FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

OK, looks like we can simply always clone with "--recursive" by default, so this is an easy fix. :-)

EdShouldBeInBed wrote:Morn76:
Anyway MT Sync could check if it needs to use --recursive to retrieve submodules from other gits? A few favourites have changed to modpacks with recursive links to their sub mods.

Can you point me to an example mod pack that uses this? I need a test case.

That map is made with Minetestmapper:

The seed is in map_meta.txt (in the map folder):
I'm not sure what you mean by "coordinates to bulk"… (°_°)

Gamma can be changed in range from 1.0 (brightest) to 3.0 (darkest) [ http://wiki.minetest.net/Troubleshooting#The_screen_is_too_dark ] I personally made it little brighter -- from 1.8 (default) to 1.5. But it is, nevertheless, too dark underground. Since December 28, gamma now works the other way ...

Oh I forgot, don't mention that systemd sucks on the Arch forums either. The Arch gods don't like it when their decisions are questioned.

The good news is that installing and running Arch is a piece of cake compared to its touchy forum etiquette. :-)

yeah, i plan to get some form of arch prob not arch itself. i use distrowatch for that :P :D Yes, Distrowatch is very useful to see which distros are up-and-coming. https://lwn.net/ is the other Linux distro mainstay, although some Arch devs hate it because it forced them to finally implement packa...

prehaps i can backup the world and get a new operating system. maybe arch. does pacman have minetest on it??? Yes, it does. Also, Manjaro seems to be getting really popular as a more user-friendly Arch derivative. Not that Arch is not user-friendly once properly installed; especially for a server i...

Rollback is disabled by default because it's quite heavy on resources. If you didn't enable it before using your world, you can't use it. You want to say that I can fix what I have done only AFTER I add enable_rollback_recording = false to my minetest.conf and NOT BEFORE? I think you mean "= t...

So it looks like minetest_game is not installed for some reason?

1) I play in maximized window, not fullscreen but in window (although maximized) in order to switch to something else and do stuff in parallel (for example, reading MT wiki or forum, or play music in background) 2) I have NVidia videocard and open source video driver nouveau . 3) I don't even have ...

If the whole computer freezes, it's probably an issue with the graphics card or driver. I use AMD Catalyst, which seems pretty stable, but e.g. the Intel driver seems to give some people problems. So maybe try a different driver if there is one for your card? Then why does it happen after hours of ...

I think you misspelled Arch, but we all make mistakes sometimes. :-)

I can confirm that does work for directx models, however, for b3d you should probably use this version of the exporter: https://github.com/minetest/B3DExport It was modified by @sofar to automatically unlink the textures, of course, you can do it manually in blender. What's nice about DirectX files...

from https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/3257 According to https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/3257#issuecomment-183187504 , it looks like the solution would be to remove the texture file name from the .x models. E.g. remove TextureFilename {"cow.png";} from cow.x, or even...

Um, they are git repos. Okay, if they can't be git repos, then how do I make sure the most up-to-date stuff is being pushed? You can use git submodules to create a link from your repository to either the latest versions or a specific commit of those mods. But personally I've never done that; I alwa...

On https://github.com/bbmine/noob_academy . Notice the images for the folders "advtrains" and "letters". Also, those aren't really folders. The local repo actually has stuff in the folders. Make sure those subfolders are not git repos themselves. If they are, then run "rm -...

@Wuzzy: Bedrock needs to be added to the immortal group, so it cannot be destroyed.

Morn76: Interesting. Yeah, the legacy add_particle function should definitely be replaced. Thanks for noticing. In MineClone 2 there are still some legacy mods laying around which I have to replace over time. I've fixed my subgame now, it wasn't so bad. I just wonder whether this deprecation of the...

Please file an issue on GitHub anyway. I think the issue is that in our subgames, "add_particle[spawner]" is sometimes not called with a Lua table, but just a list of parameters, which apparently no longer works. If I change the code to pass a proper table, the crash for that particular p...

Morn76: I do not like to support bleeding edge versions of Minetest. Supporting latest stable is hard enough. I just wanted to mention this problem so if the next stable MT release still has this issue, we already know which commit to investigate. As only two subgames seem to be affected so far, it...

What should I do? Compare black-white stripes on left with gray fields on right? And what must be the result of that comparison? How can I estimate approx. equality if brightness visually? You need to move further away from the screen until the stripes on the left blur together into a gray. The ide...

I did the same :-)

And, have you tested your monitor's calibration with the test image?

With recent MT git builds, when I light TNT in MineClone 2 the MT client freezes and consumes 100% CPU. I have bisected this issue, and it looks like this MT commit created the problem: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/7279f0b37335396c85f6bdd7dc67ff56e53df0f9 TNT in minetest_game (which a...

Just put



in minetest.conf.

Are there any tests to find out whether gamma is set right? I mean someting like this. In complele darkness (dig under ground 3 blocks deep and cover the hole with dirt block) set torch under yourself (on floor) and then dig in any direction. How many block away from the torch can I distinguish the...

I was using Arch , and then moved to Manjaro . Arch is for experienced users. Too much work with manually editing config files. But I like things to be ready out of the box. And, on the other hand, rolling release to have latest programs I install. My experience with GUI sys admin tools (such as Ya...

Sergey wrote:You are right. They are Arch based but update with some delay.

Maybe it's time for the training wheels to come off then and to install the real Arch Linux. Manjaro is just a gateway drug to full-fledged Arch addiction. :-)
