Minetest Forums

Oh no! It's devouring the sun!!! xD

Not impossible. Just very very very difficult.
This is how far I got before I lost motivation for daily attempts and got distracted by other stuff:

Occasionally I like to mess around with custom formspec styling: Screenshot from 2024-04-10 14-22-56.png In its positively-phrased form I ..., honestly can't think of a single time I have encountered it in a positive form out in the wild. I have always seen it in the kinda snobby "You can't be ...

Screenshot from 2024-04-10 10-56-23.png My two cents: When checking new posts in the screenshot thread I prefer when they actually contain screenshots (even if they are sometimes a bit weird), rather then just people having "internet arguments"™. I mean, if you think this thread is lackin...

PS: Also nothing stopping you from combining 1 and 2. I just don't have any example with real textures at hand so have this: minetest.register_node("cicrev:variant_textures", { description = "test", tiles = { {name = "cicrev_var_A.png", align_style = "world", ...

I think this probably could be done with adding nearly identical blocks to world generation You think correctly. Minetest doesn't have a direct way to randomize textures. However! there are indirect workarounds for adding more texture variation. 1) Use a different texture on each side of the node. ...

There are at least two mods which imitate Tinkers' Construct. https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=19916 and https://content.minetest.net/packages/mt-mods/axistools/ and maybe more buried in the depths of the forum. I don't think either uses the custom metadata textures since both were written...

Probably open a thread in the Texture Packs section of the forum for all your stuff. Name it something like "ilikelinux's free asset collection" or something in that vein so it's immediately clear what the thread is about. Also when you post your textures make sure to include an explicit s...

That seems ... overcomplicated? I don't think anyone else made forum posts just to get permission to have their mod added too the CDB. So it shouldn't be required of you either. Maybe some miscommunication? Anyway, the mods looks fine as far as I can tell. Nothing that would prevent it from being p...

Well, for one there is this thread: Post your mod texture requests here Theoretically exactly what you are looking for, but it isn't very active. You can offer your skills to various game projects. They often need more textures. Specifically what comes to mind is that the Exile game is looking for a...

Mostly offtopic: but, every time I see this screenshot used to show off MTG I am slightly annoyed, because it contains modded content and thus isn't really representative.

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/5.8.0/doc/lua_api.md?plain=1#L5465 * `minetest.unregister_biome(name)` * Unregisters the biome from the engine, and deletes the entry with key `name` from `minetest.registered_biomes`. * Warning: This alters the biome to biome ID correspondences, so any dec...

Just a singular layer? I think the easiest way might be to register it as an ore with ore_type = "sheet" . Relevant API section: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/5.8.0/doc/lua_api.md?plain=1#L9535 Don't give it any noise params, so the sheet is flat and use column_height_max = 1

Attack damage is set separately from node digging capabilities. See this excerpt from the Lua API: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/5.8.0/doc/lua_api.md?plain=1#L8682 tool_capabilities = { full_punch_interval = 1.0, max_drop_level = 0, groupcaps = { -- For example: choppy = {times = {2.50, ...

This finally gave me a kick to finish a pull request that I have been working on. It fixes a lot (but not all) of the errors that completely spammed the console. It shouldn't have any effect on the gameplay. Please check it out. major update with many improvements One thing I have been thinking abou...

Update:
- full support of the MCL stonecutter recipes
- api change: recipes now can have multiple conditions, if any one is fulfilled the recipe is available

Dunno if it's THE reason. but for mapgen purposes it can be useful if you are placing structures which intersect the chunk boundary. It gives you 16 more nodes where stuff can be placed without being cut of. Two specific examples: 1) when placing schematics on voxelmanip 2) when doing something like...

Re: XP orb, they have been a different color each time I joined the server. This typically happens when Minetest can't find the texture and so just generates a randomly colored square instead. I hope to catch the attention of a MCL dev here. I want to add compatibility to my fast_craft mod, so that ...

If the file is larger then 1 MB the forum will reject it. Unfortunately the error message is not at all clear about that.

Next time please include screenshots in the screenshot thread.

Update: - mostly code refactoring to make maintenance easier - MCL inventory now shows all 4 * 9 slots, instead of only 4 * 8 - native "Survivetest" support (formspec was adjusted to look closer to other sfinv tabs) - theoretical "Parity of the Minor Bearing" game support, it wor...

Looks like the Fast Craft button is now hidden behind the Help button. Very simple to fix.
Give me a day to iron out some other changes I have made to the mod and I will upload new version.

Short answer: No. The only textures you can rely on are the builtin widget textures and whatever you include in your own mod. Longer answer: Like Nathan said, you can manually crawl through the file system and look for *.png files. The engine itself is very bad about giving you info about media. And...

With the disclaimer that I don't know for certain. I think it refers to natural and artificial light respectively. They are tracked as separate values. In usual circumstances natural light value depends on on distance to closes position with unobstructed sky access and rendering brightness depends o...
