FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

You can use Blender and this .blend file.

Do you not know how to animate textures or is it a design decision? If you need help animating it would be trivial for me to animate flowing water and lava for you. This texture pack looks good so far, except for cobble. No, I'd like the water/lava/torches to be animated (and know how to do it), I ...

I don't think that's entirely true - hMod (2010) and CraftBukkit (2011) could basically be considered server mods, even if they were pretty limited in adding new content to the game.

s*** i forgot them totally...

what are the license for the textures of minetest?

CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported. It allows commercial use and modification, as long as the derived work (the textures themselves) are under CC BY-SA 3.0 or 4.0 as well.

What I don't like about APT repositories is that they're neither cross-platform nor cross-distribution. cornernote worked on a solution using Bower , which works cross-platform and cross-distribution, however it would need better integration with Minetest. Or perhaps we should fork an existing simpl...

In my opinion, this is only viable if mapgens get descriptions in the world creation dialog, and the singlenode mapgen creates a small (eg. 7x7) plane made of a solid node (such as wood) upon which the player can build on when used with minetest_game.

Voting yes, but please keep this in mind.

Try this:



The distance is in "blocks", ie. 16×16×16 nodes. The first one determines the simulation area of entities (default is 2), the latter determines the sending distance (default is 3).

When you install a graphics driver on Windows, you automatically have both OpenGL and Direct3D, regardless if it's Intel, AMD or NVIDIA.

It is "LGPLv2.1 or later" indeed.

Killerz wrote:Another nooby question but......How do licences work?

There's a nice site which describes common open source licenses here.

At this point in time, what Minetest does have is the option of trademarking: I would urge one of the core devs to register a trademark, or for a nominal foundation to be created to own the trademark. The rest should follow pretty ingenuously. celeron55 already considers Minetest to be an unregiste...

Yes, it is possible to add mods after creating a world, however if they impact the map generation, it will only take effect in newly generated parts of the world.

Doing so would likely break all existing Minetest maps, not to mention it would make light computations more expensive.

Minetest is not really suited to a FPS right now, because of the lack of client-side scripting, there won't be prediction for bullets and other projectiles, which means players will have to lead their shots depending of their latency.

You can change keys in the Settings menu of Minetest.

Which fonts are you using on your desktop, especially for window titles?

registration is locked because of repeated attacks of banned players. it should be fixed soon. Is there actual work being done for xanadu or minetest that would prevent future attacks? Not much can be done, this is true of any online game. An unique, per-machine ID could be generated and sent to th...

Well, I'm mainly interested in how often they would update, so how long I'd be waiting for the latest server build. :) Last time I looked at Ubuntu, the latest server version was woefully out of date...

So, How does -AMD A-Series A4 4000 2x 3.0 GHZ (Dual-Core) -4GB RAM sound? Old box was DOA, pretty much. Picked this one up cheap. Can probably add RAM, will have to peek inside once it arrives. Got 16 Gigs of DDR3 collecting dust anyways. The RAM should be enough, but that CPU is very weak, especia...

You could give Fedora Server a try, if you want recent software but still a relatively robust distribution. (Disclaimer: I've never actually used it, but I've heard good things about it.)

Essaie d'utiliser l'application TextEdit pour ouvrir le fichier minetest.conf, il s'agit d'un fichier texte tout simplement.

Normalement, à moins qu'il y ait une faille de sécurité dans Minetest (peu probable, mais ça peut arriver), non.

OK, thanks for the advise! So how much ram would i need? I want to run quite a few mods, such as mesecons, pipeworks, moreores, technic, moreblocks, animals_modpack, unified_inventory, etc. I would advise having at least 2 GB of RAM, 1 GB of RAM might be too few, even if you're running some lightwe...

For 10 players, a Pentium D might struggle quite a bit, even if you're got 2 GB of RAM or more. I suggest you try with that setup, and if it's too slow, try using dedicated_server_step = 0.2 in minetest.conf (it halves the tick rate, from 10 TPS to 5 TPS). Don't forget about network bandwidth too (i...

Then it should be configurable, I don't personally like vignettes much and I don't think any "competitive" player does.
