FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

As per suggestions I decided to attempt a Windows based mod installer using what I already know. It ain't perty but it werks. NOTE: Tis ugly but works... These scripts allow you to easily install and update mods from a repo. packmod also is used to pack your mod for use with the installer and compre...

mmm sounds nice, but what about windows compatibility? minetest has built in support of CURL library, AFAIK it has support of downloading files under windows. IMHO repo with mods must be in default minetest on all platforms. I agree there should be windows compatability, however seems nobody is wor...

EDIT: Forum automatically added extra question mark at end of poll question... So I finally got around to making what I've been wanting to make since minetest got mods.. a bash script based mod installer/updater that can download mods from a repo. NOTES: This ONLY works on Linux based operating syst...

Just tried this mod and afraid to say it doesn't do anything for me. Created a new world, installed plantlife mods and this and no new trees. I flew around everywhere and all I seen was the normal trees. Less than 30 minutes ago I got latest dev from git, compiled it and downloaded plantlife and th...

This mod is now hosted on github.

Mod is now hosted on github

Decided to experiment with github hosting. Mod now hosted on github. See first post for details.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but.. mirrors.

Why? If one has an in game skin switcher mod or similar installed, it would be easier to look in a mirror to verify the skin is as they want. Only other method of this I'm aware of is to log in a second client or have a friend help.

No for the time being it just re-teleports listed prisoners back to jail every 30 seconds.

EDIT: Decided to experiment with github. This mod is now on github. The idea hit me earlier tonight when building a small town on the DTAmedia server.. why isn't there a jail mod? With the help of kaeza (thank you again) this mod was born. What does it do? It allows anyone with the "jail" priv to s...

Guys, i think that you are using it in the wrong way. When you right click on the cannon's area (defined by the transparent block around the cannon) you have to look at the target, not at the cannon. Video explanations coming soon ... This seemed to (somewhat) fix it. Some new issues I've noted inc...

мы сейчас просто сидим и мечтаем и пишем красивые коментарии,время не сидеть на месте а работать над сервером вместе таким образом нам нужно связаться по скайпу добавляйте меня мой логин аза626 Now we just sit and dream and write nice comments, time does not sit still and work on the server togethe...

I agree with Menche that the cannon doesn't fire anywhere near far enough and tends to blow itself up along with the player. I love the idea of cannons but this needs more work to be great. A few suggestions of my own, make it shoot further and actually allow aiming (instead of just shooting in dire...

Well such a lawless server is on my todo list but sadly don't have resources to do such. My vision for such is a server with the only rules being don't cause server issues or unreasonable resource usage. I have been planning this for awhile and all privs (minus fly and fast and admin related) would ...

Do these spawn on their own?

Ragnarok wrote:Maybe it's silly question... is there a way to download older versions of Mesecons?

Not a silly question at all. However I can't answer this as I don't know myself.

I say +1/-1... I'm not fond of it but then again I very rarely use fast fly. I will say it is a bit more difficult to fly fast than before.

Already informed Kaeza but Windows binaries don't work. Sorry to those using Windows. Maybe it can get fixed lol

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 ...

There used to be a gemstones mod that I missed greatly. As I suggested for that mod I suggest adding amethyst (my favorite gemstone).

Technically any server is generally good to play on. Just find one with the mods you want to play with and try it out. As for "Easy to join" I wish minetest devs would implement some built in way for server owners to specify a compressed cache that new users will download upon connect and decompress...

First post updated, map of world added.

See this for an example (Ctrl+U to view source).
HTML/CSS aren't that hard after all.

I never thought about that.. will have to try to remember such.

You can make a free blog or use sites google for free! Indeed, I've been testing out Blogger today (free) and it may be useful to Chinchow. My suggestion for the time being is go to Blogger.com and create a blog. Use one of their templates and customize a little if you want. Host images and mod arc...

Any server I run if there is a hostile player, other players are free to defend themselves.

Too bad it wasn't Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu but better imo). Either way welcome to the world of linux. Be careful or you may ditch Windows all together ;)

I sent a PM requesting more information. I may do a simple homepage for your mods for free depending on how many and complexity.

You can check PMs at the following URL in case you don't know:
