Re: How is this guy doing reflective water in Minetest?

Not too bad of work in progress. Would like to see it make it into the game one day when it's ready. It has its flaws so far, such as how it needs a rebase and also this rendering glitch: ssr-problem1.jpeg Please ignore the "dirty", in the version string, that's just me deleting doc/lua_ap...

Re: Minetest 5.8.0

Sounds good. Is it enough if the client runs on this version or does the server have to have it as well? It is important to remember the screenspace reflections version is still a work in progress. The client will always draw the reflections if you build that branch, there is no setting to turn it ...

Re: Mac OS update

Well that doesn't sound very good. Are you able to complete a bug report on GitHub with the information that the issue template asks for? That would get you the most expedient help, but we can try to help with the issue on the forums here if not. For instance, it would help to know: Your model of de...

Question: What do you think default is? Answer: default is a mod that is a part of Minetest Game (MTG). It provides the basic content of that game. Other games published to ContentDB aren't meant to include a mod with that name unless they are based on MTG and their default mod is completely compati...

Re: on_diemob

I think you are after on_deactivate, plus a check for removal == true so it doesn't run when the mob is just getting unloaded with a mapblock.

Edit: Disregard that, Andrey01 has given a correct answer.

Re: Minetest 5.8.0

thank you. but where can i find the right irrlichtmt version for this ?. There is a file in the source tree that tells you which version matches up - misc/irrlichtmt_tag.txt - in this case it says 1.9.0mt12. In 5.9.0, irrlichtMt will be bundled in with the Minetest source code, relieving the issue.

Texture packs can take a really long time to verify properly because there are so many individual textures. Plus package approvals aren't always waiting on the approval team but sometimes on the package author.

Hello dudes, I have a problem with this mod because the Icelamanders in the artic regions continue to turn my rails (advtrains) into ice blocks.

Re: How do I get the texture? (table, not the string)

This is not easy to do, at least generically. Minetest has four formats for images: PNG, JPEG, BMP and TGA. Images can be found inside of the engine data directory e.g. /usr/local/share/minetest/textures/base/pack, inside of mods that are part of the game, inside of mods that are loaded in the curre...

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: 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...
