Player limits for Minetest servers
I am considering using Minetest as a conference competition (details withheld, sorry) and was wondering how many players a server can host? I see numbers in the 10's. what about around 100? All players will be an a local LAN so bandwidth should not a consideration. I have a quad core machine with 8 ...

Good luck! Wasn't this the turret that shoots also its owner? P.s. When you remove the dot . from behind your first github link, the 404 error will disappear Edit: grammar/layout. Thanks for pointing out the dot at the end. Yes, this is the turret that doesn't discriminate against players. :-) Perh...

Devin, you need to be more descriptive. What are you trying to craft and what with? If you have spawned in the world with nothing in the inventory, you need to make some tools. As you can't punch stone, go and punch a tree to get wood. With the wood you make wooden planks. From a wooden plank you ca...

Simple Turret has a new home
After some prompting from kaeza, I have reluctantly adopted Simple Turret, original by Jordan(4ibanez). After finding that the range was short, I extended this somewhat. Range is now 17. Other changes: - FIXED: Missing depends.txt for default - RELOCATED: Moved to git hub https://github.com/georgepa...

lol look at minetest_register_on_dignode and just send the string out the port whenever a node is dug - no need for any endless loops since the endless loop is the game engine itself - whenever a node (anywhere in the game) is dug, the event fires and your code is executed - easy-peasy - i used it ...

I just tried this in singleplayer under Windows with Minetest 0.4.7 (not dev) and it works quite well. I did increase the range that it starts firing from 17 to 24... Look for the line: local objects = minetest.env:get_objects_inside_radius(pos, 7) I took at guess and made it 17 rather than 7. Yes, ...

Minetest interface to the real world
I having been beating my head against a brick wall trying to figure out how to interface a read world device (Arduino via the serial port) to Minetest. https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7491 (Ignore the post by kaeza as it's a red herring... appreciate the humour though :-D ) I have follow...

I played this mod (version 0.4) and enjoyed looking around, though the process of finding the door into the pyramid was annoying as it was buried in the sand and desert stone. I don't have any details to offer of that bug. On the other hand, I did like the idea of a long lost pyramid. Mod Idea: Inca...

Interface minetest to a real world device
I have been thinking about physical computing, namely do something in the virtual world and a real world device changes state and similar for the other way around. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_computing for more explanation. As an example, I'd like to use an Arduino to illuminate a LED ...
