FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This fork of the game is optimized for fun (or will be soon)
https://github.com/jordan4ibanez/minetest

Here's the website
http://minetestpp.tk/

what is in:
-Insane tnt (normal, iron, and mese) like minecraft tnt
-Item drop on dig, and item collection like in minecraft (WILL NOT BE INCLUDED UNTIL FLAWLESS)
-Better digging animation
-A better key map [viewing fog is changed to F3, C is to fly, X is to toggle fast, R is inventory]
-Map saving is boosted from 5.6 seconds to 3 minutes [Takin' a tip from optifine]
-Nether
-Particles (will be EVENTUALLY to c++)
-Insanity feature (like give_initial but with tnt! so in minetest.conf put "insanity = true" to try it!)
-3d player
-inventory skins
-mesecons
-better player physics (acceleration and inirtia)
-better player physics in water (you don't stop instantly instead you slow down in water)

stuff that is going in:
-Mining tnt
-music discs and music box

stuff that should be in:
-create mode insta-mine
-merge 3d player (digging and looking around in all directions add on maybe?)
-sound when player hurt
-changeable skins for players
-hand uses hand section of player skin
-remove rightclick drop so it can be used for other things
-weight to the "hand" so when you look around its like minecraft
-water slows you down until your down to "in water" speed instead of instant stop
-rail-like and sign-like extrusion..also make signs able to stand up like minecraft signs using player direction
-minecarts
-boats
-gui skins
-better menus
-3d mobs
-Water dripping But only if someone makes lava drip too

glitches:
-dropped item flicker (game engine bug; needs fixing)
-ghosting tnt

Do you mean minutes?

Actually that OptiFine boost did the trick for me.

Does anyone want new textures, ask away.

I do not like the drops..

No, I use the official version of Minetest instead.

lol yeah. I meant that this version will probably not scrap the drops (after like 10 hours of work, and still working on them)

lol yeah, I remember the experience...

-Mining tnt...

What do you mean by that?

For "Nuke drops items" I coded this:


The whole new mods/nuke/init.lua file can be downloaded here: http://ompldr.org/vZGNxNQ

This only works on powerful computers! Although only every 10th node turns into an item, every explosion takes like twice the time.

Btw I love the new on-step-over animation! It is a lot better! I think I'm gonna use this spin now.
Another idea: You should add in background music, just like in minecraft. It only please the evening, the morning or afternoon. It can also depend on special places like jungle, beach, desert... If someone can provide the sounds, I can code that.

Jeija: You know I can do this right?

So do it please :D Especially the TNT sounds

When I get my ass off my sofa and on to my DAW, which will be in a sec, and disconnect my sound system, don't wanna wake the street.

lol. Also, could someone make background music? I'm planning to implement this (I'm sort of bored of programming in LUA, I need some C++ work :P).

NOTE TO JORDAN: I've made a new version of the "magnetic item taker" mod which fixes the problem with the dropped block going to the sky. It's located here: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1597

OK, we don't need TNT sounds anymore, just background music. Background music can also be played using lua. Can have advantages, because every player on the server can hear the same music! Disadvantage: Music hast to be sent from server to the client, so make sure the file isn't too big.

Came up with this: Some random piece, some synth and guitar, nothing too much.

It weighs around 300 kb.

EDIT: I think this could be a music disc: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?genre=Silent+Film+Score&page=2 and hit play on Five Card Shuffle.

For background music I would use [url]opengameart.org[/url]

can you make a download for windows users

Stef, Sfan5 make them, ask him.

ok thanks for the information

Dogers made already 15 tracks for Minetest!
You can download them here (Post 68).
The archive includes my sounds, too. Some of the sounds are already included in the main game.

By the way, I coded background music with lua already, but it just played a random song every 2 hours..

ok thank you..and make that play music every 10 minutes and it will be included! (also make it play a song at noon and at night [8000]) :D

I will code that!
>> Done, j4i just has to include it

why can't I mine silver ore with an iron or stone pick (I' ve added the moreores mod) It can't mine the moreores mod ores.

Do I just download the source code and copy in paste to the Minetest folder?

Nope, download the Latest Minetest++ Build from here: http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest-builds/
