Well, after big development of Minetest++ (it's still not nearly close to being done), the ultimate modded clone of minetest, I have decided to make a server. It is recommended for you to run Minetest++, but you can also use the latest git version of minetest.
Please note that I take this server down a lot to use new versions of Minetest++ or new patches I made for it. It usually comes back on within a minute.
Anyways, here is the info:

Hamachi network name: minetestpp_lkjoel
Hamachi network 2 (only if the first network is full): minetestpp_lkjoel_1
Hamachi network 3: minetestpp_lkjoel_2
Hamachi network password: Minetestpp
Version: Latest GIT of Minetest++ (you can use the latest git of Minetest too, but this may change later)
Port: 30000

If you want extra privs, ask either me (lkjoel, that's Lkjoel, not ikjoel) or jordan4ibanez.

Please report any bugs you may find!

Thanks, I added the details

Create a second network.

by **lkjoel** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 18:45

good idea

by **lkjoel** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 19:19

no, latest Git is needed.

Do you have windows, mac, or linux?

I'm currently experimenting on very interesting obsidian textures (I'm terrible at GIMP lol)

by **lkjoel** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 00:10

well, now the texture is ok(ish)

Server down for recompile

by **lkjoel** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 01:02

Server back up

You can only download the source code of it, and the source code doesn't have anything.

Oh yes I want to use Minetest++ not the latest regular since I can't play it.

by **lkjoel** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 02:01

This is the official minetest++: https://github.com/jordan4ibanez/minetest
This is the software the server runs on (this is my fork of minetest++, and the changes will be integrated in the official minetest++): https://github.com/lkjoel/MinetestPP/
Either one should work

by **sfan5** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 09:17

The Second Network is full too :(

by **Jordach** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 09:23

dammit. LkJoel must port forwArd.

by **sfan5** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 09:53

@lkjoel:
Please make a new Hamachi Group

I do not know how to start playing on Minetest++ because theres no minetest.exe file when you download the source code.

minetest.exe -> Destination
many cpp files -> Source

If you just want to play it, download the latest Minetest++ Build from my Website: http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest-builds/ 2nd Section

There is a Feature List.
A Screenshot would'nt be able to describe that

by **mauvebic** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:06

Well it reads to me like a cosmetically tweaked client with different/extra mods. But without screens i cant visualize how big of a difference it is from the official client.

Are other mods going to be (and remain) compatible?

by **sfan5** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:11

Almost any Mod is still compatible

by **Jordach** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:12

Hopefully, yes!

by **mauvebic** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:16

Hmm, well all i gotta say then is, if youre going to fork the game, take it in a new direction (ex. 1/4 and 1/8 nodes, things of that sort).

otherwise you might as well write some sort of C++ modding API. Or fix things that dont work in the official client. Personally i dont care for skins, but a lot of people seem to want the carts to work.

by **mauvebic** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:21

other ideas:
- an ingame craftbook that saves "discovered" crafts.
- teleport presets (or door-like portals) - i wanted to write a mod for that, but its not entirely obvious to me how do with the current api yet.

by **Jordach** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:24

Actually, you can make the teleports to somewhere on the map, Kahrl managed to do it for SkyBlock.

by **Jordach** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 15:07

Make another network, or REMOBO, won't connect. FUUUU--

I have no idea what happened. Hamachi just disconnected, and I got plenty of error messages on the server. Weird.
Anyways, I made a new network: minetestpp_lkjoel_2
Hope this works now.
