Could you add some player characteristics like in RPG games? Implement training (digger starts to dig faster in some time etc), modifiers made by mods (artifacts, potions) and other adventure things.

+0,5 Minetest shouldn't be an RPG Game

I don't like the idea in my opinion giving "old" players an advantage will just disapoint newbes. On the other hand and I think a even more serious problem is adding rpg features will increase compatibility problems in case of feature changes.

This is community game, not battle or racing. This feature will just help players to adapt their most used characteristics. We don't remove inventory or chests only because older players ave more stuff in their houses.

The game already has such characteristics, but they are hardcoded. Making them change in time won't change compatibility.

No it doesn't by now each player is equivalent to each other.

And of course this is only my opinion I do respect you have another one
I just wanted to stress out that this feature does not only have supporters ;)

Yeeees)

See I quite like the idea of some RPG type elements, however, I know many people might not so instead of just adding in the RPG stuff as part of the default game (unless celeron55 wanted it of course) maybe just the interfaces needed added to the API so that mod developers could add the RPG stuff.

In fact I guess a lot of it could already be done via the modding api, one thing that would be nice is if we could modify/add gui elements via the modding api ^_^

It must be selectable in the config. Not everybody want to make their game an endless food searching :)

+1, but only as API stuff - allowing modders to make speed, strength, fire resistance, invisibility or flying/low gravity potions. :D

Well, training can be implemented throw API too. A mod can count player statistics and vary his characteristics from his dig count, distance run etc.

You can implement it through mod api, save player char's info to file and read it on load, maybe to send something to chat when player is hungry...

But you cannot change player's walking or digging speed.

Just need to add textures to GUI and make it available to be changed by a texturepack.

me to like making gui customizable and modifyable by lua, but probable we should start a new thread for this as it's not really player characteristics ;-)

I've already replaced the crosshair out for a texture based crosshair on my local copy, which I know isn't really changing the GUI but my brother wanted to change it haha, also being able to change gui elements via textures would be good but it wouldn't allow us to add new gui elements.

Anyway like Sapier said the gui related stuff should probably be taken to a new thread ^_^

I think Minetest should have features incorparated that will make it more realistic. What I propose is that the code should include controls similar to the mod smart moving from Minecraft this mod allows you to have more abilities like swim, sprint, jump, and grab blocks etc. This will give the game a more realistic feel.

lol had this idea, in my idea thread

id love to see these, but, celeron probably wont have it.

Celeron won't merge it, so it's not worth to code a C++ Mod

are you guys fightin for comment lead here:D LOL

Yep! xD
