FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I assume you are using 4.9 "stable," right? why not try one of the "bleeding edge" builds? that may fix your problems.

HUD/Mobs/Etc installed to make the survival element a bit more realistic. that's gonna be a hard one. most servers don't have mobs, simply since it slows everything down way too much. I'd prefer 18+ people to play with. there is a very wide range of players in this game. unless it is a whitelist pr...

well, there's your problem, you're using windows :P I would try to diagnose the issue, but I swore off windows eight (THE HORROR). my preliminary guess would be that you are missing the path to some of the folders (unless microsoft intentionally made the paths more confusing. your screenshot doesn't...

In general i would suppose configurable inputs this makes me wonder, would it really be that hard to add a few lines to the engine to add alternate input for arrow keys? this seems like it would take, at most, a couple hours to implement. We already have the turn function for the mouse, keyboard sh...

The tronblocks look good. Two small remarks for now: - the tron arrow block has a cross and a 'x' on 2 of its 6 sides - the tron arrow block, left tron arrow block and right tron arrow block are the same blocks when placing them from another direction. Same for the the tron parallel and the tron ho...

depends if server lag or client side lag is meant.

GPU usage shouldn't slow down the network.

don't forget that your bot was frequently used to tell people the difference between lag and low fps.

this is found in the debug.txt which can be found in the same location as you minetest.conf

another thing that would be nice is dig buttons. say, ctrl = left click, alt = right click

The alpha release of tronblocks is out. go ahead and check it out!!

This is a fairly simple mod that adds a bunch of nodes that allow you to build a tron looking world. The mod is packaged with the MIT public license (a little more official than the DWTFYW license) and is available for use however you wish. License: MIT public license for both original textures and ...

Hey guys, I'm really close to my alpha release. I have the code written for it, but I just need to develop the textures to accompany it.

How much are you spamming it? Every second, multiple times per second, every minute?

Because if it were infinite then you would have an endless supply of of obsidian, and it would be nigh impossible to clear a lava cavern. If you wanted you could try writing a mod that act similar to the water source. Might even be able to take the water source code, and just change water source to ...

If on a server, get yourself and them faster Internet.

If on singleplayer, get a faster computer, or disable things like shaders, particles and 3d clouds.

Chances are you will get fly before noclip. If you have fly, then it doesn't really matter. If it could be changed so that it behaves like that when no-clip is enabled, even if you don't have the priv, then that would work.

Haha, lol. The thing though is, this doesn't improve Antones workflow, so why was the change made? Was it a strive for realism (in a game!!) or was it to fix a bug in the machine that caused problems?

I've had this problem before too. Usually when I run both minetest and firefox. For a while 4.7 would do it on its own if I pushed the map generation too far (aka trying to reach the nether with fly and noclip). I had always attributed it to a hardware issue of not being able to keep up. The interes...

Seems I can't change the poll questions in retrospect. How do you think the selection cube ought to be rotated? Can you explain further? Turning noclip on allows to place the nodes and is an exception for the code above. But you don't want everyone running around with noclip on, and noclip does mak...

This has bugged me too. It makes it really difficult for building and for the disable camera update "feature."

You gave us your email while registering. Enough to find out your home address, the school to went to/ go to, and the phone number of your last girlfriend. Your age is just the number of times you went round the sun. Nothing big about that. and I have two e-mail addresses for my alias, Aincha Bisnu...

is there an easy way to add a second recipe for crafting something? I have multiple versions of the same block (different colors) and several of those blocks. what I have is this: -W,-B,-G,-O are represtitive of colors. they craft like this; A-W->B-W->C-W->D-W A-W->A-B/A-O/A-G B-W->B-B/B-O/B-G C-W->...

Screenies can be linked - No need to put it in an img tag. and what about requests for help with mod development? I personally have very little in the way...

I'm gonna at least double the number of textures. and I can't help but feel like they could use a major renaming. please, give more suggestions. they are extremely welcome. current names: tron stone: basic block. it is black tron glow box: dark edges with light inside. gives off most light. tron arr...

are you suggesting we have a D&D server?

I just maximize it. fills the whole screen. what os are you using?

Minetest vs Minecraft is the same question as Linux vs Windows. Minetest is better design but minecraft has simply the mass of users The only thing we can do is pushing minetest to perfection (Both Game and Engine) and wait the mills of fairness grind slowly but they grind at all I feel this is a b...
