gonna need to download gimp. I was using paint.net(really like the way tabs are done with it).

thanks for the answer. transparency option is for all .png files right?

I am in the process of bringing dokucraft from minecraft and I have a little problem. My problem is the crack/break animations. Minecraft uses the crack in a grey background and minetest has no background(only the cracks). Could it be possible to mod the cracks part of the code to read the grey as i...

First minetest would need to reach a point were celeron could say its stable and the engine complete. After that Im sure modding can do everything else. Of course many things would have to be done like: Worlds are not infinite in any axis. Worlds would need to be round, meaning you walk on one direc...

So I have gotten interested in minetest again after an extended period of no minecraft related things. I usually just walk around, build some houses or structures and move on. I also decided to import(is this the right word?) Sphax somethingcraft texture from minecraft to minetest and its great. I m...

newest dev version but I repaired that error.

minetest uses dirt blocks for everything and both side grass and grass textures work as stickers placed on top and sides of dirt block. I had to edit side grass to only include the grass and not dirt as it was originally.

thanks for that, would have save me minutes of tinkering around. now my furnaces have top and bottom. same texture but its ok.

description = "Horizontal Jungletree", tile_images = {"default_jungletree.png", "default_jungletree.png", "default_jungletree.png", "default_jungletree.png", "default_jungletree_top.png", "default_jungletree_top.png"}, Is that example the way to tell how a block will have a top side? are blocks side...

You could try to include the nether at a sufficiently low location in the normal worldgen. I think the way terraria does it could work considering this game has thousands of blocks down and up. It would be great because it removes the need to create another realm and you can just focus on the one wo...

What's happening here is that the blocktype was changed when the tree was placed, from dirt_with_grass to just dirt, leaving that nasty lil artifact there for all to see. Oh, you mean the trench. Methinks the mapgen is a little funky. :-) yeah I meant the trench, it keeps going for some hundred blo...

Gimp, Paint.Net, Photoshop all this are used to create textures from scratch. All you need to do is find or decide on the cartoon style, texture size(16, 32, 64, 128, etc), and finally start working. It also helps if you have a list of all texture names you will need: default_grass_side, heart_heart...

ohh ok

as I have been playing and walking around I keep coming across things like in this picture.

they sometimes are only 1 dig trench or 2 connecting into a +.

ok gonna try it out. Would need some information first or we need to come up with a sort of standard.

How do you measure the blocks? by pixel?
how big is the player character? 2 blocks high? is the character even a model?
in what file type do we save or work in?

what about:
/modlist for showing a complete list of all mods you have installed.

I wouldnt really like for minetest to divert manpower for a gimmicky new realm when it could be added to standard world.
want a lava underworld? have the game world generate that in something exaggerated like -5000 from surface.

There is a program made for minecraft that allows you to make models. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/200676-modeler-techne-looking-for-help/ could they be imported from there into this game? Its very easy to use and its designed to makes things for minecraft. Not really sure if that's necessar...

I tried with another texture pack and it was ok, no problem.

default_grass_side

same name, I copy/pasted the name just in case. Dont Know what to do.

edited first post for screenshot of problem

- Grass blocks dont show the grass side texture(default grass side), it is showing default_dirt

Adding mobs could be done in a hit an miss way. Make both passive and hostile type mobs and include in the game for us to test out, remove those that don't work out and each new patch include another set of mobs plus the community fixes to old ones. Mobs could be taken from real life counter parts, ...

The world map remains full blocks. The player is the one that crafts half blocks and quarter blocks from the natural full blocks.

This saves the game from needing to include this new block types into the world generation equation.

Hello guys I just voted, rather late, for this game in the Indie of the Year awards over at IndieDB. http://www.indiedb.com/games/minetest If you like the game vote now. Its not only about winning, this event can bring some publicity to the game and bring in new players. Every vote counts, Vote Now!

The looping would be a good idea. If the world loops seamlessly, then the world size could be restricted to several thousand blocks without it seeming too small. This would be good for server operators who don't want ginormous world sizes. For the server, with a small enough world, it could generat...

Tutorials would be great to get started on modding. I know i would use them.

You need to write down all your sites with accounts info in a notebook or a word doc. helps a lot.
