MineClonia seems to have solved the problem with the paths: It uses stairs where needed. If that improved path building algorithm could be included into the general settlements mod here (especially FaceDeers' fork), that'd be great!

beautiful biomes and unique mobs I had a few problems with that. For reasons unknown I didn't get plants (trees, vegetation). Some mobs had problems with keeping going on for too long after having started moving. A squid flew past me and moved on land until it crashed into a mountain. Same happened...

They do all in order to sell their goods :-) (Plus of course they enjoy having a chat with players very much. Some very happy NPC may even get a quest...)

Good :-) Save the papyrus root :-) It's really a great texture.

Ah. While I'm relatively indiffrent regarding the name (the old one was probably more helpful for people searching this game) there seems to be the error: Discord. Not forum.

Good that this mod/game is maintained and further developped. For me, the first screenshot is a bit confusing. What I associate with Voxelgarden and UnterNull is the famous payprus root. That can't be missing from such a thread. Would have to search my old screenshots to find my tiny house built out...

I'm really enjoying this mod in conjunction with mobs_npc. The interface for adding dialogue, changing skins and other features makes configuration in game a snap. Thank you! I hope that we'll eventually get slightly more intelligent NPC as well. But that may be a huge endeavour and quite compley. ...

The mod has now been split up into the runtime (yl_speak_up) and the editor (npc_talk_edit). Almost always you'll want both. The only situation where you might *not* want npc_talk_edit might be if you're creating an adventure and release that. Until your players have solved the puzzle, they will hav...

This is a (failed) attempt to get mobs_npc as sailors (or pirates). Suitable clothing wasn't provided. Perhaps that's the reason why they didn't like it on the ship. They tried everything to get off, looking for the shore or other ships, sometimes even jumping into the water: https://forum.minetest....

I'm curious if this mod is still being maintained. Good village generator mods are hard to come by, especially one with roads or support for large structures: Been waiting to see that improve and noticed this one, but like a lot such mods they appear to be discontinued after a while. I've downloade...

You can show a model in a formspec this way, with W(idth) and H(ight) set according to your needs: model[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<name>;<mesh>;<textures>;<rotation X,Y>;<continuous>;<mouse control>;<frame loop range>;<animation speed>]

A series of simple tutorials should be created to help ignorant people like me... There's at least one helpful video on interlocking online. It helped me a lot. But for the details I found the advtrains tutorial on the Tunnelers' Abyss server most helpful. The server has a vast network of railway l...

I have no idea which mob that might be. From the description it looks very much like an Oerkki. It might help if you tell us where you encountered that mob. If it was a particular server, perhaps there are others who played on that server and remember. Or there might even be a server thread with a c...

I do have experience with Ink and some of its ports, but I've never done Minetest modding, just fiddled around with a few different games. So I didn't know about yl_speak_up or npc_talk until just now. Minetest modding is pretty easy. As to yl_speak_up and npc_talk: I've been working on them for qu...

I just found there's also a Lua implementation of Ink, so it could be integrated in Minetest as a mod rather than a C++ engine feature. Thank you! That's a very useful hint. I've taken that implementation and made it work in Minetest. That mostly required getting rid of the require(..) and converti...

So I have to install this first and then that? And why is it better to split this instead of making it into an overall mod right away? Yes, both mods are needed. yl_speak_up is...a mixture between a library and the runtime/interpreter. It has everything needed for the NPC - but no NPC on its own. T...

Glad to hear! The other mapgen objects could really be useful in some cases. If that spreads to more mapgens, mods based on mapgen could use this information.

Certainly much more convenient then trying to find something I like from a huge list of random skins of varying quality. That's exactly how I feel about this mod as well. It's easy to get a huge variety of skins that I'd find acceptable and even pleasant for my character. That's way better than wit...

A very interesting mod. I am curious though if and how this mod approaches the problem of adding mobs to games with prebuilt maps? This mod in this thread doesn't even add any NPC at all. For NPC, you need to install the npc_talk mod. And even that doesn't add any spawning of its own as I can't kno...

My travelnet mod can also help a lot with travelling around. It comes with elevators that can be placed at diffrent heights and allow you to get up and down without having to wait for minutes till you have fallen down or climbed back up. On public servers, there are usually public mines digged by fe...

That's easy. You put a sign next to it, with the name of the mod on it. And a poster with the possibilities and a few small tasks that you can try out. In a small area:open with a box with spawn eggs and the visitor can get started himself. Might work with quite some effort put in for some mods. It...

For me, NPCs are a crucial and invigorating element to keep Minetest interesting for new players in the years to come. I consider them as very important as well. That's why I've wanted to write this mod for quite some time. NPC standing around can give life to a world, can explain what a building i...

Could you make an tutorial of how to add this mod functionalities to an NPC from an NPC mod? In general that's what the npc_talk mod is for. It comes with an NPC that doesn't need any other mods, an NPC based on mobs_redo, an NPC based on mobs_npc (those are based on mobs_redo), a sign you can talk...

The canoe looks very nice! It's jsut a bit long. I wonder if it works on MT's ousually not very large lakes and oceans.
