FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

hello all^_^ its me once again.
here to inspire the modders of minetest. ive been gone for awhile and for good reason. the scene was getting over run with, for lack of a better term idiotic little kids with nothing better to do than act like they know something. i really hope it doesnt continue because i will just take a nice long break again. ive updated some of my texture packs and my sound pack so PLEASE everyone lets work together and make minetest great^_^
a mod that i would like to work on very soon is something i like to call random textures. now ive been modding minecraft as an ananomous user. and have found a way to do this in minecraft. its basically making multiple texture for the same block to give the world a less repetitious feel. in the next couple weeks i hope to port this to mietest:D wish me the best of luck i will give a progress report soon!

I'm looking forward to that. The best of luck developing it for minetest!

Welcome back again!

Welcome back..............

Creating really random textures using Perlin Noise would be better ;)

yes better, and a lot more time consuming to make.a guy on the minecraft forums had this idea. but after looking into animated texture packs i found i could make any number of textures for a single block. its as simple as getting animated texture working for minetest^_^ witch i hope i can figure out. i have an od job so i sleep weird hours but i work on this in my free time. to tell you guys the truth i havnt released this for minecraft, and i dont know if i will. maybe this is what can seperate minetest from minecraft.

Moved to Modding General!

Yes it would be time intensive and quite senseless, but it would shrink the gamesize and be somewhat cool.
A great visual feature for Minetest would be bumpmap-support, too. But c55 (or anyone else) should readd a good texture filtering for HD textures first.
