Slight problem... from my experience they spawn anywhere in any light so now-where is safe. My idea was to make them spawn in time intervals. The interval could be set higher like 2min spawning then 5min peace. However, I did not want to just destroy all zombies at the end of the spawning phase. Th...

I was aiming for a cooperative fighting experience. Inspiration from Left 2 Dead and Serious Sam rethought within Minetest. I believe minetest will never be a good engine for a shooter, because low latency/fast reaction is not a goal of sandbox games. Nevertheless we can use different weapons. Melee...

So, to start off, no matter how many times I reinstall Minetest, I have to run it as administrator, or else it will crash to desktop with no error after a few seconds in game. I run in Windows 8. Could this be the issue? Any fixes to this would be great. Could you file this as a bugreport on Github...

Build does not exist anymore in the latest version (0.4.7). So does Survival. There is only minetest_game, the default mode.

Is it actually a good idea to have a light level per node ? The wall of a house can be brightly lit on the outside, but pitch black on the inside. A light level per surface makes more sense. Eventually you want hardware lightning, because it gives the most beautiful results. The light level of nodes...

So we need an efficient Lua API for Mobs, before they can go into default?

Surely a lot of AI stuff is resource-intensive and must be written in C++.

This should do the trick: local add_node = minetest.add_node add_node({x=x,y=y,z=z},{name="default:stone"}) I'm curious, why does this make adding a node faster? In scripting languages practically everything is a hash map (Javascript,Python,Lua,Ruby,etc). This means "minetest.add_nod...

Famish includes both of them, although some animals of mobf are removed. For example, vombies do not match the art style.

I have not found big differences in the mob behavior. In what way are simple mobs inferior to mobf?
