Re: Who Knows the History of Minetest?
Today is your lucky day! In a huge coincidence, I updated the information in the wiki page about the mapgen evolution today: http://wiki.minetest.net/Map_Generator_Evolution But only for the development since 0.3.0, anything before that is beyond my motivation. To learn more about the very early his...

Re: Minetest 0.4.15
WTF? No wiki access for core devs? This is crazy and needs to be fixed ASAP.
I trust the core devs 100% in that they won't vandalize the wiki.

Yeah, those are better.
I think the third achievement (“Cooking..”) should be implemented in the food mod instead, maybe you can ask the make of this mod to add a simple achievement.

Meh, I personally think it's too boring and uncreative. But I think the general idea for adding cooking achievements in general is good.

Re: Nodes can not be placed on slabs
Your claim is not entirely true. You can actually place a slab on another slab (as long they are equal) to form a full block. For everything else, this doesn't work as you want to. Technicaly, you CAN place blocks on top of the slab, but only on the voxel above the slab's voxel. Those are the rules....

Yes, you must have angered the wolf and in this mood, it can't be tamed. Wolves as well as taming them is very incomplete.

Re: [TIP] Check if items are eatable
Any solution which involves the debug table should only be a temporary hack.
The real problem is that Minetest makes it very hard to figure out if an item is eatable. There is no standard parsable field, this is the problem, this needs to be fixed in Minetest.

Re: [Mod] MineClone 2 Supplemental [0.1.0] [mcl_supplemental
I see no problem with this mod.
This is a mod specifically made for MineClone 2, a direct Minecraft clone. So this makes perfect sense.
This mod is useless for Minetest Game or other subgames.

Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.13.0]
According to Minecraft Wiki, the pointing range is ca. 3.975 blocks. In Minetest, the default is 4. I recently tried to reduce this number to 3.975 but I noticed that Minetest appears to only accept whole numbers for the range so the 3.975 probably became a 3. I just increased the range back to 4.

Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.13.0]
Sorry, I have to disagree. You can clearly distinguish if 16×16 textures are mixed with 32×32 textures and it rarely gives a good result. There's a reason why the “status quo” dictates an uniform texture size. PS: The first ever mod for MineClone 2 has just been added to the forums! It's “Supplement...

Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.13.0]
The main reason is to be nice to texture pack makers. Many mods have 16×16 textures by default. 16×16 is simply the de facto standard in the Minetest community. I like the current textures, too. I will miss them. :-/ But I can of course package the Faithful textures as a separate texture pack. I thi...

Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.13.0]
The texture pack doesn't have to resemble Minecraft that well. It just needs to be a “light” reminder. Also, it is also probably better if it doesn't look TOO similar to Minecraft. You know, because of copyright. But as I said, this “minecraftiness” is a rather loose requirement. 16×16 is much more ...
