FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

What's about this idea: Players who are ghosts can see some kind of ghost structures which normal player can't see. Like old temples, ruins or fortress. Maybe someone can find ghost artefacts with a very, very small probability. These ghosts artefacts could be swords, armors and so on which have no...

RAR is a nonfree format, so people limited to free software cannot open it.

Zip and 7z are both free formats, and in my experience, 7z compresses better. Of course, it depends on the data being compressed...

You can check the license. If it is CC-0, WTFPL, beerware, or public domain, then yes. Those licenses mean you can do anything you want with it.
In this case, it is CC-0, so yes you may.

Yas, I have basically released it and the textures into the public domain. I don't mind at all.

An octree system would allow something like that.

Octrees were used in the game Sauerbraten for multires cube-based worlds.

What do you think would be an efficient way of having a group of NPCs/mobs follow each other around? For example, one NPC "pulls" a large wagon, while others follow.

I updated the mod so adding paintings would be less tedious. Now the filenames are in an array/ table: -- Example: local paintings = { "painting_fluttershy.png", "painting_pinkiepie.png" } To add a painting, you can just add a filename to the table. AMOUNT_OF_PAINTING_TYPES changes automatically .I ...

A capitalist system could work the same as in real life. For example, those with the most of a certain item would be considered wealthiest. However, the value of money is given by those participating in the system. Unless the other players believe the item has value, then the system won't work. If y...

Ancestor?

I think the subject says it all.

Thank ya kindly. :D

I'm working on a mod that generates an underground ocean and terrain... What I want to know is how are oceans made in Minetest-c55? Is there a "default:watersource" at every point on the surface of the water?

I think that would require patching the code for the client. There would need to be a way of creating textures on-the-fly or rendering small letters separately, which doesn't seem to be possible with the modding API.

You put three papyrus in a horizontal row:

P = papyrus

P P P

Papyrus is the green bamboo-looking plant.

I have updated the mod with 5 new paintings :). The new images are all licensed under CC-0, CC-BY, or WTFPL at your choice . You can pick whichever license. sim_paint.tar.gz (emotion edition) sim_paint.zip (emotion edition) Replace the original with this if you want to install it. Enjoy if you can.

is this for the new client?

Yas.

You missed a left bracket on the 'tile_images' line.

Updated to include the strange "groups={...}" thing. Paintings have the same material groups as ladders.

Why you don't call it... ALSA or OSS? xD

'Cause she isn't a sound system XD

Better use this version, it has a ZIP: http://c55.me/minetest/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1279

Also, what is a good way to post new paintings if I make more? Maybe I should just link to my dA?

Is it based on jordan4ibanez Mod?

Yep! The license on that was not stated, as far as I know, so I should probably ask permission. My changes to that mod are under CC-0 or WTFPL, though. Thank you :)

Adds a painting canvas which, when placed, will display a random image from a server-selected list. This (possibly) finalized version is NOT backwards-compatible with previous versions and the Paintings Mod by jordan4ibanez. If you would like a mod that updates those paintings, please tell me. To ma...

You're fast! OK, sim_paint it is.

I'm changing the Simplified Paintings mod so it won't clash with jordan4ibanez's Paintings mod. Does anybody have suggestions for the folder/modname name? Maybe "spaintings" or "simplepaintings"? (trying to keep it short)

That would be great.

I think it could be useful, for example generation of villages that span more than one cell.

Aye.

Yep. :) I call her Isa, because I like the sound, but she can be called anything.
