Re: Post your modding questions here
It lets me in game now, but the gui does not pop up. I guess my ultimate question would be how I would get that to show up? I created a folder aoe. Created a depends.txt with default in it and created an init.lua with your code in it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65428713/2014-11-08-101824_1...

Re: [Mod] Boats [boats]
@Lomic It looks to me you are using (the) minetest(_game from) 0.4.9 instead of 0.4.10. There is legacy still in it and no boats. Most of the times the development versions from minetest work better (with the latests (updates of) mods) or use at least the 0.4.10 stable version. Here are some links: ...

Re: [Mod] Mesh primitive objects [0.10] [slope_test]
Thanks VanessaE :-)
I tested the versions before cylinders and they looked good (I prefer the full collison box by the way).
I have one (very general) question you may know the answer.
What impact have the meshnodes on the performance of minetest compared with other node types?

I think the problem is you created a craftitem you want to add as a node:
