Wyverns having 2 legs and dragons 4 is pretty much a D&D thing, historically the distinctions were not clear and simple. D&D did a lot of that in systematizing mythology for gameplay use, turning broad and often nebulous mythical concepts into narrow categories with simple, concrete rules.

I use the latest amdgpu Pro driver I've heard of people having weird performance issues with the Pro driver before, maybe give the regular amdgpu driver a try. Just because it says "Pro" doesn't mean it's better, the "pros" who develop ATI/AMD's official drivers have always been...

This really would be solved if the original FOSS software had more visibility. That's more or less true, though I don't think it's visibility that's the main problem. People like "free" and can go pretty far to get it. These forks are competing with free, so to get people to pay or watch ...

"Evolutiontest" is a working title, and I'm thinking of changing it to "Dawn" or "Evolution." Gonna throw out "The Test of Time" as a suggestion. For you non-English speakers, it's a common idiom. Something is said to have "stood the test of time" i...

I thought making a 3KM+ bridge was a good idea. I was wrong. I finished the bridge top part, but I'm making each pillar now. I already built 12 of them… but I need 320 of them… The best for the end… even when I will be finished with the 320 pillars, I'll have to do another bridge of the same size n...

Looks like a bulldog to me.

Absolutely, refactoring existing code is virtually always better than trying to get a whole new codebase up and running.

Mapgen shouldn't be linked to the graphics engine in any way. I mean I guess it's possible, I haven't looked at the code for that, but that would be a weird decision on the behalf of the devs. Off the top of my head early in the morning, I imagine you're probably looking at display, input, model loa...

It's the nature of free open source software. I'm not so sure about that. It seems like the problem isn't that it's open source, it's that very few people around here have a clear, defined vision of what this game is supposed to be. That's a problem with most non-commercial game projects. (And even...

It looks like it should be https://github.com/runsy/petz/archive/mobkit.zip

Wait, Minecraft has a story?

Some may argue we should write our own graphics engine Oh, hell no. The amount of work required goes, in order of difficulty: 1. Keep using Irrlicht until it breaks 2. Port to a different engine 3. Take over development of Irrlicht 4. Build a whole new graphics engine We're currently on 1, and some...

Runs, I think the thing people are saying is that a lot of those long-requested features and long-standing bugs are down to Irrlicht, and there's little chance the situation will improve without moving to an engine that doesn't have Irrlicht's flaws and limitations. A glance at the commit log sugges...

you really can't expect much when everything what happens in the world is confined to the nearest player's neighborhood and nothing happens beyond. I don't know about that, Cataclysm has a similar "reality bubble" system where things are only loaded in a radius around the player, but it m...

Calinou: You're just repeating what I said - the FSF will help people who want to defend their copyrights. I did not say "they'll go to court in your stead because they own your copyrights" or whatever strange thing it is you seem to have read in my post. ShadMOrdre: By "that kind of ...

I think that kind of action may reflect poorly if it ever came to court.

If they don't comply with the license, contact the FSF, they often help projects defend their copyrights.

"No true Scotsman", huh? ;-) He didn't make that sort of argument at all, he gave a specific definition of what a game is, one which is well-known and which excludes that sort of play. That's very different from "yeah that's not a real game tho." A No True Scotsman is a kind of ...

It's hiding spoilers about a secret feature of the mod.

No problem, L22! Here's the relevant bit from dna_cultivator.lua: minetest.register_craft({ output = "prehistoric_life:dna_cultivator", recipe = { {"default:glass", "default:glass", "default:glass"}, {"default:glass", "bucket:bucket_water",...

You guys know "test" is also used to mean a challenge, right?

I think something getting lost in here is that apart from whether or not they should ape the flashy kid-oriented Minecraft videos, (they shouldn't!) I feel like the Minetest video community could still improve their craft (heh) in places. Like I don't wanna point fingers, but some folks could do wit...

Isn't this a case where you were downloading an outdated version, not the most current one?
But yeah, I feel you there, the github -> gitlab switch bit me too.

Even ext2 supported 16gb files.
