Hi,
before i played Minetest i played Minecraft (now i don't do that anymore). There was a mod called Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders. It added nice shaders to the game.

Is there a mod like this or can somebody make one?

Here a pic of it in Minecraft:

There is an alpha repo for GLSL shaders in github.

You cant do such mods in Minetest because unlike Minecraft mods in Minetest dont change the engines code.

You can code them in C++.

1st: No, Minetests shaders are written in GLSL and only a few pointers are done in the c++ code.
2nd: I am talking about mods. Minetests mods are written in Lua and use an API provided by the engine. What you are talking about are engine patches.

Check out my branch on GitHub for experimental water wave shaders: https://github.com/Jeija/minetest/tree/shader_playground

Could you please compile it? That would make it a lot easier.

Thx

I can only compile for Archlinux or Ubuntu, ask PilzAdam or sfan5 for windows.

Jeija your game crashes at startup ! There only pops up a window that is saying:

The ordinal 72 could not be located in the dynamic link library and then the path were i saved the game

Posted: **Thu Feb 07, 2013 13:18**

That has something to do with a dll missing, try to download the dll in the error from
http://dll-files.com

That is a problem of the windows build.
Download libcurl.dll from dll-files.com and replace the one in the bin/ folder.

theres an option to turn them on in minetest versions 0.4.7, 0.4.6, and 0.4.5

Have you read the other posts?

Jeija, is it only me or your minetest only adds waves to water? (which is cool already)

Jeija's shader playground does add wavy water. Nothing else though, as we haven't got more than one render pass yet. Which is truthfully, a horrible shame. Although one day we will get this. Honest.

Ok just waiting ^^ I already improved my shaders to make the dark more blue (the code was already there I just changed some figures) and the torches more yellow (idem) and it adds a lot of magic to the game so I think a good use of shaders could really add something!

Bump.

I like the ideas here, and I'd love to get some directional ambients going in my game. If I can figure out how to do that properly.

A thing which I miss in MT are the shadows, when the sun moves, they should change.
Or is this already part of the shaders? (never tested, cuz of low fps)

Posted: **Sun Jan 26, 2014 00:45**

Shadows are currently not in the current version of Minetest, though I don't see why they shouldn't (apart from lag).

os.execute is for shell/bash commands.

like

$ mkdir directory/

not for running c++ code. However, you could start an exe from it.

Yeah, but if you run a program (c++ or not) with os.execute it won't run in the minetest application and won't be able to do anything.

I think there are possibilities.

Like attaching to the minetest process and inserting code from another process?
Hell, that would not even work with different builds like BlockMen's, Fess or mine (even with the same commit)

What? You quit Minecraft for Minetest?

Minetest is a good game but who quits Minecraft for Minetest? o.o

Please don't bump old (?) topics. I think there is a discussion like this elsewhere which is similar.
