Re: [modpack][wip] MB Trees
This is a nice idea for a smaller tree. It uses a simple fence post as trunk, but looks great

Sound API
I think about a new sound API that is a little bit more common and flexibel than the current one I propose a key/value table with a table of sounds as value and some functions. The table could look like this registered_sounds = { {"wood_sounds", { footstep = <SimpleSoundSpec>, dig = <Simpl...

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
I can understand both sides. In one side are the core devs. They have limited time and won't get payed for their work. They can't implement everything a modder or game Dev wishes. On the other side are the game developers who can't make the game they want because of the limitations of the engine. I ...

Re: Field of view (FOV)? 72 degrees?
Minetest always feels a bit odd with the default FOV. Minecraft has nearly the same value (70), but it looks different IMHO

Re: Modifying and using schematics
There is no mts "editor". You have to convert mts to lua. Look at my code for an example
https://github.com/MarkuBu/minetest_mod ... e/init.lua
I would recommend to use the lua schematics cause they are more flexible to use. Take a look at this code how I use them

Re: Post your modding questions here
can it be applied to an object which will open and close? Not sure what you mean. Any example? The idea of VoxelManip is, that you can get a part of the map (a chunk or a part of the chunk) as array. You can change the data in this array and write it back. But the chunk has to be generated first an...

A more reliable method would be voxelmanip and do multiple nodes. Hmmm, I have not ventured into using voxelmanip yet.

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)
What is needed that dungeons are generated with cobble stone? I made a minimal subgame and I don't get any errors, but dungeons are generated with stone.
The same issue exists in the minimal development game. Cobble node is registered, but not used for dungeons
