FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

NB. from video I learned that instead of " $ make -j2 " you can type " $ make -j 5 " . 2 is for single core, 5 for dual core Tried it yesterday (I have a dual core). To be honest I don't notice much difference :-D Actually, the number depends on the number of threads you have (you can see it in the...

No, the outline is not supposed to show up. However, I think that would be a nice idea. It would definitely be possible by using a bunch of sprite entities making up the outline of the cube. Here is the //dig command patch: minetest.chat_send_player(name, bp..' Blocks pasted at '..to_pos_userstr(po...

I think it's your own computer :)

Ah, that's great! Thanks for the tip cosarara97, those shadows were really getting annoying. I suppose WorldEdit could do this with the new place_node() and dig_node() EnvRef functions, but IMO there should be a built-in way to do this. AFAIK the light only regenrates if you break it with a tool, n...

IMO those shadows shouldn't exist :)

I found the way to recalculate light and destroy those shadows, but for now it's too slow, so I thought you could implement it in the light command (to make it automatic). Well, the way I found is the following: If we have the following map (viewed from a side): AAAAA AAAAA AAAAA ASSSA ASSSA ASSSA A...

I have a raspberry pi, I have tryed to run the game on it but with no success. The games will work on the device but it is not play able, The FPS is between 0 - 1. The game does run i little better with the older versions of the game. but even the menu is slow selecting a box to tick it take about ...

Finally, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to become of the ''custom biomes'' idea! In combination with the conifers mod (make them only spawn on dirt with snow) it would perfectly simulate a ''snowwy'' biome :D Great job! Well, where I live there are conifers everywhere, and it doesn't snow more than ...

Memory leak in wikipedia: "A memory leak, in computer science (or leakage, in this context), occurs when a computer program consumes memory but is unable to release it back to the operating system.". You get that now? qznc is right... The OS gives every program a space in the memory, and when it fi...

Mine is different, although I don't know what does it mean, although it looks worse to me :/ (just ran in valgrind) ==31278== LEAK SUMMARY: ==31278== definitely lost: 193,454 bytes in 1,385 blocks ==31278== indirectly lost: 15,908,560 bytes in 10,764 blocks ==31278== possibly lost: 35,712,096 bytes ...

I think it's because there are some almost-transparent pixels at the border of the bottle.

The light command still doesn't work for me (although the console says it does), is there any way to recalculate light in the whole world? Those shadows are really ugly...

Una textura blanca quedaría mejor :)

I think that if we wanted to make mods in a fast language it would be better to make them in C++, using shared objects like in some plugin systems. Java is not really fast (my PC runs MC at 5 fps), and both Java and C# would mean a big amount of new dependencies needed by minetest. With java you'd ...

Adding lots of nodes in lua shouldn't slow down the game, but things like animals mod, in which lots of objects (entities?) are controlled are really slow.

Usa minetest.register_on_punchnode(func(pos, node, puncher)). Puedes usar este código como ejemplo: local en_cosa_pegada = function (pos, node, puncher) if node.name == 'mi_mod:mi_cosa' then minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="mi_mod:mi_otra_cosa"}) nodeupdate(pos) end end minetest.register_on_punchno...

Java is ok for mobile devices and that kind of thing, but not for game mods. C# is .NET, and .NET is an evil thing :)

?
If you modify the "default" mod (if that's what you're saying), you must use GPL, because it's part of minetest.

Picture of them

Where's the blockplanet website/git/something?
EDIT: Yes, we need a toilet xD

But i don't destroy, i build with Ade and others persons a village ! =)

You don't destroy, but there is people who does, so what you build could be destroyed one day, that's what he's saying.

There is a ppa repository for ubuntu, if you don't want to compile from source.
Also, you can look here: http://minetest.net/download.php

I think the explosion should destroy weak materials (trees, fences, etc.) in a bigger range than stone or dirt, because it's still unrealistic now.

I'm not sure if that's what you want, but here's a diagram:
-A I-
In which "-" is a mesecon, "A" is the thing which sends the signal (sorry, but I can't remember it's name now), " " (space) is just empty space and "I" is an inverter.

I don't know what's the problem, but you aren't digging too deep.

You have to update minetest_game as well.

minetestserver crashes when starting if it finds an empty file in players directory. I think it'd be better if it told you and removed it instead of just complaining and stopping. I'd write a patch myself, but I find C++ very confusig :S

I tried this command, but it nothing happened http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=24311#p24311

The growing mod :)
