i just now tried this new 64-bit build and got similar crash as zing269, and game will not load. this is with no mods or changes to the game and using brand new v7 generated map. when i replace zlib1.dll of this newest build with the previous one, then game loads... but there are lots of...
"WARNING[Main]: Irrlicht: PNG warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile".

I'm using Windows 10
AMD Phenom II X4 820 CPU
64bit

Posted: **Thu Sep 22, 2016 13:58**

Thanks for the answers, I've reproduced the problem and will fix it next build.
For now please copy zlib1.dll from a previous build.

[knock knock? Can i reply here? I think so...]

Wow. Finally I can run Minetest smoothly in Windows 8.1. After try this 64bit build the fps rate increased =D and my fiancee can enjoy the game much more now.

Thx a lot for this and nice work \o

Some feedback, not sure if anyone else is having lag issues with the latest build. I seem to be having alot of lag between client to server vice versa. Placing items into chests, crafting and attacking mobs has long response times. Im using all the same mods as previous builds but this build is very laggy.

It seems to be with everything, loading map chunks is fine for a minute or two then it will lag out having to catch up, same as mining. Not sure whats going on, whether there is something doing intensive checks or whatever.

Maybe there should be some more messages for the debug-logfile,
whenever potentially time-consuming actions are started, e.g. map-generation.

hello - i've just now tried out this latest update. i found the game crashes whenever i call the function...

minetest.get_dir_list()

An example of my code is simple:
local path = "c:/games/minetest"
local folder_names = minetest.get_dir_list(path, true)
print("Successful!")

the above execution never reaches the print() statement. It seems minetest.get_dir_list() is blowing up before it ever attempts to return a value. i though maybe issue with my parameters to the function? But I've tried other variations for 'path' and also tried 'false' and just blank/nil for the function's 2nd parameter. Same problem.

When I test the same code on the prior build from two updates ago.. i have no problems. Any thoughts?

Posted: **Fri Nov 25, 2016 18:57**

I did a bit more research. I re-download and tested the latest build minetest-0.4.14-e403115-win64.7z and the three other prior builds from the main download page at https://minetest.kitsunemimi.pw/builds ... i did not add or change the builds except for creating a mod called 'test' with a single chat command within init.lua...

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: minetest.register_chatcommand("test", { params = "<name>", description = "health up", privs = {}, func = function(name) path = "c:/games/minetest" print("**** path: "..path) local returnVal = minetest.get_dir_list(path, true) print("**** Success!") end, })

No problem at all when executing from the past builds i tested ...

minetest-0.4.14-09cefc3-win64.7z
minetest-0.4.14-3a95054-win64.7z
minetest-0.4.14-403dada-win64.7z

BUT!! I get this error when calling executing the command from latest build minetest-0.4.14-e403115-win64.7z ...
"ERROR[Main]: ServerError: Lua: Runtime error from mod 'test' in callback on_chat_message(): C++ exception."

I assume this download page list the builds in chronological order? So the next latest build I can use for now is minetest-0.4.14-09cefc3-win64.7z is that right? Thanks!

I'd suggest opening an issue on Github with the details.

Nope it's not ordered in any useful way (except having latest & stable at the top)

Posted: **Sat Nov 26, 2016 15:21**

@sfan5
Could you please add a new build? Your current one chrashes when you dig a door with latest minetest_game, because of "minetest.check_for_falling".

What's the point of not allowing /sethome (and along with that, /home) ?

The included games Carbone-NG and Voxelgarden both have some issues,
see my post in their respective threads.

Also, when I delete some unneeded languages from the locale-directory,
those languages are still listed in the settings-dialog.

thanks sfan. i posted on github and found it was due to the new mod security feature... and will need to include statement:
secure.trusted_mods = mymodname,mysecondmod,anothermod

Thanks for your advice.
