If I connect to a Minetest server which only has the vanilla Minetest Game v5.1.0, my client will download textures, models and sounds from that server even if I actually have installed Minetest Game v5.1.0 on my client. Is it correct? Would not make more sense using the textures, models and sounds...

It must be said that Voxelands was and still is better than Minetest regarding networking: Voxelands did not downloaded anything but the sever's map and the players' positions, while Minetest downloads every single sever's mod (even if vanilla, even if exactly the same build!), and even if you re-j...

Oh wow, this looks really cool!

It's not currently possible, so no

You barely gave any relevant information to actually let us help you, and then went with the lazy solution. My first question was about the full nature of the problem, then the second question was after I was trying to find the full code to be able to reproduce it if a simple example didn't. I work ...

Solved by reverting back to 0.4.14. Using software 6 versions and 3 years out of date isn't a solution Also, I can't find a mod called "framework" by PilzAdam. If you're referring to either Simple Mobs by PilzAdam or Animal Framework by sapier , then you should use Mobs Redo instead - it'...

Server owners are free to run their servers how they wish. Servers are only banned from the list when they abuse it or we believe that they are breaking the law. When server-sent client-side mods are implemented, servers will probably also be banned for doing things are legally a grey area, such as ...

You want an item detecting tube with a meselamp or some mese-powered light

Please note that schematics actually has two different file formats, the most common one is a binary format but a Lua-based format is also supported. Minetest has functions for converting between both of these. The main benefit of schematics isn't so much the file format but how much faster they are...

0.4.16 is over 2 years out of date. The latest version is 5.1.0, released a few days ago. I say this because we don't support outdated versions (ie: if this is an engine bug only in 0.4.16, we won't fix it) Also, when asking for help you should say what it is that isn't working. For example, does it...

ContentDB seems overmoderated for a site which operation relies on availability and whims of a single individual. I have given permissions to 6 other people to allow them to moderate content, but I'm still the only person that checks it. I think I'll make an email notifier to bug these people when ...

runs wrote:It is your awards mod rubenwardy. Could you fix it?

It's been on my to-do list for a while, but given that it's not actually a problem it's pretty near the bottom

I think that ContentDB solves this usecase in a much better way

I get the following error (but no crash) when I firstly enter into a new created world: 2019-10-14 15:49:57: ERROR[Main]: Failed to parse json data * Line 1, Column 1 2019-10-14 15:49:57: ERROR[Main]: Syntax error: value, object or array expected. 2019-10-14 15:49:57: ERROR[Main]: data: ""...

Linuxdirk is correct, it's based on the forum topic currently with certain things being penalised. The algorithm was designed to obtain an initial ordering of packages which historically used the forums for distribution. This was intended to be temporary whilst I work out how to do it better, but I ...

minetest.sha1 exists

runs wrote:v4.1
- Fix: Remove awards.

The error is because the mod doesn't soft depend on awards, so awards isn't loaded first. However, given that there's only a single awards it's probably best to disable awards support for now

GayJesus wrote:The first menu should be language selection.

I disagree with this, Minetest detecting the system language is the correct behaviour, as it does currently. The first screen should have an icon/button for changing language, but nothing more

@ rubenwardy: why there is no ingame function (mods, texturepacks and games) available? is it because the features freeze is still active with the RC-1? thx Not sure what you mean, but: You need to install minetest game as it doesn't come preinstalled with the daily windows build. Also note that th...

I don't understand what you're trying to ask

Is it stuck on "creating a server"?

Try os.getlocale I know setlocale exists, not sure about the counter part

Or os.getenv("LANG"), but not sure if that's portable

Translations are allowed in feature freezes, updating the translations is part of the standard release process

As for actual features, submission date doesn't matter. Only the merging of bugfixes and essential maintenance is permitted, regardless of when the PR was created

This mod is very broken. I suggest using "shooter" by stujones

Skamiz Kazzarch wrote:Did you disable mod security like described in the post? If it isn't that, I am out of advice.

Never, ever, disable mod security. Any mod that asks you to do that is badly programmed. Mods which need extra permissions should be made into trusted mods

I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention. I just want to show an example of how to add more information to the minetest interface to help new user understand how to use this software, not to make anybody feel awkwardly or embarrassingly. I don't know what you exactly mean, but I guess you understand wha...
