Worth noting that you should make sure your crawler doesn't DDoS the website (ie: rate limit it) and ask celeron55 for permission/the best times to crawl. Also worth noting that such a project would be completely pointless given the multitude of good crawlers already available with good public APIs

Our IP has been banned while we were playing. Reason is anti cheat v01 but as far as we know we were not doing anything wrong. User majochup and upie2. Would you please let us know what we were doing wrong and unban us? Thank you. Checked the logs to manually verify, and I can see this was an error...

That's a warning, not an error. Look at the bottom of debug.txt (do this after you get the crash and closing the client)

Not that I know of, but the algorithm is pretty easy. If you Google cube-cube collision, you'll find this: return (A.min.x <= B.max.x) && (A.max.x >= B.min.x) && (A.min.y <= B.max.y) && (A.max.y >= B.min.y) && (A.min.z <= B.max.z) && (A.max.z >= B.min.z);

It doesn't stop people from developing games, just from distributing and promoting proprietary ones on the forums. This puts them at the level of any other non-minetest game anyway

It's a custom designed database format. You may gain speed but you lose reliability and the use of standard tools. Plus the engine will soon support other databases like postgresql which will be faster Also worth noting that percentages aren't a good way to measure performance anyway - 1ms is twice ...

Python is very often compared to compiled languages such as C, not even C++... because of its speed!

But not positively https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debia ... thon3.html

Both ContentDB and the forums now require licenses to allow redistribution and to not discriminate. Exact wording: Allowed licenses: The use of licenses which do not allow derivatives or redistribution is not permitted for mods, games, and texture packs. This includes CC-ND (No-Derivatives) and most...

This is very impressive looking! How well does it perform on a bigger explosion? Are you using the engine's raycast API?

The reason for this is simple: Minecraft maps only have a vertical range of like, 4.

Yeah, and it's also not a valid position

Unfortunately, this is all Twitter allows. I wanted to compare the two communities, which is why I kept the questions and format the same

I agree, this is turning out very impressive. I'm not entirely convinced on the textures though

1. set_node takes a node, not a node name. So { name = "ma_pops_furniture:table_c2_wood" } not "ma_pops_furniture:table_c2_wood" 2. use parentheses when calling a function like so minetest.get_node({pos.x+1, pos.y, pos.z}).name. Every time you miss the parentheses, a puppy dies

I ran this poll on Twitter and got an interesting result, so I thought I'd post it here too. Please pick the one that most applies to you. Here is the poll on Twitter. I put this in a spoiler to reduce the chance of it affecting the result of this poll https://twitter.com/MinetestProject/status/1027...

but Lua is faster This may not be as true once you discard LuaJIT from the equation. Lua is a lot less appealing without LuaJIT, and LuaJIT is becoming more and more unusable. Python is easier for larger programs, is more well known, and is more appealing to educators. But it isn't suitable to Mine...

The thing is that by using a restrictive license, you're actually keeping all the power to yourself. No one else can legally fix the thing if it's broken - they must wait for you to do so. Even if you've disappeared from the community. They also can't make full use of it in their derivative work (ie...

Looks good though

I very much doubt this is the case

Look useful! And good to see another mod from you

Added allowed licenses

Updated the change log for 5.0.0-dev, it's long: https://dev.minetest.net/Changelog

(Still needs some cleaning up to remove similar things, and aim it more at end users)

High. Don't do this The book's content will be sent to players whenever they load a chunk which has a chest with the book in, and when they have it in their inventory This can cause quite a lot of transfer and excess bandwidth usage. It would be better to store the contents separately, maybe in its ...

Didn't this already exist? I thought I recalled seeing it somewhere. This was added quite a few months ago, I've only just made an announcement Can this be used to remove the default gui things? I prefer the plain formspecs. Sure! You can make a mod to remove the background and just have a bgcolor ...

OldCoder has been banned community-wide (forums, GitHub, IRC...)
