Minetest Forums

I missed the point of this thread. I understand that you don't like the sneak glitch, but why is it wrong to have it only as an option? If you don't like it, just don't use it.

I made a mod for that purpose: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24214 ( exaple usage ) It places a map when the world is created and it can place the map there any time after, restart it, etc.. However, it is effective only for smaller maps and it starts to be slow for maps which a...

No, I'm not. Let me google it. Ok. So we have a code simplicity and a code speed issue conflicting with each other. I choose first because the programmer's time, creativity and efforts are far more valuable than a new processor. Processor costs like 100$ and programmer's work published for free for...

I'm tired of these "speed" rants. You want speed -> write with Assembly language. You want more speed -> write bytecode. You want even more speed -> engineer an ASIC. You didn't grab a scripted language to gain speed. You need it to shorten the time you need to develop a program because y...

To be honest, how many times did you see the "rewrite all of X to language Y" requests from community to succeed?

Python is a language which doesn't even have "true" and "false" constants.

Indeed. However, it has "True" and "False" constants ;)

MINECR~1 has no issues with Irrlicht unlike Minetest.

When it fails to work -- then and only then, is it obsolete. There are plenty of programs that people use every day that haven't been changed in years, because they don't need to be. Keyboard handling is broken for instance. Each time I want to write the number 4 (and sometimes 7), I have to write ...

I was just wondering if it is even possible to remove falldamage from a game entirely. You have just told me that Minetest developers weren't thinking about such option. At least, there is a simple workaround. This mod will be useful in creating jump'n'run games because they usually don't use anythi...

For many years, the most of mods were made exclusively for MTG. And I guess, it will last for a while because there is no game for which there are as many mods as for MTG. First of all, I think, no game should contain the mod "default". It should be called "mtg_core" for example....

Thank you! There is a link to a PR which has to solve this issue and is still open. I will put the link here also for reference: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/9177

It looks like if I want to do anything with a player, I need an ObjectRef to the player, which is available only when the player is online. Before I create an issue, I want to make sure that there is really no way to change metadata of an offline player. Similarily, there seems to be no way to chang...

I have already implemented the bus. The display doesn't display anything yet, I will do it after I have more time. Thanks for the model again!
Also, I will have to tweak moreblocks a little so slope roads don't act as an obstacle.

The limit of reports per day was meant so that each post can be reported only once so if each active users reports 3 posts, they could still report all posts posted by the spam bot together. Another thing which may work is this: Make a weak spam filter which filters the posts by the most apparent fe...

I have an idea but it might be hard to implement. If a new user comes, all his posts would be hidden before a moderator approves his account. If the account is approved, he could post stuff as normal. If it shows up that the process of approval is too slow because of lack of moderator time, I have a...

I discovered a few things. The faces which are shown only from one side are shown from both sides if I assign the model to an entity. No need to care about that. The faces in wheels which aren't shown aren't present in the .b3d file either. Maybe something went wrong in export. It looks like the ani...

Mostly they are just flat tops. Sometimes there's stuff sticking through, like you see in the one shot. I've replaced the lava source with sichamine lamp. Won't be quite as easy to see, except at night. But so far we have about 9 man-hours on different games without another lavafall. This last one ...

I think I'm standing right on the point near the center of your screenshot, in one shot, looking straight at that island in your lower right corner. [EDIT] Yeah, we are at the same location. That vein of sichamine in both our screenshots is a dead giveaway. [/EDIT] Looking at the three sets of scre...

Can you please provide me the .blend file? I will try what I can and I will tell you what I did.

I will look at it. Note that some issues may vanish and other may appear when I assign the model to an entity. If you give me the model you made so far, I can test it myself and tell you how to fix it.

Screenshot upload not working. My end, probably. seed = 7452374824015819250 position = -1030, 5.5, -31 [EDIT] Using fresh clone of [underch], and fresh download of 5.3.0. Minetest game, plus [underch] ONLY. [/EDIT] Try to compress the screenshot, either convert it to jpg or scale it down. It looks ...

Do you use the mod pyramids by chance?

I think, that's what nearly all of us secretly wish. You know, there are many ideas but only a few people having both skills and time. I see that there is a potential in your mods. It would be nice if there were more such mods, at least the graphics if nothing else. I wouldn't call it a revolution b...

You made a great job so far! I'm looking forward for it being done.

You can also take a bus model from my mod if you want: https://github.com/Andrey2470T/adv_vehicles You model looks great! However, it looks like your model doesn't have any bar to display number and it doesn't have any door animation. I can use it as long as I don't have any better model. Thanks an...

I have no idea how to do the bar with letters. I can make the bar, but you would have to do whatever programming to make the letters happen I will do all that programming of course. Also, with those dimensions it will be much more like a car or van than a bus. It will look much more like a bus if i...
