Re: Why don't more games provide custom player character models?
as far as i know, those are made with a 3d modeling program (blender?), and animations must also be defined somewhere. guess most people don't know how to do this. there is a model available in MTG; and while it's not very expressive in it's movement, it is compatible with most player skins you can ...

Re: Engine or Game?
so MTG development has stopped because the core devs want to focus on the engine, which is fine, but it makes me wonder about the availability of MTG to new developers. "make it yourself" seems to be the default answer to everything, but would pull/merge request for MTG be accepted? from w...

i get the impression that people want to get away from comparisons with minecraft, but this is exactly why and how i found minetest. and i guess a lot of other users have done so too. renaming the engine, now that it has become more than that, is fine by me, but that's just the background. i wouldn'...

Re: Underground survival
iirc all MTG trees have the same growth conditions, so the actual problem would be illumination.
jungle trees probably grow the most wood, but if the cave isn't high enough you might lose out on leaves/saplings.

as long as MTG remains the default built-in game that almost every mod depends on, i see absolutely no reason to go for a different name. the name fits on the box because it is what it is. also, there are so many minecraft rip-offs with names like craftblock and the like, if we don't want to be ming...

Re: Flat Map lakes with river water source
those lakes are at sea level so it is ocean water. rivers are generated by the valleys mapgen (dunno if capartian does it too) and filled with river water as per the biome definitions. there were no rivers before that. v7 has a flag for "rivers" but those are more like canyons that go down...

Re: [Server] Xanadu
since most shops use ore lumps rather than ingots for money, the Lost And Forgotten Shop has been adjusted to use gold lumps instead of gold ingots now.

Re: trying to get back into the game - where to start?
I think as an 'adventure' player (my vague description from what I know of you), you should try some new games other than MTG. For a kind of hard challenge you could try Exile, or even harder, Hades Revisited. For a more expanded and fleshed out game, I would try MeseCraft. And for something really...

Re: A multiplayer game based in Battle for Wesnoth
if you want to recreate the MT game mod "capture the flag" in BfW, shouldn't this post go in the BfW forum?
(and if i remember correctly, BfW used to have a scenario which was quite similar to capture the flag, just with a football instead of a flag.)

Re: For players & non-artists: texture preferences?
i like clean textures with small palettes, like those from snes games. border or no border usually depends on the size, i guess, whereas smaller textures like 16x usually don't have enough space for black borders. autogenerated palettes look weird because they have too many similar shades. i once re...
