I was speaking from the licensee perspective, not the licensor perspective. The waiver is irrelevant for the licensee.

And yes, you're right. IANAL.

No matter if WTFPL is banned from Content DB or not, let me be perfectly clear here: If you are using MIT or WTFPL'ed software, you should be perfectly safe, legally spoken. With either license, you are free to use, re-use, remix, modify, share, share the modifications, copy, sell, sublicense the so...

The developers are currently pushing very hard to ban WTFPL from the Content DB:

I also think the license choice of MT is acceptable. I am not here to dispute it.

However, keep in mind all those dirty bad Android forks full of bloatware and advertisements, most of which are clearly not caring about the license.

So basically this discussion just boils down to the old question: Copyleft: yes or no? My main argument AGAINST copyleft licenses is that they create the utterly pointless problem of “license incompabilities”. Most copyleft licenses are only compatible with a small set of licenses. That's an inheren...

What, the death screen is client-side? No, just no, this does not make any sense. It's way too easy to screw this one up then. It should be 100% server-side, just like every other formspec. I also have no idea how a game could customize the death screen like that. I agree with the feature request. C...

Thanks for the post, I hope it will help future readers. I mostly agree with the post, but some things I have to complain about. I believe some things are not as newbie-friendly as you think. My biggest problem is that you did poor in justifying stuff. You're just saying what to do. While I understa...

@totya: I did a brief look at the source code and it looks like the time_speed is not affecting growth speed directly . However, sunlight is still important. @DELTA_FORCE: The correct name of this game is “Minetest Game”, not “minetest_game”. But I agree, neither name is beautiful. ;-) Basically, I ...

It's their right to claim their interpretation of what "open source" means (and fair for the "standard" they set). I disagree with that interpretation and believe it isn't an honest interpretation, nor a fair interpretation. Dude! This is http://www.opensource.org, homepage of t...

Well, you can always kick and ban players that you know are cheating.

I'm seeing some of my texture (Some have been modified) But what I'm not seeing is my credit. It's a long time since I last touched the textures, so I can't remember that stuff, sorry. Please tell me exactly which files/textures you request to be credited, then I will fix this ASAP. @zm78: Thanks f...

I just copied lsqlite3.so to the working directory of Minetest, but that didn't help either: 2018-10-29 12:42:15: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from ~/.minetest/games/Inside The Box/mods/db/init.lua: 2018-10-29 12:42:15: ERROR[Main]: error loading module 'lsqlite3' from file '...

Do I need a special version of lsqlite3? Because that alone doesn't work: 2018-10-29 01:12:28: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from ~/.minetest/games/Inside The Box/mods/db/init.lua: 2018-10-29 01:12:28: ERROR[Main]: ~/.minetest/games/Inside The Box/mods/db/init.lua:60: module '...

This sure sounds amazing! I have no idea how it would work for reals, but I should write a review when I have tested it. From the first look, this looks like someone has done solid work, since the thread is actually readable and there is a solid API documentation on release day. This alone makes thi...

Aaaaand it crashed: 2018-10-28 14:45:36: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from ~/.minetest/games/Inside The Box/mods/db/init.lua: 2018-10-28 14:45:36: ERROR[Main]: ~/.minetest/games/Inside The Box/mods/db/init.lua:59: attempt to index local 'insecure_env' (a nil value) 2018-10-28...

Well … Let's say that mobs generally still suck and need a lot of work. I don't want to think about this at the moment. Maybe later. No idea when. I will only say one thing about polar bears: Well, it's not only about atmosphere but also difficulty. I agree that religiously cloning Minecraft is not ...

What about giving the “zoom” privilege for all? Surely there's no harm in that. :-) I want to self-categorize by players instead. Crowd source the categories people choose and use that. About categories: Meh. There aren't really that many boxes to need complex categories. Crowd-sourcing categories c...

My general notes and recommendations about MCL2 mods: ⋅ Remember that MCL2 is very different from MTG architecture-wise, so don't make to many assumptions ⋅ Remember the groups in MCL2 are different, too ⋅ You can try to be compatible with both MCL2 and MTG at the same ...

((…) I don't know whether Minetest 5 is supported by MC2 officially yet) Minetest 5.0.0 does not exist (yet), thus making it bleeding edge. Please say “5.0.0 -dev ” to refer to the unfinished version. My official MineClone 2 policy regarding bleeding edge is: I do not support it. I will only aim to...

Is there an option to disable some of the mods that are included in this(mineclone 2) subgame? No. Not without editing MineClone 2 itself, that is. For example, I want to disable water that flows from random holes in the mountains, because sometimes it creates massive floods. These are called “spri...

Version 0.42.1 released! Changelog: ⋅ Fix when opening the trading menu (via rightclick) of a villager of type “cleric” if playing in a world not generated by the v6 map generator Thanks to zm78 for reporting this critical bug! Note if you have clerics walking around from before this updat...
