FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

basically that's the question. i want use a game and everything in it without addition or overwriting.

By default no mods from common are loaded. Games can load mods from common by adding this to their game.conf

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

common_mods = default, bucket

Thanks!

Can we make up, ours own Common and add:


Or it won't work?

#: Whatever you like.

No, that wouldnt work. You need to patch the engine for that.

Thanks telling me since I was going do it some, time.
Then how do ours own game modes work if we add, mods into them?

This might be useful if we have different sets of games that rely on different sets of common mods; say, a couple classic Minetest variations and a couple Minecraft clones.

That would be just too awesome for words. You could, for example, use any arbitrary game as a common set. So you could take definitions that are specific to build, survival, minetest_game, and minamal to use in your own custom games.

Or dependencies between games, or...wait, a little while ago someone somewhere suggested ALL mods be "common" and each game.conf file just list the ones it wants to include (or exclude?).

To bad can't have mods can, be turn on/off in Minetest it self...Though you don't have it downloaded but I think That need alot of coding make it link to, the game.

select a world in the singleplayer tab > configure > proceed

though it would be neat to be able to load and unload mods while the game is running; that way servers could keep going while someone updates the mods running on it…
