FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hey Guys,

Today i downloaded Minetest (i was so lucky :D ) i unrar the package and run the minetest.exe in the bin folder...
but it wont work in the debug.txt was that :


-------------

Debug streams initialized, disable_stderr=1
21:23:07: minetest with SER_FMT_VER_HIGHEST=20, VER=0.2.20110922_1 RUN_IN_PLACE=ON USE_GETTEXT=0 INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/Program Files/minetest BUILD_TYPE=Release

what does that means?

can anyone help me ?

thx for answer :)

Once again one of the times when debug.txt is totally useless... It's probably a segmentation fault or some kind of a lost exception or something. Really the only way to find out is to build a debug build of the game and run it in gdb.

Same problem for me on directx 8/9 renderers. OpenGL works few seconds and dies, software rendering looks very ugly with a lot of artefacts but works.

VER=0.2.20110922_1 WinXP sp3, Ati radeon 9600. Not usable :(

psssssssst..some one on WINDOWS should build this..FOR WINDOWS...like seriously..as soon as you see this! GO BUILD FROM THE DAILY BUILDS! DO IT NOW! lol

Hehe linux here :D

same here! but right now im at school! and im on break so when i play it on windows it:
A) is the old version with none of the new features (guys the daily/unstable is stable to just release it as stable :P)
B) is crashy

but at home im linux so theres no problems XD

Lol at my school there is some crappy hardware so it laggs :D

I've builded test version with msvc2010 it feels stable for me. I will test it more.

2 Moderators: Is it appropriate to post link to compiled version here, so people can try?

Nope, the unstable version isn't stable. Even in the actual version - I have randomly new blocks. I acknowledge this at moments, when random lava/volcanoes occur. And it occur's.
