FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Metology is a fork of minetest that I have been working on to make a better game, a little fuller, like minecraft. So far, I have:

• Armor, and a armor slots
• Bubbles bugfix (got pulled upstream!!!)
• Enchant and smoking crafts
• Item holding
• Lua entity particle convenience
• Animation blending (I think)
• Acheievments
• Lua entitys can choose whether to staticize
• Lua HUD control
• Camera anim

A shot of hand holding.

Erm,... a bug I'm having trouble fixing.

Showing off the wieldmesh.

Looks pretty cool! You should make a pull request for minetest-c55!

could you make a build for windows

Ask PilzAdam or sfan5. They provide windows builds for people.

Sounds interesting.
Any pictures?
Are you intended to make a pull request someday?

what version of mt is it forked from?
is it gonna be kept up-to-date for as long as original mt is and maybe even longer?

Latest git, ang going to keep it updated for at least a little while. ;)

I'm working on setting things up for pictures, but it might take a day.

As for a pull request, I have already made one for my bubbles fix (if you look, you'll find it). I'll make one if enough people think it's a good idea, but I still have a long todo-list for this project.

Not to worry, PilzAdam. ;)

good. what's bubbles fix?

My bubbles bugfix is a solution for the common error of finding a large underwater air pocket, or 'bubble'. The solution is not foolproof, but remove most of the obvious cases. I had made a pull request earlier (https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/pull/466), but it has not been pulled yet.

and what about adding changes from taoki's branch?

taoki's branch? Which one is that?

movement stuff. now mainstream. player physics.

Added particles.

Interesting

Updated feature list.

there aren't any enchants, acheivements, or any of the sort except for armor...

The achievements and enchants exist, its that they have not been coded into metology_game

Hud API, how flexible is it?

I suppose it depends on what you expect one would do with it. You can only draw an image, some text, a statbar (Opimized draw a bunch of images), a hotbar-like thing, and a background image. If this is not enough then let me know.

btw, enchants DO exist? I didn't think that the damage calculation was changable by lua, unless there is something obvious that I am missing?

Link is broken.

Fixed.
