Minetest and VR

by mikemac30 » Fri Apr 22, 2016 20:12

Is it possible? What I mean is it possible to render minetest in side by side 3d?

MT has 5 3D rendering modes.

* anaglyph
* interlaced
* topbuttom
* sidebyside
* pageflip

So yes.

Just set "3d_mode" to one of the above values in your minetest.conf file and start minetest. If you use 0.4.14 you can use the advanced settings menu: Client → Graphics → Game → Advanced → 3D mode

It would be even cooler if someone could convince HTC or Oculas to make a library for us Open Devs...

Any further information on this? I was unaware of these features and now I'm interested, but cannot seem to find the info/documentation

Afaik there is only source code and git messages. If someone would collect the infos and write an article about the mods and how to use them that would be great.

Hmmm, actually... I think Ill hold off until the new release before I really do break something...
Interesting, some of the parts in these codes are parts needed, related to water reflection / refraction..., i.e. stencilbuffer and some other parts...

Okay Thanks @lightonflux I just tried it on my DIY VR headset. It works perfect except when you open your inventory, chest, or pause the game it opens the window in 3d and 2d. Also any text on the right side (in side by side 3d) is kinda messed up and it looks like there is other text over it. I can live with some messed up text but the double window is super annoying. And whats this about 0.4.14? I thought the latest was 0.4.13?

Sorry to hear that you have experienced rendering bugs. I recommend you open issues for the problems your encounter. Please file them here.

0.4.13 is indeed the current stable version. But many of us use the development version (directly from git). And now that we are in freeze (no new features get added) you run the feature set of 0.4.14 + bugs if you play on the dev version.

If you file your issues, please try to use the newest MT version. It is super easy to compile on Linux. And if you use WIndows take a look at the builds sub forum.

In the latest builds, in advanced settings, there is an explanation.
I do not care.

It really seems like they forked an old version... Do you see the ugly green hatted guy and those textures? Of course, 3d players might just not work with that yet, and they prefer the older textures...still.

Hi folks,
i am interested in this, and i tested side-by-side. I wonder why the eyes displayed reversed. I mean the left picture is on the right eye and the right on the left eye. This makes no sense, isn't it?

Edit:
i am a beginner in coding but i think on this line: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... ne.cpp#L29
is set a global position of the camera, if i understand the code correctly.
And on line:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... e.cpp#L284
and the following lines sets the side-by-side config.

But i can't test it while i don't know to compile for win32.

This is what I'm interested in. :P

Did you follow some sort of project, or did you do your own reaserch and wing it? Also please post pictures if it isn't too much trouble. :D

The other video you can see they are using 0.4.13. They are using the minimal game.
