It was also possible in the past to grant a player the creative priv while in survival mode. That way, it was possible to draw unlimited amount of ressources from unified_inventory but otherwise play survival. Sadly that creative priv got used for other factors and it now has undesired side effects ...

It edits the signature after a few days to add links Argh. I wasn't aware that they got that criminal. As to the topic as such: The best way to learn about existing mods and how they can be made to work well together (and to see which mod fits to which other one) is IMHO just joining a server. Serv...

In theory, you might start with a singlenode map and place everything there by using place_schematic. That might be pretty slow and impractical for large maps. There's also sometimes trouble with players falling down through the non-existing floor when using singlenode and placing things manually. S...

Nice! My handle_schematics mod can do that as well to some degree but still has a bug in some rotated upside-down stairs (well, mostly mirroring is giving it problems...impossible to mirror some shapes). Very good to be able to do the rotation in WE now.

Which version are you using? On which platform? The Java version doesn't seem that bad. Sadly it will get unusable in the future due to requiring a Microsoft account. It's still supposed to be playable locally (singleplayer) even after that. Servers use more or less open source software to run thei...

Try out the creatures mod.

However, to the general part. As a player who still prefers singleplayer games or multiplayer with just some real-life friends on a private server (yes, I guess I am quite an oldish person) I experience this kind of problems quite often... You really ought to consider looking for a nice server that...

People in MineTest are very different, and so they all use different mods! Freedom can sometimes be stressful :-) Don't worry too much about it. It's just that way. Lets also say that I want to play MineTest with a group of people... the outcome is going to be horrible! Everyone is used to playing ...

Thankfully most servers and users try to explain to new players that those ad-infested android implementations aren't the real thing. Perhaps the way they try to communicate that isn't always optimal. And users may feel bad if they discover that they paid for something that is available for free. PS...

The idea is that it adds a node which can be replaced, thus you can use it as a placeholder when building structures. My handle_schematics mod does that to some degree. Give yourself two handle_schematics:build, place them on the two edges of a structure you want to save, then place a third handle_...

It's sole purpose is to allow mods that rely on the helper functions to continue working in other games. That's nice. I think we ought to have more libraries that are shipped with the game. Can you add a mod to your game that registers the nodes from default? So that players can choose weather they...

Thanks for adding new moderators! Fighting spam is sadly necessary. I only have time to read the forum each couple of weeks. Any spam found in the past was properly disposed of when talking directly to a moderator on irc.

Nice. But doesn't seem to use hardware coloring?

I don't see why it shouldn't work with 5.3. I'm usually working with latest git and currently use 5.4 where it works fine. I don't remember any particular problems regarding 5.3.

they spawn one by one, but they try to build herds by choosing a boss animal they try to keep in a herd if seperated Great! Hope they show up soon on Tunneler's Abyss where I capture most of my animals. they are afraid of snakes, crocodiles and the player (last will change soon, especially for male...

Hume2's idea doesn't sound too bad, but beeing limited to three reports per day might be too low. Hiding a user's posts if there are at least three *reports* regarding that user might work if it can be implemented. Less users than now would have to report the spam. Only users with a halfway descent ...

Yes :-( And that's a pity. You do so many intresting things...but...anarchy survival...nah :-( Can't stand that personally. But at least that way players who prefer PvP have a place to go to...

Great to hear that the mobs will learn how to lie down and rest. Thank you! Chickens a bit more work as the armature animation is in-complete from memory. Probably matters less because they're smaller animals. The larger they become the more they have to do in order to appear realistic. Chicken may ...

pevernow wrote: What about mg_villages?

Probably not so highly needed as mg_villages doesn't come with many textures. I'm not at all good at texture art and try to get away with re-using existing textures if possible :-) However, having a complete set of remote media data certainly couldn't hurt.

DEATH to all moskitos! They're my sworn enemies. You don't suspect anything...and then the sound comes up at night.

Soweit ich weiß gibt es dafür kein Rollback. Am besten ist wohl ein Backup. Falls du ein umfangreiches Logfile hast, in dem steht, welcher Block wo und wann gesetzt oder entfernt wurde, könnte man darüber evtl auch noch etwas retten.

Third, lag. I tested 1 chicken against a petz chicken and found that (according to the built-in profiler) my chicken causes 124% less lag on average against a petz chicken. Certainly important for industrial-scale livestock farming. At least in an MT world they don't mind :-) And of course anything...

Likewise for this problem again, real life provides the answer. If you build a vege patch off in a forest and come back a few days later what will you find? Wildlife broke\jumped the fence and ate the food. So, add in a random chance of fence breaking or burrowing mobs (australia as wombats that di...

Or - less serious - run a server and let players search, promising them a reward ,-) More seriously: If you have a small map and a limited amount of places where you might have placed the lost chest, tools like the metal detector might probably be easiest, while socerykids' solution is great when yo...

the last months we got much forum spam and it seems to increase fast. It sometimes help to manually msg a moderator on irc and send a link. I suggest the admin to asking simple questions about unicycles before creating accounts, and i cant remmeber if there came more spam after it. Didn't that exis...
