How's map data stored in the database?

Hi, I know that it is described somewhere, but I can't find it. How is the map data stored in the database? If I open map.sqlite in the browser there is an int and a blob. I assume that the int is the position calculated from x, y and z and the blob contains some meta data. But how does it work? Reg...

Re: New GPU, less FPS

The GPU works fine, EXCEPT with Minetest.

I have good FPS in a Benchmark and I have good FPS in Minecraft, but in Minetest I just get 30 FPS, even with a view range of 100 blocks, which is ridiculous bad

Re: New GPU, less FPS

I have a FX-6400, so no iGPU. I know, that the CPU is a limiting factor, but not in this case because I have much mor FPS with the GTX750. The new GPU runs fine on Ubuntu. I have more FPS in a benchmark and more FPS in Minecraft. It's even possible to play Minecraft with a shader. I get better perfo...

New GPU, less FPS

Hi, I had a Nvidia GTX750 and now I upgrade to a AMD RX570. This GPU should be much faster than, but I get horrible framerates, even in simple scenes. screenshot_20190902_104418.jpg I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and I use the latest amdgpu Pro driver Other games and benchmark tests run faster than before...

Re: Minetest is boring (clickbait) A few thoughts about Mine

I don't think I'll make any more contributions to Minetest, because all the work isn't worth it if it doesn't get any credit. As mentioned I don't want to make any contributions to Minetest, but mostly because I reached the limits of Lua and the Minetest engine itself and I'm not able (and willing)...

Re: Minetest is boring (clickbait) A few thoughts about Mine

Although Minetest was made to be an engine for mods... That's one point where I've been running into trouble lately. Randomly downloaded mods and, even more trouble, modpacks. I have downloaded some mods and modpacks via contentdb. I didn't pay attention and downloaded the Dreambuilder Modpack. Bec...

Re: Other, Superior Open Source Game Engines Exist Now... :D

Complete rewrite never solves all old issues, but always add a lot of new ones. I agree that you can add new issues, but I don't agree that you can't fix all old issues, except you want to keep backward compatibility. And because I know the core developers I know that they never will give up backwa...

Re: Other, Superior Open Source Game Engines Exist Now... :D

Switching to something like Godot would require a complete rewrite. It would be much simpler to change to something which has a similar architecture, like Ogre3d Irrlicht is blamed for a lot of problems, but most user visible problems are actually from minetest's code - not irrlicht I think, a comp...

Re: [Mod][Merged] Valleys Mapgen [valleys_mapgen]

No, I don't have specific messages. Minetest loads everything and instead of showing the map it crashes with a memory dump.

I use Ubuntu 18.04 with the daily PPA. I will try to compile Minetest from source. Maybe something is wrong with this.

Re: Minetest is boring (clickbait) A few thoughts about Mine

I don't think it's even possible with Minetest to create a game that is comparable to Minecraft in any way. What you can do with Minetest are minigames like Parkour, Escape or Jump Games. What also works well are pure build maps. But when it comes to a survival map you will reach the limits of Minet...

Just an example for content in Minecraft. I just walked around and suddenly I found an underwater structure. You can spend an hour or more just to explore this structure and try to find it's secrets. Too bad that without additional mods there are any secrets. The giant caves look awesome, yes, but ...

Yes. but for me it's a great opportunity to pursuit one's own ideas. Well, you are talking about coding and/or game design. It's true, Minetest is a good platform for people who want to realize own ideas (within the limitations of Minetest). And there are some good games out there. But all of them ...
