FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

The thing with using Launchpad for translations is that translators have a nice web interface and don't need to mess around with files and git.

... Sleep(2000); ... First off, you should use sleep_ms from porting, Sleep is Windows-specific, AFAIK. And second, do you really want to block the server thread for two full seconds? And to get time differences you can also use dtime, which is passed to ServerEnvironment::step. hope this helps --jn

What is the exact error message you get?

Do we have a bedrock.png yet?

It seems to be part of the "Mese builder's kit".

Thanks, I brightened it up a bit to match the brightness of stone (I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but at least it's not too minecrafty).

Yes, definately. But it looks a bit like rubber.
May I include the texture? Under which basic license?

• First, is it possible to allow a node to drop a specific item when dug with a certain tool? And if so, how?

You can overwrite the node's "on_dig" callback; See builtin.lua for what to do in it.

Ah, well, I estimated it in my head. (And did hope someone would actually calculate this, so I could compare)

Constant dig time (which is what I used) isn't influenced by the tool's basetime.

Wouldn't you be able to dig through this in 1000000 seconds? :P Have fun spending two weeks pressing your mouse button :P This would be pretty useful for making impenetrable sections of the map if there was a fly mode privilege that prevented one from just flying past it. Indeed. Otherwise it's a n...

As I felt it was lacking, I made a simple mod to add "bedrock" to minetest, a stone that you can't destroy. http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/blob_plain/meta:/bedrock2.png You can get it here: version history zip tar.gz (the license is WTFPL ) Notes: - Using this mod together with mods like Mo...

That looks lot cleaner than my patch, thank you!

I suggest making it possible to add new commands (that also show up on /help) and privileges from Lua. I might code up a patch for these, but don't expect anything.

Where can I find your solution?

@randomproof: I have a fix (or workaround) here.

Added to the patchsets page.

Looks good except in some strange cases:

Thanks, Jeija!

This is the freedom of being insane in minetest mods :-)

There has been some discussion about improving the GUI system among the core developers (not me).

Screenshots, further information?

The recipe is like this (m = mesecon, S = stone (not cobble)):

How does it fail to start, what does debug.txt say after it didn't start up?

Putting "video_driver = direct3d9" or "video_driver = direct3d8" into your minetest configuration file could help. but I haven't tried it.

@jordan: What inventory error did you see? I couldn't see one in the video.

EDIT: Or were you referring to the totally wrong-looking inventory images that blocks have? In that case I might have a fix here.

You need to mods only on the server. To connect to a server with mods you don't need the same mods locally.

Thank you! Does it work? On which OS?

Because the current texture cache implementation is rather inefficient when switching between servers with different texture packs, I changed it to store the textures by their checksum, instead of their filename (e.g. default_dirt.png). This patchset has one disadvantage that I can currently think o...

This is what the petchsets page lists: https://github.com/TeddyDesTodes/minetest/tree/weather

I have a little patchset for this problem: http://repo.or.cz/w/minetest-c55/jn.git/shortlog/refs/heads/client_texerr

Feedback appreciated!

We already have the texture cache, which "remembers" textures when they are downloaded from a server. The problem with it is currently that it is extremely inefficient when switching between servers with different texture packs, because the textures are stored by their file names, which, of course, ...
