Re: string to code
The function you are after that turns a string into Lua code is loadstring . But I really think that is a bad idea for security, because people could literally do anything with it, like give themselves privileges, delete areas, teleport themselves around... I would recommend you instead limit the in...

Re: Adding a subheading field to default books?
It looks like you have a separate mod called bummedbooks that copies the book code from default with your modifications. Without having a copy of that mod, it's pretty hard to tell what went wrong because "attempt to concatenate nil" is a very common error resulting from a variable not bei...

Re: Skills Mod ? Help
I can think of some code references for this: Player Effect Potions , since it might have implemented a number of the effects you are after. Shadow Forest , since in that game you collect items and use them to level up, which permanently changes your stats. XP Redo , since it tracks block digging, b...

Re: How to get the "sneak key was pressed" event?
The effect is even worse if you're connecting to a server a long way away. You have to wait for at least a whole round trip plus Lua processing delay before keypresses will register. This means they become more like key holds. To launch a train in Advtrains from a client in Australia to a German ser...

Re: dxt73 Hades Revisted server
Would adding mob_animal to hades work? On one hand it can add a lot to the game, but on the other hand i don't know how it would work with the bioms; there might not be any spawn of animals... There would need to be a small modification to mobs animal, but after that it should work. The mobs in Mob...

Re: Hello everyone
I believe JP had a WIP "Camera API" fork of the engine, but he's no longer involved with Minetest. I checked his GitHub fork but couldn't find a branch for it there. His demo video is here . Since that's no longer a possibility, I think the best you could do it attach the player to an enti...

Re: Creating flexible moving structures made of nodes
This idea, as you have noticed, needs a lot of questions answer. It occurred to me to suggest that entities might still work better than nodes, since entities can be solid. You can even have rotating entity selection boxes as of 5.7. But then: Unlike nodes, there is only one selection- and one colli...

Re: formspec model scaling
I'm afraid I think not. I only know about the listed options in lua_api.txt , which doesn't mention visual size or zoom or anything similar. You can, as Sokomine said, make the whole box that contains the model larger and smaller. But you can't scale the model itself in just one dimension. Have you ...

Re: how to change public port announced to the server list ?
I don't think this is possible without modifying the engine. The same port that is listened on will be used in the announcement to the server list: server.cpp:748 if (!isSingleplayer() && (!counter || counter >= 300.0) && g_settings->getBool("server_announce")) { ServerList...

Re: [Server] Tunnelers' Abyss
I was always under the impression that breaking changes in Minetest like this wouldn't occur within a major version (i.e. 5.x) as backwards compatibility is always guaranteed, even if features are deprecated. Has this guideline changed? In this case, newer client versions require data from the serv...

Re: [Help] Animated Textures
I wish MT would simply support APNG files for textures. Me too. APNG is not a very popular format. You need a GIMP plugin just to export it. Meanwhile, you can easily see a "filmstrip" of frames in an ordinary PNG file, and I don't think it is that difficult to set up animated-texture nod...
