Re: [Mod] Native Villages [nativevillages][v0.5]

Lions are present, I've been killed by one before. Repeatedly.

It might be part of the animalworld mod, which is interdependent on this mod.

As an apex predator, probably has a very low chance of spawn.

Since "Voxel" seems to be accepted by most for making a new name, take this,

Vengine (Voxel Engine) (Not Vengeance.)

And they can keep coming. The point is to use the opportunity to create a word as well as a "name brand", as well as a name. MT is powerful. Continued reference to MT as a game anything is, IMHO, plain and simply shortsighted. Logel = Logical Element (personally, not bad, and not -xel) Sox...

@WaysOfWord Perhaps the part we still are unclear about is what do you mean in all of this?

Re: Create a creative, serious buid team.

@Blockhead, Thanks for the +1.

My gal mod is also a good place to start, as it has numerous blocks for building, and the nodebox shapes library is built in, and it also include shapes not found in lib_shapes.

@Blockhead, You can use a palette to colorize textures. It's in the lua_api.txt. I use a localized palette of colors in my gal mod to colorize grayscale images for grass. Look at sofars Lucious mod also, as they used an image palette to colorize dirt_with_grass, plants and trees according to heat / ...

Sockpuppets on MT forums to feed AI and trolls.

Not sure which we're feeding here, but it seems to be a lot more of both of those, and not a lot of feeding the community. Maybe pay a little more attention to the very new accounts, 6 mos or less, post count < 50-100. That should keep out most of the drama.... Noobs are easier to spot, but probably...

Media Licenses and MT cache.

Responding separately to something @Blockhead states https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=29526 . I think the transfer of media and other potential "assets" from the server to the client can easily be addressed by clearing the cache of the client upon disconnect from the serv...

Additional points in favor of 'eMTe'. Technically, you are not changing the name at all, just how you pronounce it to the world. When someone asks, "What is 'eMTe'?", you can tell them it is an empty, programmable environment, or whatever other nonMC description you choose. This makes the ...

OK, so voxely related names no longer apply. Yet, the world generates one mapblock at a time. So I still have to somehow generate the non-voxel world one "voxel" at a time, just mapblock, instead of node block. Oh, well. Moving on...... :) I now vote for 'eMTe'. You keep the MT. Encasing M...

I tried the bushy_leaves mod, but find it jitter inducing.

I've also had trees using plantlike instead of facedir, for somewhat faster performan...
