FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Allow lua api to add new cameras to the game,
then have those cameras render to texture,
then allow lua scripts to use said textures as the textures of arbitrary nodes.

what can this do ?

Allows camera & tv-sets objects in game.

This is possible with Irrlicht, but it just needs to be implemented as a lua api.

This can also be useful for mirrors, but I fear that this sort of feature will not get enough love from the masses to be worked on.

It is just as I feared. This idea has been forgotten.

Well, BUMP!
This would be much cooler than rendering text to the signs!

I agree. If it is feasable to implement, why not do it? There are tons of ways this could be useful.

If there's anyone who's willing to help, then see this https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1367 issue.
I think that render to texture may help to add those signs as well.

There's also a bounty of $20! :)
