It's not possible to download single folders from github, so please change the title to [Modpack].

I tested the boat and noticed, it's a big glitchy. It goes faster and stops on the sea borders,

Good texture :)

i think It would be awesome if you made the boat bigger. it would be more of a sail boat

Very nice model!

That might not work as expected. Larger things tend to take more time to turn around/change direction than smaller things - at least in real life. In Minetest, direction changes would be instantaneous. Which looks very odd if done by a huge object. Cows have a problem with that already. Larger boats would be even more problematic.

thanks for the info - mod was posted in general and not quite released yet. i'm working on a modpack so it coming soon. keeping an eye on irc as some ppl are talking about making a universal vehicle api so in the mean time i'm focusing on creating a few models and playing with the code.

please explain sea borders - you mean land or areas that have not been loaded into the client from the server or areas that have not been generated by the server?

thanks - i'll have a play with size - have a look in the code https://github.com/deasanta/minetest-deasanta/blob/master/ds_sailboat/init.lua around line 25 you will see

collisionbox = {-1,-0.5,-1, 1,2,1},

play around with those numbers to see how the collision box is affected. you will notice that Sokomine is correct but then again feel free to do as you like :) the next one will be a caravel ship so that may be what you are looking for and I have found that one hard to steer. You can resize the model using any 3d editing program that can import X (directX) models then save it back as X, 3ds, or obj file and update the line below around line 28

I create more clearer image for inventory, you can replace it with this picture.
