FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

i have a question,


i have minetest 4.6 and am trying to load the moretrees mod, when i try to run the mod it say dependency not met it asks for something call "plant. lib" can someone tell me how i can get this. thank you for you help

Minetest 0.4.6 (note the leading zero) is outdated, you may have to update (0.4.7 is the current version).

The plants_lib mod is part of plantlife

sorry it is 0.4.7 and thank you will look

this may be a stupid question but here goes,

is the plantl life - plant lib part of the ( default) game, and if so which folder is it in. or am i just too stupid, to see it.
still having trouble with the moretree mod, keeps saying dependencies not met. ie the plant-lib.

No, you need to download the plantlife mod. It is not a part of the default game.

You can find it here:

thanks i have downloaded it and installed it but when i got to play it says fail to run, then it says look the problem up in the debug page i go there and it says wont load because of name discrepancies, and i called the mod the exactly the same as it is. with no capitals or anything like that, but it still wont run.

maybe im just too old to learn how to do this. but i still like minetest.
thanks you guys for trying to help a silly old bird ,maybe you should consider putting the plants mod in the default game , for dummies like me, that seem to drive you guys nuts with our questions and non computer, and non gaming , understanding.

by the way my system runs on window 7. thank you for listening to an old bird.

Plantlife is a modpack, so I wouldn't expect problems with the name.

Two things you can do:

1. Copy/paste the 'ERROR' lines from your debug.txt here so we can take a look.

2. I guess you use 0.4.7 stable. It's a version that's getting old. Try a recent 0.4.7 build from one of the following persons:

Blockmen: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6727
sfan5: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1523

this is why i make game worlds - just sayin' - but even those will fail with an outdated mt from like yum - i wonder if there is a call to get the version and a way to throw an error messge onto the screen that says the version failed the check

thanks guys trying one of the downloads you suggested,

i think farming plus needs farming (and farming needs wool? if i remember rightly) - check the depends.txt on each mod

Did you rename the mod farming_plus-master into morefarming?

Rename it into farming_plus and try again.

Thanks for the feedback.

I took some time to find out why it isn't working. To make a long story short. The farming_plus has been modified to function with the latest minetest_game (16 hours ago). It doesn't work with your or my latest. You can wait till one of the Windows-builders makes a new build and/or you can download a slightly older version of farming_plus that does work:
