FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Depends on your needs and desires. If you are skilled in html/php and have hosting and a domain purchased it's trivial. Otherwise you can always find a volunteer or pay someone to do it. Personally I do simple freelance webdesign on the side if interested however I'm not advertising my services here...

I had to sadly remove boats from the server because for some reason it started crashing the server on startup. Can't remember the error but it was something to do with "on_step". Whenever next version comes out I'll try again.

Craft a sword and slay them each time you see them? (or is PVP disabled on that server?)

after placing node, string "owner" is set to the placer name after_place_node = function(pos, placer) local meta = minetest.env:get_meta(pos) meta:set_string("owner", placer:get_player_name()) meta:set_string("infotext", "This machine sells items for " .. meta:get_string("price") ..

F10 sometimes crashing Minetest, what is annoying.

This is confirmed with my friend. Whenever he presses f10 his client crashes. I haven't tried it yet but if I remember I will try later.

There appears to be a fatal flaw in this mod. Here's what I did: 1. Place ASM and add an item to it and set a price. 2. Log in another player (any player with interact). 3. Open ASM with other player and move item from it to inventory. 4. Get item for free. This is a fatal flaw to me as it defeats t...

For advertising get creative. For missing features at least get together a group of skilled coders to work on them. The basics that are missing is efficient mobs, efficient carts that don't lag, efficient boats that don't lag or appear at random places (current carts do this too it seems) and get a ...

Nice textures. My only suggestions is change iron_lump texture to something else, create an animated torch using your current torch textures (otherwise default torch texture shows) and maybe change the rails texture. Otherwise great pack.

I would like to know if anyone has gotten the mod for 0.4.4 to work under Linux and if so if there was anything special they had to do. Not long ago I temporarily migrated the server from Linux to Windows and while on Windows the player_textures mod worked perfectly. While on Linux it refuses to wor...

lol I must need to do more.... anyway I can't decide who I would consider "respected". To me virtually everyone here who contributes deserves some respect for their part in making minetest better. Of course if it weren't for celeron55 minetest likely wouldn't even be as good as it is now (forgive me...

The word hasn't gotten out yet. Plus you have many who expect certain features that minecrap has but minetest doesn't (yet) or doesn't have implemented well enough. Examples being carts and mobs mostly. If there was a good resource efficient mob and cart setup that both actually worked and used 3d s...

Okay, since davidpace is really behind in doing mod and texture pack reviews I decided to do some too! I will voice it and show what you can do with the mod or texture pack(crafting, purposes etc.) as well as giving pros and cons(if there is any) and a personal opinion. The reviews will be about 2 ...

I do not understand, why use this when you can get the same effect with a player detector and a piston? eh? This mod simply lets you craft blocks you can "walk through" without any complicated setups. It was inspired by the secret_passages mod. The blocks look identical to the original block (uses ...

I find these mainly ridiculous, because of a variety of reasons. Here's two: The first one is, people seem to expect that the community of a completely free game would be somehow exceptionally good. Or even on par with communities of big commercial games that are guided by paid people. No. Of cours...

Uhmm, I just downloaded this is what I get with the textures....: http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s603/davidpace11/screenshot_50920160_zpsf9978cb0.png They're all just a mix of colors.

Why are people so willing to ditch a GAME because of some PLAYERS? To me thats a bit retarded. So you don't like the IRC, don't use it. Simple as that.

I wouldn't mind my mods getting reviewed.

Namely:
Industrial: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=692
Fake Blocks: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3955

Industrial is an old mod of mine that I plan to do more updates to. Fake Blocks is a new mod.

May I have interact? Player name RAPHAEL.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon. Haven't tried the mod yet, have some other things to work on first.

Hmm.. https://github.com/kizeren/minetest-restart/master gives 404. However love the idea. This is a mod I will surely have to look at.

EDIT:
https://github.com/kizeren/minetest-restart/archive/master.zip
Works..

Yes I think a clear bottom would be a good idea.. how do you expect to see the ground for landing? lol

I would do it myself but no idea how to alter this mods textures.

So how does one remove this mod? I tried deleting mod folder and restarting server (many times since removal of folder) and item drop still happens.

lol had to post this screenshot...

For technic diamonds you just have to dig very deep. Once I hit a deep enough level in my mineshaft I kept finding them.

This mod just doesn't want to work for me. Using 0.4.4 stable compiled run in place. Using updated mod for 3d textures with textures named properly. Tried mod under mods/minetest and games/minetest_game/mods and still always default 3d player textures. This mod supposedly works for others so why is...

Stand farther away from the spot you're placing them on. The mod now tries to calculate which piston to place based on which way you're facing, including up/down. If you're too close to the target node, the mod thinks you're looking down, and so it places an 'up' piston. How far does one have to st...

It seems with latest download of mesecons (about a day or so ago) I can no longer properly place sticky pistons. Unsure about other pistons. When I place them, they always end up pointing up.

Anyway,the real problem aren't mods but people's ideas that thinks griefing is evil,but it's just a PVP aspect of the game. No.. it's not. It is something that only retarded/mentally handicapped individuals participate in for jollies. PVP involved various aspects of killing players, not destroying ...

Generally each server will have different load times. Some servers have a very fast connection while others don't. Some have a lot of mods while others don't. Generally more mods = longer load initially. Once loaded first time, repeat connections should be faster.
