Minetest Forums

There's a copy of this game at https://github.com/mt-historical/mt_nostalgia (direct download) now.

Hi, sorry about the late reply. Yeah, a closure here is a good idea. It moves the point where “dependencies” of a form are defined to the same point where they are modified. Slightly less spaghetti. :) I've implemented form:update() and form:update_where() . Note that these methods won't work proper...

You probably mean a user could implement my_form:_is_active(machine_pos), and later you want to implement Form:_is_active() with a different meaning, or similar? That sounds reasonable. Yes. My next idea is that you can describe with a list of arbitrary strings on which external states a form depen...

Having the layout in a closure is not too bad. It just increases the indenting of everything by one or two tab widthes. I used closures for the layout function so you can initialise ctx values and so that flow can reshow the form when necessary. I intended for flow.make_gui to usually be called dur...

I just suggest that you rework the initial section of the introduction. There are features about layouting and showing to players . You should point out the layouting features much better. :) I've added "layouting" and "other features" headings to the features list. I feel more ...

Dang, I got here too late! No one is seeding anymore. Would someone be incredibly kind and give me a link, or a seed? Thank you so much!

I still have a copy of this map, you should be able to download it from https://us.xeroxirc.net/Earth_by_Lenteb ... t-v0.1.zip.

Hi,

vector.zero() (introduced in MT 5.5) is used in rp_village/generate.lua but the ContentDB entry says the game supports MT 5.4.0+.

Can we please get an example for server side using command to send message to client saying a number and and then client side using a command to send a letter to the server? EDIT: I found out that you need to use the sscsm.register function on the server side to be able to have commands for the cli...

This is ridiculous and I love it. I was surprised how well it plays.

Technically, it's important that Minetest's UI is flexible enough to make this possible and it's good that the amount of boilerplate code is fairly similar to what you would get with any 2D engine.

Thanks!

great job with this! any chance you could put the whole game into an arcade node that the formspec opens when you rightclick it? So... it gets added as a modpack rather than a whole game. IK that the point of this is to make a whole game but it would be nice to have this on my minigames server... a...

GUI-wise, the game isn't fully consistent. Some GUI elements use the Minetest default style or default font, like the config buttons in the main menu or the score display. If you want to go retro-style, it's better to go all-in. I agree, although I'm not sure if I'll get around to implementing this...

It's all just a formspec right? It uses formspecs for the menu buttons but HUDs for the game itself. Does it support multiplayer and how bad would the effect of lag be? Could it be integrated as a minigame in some larger server? It will work on multiplayer servers but players can't play together. T...

PRANG! https://content.minetest.net/packages/luk3yx/prang/shields/downloads/ An unofficial port of PRANG! , a 2D arcade-style game, to Minetest. https://content.minetest.net/uploads/15b90a793d.png There are instructions on how to play inside the game. In short, you have to collect food/potions and ...

I found an issue in hudbars (version 2.1.0 but I don't see any changes which could have fixed it). Clients get flooded with HUD update packets from the (un)hide_hudbar calls at https://repo.or.cz/minetest_hudbars.git/blob/HEAD:/init.lua#l505. The issue seems to go away if I add checks to ensure the ...

FS51 A compatibility layer that makes formspec_version 3 (and later) formspecs render more correctly in Minetest 5.1.0 and earlier. This will work with most mods without any additional configuration. If you want to disable automatic formspec translation, add fs51.disable_monkey_patching = true to m...

What I am asking is still all about using the Minetest engine so I am not really thinking about a game that is completely independent.

That's what I meant by "independent game", I should have been more clear.

Are you talking about https://dev.minetest.net/Minetest_Game_development? I think this only applies for minetest_game (https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game), not independent games.

Hey luk3yx, Do you have a small example mod(s) which demonstrates server/client communication using SSCSM? or know of a mod that makes use of sscsm? I tend to learn better if I can see something working and slowly pull it apart. Thanks There are the weather_lite and advmarkers mods. Edit: Not sure ...

The database backend comparison table (https://wiki.minetest.net/Database_backends#Comparison_table) should be updated, LevelDB authentication and player databases were added in #9476 and #9982 respectively.

Edit: Fixed, thanks.

Surprised nobody wrote something like this sooner.
Cool idea either way and I hope it helps people create some useful server + client-CSM combinations.

I did.

The core/main server is now open-source and available on Mesehub, GitHub, and GitLab.

This issue should be sorted, and I have disabled .py temporarily.

Well, you'll have a hard time keeping up with all the formspec changes. A few people are still pumping out formspec PRs (I have 4 PRs currently open, 2 merged, and I have plans for a few more) besides all the things other people are doing. And actually, colors can also be set on buttons using style...

ups, decimal point not comma , yeah I always blunder into that ... Number inputs now treat commas as decimal points (however they still use . to display them). maybe displaying a grid might be usefull? Added a grid option (currently grid lines are 2px wide, however). hmm colorchooser somewhere? The...
