Re: Node metadata inventory is only updated every 2 seconds
Those checks are needed. If I'm right, if you remove them, you allow people with hacked cllients to steal things from chests.

Re: ERROR__memory is not enough
enable_mesh_cache has only been disabled lately. Its default on for 0.4.12. Setting it to false (where it defaults to true) can indeed reduce memory usage (see github issue for more talk about it). Agreed, ignore_world_load_errors and enable_minimap don't have anything to do with memory usage.

Re: [0.4.12-dev] Inventory movement using shift
There won't be hooks. I think comparing ratings is too complicated. I'll implement group matching though. I guess I'll just add conditionals to the listring -- add a new "listring" element, which gets chosen as destination only if the item in question has at least one group in common. It w...

Re: [0.4.12-dev] Inventory movement using shift
Great idea! A hook might be not desireable due to lag considerations, but group based filtering should work -- if groups are transmitted to the client.

Re: [0.4.12-dev] Inventory movement using shift
Both clientside and modside (also gameside, minetest_game doesn't have listring functionality merged yet). You can already add it to chests in your mod. The only two mods/games I know of which have the functionality are the technic chests, and the minimal game.

[0.4.13] Inventory movement using shift
Today, list rings were merged. This formspec feature can be used to transfer items from inventory to e.g. a chest and back, directly without drag & drop. However, mod creators have to take action in order to make their mod support that feature. The basic setup is as follows: with formspec declar...

Re: Trepca server
With VanessaE we could find a great hoster who saves the server from going offline. The irc channel stayed the same, only the address of the actual server and the map changed. I'm currently still migrating, but will put up the new places online. EDIT: everything is online now, including the new map.

Re: Minetestmapper rewritten into C++
Hi Argos, I have a build failure with the latest commit: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c894b3737759127fbae4
Adding the following line to the file db.h made it build:
#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS
This page gives more explanations why.
Can you add that line?

Re: Eye candy effects
Minetest does too much with the CPU already, while shaders are a better place for this.
Regarding paramat's comment: I think we can have more graphical features. If they look bad, they can be disabled, or not turned on the first place.

In minetest, we use backslashes at two points: 1. For C preprocessor macros. The examples you see above aren't regular C code, they are preprocessor macros.
