Re: What Git (or other) repo are people migrating to?
I'm not quite used to git. Is it easy to maintain mirrors ? With pure Git (so no hosted service with web interface) that would normally be done using a sync script or using hooks in the source repository that push the changes to the mirror. This mechanism of using hooks is how one can mirror to Git...

Re: What Git (or other) repo are people migrating to?
Gitea.io is not a standalone service, it's just the website for the software. People can use it on their own servers. Mesehub is an Gitea instance. Clearly recommend. Gitea does not have any freedom issues. It's basically a free GitHub clone, except you can ACTUALLY DISABLE PULL REQUESTS! YES! xD B...

What Git (or other) repo are people migrating to?
Just want to get a bit of a feel where everyone is migrating their Minetest mod source code to (if at all, hence the stay option ;-) This is for your primary repo, not mirrored ones. You can however choose multiple repositories (just for those that actually use multiple hosters for their primary rep...

Re: [mod] Grafitti API (grafitti)
Thank you! Beerholder: good idea, but your mod actually supports only 6x6 canvas and is hardcoded. Im getting runtime error when i use other canvases. Well for the painting mod support part I decided one 6x6, 12x12 and 24x24 as hard coded sizes as that makes it easy to resize the armor texture in o...

The one I had offered a way to register canvases via a painting object API. I cannot remember how or what I did to ge...

Re: [Mod] 3D Armor Painted Banners [painted_3d_armor]
Once I am back, this weekend, I will check compatibility with the latest versions of MT (0.4.17x and 0.5) as well as latest versions of 3d_armor, shields and MT game. I will also look into removing some of the code overriding 3d_armor, as it keeps me from moving this to mod releases.

Beerholder mods are always above and beyond impressive :) Aww thanks sorcerykid :D Quick question: Is there any reason this multi-map concept couldn't eventually be implemented as a C++ mapgen wrapper?

Re: [Mod/ Mapgen] Multiple Map Layer Generator [multi_map]
The mod idea is promising - but I'm missing something. How would I register a new layer from my Lua mapgen using this mod? Increasing the variable `multi_map.number_of_layers` by one sounds quite dangerous since it might offset all other registered layers. I must admit I haven't had a chance to doc...

Re: Multi Map proof of concept
Hmm i see you have recreated the engine's mapgen lighting in lua, this is not a good idea as Lua is too slow to do this at a reasonable speed. It's also unnecessary as other methods can be used to solve the problem. It's always best to use the engine's lighting code as Lua mapgens are already slow ...
