I have managed to do this, https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5376, but I can't make a distributable version, it has to be built on a computer with all the right dependencies in the right places.

Here's a mostly working version of 4.7 for osx: https://github.com/Omnistudent/osxminecraft/ branch working_compile10nov You can get it by making a new directory and running git clone -b working_compile10nov https://github.com/Omnistudent/osxminecraft/ minetest The main problem was in porting.h, whe...

I am making one now so, just wait and see.

Nice with someone who does something instead of just coming with brilliant ideas about what others should do.

Try to look into compiling a bit. Someone else compiling for you gets more complicated as libraries have to be included, but if you or your friend do it yourselves we can proably help with the snags.

Maybe instead of posting sarcastic answers you could help me out. i am trying to get a build for a friend. he can get everything compiled until he gets to Irrlicht. Download Irrlicht 1.8 and compile it for 32 bits. Compiling Irrlicht was easy in Xcode and if you get problems I might be able to help.

Nice! You sir are an explorer of rank!

Tried it, sucks balls.

What do you mean? Slow?

Open Source Software is a hobby for many of us here. We are not being paid to implement things. If you think you could contribute a little code instead of complaining, that would be very much appreciated. +1 Or some documentation, web site construction, graphics, algorithms, links to game dev resou...

I really think that Minetest needs to expose functions via a library MEANT for such development. Its funny how you claim to know no code and yet manage to express opinions about coding that are way above my understanding of programming. By "know no code", I don't mean I don't know how to program. I...

Bot is coming along nicely and can now follow a player, equip items from a chest, and dig. Its gotten time to deal with an annoying problem: the bot refuses to move outside a certain area. I think this means the nodes outside a certain preloaded area are unknown to the client, and that the bot there...

No. Again, I barely know what you are talking about, I'm new at this.

Nice post 4aiman! I disgree with this sentence though: 'By the time one of those who can't will learn all of that and will be ready, Minetest already would have all that things that forced people to study C++.' There is such an incredible amount of work that can be done on Minetest that C++ skills w...

Awesome! I'll take a look. Can you try to limit dependencies that aren't needed and maybe make some control over pipes or sockets or something? Nope. I can just barely get the program to do what I want! The dependencies are the same as for minetest (so far some Irrlicht functions are still used eve...

Here's a link to my files. Everything is still called Minetest instead of Minetest-clienteer.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r5jw2enfq22ullu/CUNvpDLmDL

Uploading the files to a dropbox folder now - tried to upload it to github but don't have the brains for it. It will probably take some time to make sense of the files but I'm here to answer questions. If you like it, we can build on it together on github. I think I've already done the hard work, wh...

The thing is, I gave u[ on network communication before this progress occured. Would you like to have my files? They're basically the minetest source with some stuff added or commented out, but makes a bot that can tell the material on nodes around it, loop through active objects (like other player...

I havn't seen the new MESE, but I never liked the black-and-yellow lettered one. It ruins suspension of disbelief.

That's pretty cool, and also the complete opposite of what I'm doing:

I'm trying to get RID of all the graphics in my bot program, while you pretty much only want to use the graphics!

Not sure I understand, but image recognition is cool in any case! It would be very cool to have MOBs using image recognition to spot players! That's overkill. Why scan an image to find a pattern when you have the player position/looking direction and surrounding nodes readily available from the com...

So are planning to get the graphics from the client and then process it with image recognition?

Nice, thanks!

double LOL!

Second attempt :

LOL :D During my attempts to make a "follow" function, the (now 3D) bot got scared of me and ran into the sea. Progress report: Adapting the 0.4.4 code to my changes was way easier than I thought it would be. I used the splitdiffwith function in macVim (editor of choice). Some chunks of new code per...

No need to bash Minecraft. Not many games are so good I'm interested in their open-source alternatives.
Bad players happes when you get enough people together, regardless of what game it is.

UPDATE: I finally solved a bloody "bus error" that almost made me give up. It was probably an audio function that got a NULL pointer, since sound is disabled/commented out. I now have a program that logs into my server with a player that jumps around randomly (there is a ready-made function for rand...
