FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

All mods have been updated, along with the server.
Minetest_NeXt has been merged into minetest_game and updated.

Fixed, dashes should now be allowed.

Is it possible to have areas where PvP is enabled or disabled? [Edited for clarity and brevity] No. The PvP setting is server-wide, and clients might cache it. However it's probably possible to fake it by overriding on_punch or a similar callback in all entities to make it check where it is before ...

Could you make areas hurt players who try to violate the areas? Yes, but: ⋅  This can be done much more generically with a separate mod using register_on_protection_violation ⋅  I don't like these deterrents because they hurt legitimate players and do nothing if the player messe...

Some of the nodes it added ignored protection.

Uptime should not be used, as good servers restart frequently for backups. There are servers that should be banned for good reason, and the current serverlist has support for a ban list ( util/master/master.cgi line 84 ). Votes may be a good idea, but require more persistence. Servers have to be sav...

The color machine should not depend on texture names, it should use the texture from minetest.registered_nodes[node_name].tiles[1]. That said, I've changed the texture names to match the mod. You may have trouble with hardenedclay:hardened_clay using the hardenedclay_regular.png texture file though....

Skin for player "PeterPanda" added.

Yes, create a file called technic.conf in the world directory and fill it with this:

See config.lua for more options.

Fine copper wire, Copper coils, motors, etc. are not listed.

Works fine for me: (search for copper_[wc][io] )

It seems like bots aren't counted as guests, and bots didn't have permissions to read the forum.
I've given them the appropriate permissions.

I´ve got a problem with unified Inventory and creative_mode. Make sure you're running the latest version of unified_inventory and describe exactly how it isn't working (default creative inventory shows up? UI shows up but buttons don't work? The normal inventory shows up? UI shows up but thinks you...

Looking through the modpack, I noticed a stargate mod. Does it still work, and if so, how do you generate/craft one? You're using a old version of Technic, StarGate is now packaged separately. However, the StarGate mod in old versions of Technic should work (although I wouldn't recommend it on a mu...

AFAIK ABMs keep going once put on. If that's really true (not my lack of knowledge), I would like to see the possibilities to shut them off and on later in the game, after meeting a condition, paired with the computers internal clock or connected with the Minetest time. ABMs are designed to run on ...

We're not missing those... Perhaps we don't have the same quantity of them though.

Post updated with the right nodename.
Also, for future reference: reading the code is helpfull, I found the answer here: https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-m ... k/init.lua

The command block is fixed now.
And use /giveme mesecons_commandblock:commandblock_off

You have to restore the param2 (and param1) value when you use set_node. You can get your current param1 and param2 values with get_node. You should NOT use a hardcoded param2 value. So, for example. local node = minetest.get_node(pos) node.name = "curtains:red_closed" minetest.set_node(po...

I've raised the attachment size limit.

Are spoilers going to be fixed soon? Spoilers and headers work, but old ones weren't converted. Colo u r tags also weren't converted to color tags. I'm working on a Python script to fix this but it isn't quite finished yet. Until then, editing a post will update it (except that it won't fix colour ...

The forum is now converted to phpBB with a theme by BlockMen.

Try using the node breaker and deployer from pipeworks.

Can somebody make a video tutorial? I can't understand how to use this. I have very tall building and I want to protect it, but I can only place 2 nodes. I want to cover the whole area of the building. [Edited for clarity] There isn't a video tutorial currently that I am aware of. However, protecti...

Also note that this always enables Technic oregen. This will double the amount of uranium in worlds that have Technic enabled.
You should add something like this:

CWz wrote:Can you add an option to toggle whitelist mode?

The whitelist can be enabled and disabled by simply enabling or disabling the mod.

I saw that lfs was a solution, but I thought it wouldn't be usable in the context of minetest. Would anyone who installed the mod need to also download and install lfs or can I include it somehow? You can pre-compile it and include it by adding: package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";" .. modpath .. "/...
