Is it possible that i can not see the shadow anyway? Because on ground level there is no visible shadow (and that shadow has to be huge).
Anyway, thanks for the info.

That would be really neat on a moonrealm server or something like that :D

I did a quick research because i couldn't remember any file size limitations. And i found this: Maximum Number Of Pages In A Database File SQLite is able to limit the size of a database file to prevent the database file from growing too large and consuming too much disk space. The SQLITE_MAX_PAGE_CO...

Its hard to say without many user traffic. To determine if already generated chunks are loading faster from the map, a few more people should start a test visit on this server (in my opinion). Since most problems occur, when the server is nearly full. Except the problems when generating chunks, ever...

I played about 10 - 20 min and checked parts from the main town to sicdonia and kept walking south to generate new chunks. The first thing that I encountered was: All sign rotations were wrong. Then i encountered some strange tree generation errors while exploring new chunks (half cut off trees, som...

You get this error, because you made a typo related mistake. You wrote inv::add_item( 'main', "default:steel_sword" ) And it should be without the double ':' . And this error is not related to the modified chest code. If you take a closer look at the error code ( 19:46:34: ERROR[main]: ...opy\bin\.....

does anyone know how to make a crafting table, but with different properties? I want to make an anvil to forge armor and crossbows in castles+ EDIT: When you place a chest-like item, can you make it so it already contains a set of steel tools. Do you mean something like mentioned here: The RealTest...

You could prevend this mod from overwriting the default recipes. For example the slabs within moreblocks/stairsplus/slabs.lua starting at line 118: -- Unregister default recipes minetest.register_craft({ output = "moreblocks:nothing 1", recipe = { {recipeitem, recipeitem, recipeitem}, }, }) Just com...

I found a bug in the latest stable download, running Minetest 0.4.7: Attempting to craft a cobble slab (three cobble across), I get no texture in the preview of the crafting screen. When actually crafting the item, the error comes back as ACTION[ServerThread]: player singleplayer crafts moreblocks:...

Github This link leads to an python script located in the official minetest repo. If you want a faster version, check the minetest-related projects page of this forum. There is a topic where this script was rewritten in C++ Edit: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2896 ^^ ^^ Forum link to ...

releases come with more than just minetest_game, i think minetest 1.0 will be shipped with some sort of Game downloader for such things and is not shipping it with games the user would never play, but blows up the download size. In my opinion a way more elegant solution. Furthermore i see Minetest ...

And when you consider a server with thousands of saplings on the ground the old method is ridiculous.

Thanks for correcting the code. I needed a bit before i saw them.

Hello guys, i found the following lines within the /builtin/misc.lua: function minetest.get_connected_players() -- This could be optimized a bit, but leave that for later local list = {} for _, obj in pairs(minetest.get_objects_inside_radius({x=0,y=0,z=0}, 1000000)) do if obj:is_player() then table....

Looks like that's it and seems like it cannot easily be solved without modifying irrlicht. A quick workaround would be to set keymap_console = KEY_F9 or some other key. I think thats not just a 'quick workaround'. Instead this would solve it, since the irrlicht devs (as far as i could read from tha...

AFAIK this is an unknown bug. Could you file it at the issue tracker at github? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues No problem. Meanwhile, i did a quick research in the net for you. Maybe it helps you for further research in this case: Irrlicht Forum topic This topic started because a user ...

Hello everybody, I wanted to report this even if its not that annoying or is affecting gameplay a lot. But it could be confusing for new players which encounter the in-game console. 1) The bug is reproducable 2) ^ by simply pressing F10 3) Win7 and WinXP tested 4) Minetest 0.4.7-bc5db9b 5) Game type...

Is there any way to disable nicknames? If you do not want to use nicknames in chat, you can replace &name in Chat_String with &dname (default name) With the nicknames, do you need a specific priv to set yours or someone else's nickname? *Added nickname system. Priv defaults to Admins rank, Take a l...

First of all: Great work! I like that feeling when you walk through the world. Its something like an old Gameboy Game (not the 8bit screen :P ). But i miss a few textures like Ice, Snow. Marble and Granite are not that important, since it is part of the technic mod, however asking doesnt cost anythi...

Update
Added a very basic Swearing filter with most common english swear words. The message send from each player gets filtered with all words inside this file and will be given back to the normal code after formatting it.

In the chatplus branch I got this error 09:11:12: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA =========== 09:11:12: ERROR[main]: Failed to load and run script from 09:11:12: ERROR[main]: /home/minetest/minetest/bin/../mods/chat_channel/init.lua: 09:11:12: ERROR[main]: /home/minetest/minetest/bin/../mods...

Okay unless i have misunderstood, your suggestion does reduce calculations by perhaps 1 but the speed improvement will be unnnoticeable, barely worth the effort. The while statement was more of a suggestion reduce the lines and saves you some typing ( yeah i know, copy&paste exists, however ). Sad ...

First of all, great work. I like your environment affecting mods especially the realms. But i have a question. Does it make any difference in peformance if i replace the lines 39 to 78 with a while statement and using minetest.after() instead of globalsteps? Instead of performing a random number gen...

Update: Merged together the chatplus code with the channels possibility. Most significant changes to the base code were the splitting of log and base code (i moved the log part to another file for better readability) and the transfer from globalsteps to a minetest.after() routine for the HUD elemen...

I encountered a little problem. If you try to work on a dirt node with the hoe, it doesnt work as long as footprints are on it. Maybe redefine the hoe that it works with footprint dirt too :3

A little performance question. Im currently using this code: function set_remote( name, param ) if param == "on" then RC = true else RC = false end minetest.register_globalstep( rc_check ) end function rc_check( dtime ) -- since we dont know a possible way of removing this function from minetest.gl...

* Updatet
I make the performance shutdown more persistent. Once you activated it, it will be active for 3 more restarts.
As long as the minetest.conf is not changing

Version: 2.1 License: WTFPL Dependencies: none Description: This mod allows users to define and use chat channels in the game. This way, private conversations keep private. Its also possible to define a maximum distance in which users can hear this chat. As example: By default, the channel 'local' ...

So this is only available in the 0.4.7-3 and up builds?
Thanks for the hint

I have a little problem. The following routine seems not to work:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: vector.distance(p1, p2) -> number

from the API doc on Github.
i always get a nil reference to this function. Did it changed to some extend? Im using the stable 0.4.7 client for server testing.
