Minetest Forums

I was always under the impression that breaking changes in Minetest like this wouldn't occur within a major version (i.e. 5.x) as backwards compatibility is always guaranteed, even if features are deprecated. Has this guideline changed? I used to think the same. But apparently the policy is that we...

However, if the mod is removed, the data will remain forever on the server, which, as far as I understand, is not relevant for the mod-specific storage. AFAIK, mod-specific storage is also not removed when you remove the mod. (And it would be awful if it was removed automatically, when you only tem...

>if the server hangs, the client also hangs (noticeably more stuttering on slower machines)

Just FYI, this should no longer be the case in 5.9.0-dev.
(Server is still paused when you open the pause menu though. This is a feature.)

No. But we have an issue for this: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2746

Maybe your sounds don't exist.
Just do some print debugging.

That's server lag.

and also error in line 524nor 549 where it says invalid animation something either 0 or Infinity for x. There was nothing in line 524. Fixed the error in line 549. And also fixed some warnings. But we have a problem where after the update it lags more There has recently been a regression in the eng...

Code: Select all

minetest.after(4, function()
	local player = minetest.get_player_by_name("singleplayer")
	local connected = minetest.get_connected_players()
	assert(connected[1] == player)
	print("pass")
end)

Nice, it probably even works if singleplayer takes > 4 s to load.

Don't worry. The code snippets I provided are too trivial to fall under copyright anyways.

You could just count the registered nodes: minetest.after(0, function() local cnt = 0 for _ in pairs(minetest.registered_nodes) do cnt = cnt + 1 end minetest.log("registered nodes: "..cnt) end) But it might be imprecise, because a handful of content ids are reserved (like air or ignore, bu...

I've created a TODO list:
https://codeberg.org/Desour/ds_todo_minetest

It also includes a PR priority list.

It's not a wishlist. All the points are meant to be addressed. There will be regular updates.

See repo for more details.

Shift is the default sneak key, and F9 is (was?) the default minimap key.
Where did you read that you should use "Shift-F9"?

You don't need to register or login at any centralized service to use minetest.
If you want to join a server, just choose a name and password. The register button just creates a new player at that server, aka registers you on that server.

Here's a link for you: https://github.com/Raulshc/OpenAL-EXT-R ... 0Extension

Adding support for audio effects extensions is on my imaginary TODO list. I'm not yet sure however how the API should look like and how the feature should work exactly. Another (voxel) game that uses openal audio effects is openspades. AFAIK, it does raycasts to guess how big the room is that you're...

Motivation (skippable): You might have encountered that loading objects takes a bunch of time and causes client hickups. (May be more noticable if you're using mip mapping, or any texture filter, like anisotropic or bilinear.) Profiling indicates that this mostly comes from texture modifiers, inclu...

I've seen that there's a new game submission: https://content.minetest.net/packages/m ... ervention/
Was the submission deadline also extended? I'm a little confused.

There's a `generated` flag, see `doc/world_format.md`. Some mapblocks can already exist in the map db even though they aren't completely generated yet. AFAIK, they come from overgeneration (when a mapchunk (5*5*5 mapblocks) is generated, the mapgen can also write into a 1 mapblock thick layer around...

In singpleplayer, the playername is "singleplayer".

Somebody else also had issues with sound on a snap install:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/14038

Node defs are stored in minetest.registered_nodes.

My guess is that this is due to overgeneration. On mapgen there's a one mapblock thick layer around the mapchunk that the mapgen can also generate into. This is useful for small structures that would otherwise be cut off at mapchunk boarders. This is also why the map db contains blocks with mostly i...

I see Desour, Rubenwardy, celeron55 on Matrix already. I'm guessing they can talk for themselves rather than needing you as a spokesperson.

(I've joined the minetest matrix room once, but I'm not active there (because I haven't yet found a matrix client as convenient as hexchat).)

`.minetest`, nicht `minetest`. Datei browser zeigen per default Dateien, deren Namen mit . anfangen nicht an. Es sollte irgendwo eine Option "show hidden files" geben (bei pcmanfm unter "View"). (Und bei `ls` musst du -a benutzen.) Deinen home Ordner findest du auch via `echo $HO...
