an arrow (from throwing mod), instead of losing it, and found it much funnier, because now hunting has a point In mobs/api you just replace the : if self.object:get_hp() <= 0 then ......

Nice! could you make the inventory squares closer? This way, we couldn't click between 2 squares having to take again the item we want to move. (I'm not always precise when I click and I find this annoying)

I am almost certain I have named some textures incorrectly and again I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes

but but but why don't you test it yourself then? I like this btw

hello, I've been playing with this model like you all and made a little car mod with only the green car. I tried to make it climb slabs, but it's glitchy. I started from the boat mod. Say if you like and add it to your git (I'm not very familiar with it yet) https://mega.co.nz/#!FRAz2DzY!CloAM3XUnF7...

I use Ubuntu 13.04 (and run MT with it) on my Packard Bell Easynote TS and it works good. I managed to use optirun with my nvidia card and since, I don't have to use W7 to run minetest.

I can't get the sheep to follow me! I do my best, and I checked the code and it seems to work but it doesn't in game.

I agree with MirceaKitsune, it would be easier to fade out the sounds if they were played from a node. But only some nodes, to avoid having a hundred sources. And I think it would be great to make the sounds quieter when the player is inside a building or a cave. Like when there is a node between th...

make floods

Place a single water block, that otta do it :p

really good idea! Maybe not water sources to avoid the map to be permanently flooded but if it's possible half-filled water flowing blocks that would flow, spread and vanish.

Ok just waiting ^^ I already improved my shaders to make the dark more blue (the code was already there I just changed some figures) and the torches more yellow (idem) and it adds a lot of magic to the game so I think a good use of shaders could really add something!

Did you make the musics yourself? I really like those tiny cool mods

Maybe you could enable collision to avoid the problem of the rain inside glass buildings? I wonder also if there is a way to avoid the particles facing the player, it's weird when you look up at the rain. A workaround could be to make rain more like small round drops, this way it wouldn't look bad w...

Jeija, is it only me or your minetest only adds waves to water? (which is cool already)

i have unfinished monster pack for minetest
-Giant ogre-done
-Lizard-done
-Birds (three kinds)-not done
-Fireflys-not done
-And a secret one^_^-not done
ill try and work on them soon i just been working on some Ps3 projects i have so ive been putting off my minetest work.

seems amazing!

ok, solved the problem: (p is a player) local yaw = p:get_look_yaw()*180/math.pi p:set_look_yaw(yaw) still 2 things: This code locks the camera and it's buggy, and it's not very logical that get_look_yaw gives the yaw in radians and that set_look_yaw takes it in degrees..

code's already written - boat mod. Yes but boats are very hard to drive and also don't turn well when moving back (they don't turn like a car). So it needs some alterations! I say this because I used the helicopter mod and the author kept the same code and it was really hard to drive. I really like...

I'm having trouble with this function: when I do this:

(p is a player)

local yaw = p:get_look_yaw()*180/math.pi
p:set_look_yaw(yaw*math.pi/180)

it actually shakes the camera around, it's really weird.

(same thing when I modify pitch)

[edit] corrected an illogical variable name

one word: amazing!

+1 for the middle mouse button!
I think this would be awesome if we could "draw" the shapes of the recipes like in minecraft, holding the left button

These torches are regularly dropping torches items in my world, don't know why. (awesome mod by the way ;)

love that mod! Thanks to you guys!

thanks for the sounds! In fact I think they didn't move but I couldn't find them :)

Snow is very buggy in the new version of minetest (0.4.7): I have decorated pine and other random textures from the mod on the snow.

How do you use get_player_control()? I try to use it but it gives me nothing. for example, when I do this: minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime,player) for _, p in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do controls = p:get_player_control() minetest.chat_send_player(p:get_player_name(), #con...

Well, back when I started playing Minetest, it was a short Irrlicht example source file. It had a mesh spinning at the middle of the window. I thought it was boring and figured out how to generate and render an editable voxel world in it and then it got pretty fun. I think it was around October 201...

how do you change the sounds? I used to put my sounds in minetest/games/common/mods/default/ but it doesn't work anymore.
