It's coming out when it's ready to. In the meantime, you can benefit from the latest updates by using a custom build. I use BlockMen's Win32 build. For truly bleeding edge, grab sfan's build, or grab a build of proller's Next (from the engine development forum). We don't know when it'll be stable en...

Rwhat? Oh, remote console, as in server commands. This mod has shops and has a list of commands that server admins can use.

Should be fine.

No. Irrlicht dropped PPC support a few versions before the version Minetest uses. Sorry. If you really want to play Minetest, I suggest trying it in a VM.

No idea. Could it be GetText causing the issue? I'd remove locale, and it should run in English just fine.

I was going to say "Compile?" but it looks like you've sorted it out. 0.3.1 doesn't support mods (boo), so that was a chase after a phantom. Compiling is the best way to ensure you have the latest and greatest Minetest experience. :-)

If you have textures - non-minecraft - send 'em my way. I'd like to update my clothing mod!

How 2D mobs work? Is there limits on animations? I want to make a minetest game inspired by the early first-person games( ex. Doom, Catacomb 3d,etc.) [spoiler]Catacomb 3Dhttp://i.emezeta.com/weblog/videojuegos-shooters-fps/catacomb-3d.png[/spoiler] Before you contributed 3d models to Simple Mobs, i...

My pleasure.

:-/ I've had older unofficial builds crud out on me with XP. I'll stop shilling soon, honest, but I fully recommend giving BlockMen's Build a try . Be warned that it is built from the dev versions, so there might be incompatibilities with older servers.* Since it's newer, it brings a bunch of nice f...

I've never encountered that issue.

What OS, and what build are you running (official? what version?)? Information helps, 'kay?

In a steam punk universe, internal combustion engines - like those in cars - never happened. Instead, the world got more efficient steam engines, and analog mechanisms became smaller. I imagine gigantic robots, better vehicles- basically, like the Roman Empire era, except with vehicles.

And "robots".

A little feedback from a half-baked user. The Guard: Works well. I love having somebody to watch my back. The interface could use some work - give him an inventory of his own, with a weapons slot, armor slots, and maybe the ability to carry a few additional items. A screen with mob targetting button...

http://pinetarpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/beating-a-dead-horse-2.jpg Lay this one to rest :P In the past two years i've seen plenty of moves to emulate MCs' gameplay, and every once in a while everyone chants in unison that we are not copying MC, even though it's plainly obvious that we ar...

The problem is that the server missed a few packets due to lag. When the latest packet hit the server, it looked at the previous position and the new position and went "Aha! You can't move that fast." The protocol doesn't have lag-correction, so the server doesn't know that time passed between the t...

Minetest sure isn't Minecraft. Minetest is open source and free, while Minecraft is proprietary and paid. Minetest is written in C++ while Minecraft is written in Java . Minetest has a modding api , while Minecraft does not . While Minetest is a Minecraft clone, it is based on early Minecraft gamepl...

*sigh*

Use skincraft for your skinning needs. Stu has released the NPC Framework - see it here - which makes creating NPCs much much easier! Go check out his code. There's an API to easily add new NPCs. :-)

Yeah, you can edit. Look in the "actionbar" beneath a post, to the right, and you should see Edit on your own. :-)

Mossmanikin's Memo Mod would be excellent, combined with a modified Prestibags mod , and the bookshelf inventory code. So, there's an idea, and it's quite quite feasible. In fact, I think it's quite doable as a modpack (memo, bookshelves, "prestibooks"). The only real work would be to override the ...

... True.

@oxen:
Change the "video_driver" setting to be equal to direct3d9. Problem.... solved!

Oh, good honk.

Listen up, mate: install video drivers, and then try BlockMen's DirectX build. It's pretty much the best, up-to-date build out there.

Skins mod by Zeg9. You're welcome. Off you go, mizz(!)

My clothes mod more or less stalled, in part because I suck with models. I didn't want to break the skins, either.

Um. Did you try the BlockMen build? Go into options, turn off shaders, and it might run faster.

Early versions of Simple Mobs do just that: add back in the old mobs. The old way was actually better, CPU wise. Celeron took them out because he wanted to make it simple to change every aspect of gameplay. The old sod never did get around to making a proper Mob API, so they're more or less out for ...

That, and you might want to try an unofficial build - I recommend BlockMen's DirectX build. It should generate the world much faster, plus it likes DirectX, so you'll eke out better graphical performance.

Um, I have a similar machine. It could be that the video backend is eating CPU - try BlockMen's DirectX build - or it could be the network. I'd blame the backend, myself; I've only witnessed major slowdowns on an ancient dualcore with ~5 players. Minetest does take full advantage of the CPU when it ...

N-no, nothing like that! You see, I compiled a build myself - instructions are available in the forum and in the Readme - and I'm much more happy with this than pre-built binaries. Also, there's an advantage: you get to use up-to-the-minute code, which means there are less bugs!

Please try again, with Run-In-Place build.

Here's my take on Kaeza's wiki code. Simply dropped in textures and replaced... well, inserted the nodebox. http://www.filedropper.com/wiki
