Next - development branch with lot of unmerged pulls

[rubenwardy]

most important changes:
- 99% lag-free. optimized server, can handle 50-100-... players, no problems with laggy mods, even on slow hardware (ARM)
- much faster on client (vbo, can eat memory), increased view,send range
- nicer looks (#799)
- better dynamic weather and liquids
- less bugs
- weather defined water or ice on map generation. (freezed oceans if low temperature)
and dirt_with_snow instead of dirt_with_grass when too cold.
- weather defined tree and flowers growing
- cave trees in huge caves (indev mapgen)
- optimized falling (much less mid-air stuck, limited max falling speed)
- fixed and optimized headless client (you can run 30-50 bots on one PC)
- hell (very hot at -30500), anything melting and burning

If this is true, why is this not merged in main?

99% lag-free: If this is not true, can I get my money back?

[proller]

because nobody is interested in this?

yes, 40 days money back guarantee.

I need my money back. This is even slower than RBA's shaders build

This branch seems to run fine on my computer. Why is that not so on yours, hoodedice? What are the specs of your computer?

C2D @2.93 GHz

Next build >10 fps

RBA ~= 20 fps+

and what v_range value (in f5) in this builds ?
and in clean release 0.4.8

[Topywo]

I got this error message:

18:45:06: ERROR[main]: loadSchematicFile: invalid schematic file
18:45:06: ERROR[main]: register_decoration: failed to load schematic file 'treewprob.mts'

Minetest-Next seems to run fine (singleplayer). Rendering of the screen is the same as 0.4.8. Fps a little bit lower 18/19 (0.4.8) versus 14/15 (next), but next is running with the weather mod (rain, snow, ice). Finally I saw a 'working' moonflower (nice!).

Weather temperature and humidity work, although I noticed at least once a big (20 c) difference in a small area.


Edit: textual. + both running with jungles and dungeons.

I am going to test your outlandish claims, and hope you are right. In single player I was still getting 50-60fps with weather and everything on, so we'll see how that translates to a dedicated server. Compiling and setting up a server using the latest back up of my Landrush Server.

People are finally starting to test this branch. I hope things turn out well, for this branch has a number of features that could greatly enhance Minetest in the future.
