I should say that seeing in the dark is cheating. But there is no way to control it. So I can't take issue with anyone using the see in the dark with fog bug until it gets fixed. MustTest may have figured out how to completely get rid of seeing in the dark on his server. I think he also got rid of ...

Proper laser beams are possible. Lighting is tricky though.

And who said thos accs are mine? You cant prove it noob

This reaction alone half-proves it. Besides, the admin can check your IP.

IP checks are unreliable because of VPNs and dynamic IPs.

Where's the mod?

On CDB & GitHub - will update the readme to include the links.

Latest update breaks the Advanced Weapons mod. I had to rollback to the previous version to start the server. You are right, the last update does in fact break that mod. I have updated all my mods (at least on GitHub) except for adv_weapons (big update upcoming, the current version contains a handf...

The idea of people able to essentially just steal your work is incredibly off putting. Except that this is pretty much what you were planning to do if you use the Minetest (Game) codebase? I'll just stick with my original plans and mod for Minecraft where this isn't possible. Minecraft modding is f...

I think this will make med-kits better. If each med-kit has 20 hp of healing power, and each time you use a med-kit, the number of hp you were healed will be subtracted from the med-kit. And if your healing is interrupted, you keep the med-kit, and however much healing you got will be subtracted fr...

Rather go for an SSD than many cores if hosting a server. Disk access can considerably slow down your server if there's lots of changes in the world (for example in creative servers).

That is because underch and moreblocks probably have some compat implemented using if advtrains then ... end. Minetest requires you to use minetest.global_exists("advtrains") (or rawget(_G, "advtrains")) for no warning to be printed.

Congratulations!
And thank you all for your work. :)

Couldn't have said it any better.

Now this looks like it's a Minetest bug. For a reason, minetest.registered_nodes["stairs:stair_cobble"] isn't nil but the node doesn't exist. I will make a workaround.

"stairs:stair_cobble" is an alias, probably get_content_id doesn't work with aliases?

This code is just how ternaries are usually written in Lua:

Take this C/JS/Java/whatever: bool_a ? value_b:value_c

In Lua, you can write this as: bool_a and value_b or value_c

We expect value_b (minetest.get_translator("modname") in our case) to be truthy for this to work.

Why start with Minetest Game and not the games I mentioned? Those are far closer to what you are trying to achieve.

I have a very good experience (60 FPS constantly with high viewranges) using a Rzyen 3500U.

For quick compat, I suggest local T = minetest.get_translator and minetest.get_translator("modname") or function(text) return text end

There are already games with a similar genre, see Hades Revisited and NewPlanet.

I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on this alternative suggestion!

I support this.

I`ve made a dummy player, so it is created automatically when a real player has gone into a vehicle and his hands have become visible: (Img) Unfortunately, it is impossible to force a real player to be invisible in third-person view if he is attached to entity. Hence the following screenshot is not...

My only suggestion is that the website icon may benefit from differentiating from Minetest's. (I bring this up as I was searching my history to find the site, and didn't see it for a minute as its icon blended with the forum's.) Yeah, it should be. But I couldn't think of a good item highlighting b...

ANAND / ClobberXD is now a core developer. More people are being considered

Great!

For increased intuitivity, I would rather recommend something like lifetime_min and lifetime_max.

The “lack of dev time” is a myth. There IS plenty of dev time. Look at how many volunteer coders we have! It's just that the majority are not core devs, that's all. What we have is a lack of CORE dev time. Subtle difference. Also, the way the system works is that contributors are still kinda treate...
