FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I have recently (tried) to switch to minetest 0.4 and noticed that it ran nearly as slow as Minecraft. Is there anything I can do to make it run faster?

no clue...minetest isnt supposed to be this slow...its fast in earlier versions but these new versions are really slow/laggy and/or ever time i try to put a block down there is a 10-20 second delay and sometimes it dosnt even register the block placing....very frustrating :l

as to how you can make it run fast idk...switch to a lower version and/or ask in the feature discussion that it be worked on to speed it up....other then that i got no clue :l

Thanks blue.

lol i didnt even help tho...was just saying its the same for me lols

Do you think anyone can help with this?

yea some of the more experienced game modders...dont really know all of them but DeathDealer is one...Sfan5 is a moderater of the forum but i dont know if he writes game code and some others (im bad at remebering names :l) you just have to wait till someone responds to this thread and/or contact them yourself

or you can contact celeron55 at his gmail account...dont know if he has the time to read the msg and respond but you can try :p

Thanks again... lol

no you can edit your Minetest.conf to load one chunk at a time and only when you get so close. you cant make you minetest run at 60 fps optimized fully.

like this

max_simultaneous_block_sends_server_total = 1
max_block_send_distance = 10
max_block_generate_distance = 10
time_send_interval = 3500 <-- (this helps alot for some reason)

just add this stuff to your minetest.conf file
