FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe. Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow, away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

How do Install Mods?

OKay...I know how to install mods, but some of them can't "load or run"....why? Also how can I fix this?

I thought it might be.

BTW, this isn't instant chat. It's a forum. It is best practice to use the edit button if you are the last person who posted, and that wasn't longer than an hour ago :P

It is probably best to make your own mod first, or contribute to an existing mod. Have a look at dev.Minetest.net

More general:
http://dev.minetest.net/Main_Page

Intro to the mod api:
http://dev.minetest.net/Intro

Sometimes the api-doc might help:
/minetest/doc/lua_api.txt

Use parts from existing mods, for example the default:
minetest/games/minetest_game/mods/default
