Re: MTS Editor

...this was intended for something like CTF, where you place schematics of maps. Ah, I see, that makes perfect sense. I was thinking about structures that you place multiple times on the map at different positions. Since baked light is optional, this is great! I've now added proper documentation of...

Re: MTS Editor

It shouldn't be too difficult to use modlib to render these in plain software Yes, but one of the main goal is to be dependency-free (so it can only use the provided Lua API, nothing else). On a different note, I've seen your own schem format in modlib, but wasn't able to find its specification. I ...

Re: How to convert .schematic to .we or .mts?

See mtsedit (supports .we, old .schematic and new .schem formats and many others, like MagickaVoxel's .vox or Qubicle's .qb), this is a command line tool, which works outside of Minetest. Or try Handle Schematics mod (does not support the new .schem format yet, just the old bedrock one, but it is ea...

Re: Unterschied .we und .mts

Welche Unterschiede gibt es zwischen .we und .mts? .mts ist ein komprimiertes Binärformat, während .we eine Lua table in einer Textdatei ist, daher ist .mts viel kleiner und schneller zu laden. Bei Bedarf ist es mit mtsedit möglich, .we einfach in .mts zu konvertieren. Außerdem kann WorldEdit beide...

Re: The best name instead of Minetest is...

You people are still at it? Seems like it. Just don't change the name I second this. Is Minetest a terrible name? Yeah. But it is a very well-known name by now; probably one of the most recognized FOSS game brands, comparable to Wesnoth, STK and Xonotic. The Minetest name is, without any doubt, the...

Re: MTS Editor

@bzt, Why not use the minetest.encode_png function to grab the front, right, and top tiles, apply the correct skew to the images, merge them as a single image, and encode as a png? Maybe I wasn't clear when I said "pre-rendered PNG". The emphasis is on "pre-rendered", and not on...

Re: MTS Editor

So it's working now. Well done, glad to hear! I won't remove the extra check though, it won't hurt having that. But the documentation is somewhat confusing as to how to import the textures so I can't figure it out. Probably that's because you can't import textures :-) In short, MTSEdit works with p...
