This seems to be mainly fueled by your anger over the collision PRs. If it makes you feel any better: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10136#issuecomment-714572073 You must be reading stuff into this, that's just the way I see things and I've got a bad habit of speaking my mind now and t...

I stumbled upon raylib recently, and was immediately blown away by the simplicity of this thing. It's flat C free of the oop clutter that was all the rage at the time of irrlicht. Haven't got a chance to try it out yet, so I'm not sure how well it fares against irrlicht in terms of capabilities, but...

Making a fork of this project will never get things done, It only pointlessly tries to divide the community further What's wrong with dividing the community anyway? Not that it's particularly uniform thing, people come and go and there are different crowds that want different things, sometimes mutu...

Yes, it's not just time, not just yours at least. First of all, you need pretty qualified developers: they need to know C++, Irrlicht, Lua. Everyone seems to think about management first, I don't believe that's the way to start. What a fork would need in the beginning is quality development time of...

So, in these days I've been talking with old community members and they helped me realising how a fork is suicidal.

Do you mean anything other than the obvious - social suicide resulting from tremendous time investment required?

Imo the most important thing small projects like this require is single leadership, which isn't happening as the previous speaker obviously isn't active anymore. Even a single developer can do better than ten random people with conflicting ideas. Things might get better if he managed to find a compe...

In my entity definitions no immortal group is defined. So I guess it is mobkit thing Yup, all entities get the immortal group in order to bypass the default damage handling which is just unacceptable. But in addition to that one any other group can be set as well via armor_groups={..., including fl...

I do not want to push you, but you maybe have a hint or two how I could this ? Yeah in the summertime it's been difficult for me to find the time to sit at the keyboard. Also I made the mistake of trying to contribute to the engine development, and in the process I learned that MT isn't getting any...

It's essential to know what MTE should and should not be, in a detailed way. MTE is supposed to be a generic voxel game engine but is still full of MinetestGame specific stuff. The way I see it, MT is never going to be a generic engine, the staff isn't ready to confront the part of the community th...

Core is an engine I am writing using the LOVR engine. It is written in pure LuaJIT. This is why Crafter is frozen right now, it will be ported to Core.

Have you considered forking MT?

one problem is still here, I'm able to place blocks in my same area, like for example I can place blocks within myself For the record, this problem isn't related to collision detection. When placed, blocks are just popped into existence in already occupied space. Probably a problem with the code th...

make them move on walls or trees and so on. Maybe you got an idea how this could be done or even be added to mobkit ? Yup, it's on the todo list. MT movement is designed to work in the horizontal plane, so the trick is when on vertical walls pitch and roll combined must take the role of yaw, quite ...

This sounds like it might be related to the various collision fixes that were merged in 5.2. 5.3 actually. In terms of collision detection 5.2 is identical to 0.4* If there are any major problems with collision detection in 5.3 they may be related to --ffast-math compiler flag, be sure to disable it.

Do you remember where you got that climate_api from? I checked their github, mobkit doesn't seem to be included there.

Thanks, updated the master, should be fixed now.
Man do I hate those nil checks.

By the way, 5.3.0 is out, so changes to mobkit are coming.
To get the most of the new fixes and features, I think I'll have to drop compatibility of the new version with MT versions older than 5.3

The Minetest development procedure has a huge problem: There are too many open PRs (pull requests). IMO the root problem is organizational structure, or lack thereof. Everybody's equal, and that's cute and all, but that also means many conflicting opinions and visions (or visionlessnesses) and rand...

One problem: when I enable "mobkit", I save and return to the "mod" menu I find it disabled. So all mods that depend on mobkit don't work....

PS: Minetest 5.2, Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamom , last mobkit

Difficult to say, never experienced anything like that, I'm on windows myself.

I think that does not matter cos the mobkit function has a interval value for checking a spawn node.

Yup, there is a timer in the function, it doesn't do anything on most steps so it's really cheap unless something weird is done with it.

None as far as I can tell, both point to the same repo.

You could iterate over connected players and return true on the first found within 3 block radius.

Testing it I found a problem that affects your sailing kit too, when it sinks at flowing water. This is intended, allowing floating in flowing liquids causes other problems. Luckily you can customize physics, just copy mobkit.physics into your mod, rename it e.g. yourmod.funname , and make the modi...

Is there any way to restrict spawns to certain slices like min_height and max_height? I poked around the API doc but couldn't find anything offhand. There are multiple ways to do spawns, so specific implementation is best left to mods, however there's an example spawn function included - mobkit.get...

added a mobkit section to https://wiki.minetest.net/Mods:Mobs

Cool stuff, thanks!

Just a little update, my PR got merged into 5.3 dev, if it doesn't get reverted and makes it into the next stable then we get back to work on this one.
