Re: Why client-sided scripting?

.... why would editing the menu be relevant to "client side scripting"? Because you can't do it from a server side mod? And why would you want a mod to be able to modify the menu? Mods aren't loaded until the local server (for offline games) is started anyway. Because I would like to edit...

Ooh I know, but it isn't possible to edit it using a mod. We have to modify the core instead. It would be great to do that from a subgame for example.

Re: Why client-sided scripting?

I believe it makes it possible for mods to listen to key presses (once the callbacks are implemented of course) which is great. Maybe it'll also make it possible to edit the main menu (read: launcher) using mods?

Re: What is, what will, what sould be Minetest?

That I understand, but that doesn't immediately mean you shouldn't provide a fun, good experience out of the box... People will still be able to extend and improve it how they want it, why would changing some stuff around prevent that?

Re: What is, what will, what sould be Minetest?

Ya' know you can do an easily menu for the game... Actually being made in LUA, so it's easy! Also, as well you can add the menus from forks, likely Freeminer... See, that's the usual dev response from FOSS projects, and it's quite a problem. Just because I have some critics/discussion points, doesn...

Re: What is, what will, what sould be Minetest?

So, I'm just going to throw in my dime (is that how the saying goes?), if you guys don't mind. I originally found Minetest when looking for a good FOSS alternative to Minecraft. Minecraft is awesome and all, but it lacks stuff like a proper modding API, cubic chunks (or at least chunks bigger than 2...

2) I dont work on this anymore.
Seeing this, is there any game or mod that aims to be like more recent versions of Minecraft? I realize not everything can be exactly mimicked, but the current version feels really... old.

Re: [Mod] Minecraft like item drop/pick up [item_drop]

So am I right assuming it won't be fixed in this mod itself? Do I actually need a modified version?

Re: Hard time setting up a server

Inside your world folder make a folder called worldmods. Put your mods in there. Well like I said, I did that, but I'm not entirely sure it's the good way to go for mods that require ores and blocks to be generated with the world. Also, I now just put all mods in 1 directory "$HOME/.minetest/m...

Hard time setting up a server

Hey all, this is my first time experimenting with Minetest. Using Ubuntu 14.04 and minetest-server installed from the official repositories, I can succesfully start a server using minetestserver --info However this defaults to the worldname "world" and gameid "minetest". I tried ...
