Using Wine kind of defeats the "running natively" concept.

As noted above, FPS originally was ZERO, openGL would segfault when rendering mesh, null would fail with a floating point exception, direct3d is not an option with Linux, and software rendering would render (around 15FPS) but would not render any block that was not entirely on the screen. In the end...

Well, this seems to be resolved by updating openGL ES libraries and using the burningsvideo option for video driver. Not ideal but playable.

Gotcha on the capitalization of mod names.

Yes, it needed some touch up, but it is one mod that I have enjoyed using. Eventually I will get the varied pieces that I am working on together into one mod and post it.

Thanks for the reply’s. From usage, I have found some of the larger mods such as BUILDING-BLOCKS and MOREBLOCKS seem to be harder on my system than several small ones. I normally run DOORS, MOREORES, GATES, and the SANDSTONE ones along with a few that I have made for personal use. Personally, I like...

Just a quick question, which seems to cause the least dent in performance: many small mods or a single large one? I have used both, but I cannot seem to decide which effects things more.

Yes, I have ran both 0.1 and 0.2 on it at various times. I have not ran 0.3 (rather opting to put it on the desktop). After my earlier posts, I compiled 0.3.1 and it shows the same issues that the minetest-delta fork have. Namely, any block that extends beyond the edge of the screen does not render....

As a further note, I can run the minetest-delta fork off of the get-deb repo with acceptable framerate, however, any node touching the window edge doesn't render.

Thanks for the reply Topywo, even if it didn't get me any closer to running the game on this machine.

Ideally, that would be the solution, or at least a step in troubleshooting, however, I only installed from ppa because of an issue in pulling in the proper versions the requirements to compile the code, most cases being that the dev versions of the requirements would roll programs back to previous v...

Well, I ran into this after installing the most recent dev snapshot from ppa. At the "Updating textures and meshes in item definitions" stage it gives me a SEGMENTATION FAULT. Probably a setting that I am just missing, however, I have ran various versions on several different computers and...

Nice, now if this could be formed into a submenu off of the main one with repositories and synaptic like action, then it would go a ways towards helping minetest form its own niche separate from that other game. It would also simplify things and help gain appeal with non-computer savy potential user...
