FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Too long, didn't read.

There is blender only stuff in the models I use, which means it is impossible to export them.

I like your choice of biomes. Flying around i noticed the biomes are small and sometimes form thin strips, i recommend greatly increasing (x4-x8) the 'spread' parameters of mgv7 heat and humidity noises. With many biomes these spreads need to be increased to maintain a preferred biome size.

Feel free to show me where to do this then, because I haven't actually had a real source of info with MGV5/7.

Add these lines to minetest.conf, but increase the numbers in the brackets. Looking at your biome sizes i would suggest quadrupling them to start with.

Your treasure chests could make good use of the new meshnode draw-type, if the prospect interests you.

Mesh nodes don't allow animation afaik. I think it is better to stick with the current setup.

Right now, I made a very large change to BFD - I removed the mapgen lock to V7, as V5 is now in Git HEAD.

You will now have to select V5 or V7 manually if you want to be able to use BFD properly.

I got this error.

It's a bug with singleplayer that never occurred as I often use Advanced tab instead of singleplayer. Because custom skins.

The error occurs while using the advanced (server) tab too.

I found where it's going nuts, and if it can't find a player skin that you have, then it crashes by trying to get the aspect ratio of it, to ensure it is or isn't a 1.8 skin.

Fixed the singleplayer bug as well as skins that don't exist.

Hidden update: it also automatically detects ignore areas and turns them into air, not sure how it will react to ignore mapblocks.

You have various trees and various ores in this sub-game, but you don't have much variety in crops. To this end, have you ever considered using MTDad's farming++ mod somehow? It is a very good farming mod (one of the best, in fact,) but it doesn't get used very much by the community. Below is a link to that mod:

Not a fan of complex farming like that. May eventually add other types of plantable food, ala potatoes and some other seeds that could randomly drop from dirt monsters.

I'm also planning on a complete texture overhaul.

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

Close Minetest and restart it. This is a bug with the engine itself. (Most likely related to memory corruption seen in Linux builds of the engine.)

You can continue to keep clicking continue and start game, but it ends in an infinite loop.

Close Minetest and restart it.

How many times should I be restarting this? I'm on a Lenovo ThinkPad W540 running 64bit Windows 7.

Just once. It usually isn't hardware related, as I use W7Ult and it sometimes just does it.

Did I mention the main menu isn't even safe from me fixing it texture wise

Important changes to the biome API heat and humidity noises https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10621&p=164110#p164110
If you update to latest 0.4.10 dev, or, when you update to 0.4.11 stable, you will need to set the old default noise parameters in minetest.conf for biome continuity in your existing mgv5 or mgv7 worlds.

twoelk suggested over IRC that I make the sp bg and logo better - so I did.

Looks good, especially those 2x2 textures.

Your kittens are needed as a seperate mod!

The RC3 download isn't working. I just went to the github page (below) and downloaded the zip. Hopefully that got me the RC3.
