Server-Sent Client-Side Mods In Lua. Just because. This mod works by using a CSM counterpart in conjunction with mod channels. I don't recommend using this . It isn't particularly useful with the current client API, and it will also certainly break in the future. Also could be unstable. Server-Side...

sorry for resurrecting such an old thread but this in particular confuses me - I've never seen this mode with the minimap. Was it deprecated or does it require some other keystroke (combination) than F9? Thanks! I'm suspicious I might find this helpful underground. The correct key is F9 -- the xray...

As of commit e1fc72c, set_bone_position no longer breaks animations. No more need for hacks like playeranim.

With an entity and set_attach().

They would have to be new commands though, since unless I make a PR against WorldEdit itself, I can't edit the existing commands as far as I'm aware.

minetest.override_chatcommand(name, redefinition)

If you use entities and a lot of visual tricks, you can support any node. Seems more reasonable in my book. Worth the head-scratching if you can get it to work.

<snip> Have a look at this Its a 63loc hook using the already-existing controls API. Any mod that needs more control handling could roll it themselves (probably in less loc, too). A lot of game engines don't provide hooks (I'm not saying putting it in the engine is a bad idea, I'm just saying we do...

- Minetest is an engine or not. You say it is, but it still lacks of some core features such as input handling (yes, I know there is a mod for that, but it shouldn't be up to a mod) - Minetest Game will be removed or not. The game is horrible AND a bad Minecraft clone, yet core devs aren't sure abo...

You are badmouthing the Discord without valid reasons and not in an appropriate way. I beg to differ. Everything he said here, from what I saw at the UMTD's chat logs, was more-or-less truthful. This is an empty claim. I just looked through the logs myself and find only one mention of a user saying...

https://xkcd.com/927/ https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png This is why I've always disliked library mods. In theory they are great, but in practice no one can decide which one is best. For instance, we have 5 or more mob APIs, 3 physics APIs, ~2 plant APIs, and plenty of others. We shouldn't ...

Actually no. Minetest is a voxel engine for games. “Minetest Game” is unfortunately shipped as default game (and stupidly provides some existential APIs that are used by most mods and other games so it can’t be removed without having those APIs separated from it first). If they can’t be separated e...

Wenn Sie IRC nicht verwenden möchten, enthält der Minetest Unofficial Discord Server bereits einen deutschen Kanal https://discord.gg/6W84ytH :)

Hello all! Some of you may have heard about the Minetest Discord server. Ever so often we run Minetest events for members to participate in. We have decided to host a Modding Jam, and we would like to spread the word about it! Minetest Unofficial Discord Mod Jam Theme: Combat (Decided by Discord vot...

vector.apply(v, math.abs) but ok.

The entity should not just "despawn" when it hits something. The only reason an entity will despawn is because you tell it to, or it unloads because it isn't within an active mapblock. You seem to be very unsure as to the reason, so I suggest doing a lot of debugging. - Does set_attach even try to r...

Yes, Blender is the best tool for this. And yes, you need to add an armature skeleton. Blitz3D and DirectX save the armature of the mesh and animate that rather than the mesh itself. For a simple rotating cube, you only need a single bone. Parent the cube to the armature with matching vertex groups,...

I suggest looking into my bicycle implementation for inspiration.

Mesecon noteblocks start on C# when placed, for some stupid reason. The lowest note is still C, but you have to rotate all the way around to get to it.

Blender Game Engine was defunct as of Blender 2.80.

The meshport mod provides this, I suggest looking into it.

If you use an IDE such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or Atom, I suggest you set up an auto-linter to help catch issues like this. See the Automatic Error Checking section in Rubenwardy's Modding Book.

Also, please mark the thread title as [SOLVED] ;)

The value is 60 because the worldgen uses an equation based on depth, pressure, darkness, tempurature, etc, and calculates what biome to generate there. Ah, I see. Back to the actual error, the key-value pair makes sense in the context of a table, but your code snippet lacks surrounding context, so...

Without the surrounding context, I am guessing you are using the table key notation ( [index] = value ) outside of a table. That is only valid when defining a table. I don't understand why the key is 60, because numbered keys don't require explicit notation (not important though). If you change the ...

signs_lib already uses this method with a single entity per-sign.
You cant dynamically set node textures.

Update: 1.3.1
I did an oops when generating the code snippets and managed to cut off the first word of a lot methods (ie. set_pos() would become _pos()).
This is now fixed.
