FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I would only use the "Minetest" name only if I used the Minetest codebase, as someone else already suggested.

(EDIT: sorry for the truncated post)

Did you also draw the player, cactus, oerkki and book textures? These and some others look a lot like the default textures. Nobody is perfect. EDIT: I'm right now making another version and I will edit every texture. Well, I was just asking, because for the 0.4 version I only need the textures whic...

You _might_ like my patch disallowing empty passwords: http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/commitdiff/bc6ba901f686d99d042e1981ed14ca28bfe1dabf

Nice! I turned it into a mod (i.e. something that's technically a mod but still only contains textures) for use with 0.4-dev: http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/shortlog/refs/heads/simple_pack (click where it says "snapshot (tar.gz zip)") Did you draw the torch textures yourself?

How is this related to cheating?

Ok, so I notice that when I make my client go fullscreen, most of the inventory images disappear. If this happens to the textures which are supposed to be shown as cubes in the inventory, and you like compiling stuff have have someone who compiles minetest for you, then you might want to try these ...

So what exactly is so stupid about this conversation?

Are you looking through anaglyph 3D glasses?

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

This can also be due to the server sending data to slowly upon connecting.
It should show a nice warning in this case, instead of just crashing, that's a bug.

That's the issue.
Does it work with fast servers, or a server standing in the same room?

@rinoux: Are you using DirectX on Ubuntu or does it just look like that?

To remove unknown items and entities, you could try /clearobjects.

What's the server address?

Also with the texture I'm using for the fences it lines up perfectly :D where as before it was always a little off on the bars.

Care to post a screenshot?

Thanks!

Nice work, although this patch shouldn't require people who just want to play locally (single player) to enter a password me thinks. It's not all that easy to decide. People might start a world in single player mode and then use it for a public server, although one could argue that admins should ju...

My patch is now available via git at http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/shortlog/refs/heads/empty_pass

I changed the renderer to also draw fence bars between fence posts and solid nodes, in addition to the fence bars between two fence posts. http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/meta:/fence.png The code: http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/shortlog/refs/heads/fence Feedbac...

Any updates on this topic?

@kahrl: Thanks!

Part of a solution may be to disallow new players with empty passwords, whose accounts can easily be took over (there's a thread about this in the "Feature Discussion" forum (and a patch)).

To explore the size limits of a Minetest world, I teleported myself around, and to watch the map generator's progress I wrote this little piece of Lua: minetest.register_on_generated(function(minp, maxp) print("generated block: "..dump(minp)) end) When I stand near x=30912, the map generator seems t...

For the "server-hosted sound files" part my upcoming texture cache improvements (not yet posted anywhere) might be useful. (I'm moving the file caching functionality to a separate class to better be able to extend it and do things like caching by checksum and data expiration) But server-hosted sound...

The forum seems to corrupt tabulators (or it's Firefox). I uploaded the patch here: http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/23146175

@Jordach: No, it doesn't (I tested it), you must have misread the patch. The block/hunk you posted stems from the fact that I reordered some of the code.
But I just noticed an actual bug in it: With one_peaceful_monsters set 2.5 times as many rats are spawned (got to fix this).

Maybe updateTexturesAndMeshes could call generate_image with the right options / texture name. (just speculating)

EDIT: btw, you can simulate rtt inavailability by changing line 423 of mesh.cpp.

kahrl, since your update the inventory images of node-like items that don't have their inventory_image explicitly set to minetest.inventory_cube(...) or something else are not shown on my system that doesn't support render-to-target. Slightly further investigation has shown that the "if(rtt == NULL)...
