Ugh! Not this argument again. If you want a more exciting (note that I didn't say better) default game, MAKE a game that meets your requirements, AND get EVERYONE to agree that it's better AND EASIER TO MAINTAIN than the current default. If one man is developing and maintaining the game, the project...

I want to use open-mapgen (posting here because the official thread is dead) for a school project I think you'd have better luck posting to the project thread, anyway. Gael de Sailly is more likely to monitor his own posts; but don't expect an immediate response, as he may not be working on minetes...

I created a Safe node that encrypts its inventory using a block-chain cipher with 128-bit private/public key pair. It's designed to thwart hackers using modded clients (or local map saves) to inspect other players' personal belongings. Cool, but is this really an issue? Why does anyone worry that s...

Judging by earlier posts, your experience doesn't seem to be typical. : )

You need to publish the modified source code of the engine and any other LGPL code, such as most of the mods in MTG, builtin, the Java wrapper, etc. But if they don't directly modify it -- link to existing libraries, call mod functions from another mod, etc. -- they don't have to publish their own ...

Minetest is LGPL isn't it? Not publishing source code or sharing a derivative is a violation of that. This is not the GPL we're talking about, it's the LGPL. As I understand it, you only have to publish the ORIGINAL source, as in put a link to github anywhere on your website, or in your client. It'...

Maybe some server side checks to hit non-official clients with a message to use the official client could combat some of the questionable forks. That works until the fake clients announce themselves as an official client. I can guarantee that there is no technical solution for this issue. Any softw...

My problem is that Android is full of proprietary forks that quite frankly violate the license but nobody cares. People do care. I care. I hate it when free software is abused. However, I try to be realistic about this stuff, and no one (including you) has suggested a reasonable solution yet. Playe...

Don’t use intentionally malicious edge cases as your default for decisions. So the developers are supposed to just say, "Bad boy! Don't do that."? If someone is smart enough to link an ad platform into their client, getting past any open-source block would be trivial. Certainly the developers' opin...

Hehe. I like it, but it still seems like cheating. I did basically the same thing, but the lights were only temporary.

Have you tried using check_single_for_falling, instead of punch_node?

Edit: or check_for_falling, for that matter. If you're only affecting a single node, you might miss some if you happen to process them in the wrong order.

It's pretty, but I don't like the square bales of dry grass.

a fork can simply announce itself as normal Minetest server anyways

I'm sure you read this already, so what's your solution?

Impressive. I'm waiting for the ryzen clone that takes up the whole world and has cycle times measured in months. : )

So how does the server owner or single player adjust the gamma back to the good ol 4.16 days? I agree "Server should decide", and I decide I want it that way in single player at least. If I ever do run a public server I'll do the same. Please look at the second image I uploaded "black" This should ...

I don't consider dim visability "cheating". If you read the link you posted, you'll know that some people do. What's the point of massive caverns if you can only see a feww nodes away? I agree that nothing in the game should be completely dark. However, that's up to the person running the server to...

I've been trying this mod, it is great and it is a pity that has been abandoned. Just a question: how many files can be opened by LUA? I'm asking because another mod is conflicting, making the game crash and dumping in the debug.txt "Too many files opened". I pushed a change to explicitly close the...

blockiness of MT worlds seems to render them completely incompatible with painting art The last time I went to my local gallery, there was very little there that looked as natural as a minetest screenshot. I've been told that painting has to be unnatural in order to differentiate itself from photog...

Biomes don't affect the shape of the terrain -- they just control decorations and soil types.

Survival of the fittest ( survival of the ruthlessly wicked ) is not the supreme law of the universe. Remember that survival of the fittest also means survival of the fittest group -- that's why we learned to love each other to begin with. And why cats can never form the same sort of bond with peop...

How would I make a mod that places a duplicate of the terrain really high up. Except replacing certain nodes with replacement nodes You can either get into the C code of the game and make it duplicate terrain , or you can recreate the base mapgen in lua. Needless to say, this is easier if you just ...

You could always use bonemeal to grow it faster.
