10:22:03: ERROR[main]: TextureSource::buildMainAtlas(): Atlas is full, not adding more textures.

it's this error as soon as I enter the game, detail I use version 0.4.4, and the item is invisible, I tried to put in minetest.conf putting enable_atlas_texture: false and 0, also tried putting in minetest.conf exemple

The option is called enable_texture_atlas, NOT enable_atlas_texture.

So, use:



(or try using 0 instead of false)

Are you on windows XP? I have an old intel mobile graphics driver and have a similar problem to this.

NOTE: This error only happens to blocks. The block you mine will have the texture of the next block in the id list in your inventory

yes I have I use windows XP

Like rarkenin said above you need to add "enable_texture_atlas = false" to your minetest.conf file.

The texture atlas has become full (most likely caused by having lots of mods or a large texture pack) so it will not continue loading textures so you will see invisible blocks/items in-game, adding the option mentioned above will decrease game performance slightly but it will stop these graphic glitches.

Nope danny. The error actually resides in the texture atlas NOT being full, and therefore adding an extra (blank) texture to the first block of every mod, therby pushing the rest of the textures for the blocks in that mod forward one.
EG:
[blank] [brick texture] [stonebrick texture]
V`````V```````````V
[brick] [stonebrick] [cobblestone]

enable_texture_atlas = false does NOT fix this.

Setting the game to fullscreen fixed this issue on Windows + some Intel IGP, add these lines in minetest.conf:

...if your screen is 1024×600. Else, put bigger numbers.

I dont see how that would make a difference, but I tried it anyways, nothing changed. :L

Well, I know this is a quite old topic, but the invisible item issue is drivin' me crazy. :(

Can you please describe this problem again
without using any of the same words
you have already used to describe it previously?

I am not trying to be funny,
but I think maybe your explanation of the problem
might be holding you back.

Are you talking about inventory items being invisible...or items in your players hands...what?
Are the inventory items there and just mismatched or actually just not there?
Can you play the game and take a screen shot maybe to help illustrate the problem (pressF12) ?

I would upgrade to 0.4.13

How do you know he is using an old minetest release?
I have already pointed him towards the dev releases by krock and sfan5;
he said he downloaded sfan5's latest 0413 build but the problem persists.

I have never heard of any one having "invisible" textures,
and the game would flood him with warnings and errors if the textures were missing;
something else is going on...

I believe he is not describing the problem accurately.
so he needs to try and describe the problem in a different way

Possible solutions for this problem:
- Delete Minetest (backup "mods" and "worlds" first), then re-install the complete game
- Update the graphics driver (and with it, OpenGL)
- Switch to "video_driver = direct3d9" (requires a build with direct3d support)
- Test it with a texture pack
- Get a new graphics card
- Uninstall Minetest and ragequit

I think that's every possible solution, I hope you won't do the last one.

Okay. So, every BLOCK in my inventory fails to have a texture in the INVENTORY. When I place it, it's fine. But it's EXTREMELY annoying to open the inventory to see what you are placing. Only blocks. Everything else is fine. Just the blocks.

Minerz, check your messages.
Try out the little game I give you and see if its the same.
Download it and put in your game folder.

May someone please reply? I wanna play Minetest with icons.

Ok, Napiophelios! Where's the game?

its a download link,
I sent it via PM
check your message box

just click it and it should download to your computer.
open it and place the folder in minetest\games folder

I'll try now!

I got an error.

oh lord what version of minetest are you using?
the game I sent is based on the latest minetest
you will need a current build

EDIT: yeah I just tested it with 0412 and I get an error with default rails :(
Just go here:
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=9515&p=191846#p191846

and download Krock's Latest build and try again.

Ok

Da hell?! These are 32-bit. I'll get another 0.4.13 build

What is the difference between 32 and 64 bits for you, I mean, it WILL work no matter what if it is a 32-bits build, even if you have a 64-bits system, just download that build and try it out.

Well, I had originally thought that 32-bit builds would be slower and/or laggier. But I guess not! Thanks for clearing that up, Dragonop!

Truth is, that I would use this, viewtopic.php?id=7121 but I use MiniTest because of the epic MC digging times and I get an error when I try to use the fix.

Wow. 0.4.13 is REALLY laggy for me. I've got a decent PC too. I can run 0.4.12, but not this.

Rhys's fixes are for minetest game not Minitest.
However if you open up the init files you will quickly see how Rhys fixed the mods;
He just manually adds inventory images to node registrations that dont already have one.
like so:
inventory_image = "newmod_newmaterial.png",

You can fix Minitest the same way yourself if its that important for you to play it.
You can also do this with any game you are having inventory icon issues with.

Did you try the minimized game I sent you a link to?
Its basically just an updated version of Rhys's fixes
for minetest game from Minetest 0413 stable release.

Thats strange, I am using an older computer I found in the tip a few years ago
and 0413 release is the best its ever been IMHO
at least for singleplayer mode.

I just dont go on servers because of this weird icon issue we are talking about.
it really takes the fun out of it for me.

I dont mind the occassional weird icon,
but when its almost all of them I wont even bother staying connected.

Well, imma try out 0.4.13 a second time. May I ask for your config? It would be nice if I saw you'res because you'res seems to run good, according to your post.

There are other things you can add to make things go smoother if you are running a server,
but this is just what I use for single-player
