FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've noticed that some people's replies (mostly those from when the old forum software was used) have blank titles and replies to those are being titled just "Re:", which makes it difficult to tell what topic they're in from a feed reader. Looks like an artifact from the transition. I don'...

How is that worse? There are several other games available.

MediaGoblin is one possibility, though it requires an account. I use http://gobblin.se.

People not using feeds don't know what they're missing. Ever since I started using them, the time I've saved has been tremendous, and I'm able to follow more sites.

Like I said... they only show new topics, not new posts in existing topics.

It is, but that's a topic feed. Not a feed for all posts in the whole forum.

One thing I'm sure many people don't care about since they don't know how convenient it is: phpBB has much better feeds than the current forum. The current one only follows new topics, not new posts in existing topics. wut? wutwutwut? Have you tried clicking on 'New posts' in the top right? That do...

Probably you checked the "'Use' = climb down" checkbox. The "use" key is E by default, so either it switched it to I for you when you made E the inventory key, or you did so without thinking about it. What version of Minetest do you have, by the way? I'm not sure what "special1" is, the menu doesn't...

Though the fact that that one linked to the Minetest source code and didn't try to hide the fact that it's a port of Minetest suggests a non-malicious intent, so maybe they'll correct the problem if they're sent a simple message explaining what they need to do, unlike the "Buildcraft" guy.

Version numbers are arbitrary. Comparing the version numbers of two different projects is completely meaningless.

So only those that know how to compile, know how to get all the needed resources and have acces to a device this can be done on should be allowed to play Minetest? What a stupid statement! "shoo shoo little kid go away 'cause you can barely read let alone code and anyways you don't own a proper pc ...

Everyone ought to learn how to look at the readme and follow directions. Honestly, it's not that hard to compile C++ code that is distributed with makefile generator scripts, supports cmake, etc (unless you're on Windows).

It's already possible to control the mouse with the keyboard, in German, it's called "Tastaturmaus", I think. In English it is called Mouse Keys. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_keys ) Mouse keys is designed for accessibility, not gaming... mouse keys on my system, for example, is a little ch...

This would be a good start for making Minetest playable in situations where a mouse doesn't make sense (on the TV, with a laptop off of a table, etc). It would be even better if Minetest could support gamepads directly rather than having to use software like Qjoypad, but I guess that's harder, so st...

I don't approve since you're choosing to make it proprietary, and I can't use it anyway since it's Windows-only. Re-do it in something that works on GNU/Linux systems (maybe Qt; try the Qt Designer, it's very nice) and release it as free/libre software, and I would be interested.

That's why there's something called improvising so that it can run with whatever hardware it can. The question isn't really whether it's possible, but whether it's worth it . I suppose it would be possible to "port" Minetest to the PS2 by rewriting everything in assembly, and maybe the performance ...

So next version will be 0.4.10, not 0.5? The dot is not a decimal point. Each of the three numbers is completely separate and represents a different level of change. I don't know Minetest's policy for what kinds of changes increment what numbers, but version 0.5.0 should not be expected until there...

AND THIS.

Actually, the reason I don't get rickrolled is because I have ViewTube installed. :) ViewTube blocks YouTube's player and replaces it with a better one.

Heck no! Gnash is crap; pretty much nothing works with it. I don't use Flash at all. I do have Gnash and Lightspark installed, but they're disabled; I mostly have them so that the Flash Video Downloader can discover videos, for those video players that don't have HTML5 fallback (HTML5 fallback is ac...

Can't; Twitch streams can't be viewed without Flash Player or some sort of special Android or iOS application . It doesn't even work with Lightspark; I checked. Twitch has their own application for android and ios devices. Has quite a lot of bugs at the moment, but hey, it's still possible. Emphasi...

That should work. Your local IP address should start with "192.168. 2 ", though (in this last post you mentioned an IP address with the third digit being 1). Did you type the wrong address when connecting with the other Minetest client, perhaps? Side note: you don't need to hide your local IP addres...

Set both ports to 30000.

As for the protocol, I think it's UDP for Minetest; you can try each to find out for sure. Or you can just forward the port for both of them, that will be fine too.

You need to port forward if the host is connected wirelessly to a router. Look up something like "port forwarding <your router manufacturer>". By the way, it doesn't matter as long as it worked, but you didn't need to use sudo for ifconfig, and ifconfig is actually deprecated in many GNU/Linux syste...

You really ARE Drasher's brother. Yeah, I am. I don't know much about her online presence, though, so I don't recognize any significance in this. I guess every non radical open-source advocate is sick and tired of his beliefs. I use Xubuntu, and I don't like what he says about Ubuntu. You mean abou...

Like when you told a modder you wouldn't use his mod because you don't like his license? Yeah, no. I didn't tell someone that a non-commercial license is proprietary to start an argument. I told them that because I felt it might have been accidental, or a misunderstanding of what free/libre and ope...

lol, is everyone who disagrees with you a troll? (or perhaps spreading FUD). It's not my fault your brainwashing makes it easy to point out every contradiction and bending of the truth you post. last I checked patent litigation is as real as copyright litigation.

And I'm sure you understand fully well how completely irrelevant that is, Mr. Troll.

They could file on the grounds that Minetest has similar concepts as Minecraft (i.e its gameplay). Concepts can't be copyrighted. Only works can. Minetest absolutely is not a derivative work of Minecraft; it uses the same idea (ideas can't be copyrighted) and nothing more. It's true enough, though,...
