Player metadata and mod storage differ slightly: Mod storage also allows you to store key-value pairs that are not tied to players, and is also accessible while players are offline. There are two cases to consider: (1) removal of a player; (2) removal of a mod / disabling a mod in a world. (1) will ...

That approach works. It's also possible to use the auth handler to go through all player auth entries (whether the player is online or not), revoking privs that aren't registered anymore. The advantage of this is that it can also revoke privileges of offline players.

what about the bird noises? yall seem to only care about the skybox switch.

You tell me after you've profiled.

This is premature optimization (look the term up online to know what it is and why it's generally considered bad practice). A cheap globalstep - and everything presented so far looks very cheap - is not a performance concern. If you want to find out what the actual performance problem is, use jitpro...

Would making it an entity work with just the image, or would I have to put some model in? I've seen 2D entities before so I imagine not, and I could look myself, but thought to may as well ask while I'm at it X3 Yes, "2d entities" (sprite, upright sprite visual types) are a thing. But you...

Hmm... Would I be able to hide and unhide the hand in runtime? Yes, see player:hud_set_flags . First-person attachments? :o Like having an entity attach and only be visible to the player? I haven't looked into such yet beyond a quick skim, what would I use in specific? :o Yes, attach and be visible...

Please file an issue so we know that you're relying on this and don't break it in the future. I'm not so sure that it should work. I would have thought it would need a deep table copy of the original, a deletion of the relevant function, an unregister_item then a register_<node|craftitem|tool> agai...

Hiding the hand is a special feature (HUD flag). There is hardly any wieldhand "animation" control besides this.

To an extent, it might be possible to implement what you want using first-person attachments.

Please file an issue so we know that you're relying on this and don't break it in the future.

I would say this is a known limitation. You are right that this needs a clientside solution if you don't want it to be janky. Client mods are a thing, but a bit crippled, and can not be required or sent by servers (yet). Related issues: Server-provided client-side scripting , allow clientside custom...

* remove player gravity multiplier (*2) Hopefully a replacement will be provided, because that's a cornerstone for my game. Currently, the engine even handles negative gravity multipliers as expected, which is awesome. I don't think the meaning here is to remove a feature of player physics override...

Do your clouds work or not? If not, please report a bug on our bugtracker, with as many details as possible. If you're using a dev build, this could be related to https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/14395.

I have returned to (reactivated) my Juanpy project . It is a 2D minetest. [...] It is made in Love2D. https://love2d.org/ Cool! Love2D & Lua are a good choice for a little 2d game. Sorry, this post is an eye opener. I don't personally like the way Minetest has been going this past year. What, o...

https://www.infoworld.com/article/3713203/white-house-urges-developers-to-dump-c-and-c.html We should migrate the code to Python or Rust. I don't program in C++. I absolutely refuse. It's not the right language, it's over 70 years old! It is old and unused today. It is better to do it now before it...

Please provide the code or a link to the code (source & liquid node definitions). Otherwise, we can't help you.

It's commonly assumed that player ObjectRefs are immutable (while the player is online) and unique by MineClone developers and myself. Please, if you make such assumptions, also open (or comment on) corresponding feature requests - or even better, open a PR to document this right away - so that we ...

@BlockHead - It would be even better if we were able to read moveresults for the player object :) I definitely agree, why is that even absent..? I think it's only available for entities like mobs? Architectural reasons, I would assume. I don't think the server does player collisions; the clients do...

I just found there's also a Lua implementation of Ink, so it could be integrated in Minetest as a mod rather than a C++ engine feature. (I can foresee that Ink support might be a little too left-field to merge into Minetest, so having it as a mod would prevent making someone maintain a Minetest+Ink...

Hey, I want to an account for my projects. Thanks.

The wiki is not for self-promotion. Minetest-related mods and games should better have their info on ContentDB or the forums (as has been pointed out already).

The media sending process should probably be async (if possible). I agree that files should also be cached in memory (that's what my remote media server written in Java did in fact, not that I would necessarily recommend running it :P). Suggestion: You could consider setting a limit on media memory ...

Then you could consider increasing the "max_packets_per_iteration" setting. You might also want to look into remote media if you find that this reduces the performance of your server too much.

Hi! It's quite well polished in a gameplay sense. That's great, we could use more of that. I've been hesitant in the past to do this due to all the concerns about copyright, etc. but I suppose the whole point is to get help making sure it's clean before submission. Part of my hesitance comes from ha...

I was thinking the blender file can be made into a b3d file from something I do not remember, though it may have been a python file on this forum. You're probably thinking of GreenXenith's b3d exporter . Though what other file formats can be used with minetest now or in more early versions, like 5....

And the discussion doesn't REALLY read like "we simply ignore it", […] In the end, exactly THIS is the statement that is conveyed through comments, IRC discussions, and actions. I stopped caring for MT development long time ago because it is always like that – and I stopped using Microsof...
