FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Josh04 reported a bug in the German forum:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10238

I am reposting the same bug report in English here.

I could not reproduce it fully, so I’m posting here to see if other people have more luck with that.

The bug report:

If you build a fence corner like this:

F = fence
A = air

And then you go to the corner like this and hold forwards for 5 to 7 seconds:

Translation: “Forwards is the ↑ on your keyboard” and “Hold forwards. You glitch through after some time!”

Yes, you will somehow walk (“glitch”) through, according to Josh04. Of course Josh04 means the actual forwards key (“W” by default).



Translation: “This is what it looks like after you’ve glitched through. I did not walk around it!”


I could not reproduce the bug after walking against the fence corner for 2 minutes.
But only once the camera had shaken for a little bit but I did not touch the mouse. But I did not glitch through the fence.

Maybe this means I reproduced half the bug? xD


Anyways, this is the bug report. Can you reproduce it? If some more people can reproduce it and I gathered some facts about this weird shit, I will post an issue on GitHub.

Oh, and I used Minetest 0.4.10.

I don't think it's particulary important. Perhaps a rounding error somewhere.

But it works! I think, it is cool!

Some bugs are fun, yes :-)

This may be direction-related, be sure to build fence corners in all four directions to test.

Here, I can't reproduce with latest Git version of the game and engine, even when using fast_mode.

I tested it in all directions on 0.4.10, I still could not reproduce it! :-(
