Thank you to all contributors!

Nice! Thank for all!

Really nice !!

I will rush to minetest.fr to write a new topic ! :)

mega awesome...

Yeay! Thanks devs!

Thanks guys, best Xmas present :)

nice work, thanks

Alright! Best present I got this year!

Thank you every-dev, we (finally) have the famous 0.4.11 (without any version number problem)! Now, we can all enjoy the end of the year, playing minetest!

Awesome

Thanks for the developers.

Some question though, I see in minetest_game we have a new tree type (pine or something), so we now have 3 tree types (default, jungle, and pine). But in my new created world I don't see the jungle and pine tree types anywhere. Why?

Thanks!

Some questions about the changelog:

Changed default halo.png for better visibility (RealBadAngel)

I do not understand this. What halo.png?

Allowed footstep sounds to play for liquid and ladder nodes (Taoki)

How does this work exactly?

Have no changes been made to minetest_game? The changelog does not mention any.

That's an image which is used to highlight a node.

When will it be available in the Ubuntu stable PPA ?

Is see it is not there yet. :(

I'm using this ppa: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/minetestdevs/stable/ubuntu trusty main

Yeah, I’m waiting for the new version hitting the repos in Arch Linux, too … Maybe it’s because of the holidays :D

If you want to generate jungles with the v6 map generator, add

to your minetest.conf

Pine trees are currently not generated; you can get the saplings in creative mode and grow the trees with it, though.

Previously, the footstep sound of the node definition were only played when the player walked on the node. Now it is also played, if the player swims in a liquid or climbs inside the node.

I've flagged it as out of date at archlinux.org, but the maintainer has quite a few other flagged packages, so it might take some time. Meanwhile, here's my AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minetest-git-leveldb/

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

mgv6_spflags = jungles

to your minetest.conf

Thanks for the answer.

There were a lot of great changes made in mintest_game, someone seems to have forgotten to update the changelog. I fixed that now: http://dev.minetest.net/Changelog#Vanilla_game_changes_.28minetest_game.29

So great! All the new changes! :) Again: Thank you to all of the contributors and developers!

Okay, folks! I have updated the Community Wiki, now it should include the additions and changes for the minetest_game, as of 0.4.11.

Optional snow biomes for mgv6 using the pinetrees is planned for next stable release (as long as the MTgame team still approves).
Mgv5 is in but is considered 'unstable': it may still change subtly but we will try to minimise any changes. So if you start a mgv5 world you have to be prepared for possible discontinuities in future.
The biome API is also unstable and is about to be improved in a backwards-compatible way. You should continue to use 0.4.11 stable until i write my post explaining the new features and how to make it blend seamlessly with your existing worlds, this will involve a slight rewriting of your biome registrations.
Now that we have a simple grass biome as default in mgv5 and mgv7 you will now need to add:
immediately before registering your own, otherwise the default biome will interfere with your registered biomes.

^I'm looking forward to your posts explaining the new system paramat. Biome support from the engine has been the biggest item on my wishlist.

Also thanks to the devs for continuing to grow Minetest into an even more powerful engine. The changelog has a lot of exciting stuff.

I find so awesome the new pine tree, thank you!
Im waiting for the snow biome now :D
happy new year guys :D

Now all my games and worlds and mods should be fully compatible with this, right? Checking before I upgrade...

Android build by ME!!!
