Minetest Forums

Oh, well for that I would plug it into a globalstep with a 30 second timer rather than using minetest.after().

Runs setPlayerSky for every player, but only does it every 2 seconds local timer = 0 local limit = 2 minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) timer = timer + dtime if timer < limit then return end timer = 0 for _, player in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do setPlayerSky(player) end end)

Agreed on the delete list idea, it seems like the best option.

Exile CSM This mod provides local control handling for Exile's v4 development branch, reading Aux1 and double-clicks of the shift key, to prevent multiplayer lag interfering with controls. It is included in the current v4 development branch on Codeberg, under utilities/, or you can get it here: htt...

Land of Catastrophe is down for the moment, as we've detected i/o errors with the disk. We will attempt recovery, and if that doesn't work, we will restore from a backup and put LoC back up soon. In the meantime, our development branch servers, "Land of Bugs" and "Exiled From the Othe...

Exile v0.3.17 is out with the following new features: Better feedback: Informational states displayed on the character tab Drystack and Rammed earth arches: build a wall, knock out the middle server command: /recover_inv <player> to restore inv lost on restart Edit: And v0.3.17b is out to fix a bug ...

Maybe try https://github.com/yl-whosit/petz -- it seems to be maintained

Yeah somebody who knows the x-enchanting mod would have to figure that out, I've never used it myself.

it will reduce your framerate

Is that still true with the client_mesh_chunk options in modern minetest?

Exile isn't doing conversion, weblate actually kinda sorta works on Minetest .tr files, using its text format option.

Great post, full of insight. I do want to say that the city is, frankly, unfinished. Dokimi got it to a bare minimum state, but it needs to be fleshed out from the rough, empty sketch that it is now. We hope to put a lot more into it in future updates.

A new Exile release is out with v0.3.16. We've bumped the minimum Minetest version to 5.5, and we're happy to say that Exile is now fully free/libre! Say hello to our brand new CC-BY-SA 4.0 Gundu model: https://files.catbox.moe/28wt2f.mp4 Changelog: - Replaced NC-licensed Gundu, Exile should be full...

Yes, swimming up flowing water has been disabled for a couple of years now in Exile, but it requires at least Minetest 5.5.0 in order work, prior to that the "water ladder" behavior was hard coded and could not be altered.

We had this same problem with potash in Exile, you need more entries in tiles/special tiles:
From lua_api:

Have you got "depends = default" in the mod.conf? If not the mod may load before default does, and be unable to find the global because it doesn't exist yet.

I don't know about the history of it, but it protects against all the standard hp-based damage in Exile, from entities and players to fall damage to lava.
If a mod explicitly ignores armor groups and applies damage by directly altering your hp levels then that would be a bug in that particular mod.

Would be easy enough to do, you just need a custom godmode priv and a set of minetest.on_player_join, on_priv_grant and on_priv_revoke hooks that do player:set_armor_groups({ immortal = 1}) or = 0 for the priv_revoke.

Yes, matterbridge can send to/from discord and MT chat both.

Worst bug IMO is the formspec bug which causes the username/password field to reset when the server list updates. It trips me up constantly!

Something like that, yeah.

The screwdriver has defined an function since way back in the 0.4 days, you should be able to use that.

Yes, I didn't consider updates. Not an insurmountable problem, but you'd want to save the entities and either alter or respawn them to update. That part is easy enough. Updating map blocks is trickier, you'd want some kind of diff system so you could apply the updated nodes without altering anything...

Minetest does not make it easy to make games with prebuilt maps and entities.

There's a mod for that, modgen. Dunno if it saves entities, but if not you can always add in an entity spawn node, and have an LBM spawn the entity there on first load.

Aww yeah, H.E.R.O. was great fun. This is a cool idea for a mod!

We now have a donations page set up, so you can fund the development of Exile. Lord-of-the-dumpster and I are in a tough spot financially, and could really use your support. https://liberapay.com/Exile-Team/ Thank you! That aside, work on the upcoming v4 major release continues apace. We're getting ...
