FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi Morn!

I should definately try compiling it on an older mac then, to see if that's the issue, BUT:

two of my scientific papers has recently gotten accepted :)
which means I have to spend all my time on small revisions :(

Hello!
Just checking in.
Hoping to have time for some minetest hacking during the christmas break!

Well at least someone (mostly you) have documented lots of the snags.
I'm hoping for an influx of new OSX people now that Minecraft has been sold to Microsoft. Maybe more users would lead to OSX friendliness in the trunk.

Still following this thread. Thanks Morn!
I'll be back!

Thanks again for all your work Morn76, you're the best!

Thats Great! Nice that the other Programmers are now involved.

Now with RealBadAngel's much improved node shading algorithm:

That looks really nice! Haven't been active for a while, but nice to see you're still developing the mac port :)

I've been interested in the theoretical parts of game design for a long while and found the wiki page tvtropes.org just recently. It contains classifications of common elements in all kinds of media and fiction, interactive and not. It turns out none of my own ideas are in the least original, but at...

Managed to compile when I removed freetype and leveldb from the cmake line.

I made a complete erase and reinstall of OSX and still cannot run the script. Haven't figured out why yet, but its got something to do with the library paths.

This isn't a problem with the code, but I figure I might get some help here anyway: After reinstalling the operating system, I can no longer use the script to build minetest. It seems like some paths like LIBRAY_PATH has not been set. I've managed to set the library path manually using EXPORT for so...

WOW!!!

Yup! You get some neurons, superglue and a household atomic force microscope and then, from the medulla and outwards, gently extend the dendrites to ...

No, trying to make a simple "AI" as an input option besides random and user controlled in minetest.

Thankyou! I was just sitting down for my third attempt at fixing that. Now I can continue my project to make a brain instead :)

Uh, guys, not to be a party pooper but I made this thread so multiple people can showcase their creative mob concepts. It was not made to talk about development. As I stated in the OP, dev discussion should be PM or begin a new thread about it. But discussion about the digital rights of images fit ...

Cool with me, I only made it to encourage other people to post their stuff.

Thankyou! That got it working. My tutorial:decowood still can't find the texture image, but that may be my own fault.

Jordach wrote:Have you tried configuring a world to enable mods?

No, I didn't know that was neccessary. How do you do that?

Not directly related, but it seems mods are not loaded. They register in the "mods" tab if I put them in Library/Application Support/minetest/mods, but in-game they don't react to commands and are not listed when typing /mods in chat. P.S. But obviously some mods work since all the basic s...

Tried to write a lua script to look at variables, only to find there is no mods directory to put it in :( I'll try to figure out where it goes.

Cool! Are you using the image from the blend file or making a new one?

Its possible that this is not a jsemaphore problem but that the os.tempfolder variable is set wrong. Its only used in mainmenu, modmgr and modstore.lua.

:D

Is the Lua problem and the crash related? Even when it finds the correct files it crashes.

When trying to access the online mods after starting from command line, I got Computers-MacBook-Pro:MacOS me$ ./minetest Bundle resource path: /Users/me/minetest.app/Contents/Resources/bin Irrlicht Engine version 1.8.1 Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Thu Jan 16 19:40:37 PST 2014; root:xnu-2422.90.20~2...

Ran into a crash when I tried to get online mods, under the mods tab: Process: minetest [22393] Path: /Volumes/VOLUME//Users/*/minetest.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/bin/minetest Identifier: celeron55.minetest Version: 20140429.4b44d35 (20140429.4b44d35) Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: ...

Made this yesterday too. Its completely useless for Minetest and has quite a few mistakes but its slightly entertaining.

How about when dead animation and try to test walking animation by really moving. I won't do anymore improvements to this one, mainly made it to encourage people to come up with more MOBs.

Just post the texture here and I'll put it in the figure.

Managed to make a little animation with the Water Dragon.

Yes, I know it should probably be in water.
