Game music needs client-side mods or direct engine support, because game music is usually looping and time-based. It is hard to synchronize and play music across a network.

There is also design issues: - What about android controls ? - How to manage dozens of mods using dozens of different keys without conflicts ? I thing that could be solved but it needs a good design. And I also often feel lack of customizable keys. android should be a very low priority. it distract...

This is awesome! Brings back memories. Sorry about the slow and messy pathfinding code. It's based on dynamic navmesh. I really don't know how to optimize that further. Comments on my first play: Great atmosphere! There was really a sense of impending doom. I like the ambient music. I was overwhelme...

I can't log in with my old login (Kalabasa). It says no new players are allowed this time, but I'm an old player. :(

Hi I wasn't able to update this game because of schoolwork (I'm doing my undergraduate thesis right now). I uploaded the blend files to the repository. Also, I (accidentally) added the still-incomplete spider enemy "Aranay". It may be buggy. License is as it is in the license file. (This m...

When I set_bone_position, the model animation stops and the skeleton resets to the "rest" state. Is this intentional?
one case is when rotating the head of an object while the rest of the body is animated as usual.

Implemented two new features: Music This is intended to bring suspense to situations, and generally give some life to the game. Incidental music will play at certain events in the game. The music depends on the tension of the player. I haven't tested this on a network, so the timing may be bad on ne...

You can loop a sound if you specify an object/player or a position.

What about background music? It's a sound that loop-plays globally and not attached to an object.

How to get the name of an entity?

If object, If entity

Why can't I loop sound without an object attached to it?

People (uhh, 2 of them (including me)) were complaining on IRC about animations. So, I guess there is demand for an animation improvement. The main issue I'm addressing here is that animations are always looping. We can't sequence animations. Example real-world issues: As for animation issues.. imag...

There's no stack trace at all. ERROR[main]: ServerError: error in error handling I'm not using JIT. I think the times this error happens is when nodes are removed/manipulated. I noticed this error started appearing when I added block-digging capability to the mobs I'm making. Edit: I'm not using Vox...

What does this mean?

See Clonk's ActMap for inspiration Currently, animations are not much flexible. I propose an Action definition for animations. This would make smoother transitions between actions and synchronization of logic with animations. Actions define a single action in the animation, such as "walk"...

See Clonk's callbacks for insipration Currently, Minetest has on_activate , on_step , on_punch , and on_rightclick . Additional callbacks that are useful are: on_collide_node(dir) - When an entity hits a wall. Useful for projectiles (arrows, or bombs that explode on contact). dir = collision direct...

Thanks for the feedback! Real quick, I downloaded the latest but the throwing mod folder is empty. The throwing mod is a git submodule in the repository. Submodules aren't downloaded by default in git, iirc. You should do a git submodule update. If you used the ZIP option from GitHub... I don't know...

That's the purpose of texture filtering - smoothen textures.

Or instead of middle click, use a key (like P for pick). Similar to color picking in OpenSpades/AoS

I don't know if it's compatible with other mods. 1. I did not use any of the existing mob libraries/frameworks. 2. It breaks blocks! You may not want your server griefed by some mob. 3. It does not spawn automatically/independently. In this subgame, mobs are spawned by the Director. You should write...

Is it possible to use an animated texture for a mesh entity?

Added a new monster "Sarangay" (or minotaur) http://i.imgur.com/zoBM9F8.png It can break your walls by charging. Added a new monster "Paniki" (or bat), which is still a wip. They're flying squares at the moment. It's good to read that mobs weren't eating resources (at least, in y...

Are there mods that prevent team killing?

Well then, minetest.register_action("mymod:myaction", function(player) -- Example callback -- player = player who sent the action kill_player(player) end) -- This binding is sent to the client minetest.register_keybind("mymod:myaction", { default_key = "X", description ...

Thanks for the reports! I'll add that to the todo list. fortress was the former name of this mod. I don't know why it still looks for those files. It's a bit too hard at the moment. Currently it spawns whole horde of monkeys. Edit: Right now I'm focusing on adding content. Tweaks come later. Edit: A...

Warning: This is a WIP so expect unbalanced and broken gameplay! Don't expect a complete and working game. Description of what the game would be when completed: This is a coop (or singleplayer) game of building, surivival, and defense. Players must build and defend a fortress against waves of monst...
