FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I like to come up with player textures but I can't see them in the game. Is a mirror possible?

I think reflections are not possible yet.

This would require GLSL Shaders, I don't think Minetest will ever be able to do this.

obviously you haven't seen kahrl's shader branch

could this be possible in the future?

was it committed?

hopefully it will be!

how about some simple plates that look metallic

Nope, this will probably never happen.

Excuse me, but really, Minetest does not even have enough GLSL render passes to do such a thing.

However, you COULD build an entity that uses the same 3D model and texture as the player. It wouldn't be a "real mirror", but it would be a way to look at a skin without connecting another client.

Isn't there a way to add another camera view through Irrlicht? Not sure if its possible as I have no idea about that kind of stuff, but if there is a way to add a camera view, you could probably link it to a "mirror" node and have the node display the image.

Ehm, I know theres a way to do it in pure OpenGL, but then again its a WikiBook soo....

then do it. You complain about Minetest going nowhere but why not do something to make apart of the engine better

There is yes, you can render camera images to textures.

So why not do it? I'm sure it couldn't be too difficult. I may try to learn how to do it myself.
