FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello all! :) Here I will post my nightly builds for Android. All builds will be the latest Git at the time of posting. The included minetest_game will be updated with Git as well.

Here is the first: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4ncVD ... FJSXM/view

If you should happen to encounter any errors, please open a new issue here so the Minetest developers can try to resolve it.

Also, check out rubenwardy's Minetest Mods app to easily find and install additional mods.
It's available here on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenwardy.minetestmodmanager

And for more information, check out the Minetest Mods forum topic: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=14280

Enjoy! :)

Edit: Updated

Could you make a build for android 2.2.2? I would deeply appreciate it.

I apologise, but unfortunately the lowest Android version supported is 2.3 :/

Moinzeit (as it said in North-south german)...
a few questions to the build:
- is not possible to create a game as singleplayer and name it as i like, always only one game in the Folder worlds ...singelplayerworld. so no posible to Play more then one game at the time.
- i can put other games (adventuretest for example) into the game folder, but there it is not possible to choose that game.

are there any plans to change this ?

Hello there :)
I opened an issue about this on GitHub, seen here. Feel free to comment on it if you wish. I am also working on adding that capability myself, and will hopefully have a working build to test soon. For the moment though, you can change the game by removing minetest_game and singleplayerworld from their respective folders, adding the game of your choice to the games folder, and starting a new singleplayer game.

@Wayward_One
playing yesterday a bit with this build, i found a way to use other subgames.

just put all the all the mods of a subgame into the games mod folder ...

but be carefull that can cause lots of performance and the game itself can be unplayeble if you use an slower andriod diviece.

@Wayward_One
one more thing i noticed when playing with this build.

the Screen is really dark, so it's hard to do something during night or under earth.
i already use in the mintest.conf
smooth_lightinig = true
Display_gamma = 1
but still it's really hard to see something in dark surrounding or in the night. and i have Problems to recognice some items in the inventory, they are to dark and not visible on the dark Background of the inventory gui.

so is it possible to choose a other Background for the inventory Screen gui.. and is there a Chance to make the game a bit brighter...

thx in advance

Yes, that is another solution as well.

Yes, just replace "gui_formbg.png" in /minetest/games/minetest_game/default/textures with the image of your choice. If using a texture pack, the alternate image should go in /minetest/textures/your_texture_pack.

If all goes well, you'll end up with something like this:

Unfortunately, "display_gamma" is the only way to change the brightness on Android devices.

Would be great if someone could release them in a fdroid repository.

That would be ideal. F-Droid allows you to even chose revision of a release in case a newer one fails for you. The current minetest in F-Droid is 4.12, but it crashes on joining servers that this version has no issue with.

Hmm, that does sound quite useful! I'll see if I can get a repository working sometime soon :)

Minetest 0.4.13-9c44aace

I've been very busy lately, but I'll try to have an F-Droid repository up soon.
