FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

When I create a new world and log in, this is all I see :(

Try pressing the F5 key and see where it says you are. If you are outside approximately -31000 or 31000 than you spawned outside of the mapping area. You can try to type the following /teleport 0,0,0 and see if that does anything.

EDIT: Syntax errors.

Better teleport is 0,5,0

Changelog:

In general or just with this game?
If in general: wrong topic
If with this game: please dont use it, it has already a modified version of BetterHUD included

With this game. But if i remove it from folder, game crashed.
Default/player attempt to call method "set_local_animation". I have this problem in other new minetest games too.

Nothing of interest in the log, just a crash.

EDIT: I tried removing everything but default, made a new world, and still get a hard crash after a few seconds. maybe something in the mod's mapgen?

Looks interesting. Have you considered randomly placing bones here and there to increase the eeriness?

I like the game, thanks for developing it.

I am fairly new to Minetest and not entirely clear on the "farming" aspect. According to the wiki, I am supposed to be able to use a tool to "mine" the wheat, but this does not seem to work in Wastelands. You can't mine the wheat directly but must mine the block underneath it. Is this by design? Or am I missing something? I'm using the latest 0.4.9-dev version.

Put a 2x2 square of wheat in the crafting grid, which will make flour; then pur that in a furnace.

To harvest wheat, wait until it turns golden and has large tips on top, you will know; it will drop seeds and wheat.

Dig the plant with a sword or your fists or other tools.

I have random crashes after a few seconds too.
Debug log has a few :


Terminal displays a segmentation error message on crash.
I run on latest daily.

I can harvest wheat normally in the default minetest_game, but this does not work in Wastelands. See attached videos, one of minetest_game farming, and one of Wastelands farming.

Yes, seems like a

is missing there.

Yes, i forgot to change the values for wheat aswell when switiching to new tool system this version. It will be fixed next release, or if you don't like waiting add: here https://github.com/BlockMen/Wasteland/b ... t.lua#L356

Umm...what? I will take a look.

Hi! When I attempt to craft a bronze sword, a bronze pickaxe, bronze axe or a bronze shovel, it just yields me an unknown item.

The bronze hoe works, however.

PS: I am looking forward to see monsters in this subgame. :-)

I've got problems, too.
The error I get (also after a few seconds) is:
"minetest-0.4.9/bin [...] /games/Wasteland/mods/default/player.lua:144: attempt to call method "set local animation" (a nil value)
I'm also rather new to minetest. :(

Try to get a in-developement build from the forums (you can find them in "General Discussion") and see if this problem still exist.

Yeah, thanks!!! - Everything's alright now :)

Well, I'm almost starving, but this game is brilliant ;)

Nice idea, even if got some similarities to another mod of another game which I did not like to mention here.
The real deal might it in Multiplayer-mode. I did not play with others so far but thinking of bring back nature to a total wasteland with friends sounds awesome in my head.

Question: I handled it to grow some wheat but I'am not able to farm it when it's grown. Bare hands or tools, I just can't mine it. It's like clicking at Stone with bare hands.
EDIT: Nevermind, i just read the information above and now I know the answer.

Using 0.2.2 of your mod and minetest 0.4.10
might there be problems with the new farming-api?

everything else: Great mod :)
thx
