Re: iOS?

Problem isn't the legality of jailbreaking but the fact that few people do it, mean that only a small number of people will be even able to use minetest on iOS. On the other hand it will make creating adware filled clones even easier, something that most people would agree is a bad thing. Of course...

Re: Minetest build script for POSIX

apt-get isn't on all POSIX computers, ie: it's not on MacOS
It's not on Suse, Slax, Redhat either... Like you said, only debian derived... Maybe poster should just say -> Debian derrived Linux distributions. In the hope that the repositories are correct.

Looks like you are trying hard for it to work.

Re: Rebuild from scratch on Xamarin, different engine...

Considering I'm writing in c# and not c++ and working on a different game engine, I cannot really copy anything... Not knowing for sure but I don't think nodeboxes, b3d files or obj files are being translated to vertex triangles in the original code... Also consider I'm swapping everything between l...

Re: Rebuild from scratch on Xamarin, different engine...

I have a "low end" Intel system with an Intel x5-Z8350 QuadCore 1.44Ghz (1.92GHz) . Don't get more than 30fps wow, so you can play the game, then? My main PC is a little bit stronger. I just wonder how you can get 60fps. Or is it a faster CPU? i3? i5? Lower the quality in the settings? :D

Re: Rebuild from scratch on Xamarin, different engine...

I should add that it would be preferable to make something from the existing codebase though. By making it in a different language, you're going to have to do a lot of work to get future client-side Lua to work and we can't backport your fixes or anything. Also you can't use our updates and have to...

Re: Rebuild from scratch on Xamarin, different engine...

I'm going to guess Vibrocil isn't going to make anything worse than the existing apple store ripoffs that sell in-game privileges for money, so I wish the best of luck to this. Of course, open source would be very welcome. Minetest wouldn't have become what it is without it being open source, so I ...

As I rebuild from scratch and work in C# instead of C++ I won't be releasing any of my code...

Dear readers, As I have children with cheap chinese tablets who want to play minetest and could not connect to my server due to memory limitation (512MB) I decided to rewrite the minetest client. Right now I'm in alpha stage, only very basic functionality works and only the "default game" ...

Re: (Poll) What needs improved in the Android port of Minete

My main thought with other phones is that it does not have enough memory to handle all the mods. Creating server without mods allows older devices to connect and play. What troubles me is that it just exits the game without any information in debug.txt. I've read around the forum (probably old post)...
