DirectX in minetest

[WilkerS1]

Do anyone know if i can convert the minetest into a DirectX game?

If yes, how?

The engine supports DIrect3D, but shaders are not supported.

You appear to assume that the developer builds that everyone pushes out run D3D / DX, which infact, only BlockMen's and that other guy who did it first has D3D support - not to mention it sort of goes against the idea of Open Source, because that means it only runs on Windows, despite parts of the community (including myself in the past, and likely to go back), happens to run Linux, which D3D does NOT work on.

So it's fruitless.

Just add this one line to the minetest.conf;

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

video_driver = direct3d9

...it's because my objective is reah 60+ fps and get shader suport. my actual framerate is ~17-30 and when i try to use shaders everything is turned into red stuff (read the topic "Everything red (shader error)")

I don't think you are going to win here. I asked for the same once, thus I got the same response. Eternally ask and you shall be eternally denied. However, RealBadAngel did want to make shaders for DirectX once (can't be certain that he still does.)
