Re: Extreme Performance issues in Multiplayer [Solved]
Multi-threaded support for irrlicht? Where have you heard of that? If its true it would be great but I doubt it is.

Re: Create some IA in minetest
Yeah, when I read that I've thought the same. It would be cool to have a library to create a headless minetest client, perhaps even AI. The idea of a library floats around for some time already, I've found it on a roadmap from c55 from 2011.

Re: ask_reconnect_on_crash
In fact, minetest.request_shutdown is already supposed to work that way you describe it. Most likely its fixed now thanks to your patch!

Re: Planting does not grow
It might be that the admin of your server has disabled catch up for the plant ABM. It really depends on the farming mod used by the server.

Re: Mouse scrolling out of control
What you describe is the classical behaviour for missing pointer warping. It seems xiwi hasn't implemented pointer warping. Wayland has the same issue.

Perhaps the area is too large? Can you test with a small area, one or two blocks large?

Re: Why Doesn't Minetest Use Luajit?
LuaJIT and Lua both have bad memory management. The 2GB cap introduced by luajit is just so that it can stay performant, while lua itself gets slower and slower.

Re: Support of multiple cores
Parts of minetest are multithreaded, parts aren't. First of all, minetest uses irrlicht, which uses either directx or opengl. This means that communication with the graphics card is only possible in one thread. I know that directx has seen some changes recently, but irrlicht doesn't support them, an...

Re: Support for ogg opus sould files?
I think the best argument here would be that one doesn't need the codebooks. For the sound lengths minetest usually uses, they create quite a large part of the file that's right.
Other than that, idk, vorbis is fine I think. Adding opus would increase complexity, that's for sure.

I would do an apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade here, to make sure that causes no problems.
Have you done a sudo apt-get install libvorbisfile3-dev?

Re: [Feature Idea] Prediction System
The server doesn't just send positions or velocity, it also sends acceleration. So the client knows the objects movement at a point to the 2nd derivation. This doesn't help much, as most movements aren't smooth, but have discontinuities at one of the derivations. Once client side scripting arrives, ...

Re: [bug][0.4.13] Weird glass bug

Re: [bug][0.4.13] Weird glass bug
That's thanks to the param2 being non-zero. If its non-zero, the param2 displays some "interior volume level" of some sort. It has been added by commit ea6c3835debfffa22163f048eae57928311143c4 . I don't know why RBA added it, ask him.
But its no bug.
