FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Quicksand. We need it to make the desert a bit more adventurous/dangerous. You should be able to drown in it too. In some cases, the player could even sink through quicksand into a hidden cavern. From what I've can tell, there is no quicksand mod through out the entire forum; unless I've missed it.

How would I go about making the stiff physics for webs. I want the player to be able to move slowly while touching it?

Hey Lolaks, you're from Sacramento too? I thought I was the only here who played Minetest. Cheers.

How do I change the viewing height (for lack for a better word)? I feel the player visual hieght is too short/low.

Hehaaha!

I wait until the hunger is similar to MGS3's stamina system.

I agree. I just don't like the name hell since hell really means burial ground.

....is that a banana i see? XD

No.

Same can be said for the cloud.png.

There was a post like this in 2012. Well maybe the subject needed to be brought up again, without necroposting. Obviously, the idea wasn't implemented back then, and some of us, like I, would like to see it implemented in a mod or setting. Would you rather us exhume that rotting post from back in 2...

Does Freeminer have an IRC?

Btw, why do we call it Nether? Why not just hell? :D Cause "Nether" is more or less a borrowed name from Minecraft and concept name, so it can be used more universally. "Hell" on the other-hand may not fit for some parents who still believe its still a swear word to kids. Personally, I think Minete...

What's a good way to generate cocoa in jungle trees? I've thought of generating them using the ore structure I'm not to sure that's the best option to choose. I need the cocoa to generate even if the tree was grown through sapling.

Also, what would be the best method for generating pumpkins at well?

See http://wiki.minetest.net/Grass The probability to get wheat seed from grass is 20%. The probability to get grass from grass is 80%. The probability to get nothing is 0%, Gambit. I gathered the data from the source code of the farming mod. The replanting trick works well because the probability ...

I've never read anything about people not receiving enough seeds. Either way I set it up so there are a whole lot of grass everywhere and digging at grass would give me a 10% chance of getting a seed, the rest of the 90% I get nothing.

Here's a visual example in lol form.

This is something came to me the other week and held back knowing there a mod that supports this but after looking this more closely I've decided to talk about it. The "Nether" (or whatever anyone wants to call it) is more so the idea of hell being in the center of the earth. The further you did dow...

A little something to look at...

This might work: minetest.register_abm({ nodenames = {"samhain:lunavesta"}, neighbors = {"default:water_source"}, interval = 5, chance = 1, action = function(pos) for i = -1,1,2 do for _,p in ipairs({ {x=pos.x+i, y=pos.y, z=pos.z}, {x=pos.x, y=pos.y+i, z=pos.z}, {x=pos.x, y=pos.y, z=pos.z+i} } do i...

This is the Samhain Mod http://ubuntuone.com/7WbmyMgf2Jbq2MHMtpkSH1 This mod is designed much like Glowstone from Minecraft only there are two kinds of stones. The first is Sol and the other is Luna. Sol is reference to the sun while Luna is obviously reference to the moon. These two sets are of co...

The answers to that poll are quite biased.

Of course it's biases, it's a question about the annoyance of spawning in water, not the pleasure. :P

Playing Vanilla Minetest, does it bug you when you start a fresh new world and the first place you plop right down into is water? And we're not talking about water close to some island, we're talking about in the Ocean water far from the island. When you die, you spawn right back in the water where ...

ME!! I WANT! I watched all your episodes. ;D

Yes I have and it's not very easy for someone like me to understand.

Of course there is.

Can anyone explain the L-system to me in an almost elementary way? I've read the api and I can't understand it very much, if not at all. I just need a breakdown especially the terms they use.

What skin you have in mind? Because I must admit, the design WAS inspired by Gtk+2

This is true.

The Pixelbox Fun Pack has been Updated. Grass colors are a bit different now. The Side Grass has changed, as well as the hues of Papyrus, Bronze Ingot/Block, and the Dry Shrub is different looking.
