Re: Learning resources for a new programmer

You already said you like reading others' code. That's the best idea. The trick is figuring out whose code to read. Many of the authors of the highly ranked mods write good code. There are exceptions both directions -- some very good mods with poor coding and some poorly ranked mods with good coding...

It would be cool if eventually there would be a mod that will make it so you need to have a variety of foods each day/week etc etc Vintage Story has a good model for that. https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php?title=Satiety Basically, you have hunger bars for fruit, grain, dairy, protein and veget...

Re: [Mod] Advanced Food Cooking [cooking]

No, leave things per your vision. Obviously when you add the spoilage rate, stacking toast and jam is going to be different that stacking cobblestone, so there's no point changing that then changing it back. All I was getting at is that we had tried to figure out some advantage to give to prepared f...

I saw you were storing data in the meta. I did not see that the graphic changes based on the meta data. Granted, at the moment, no big deal because the food never spoils. Just wondering if the expectation is that the player is going to be expected to keep track of the food he cooks and make sure he ...

Very nice. What's the plan with foodspoil? Apart from the obvious. I mean, does the 4 have any significance, like a type of spoilage, or a duration, or is it just an arbitrary number for the time being? Cool idea, though I have no idea how you will make it work with all the varied types of bags and ...

Re: Debug coordinates will no longer be visible for unprivileged players after 5.4.0

There’s a problem with "not granted by default" tho. Privileges that are granted by default are irrevokable. And this would defeat the whole point of this change. Maybe granting basic_privs by default again will alleviate the concerns. But then we have to figure out how to get rid of the ...

Right. I fully understand that. But why wouldn't a server command like /disable F5 serve that purpose just as well? Why should the default be, "NO! You are not permitted to submit bug reports!" You are telling me it's a trivial matter to grant the privilege. In what way would revoking the ...

Re: Debug coordinates will no longer be visible for unprivileged players after 5.4.0

It's just not as easy as adding a privilege, because if you are just wanting some small aspect of your mod tested, and forget to add that privilege, that's it. So it's not as easy as adding the privilege, because you also have to remember to add the privilege? I'm a bit confused by this stance. Jus...

Re: Debug coordinates will no longer be visible for unprivileged players after 5.4.0

It makes perfect sense to disable debug once the game is released. Does it make sense in a game in alpha, though? Even though it's quite common to include the [orienteering] mod in our playtesting, most of the time they never progress far enough to build the map. The testers know what kinds of thing...

Re: The future of Minetest

Huh. I thought Minecraft had a max of something like 30 million blocks per side, and only 256 (or maybe 255) high. Minetest world is only 65 km on a side. 40 miles. IRL, a three-day hike, maybe two if you are in good shape. That's why I've thought it makes more sense for a pre-industrial world, wher...

think I'll just bypass the whole thing and add coordinates and pitch/yaw to the HUD, similar to, say, mtimer or hudbars or orienteering or any of the other information mods. That's good thinking. If you need one with coordinates that works out of the box now, there's poshud . That's the one I was l...

OK. How do I do that for the end-user playtesters? Is there one line of code that would grant that privilege to all users on startup?

Not a huge fan, either. In my case, I'm helping kids learn to code, so when one of the testers comes across something odd, he notes the position and the pointed and whoever wrote that part of the code can investigate. The options seem to be to add that information back into the HUD, which seems to d...
