Re: [Mod] Simple Beacons [1.1] [beacon]
The beacons looks great at night and from afar. Really funky. But the beacon blocks themselves look … meh. But I noticed they are extremely destructive. For instance, if you place a blue beacon in a cave, the beam completely destroys everything above. This doesn't seem right.. PS: wilkgr76, your ava...

Looking back after >2 months of development
Two months have passed after the release of version 0.1.0. Add a few extra days if you count my initial commits. I thought it is about time to look back to see what has been done from the beginning since I picked up the original MineClone by daredevils. Here's a list of things which have been added ...

Re: Chunk-animator for Minetest
I think celeron55's roadmap is still very relevant even if it is old. There are many important insights. It should not be forgotten. I can't stress this point more than enough: Modders: Give feedback to the core developers (including me) This is often forgotten; apparently many modders often silentl...

Re: Adventure-Mode, o.ä. in Minetest?

Ohhhh! These new armor textures look great! And I'm glad that this mod is compatible with Minetest Game again. It is safe to say this mod is easily one of the most important mods in the Minetest community. It's very good that it is structured as a modpack which makes it very easy to rip out unwanted...

That's nice, but for a “Story Mode” you still have to come up with a story, no matter if Minecraft, Minetest, Voxelands or RandomSequenceOfWordsCraft. ;-)

Re: In-game Translator
Of course I know about intllib, I've been using it extensively for almost all my mods. :-)
But I will be more than glad to replace it with a real translation system provided by Minetest itself.

Re: In-game Translator
How about we simply finish the translatability of Minetest so we don't need any crazy hacks or Google Translate in the first place?

Re: Setup a Poll in a Reply?
I don't see the point in making polls in normal posts or even signatures. Just start a new topic.
Everyone can start a new topic, not just “privileged” users, so you are mostly trying to find solutions for a problem which doesn't exist. :P

If anyone has any ideas on how the performance of the game could be improved, let me know. I heard Minetest has some sort of mod profiler, maybe it can help you find bottlenecks in the code.

Re: Modifying and using schematics
Meh, editing trees and other schematics by text files seems awfully tedious.
I look what WorldEdit can do for me.
What do you mean with “annotation”? MTS files just look like binary gibberish to me.
Is there maybe a way to go from the WorldEdit format (.we) to schematics and vice-versa?
