Re: [Seeking] RPG32

It is not quite the style I'm looking for, but it is very good. It's like Artelhum but without being overly in your face. I know a few people who might be interested in this mod so I'll certainly pass it along.

Thanks for the response.

[Seeking] RPG32

Hi All, I've been going through texture packs like no ones business, but very few are satisfying. Most are too sharp, too dark or lack detail. I'm looking for something that's bright / jrpg-esque without being overly cartoon-y. If there is already a pack available please point me in the right direct...

Re: Is it possible for Minetest server to work as Tor hidden service?

This is going to be a bit of a necro post. I've been looking around hosting Minetest on hidden services for some time and this comes up pretty prominently in the search engine, so adding my recent discoveries for anyone that might be interested. sfan5 is correct that Tor won't support it, neither wi...

Re: I need help with the HUD API. Help a fellow noob.

Have you... included the correct dependencies?

That was my experience with Thirsty and Ethereal and getting the table is nil. If you're calling on stuff that is not in your mod, you need to have it as an optional dependency.

Re: What kind of grass height on litter/dirt sides do you prefer?

The reason I prefer high is because of years of playing jRPGs. It just looks neater and it's easier to tile. Grass itself should be a different entity on top, particularly tall grass.

Re: Honest feedback from a newcomer

Re: [Mod] Temperature Survive 2.01 [tempsurvive]

Why isn't temperature using hudbars? Edit... oh I wonder if this has been abandoned. Further edits just in case it hasn't. Couple of points from my experience. 1. Temperature should try to equalize constantly, but doesn't seem to be doing that or at least the base rate is too low. 2. It doesn't seem...

Much appreciated on both parts, it was the first I was after. Lemme go check if that works.

Thirsty and Ethereal are the mods in question. I tried to avoid giving that detail as I would have investigated on my own.

Is there a Github or similar for this? Would be nice to see the updates as they are being made.

Also off topic and re signature, yellow text is really hard to read.

Back on topic, do you plan support other mods as well?

The Content DB is not very helpful, in that: It doesn't say what mods the texture pack supports (if any) They don't list the number of unique textures within the pack Not all of them have a link to a forum thread where to find more information.

It's not clear from the lua modding book.

Does .register_craftitem mean that I can find the item in .registered_items ? Or do I need to use other syntax?
