where is the sourcecode of the old minetest versions?

[jbb]

Im building a Launcher in Python with LNJ.
We want to support the playing of the 0.0.1 - 0.4.
I found a small number of files in:http://c55.me/minetest/oldsite/download.php.
But the versions before 0.3 arent there.
Do somebody know were the sourcecode is?

It's all in GItHub branches: https://github.com/minetest/minetest

For instance, https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tree/stable-0.2.

thank you very much!

The small launcher will support updtating, play older versions and download other games.
It also will have a news HTML site.
Ive got an idea: A news.minetest.net where you can find the news would be great.

Some of the ideas are my
I found a lot of MT versions with tags not with branches
but not the old 0.0.1. In c55 blog are just the win-32 builds.
Has someone a idea where the (0.0.1) sources are?
Or has celeron55 them just private or are they lost?

Here is the source for the first (afaik) public minetest: http://c55.me/random/2013-01/minetest_1 ... ful.tar.gz

I found it on this page in the dev wiki: http://dev.minetest.net/Core_Architecture

If anyone could tell me how to compile the early versions of Minetest on a recent Ubuntu, I would be very grateful! I have tried a fair few times, without success...

Why not just use this forum's news thread?

We thought that you can see there if a new version has released and maybe a small changelog and some links.
I think it's the best, if you can switch through some news pages or RSS-feeds.
Like a page for new versions e.g. versions or news.minetest.net, the WIP mods (RSS-feed), Bugs and Problems (RSS-feed), the News (RSS-feed) of course and a lot of more!

I used a win-32 build with wine, it works fine!

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

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine
wine /path/to/exe/file [OPTIONS]

I attempted to build it on Linux, but then gave up. It works perfectly fine in WINE.

i know old version 0.3 and older can be compiled on older versions of ubuntu

There is a .deb package at the debian server (wheezy) with version 0.3.1 of MT
https://packages.debian.org/de/wheezy/minetest
Ubuntu is based on Debian and works with deb packages too, so I think it works.

Install it like this:

Have you the same?
