Re: [Mod] Mirror of Returning [1.0.2] [returnmirror]

The Mirror of Returning doesn't work with the new engraving table mod, because the engraving table requires right-clicking the table with an item to use it but the mirror already binds right-click. Is there a way for you to fix this, please? The author of the engraving table mod said this is somethi...

How fresh is "very fresh"? I had the latest dev build at the time of posting. Seems like that should have been new enough. I'll try building again today and see if I can get it working.

Re: [mod] Activate minimap [minimap]

Hm. I tried creating a "clientmods" directory next to the "mods" directory in my game and putting minimap/init.lua there. It doesn't crash the game, but it doesn't work. I thought maybe the issue was that I'd put it inside my custom game, so I moved the entire clientmods director...

Re: [Mod] Engraving Table - Change Item Descriptions [engrav

I added this to my game to label a specific item, but that item doesn't work with the engraving table. I'm hoping this can be fixed. The item that doesn't work is the mirror of returning, from this mod: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11224 The problem is, you have to right-click...

Re: [mod] Activate minimap [minimap]

I agree with Wuzzy, but until this option does exist in the engine, I'm all for this mod. This is something I've wanted for a while and have asked about on these forums before.

Re: [Feature POLL] Saving minetest screen size on resize

I'd just be happy for window resizing to work properly. If I resize my window, all the click points are wrong. You have to click over or under buttons to actually click them, etc. It's a lot of guesswork and really annoying. Unplayable, really. So I play at the default size. :-(

Since my detailed reply is now several pages back, let me tl;dr it and suggest "Minetest Launcher" (or similar) again. Is there any reason not to do that? 1.) It keeps the "Minetest" name, so no XBMC/Kodi issues. 2.) It makes it clear what a person is *actually* downloading, inst...

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)

I agree that we should avoid the word "mese". It's already confusing in the game itself. Meece? Meecy? Messy? Meekee? If Minetest is renamed, it should be something easy, unambiguous, and catchy. Again, though, are we (potentially) renaming the engine? Or Minetest Game? Or both? If the eng...

:-) Also, the mirror comes is really handy when digging deep. Set one to the surface, and keep another one that you can set to where you are before you travel back home. Instant way to get back to where you left off. One feature request, though maybe this is something more global than just this one ...

I like "openminer", but looks like it might not be unique. http://openminer.sourceforge.net/ Abandoned project, likely, but finding a unique name for people to search would be good.

Re: Sub game folder on mac OS X???????

The main directory for your Minetest content is ~/Library/Application Support/minetest/

~ is the same as /Users/<your username>

Inside that directory, you'll find the typical games, mods, and other directories. You'll put subgames into the games directory.

Shift not working right in the Mac builds. This is *super* annoying. - It keeps shift-clicking from working so no quick-moving items from inventory into chests, etc. - It adds an extra space when typing into the console (example: if I try to type "pick_stone" it ends up "pick _stone&q...

Re: Quick move of items in inventory?

I'm really glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Hopefully it gets fixed.

I'll look at Protector Redo, but I'm not really wanting to transfer all items. If the engine could be fixed such that shift-click works on Macs, that would be best.
