Are you sure it is your hard drive?
I am pretty sure he is talking about the fan, not the hard disc.

The type (03) indicates a "reliable" packet. Reliable packets are just wrappers around other packets, so you have to also unpack the payload. So the 01 indicates the packet type of the wrapped packet, here, "original", which means no splitting, error checking, etc. Edit: For your...

Is v3f1000 3 32-bit integers, that when divided by 1000, yield a floating point value, such as a player position? yes. Is their endianness machine-specific? no. data is serialized in big-endian format. Where can I find annotated samples of the serialization formats for inventories, as well as node/...

To make liquids work in stable you have to remove any/all dependencies from the mod defining them - dont ask me why, i just know it works lol The bug is an 8-bit overflow error. As long as your liquids get ID's assigned which are smaller than 256, everything works. Things break if you get liquids w...

That's the same error but this also happens without pipeworks.
The point is: that bug is fixed in current upstream git. So do you still have this problem when using a fresh version from git?

The GLSL shaders mod on Minecraft are very slow for me, but the GLSL shaders on Minetest are much faster.
That's because the shaders in minetest barely do anything, compared to the shader mods for minecraft.

It would be great if you allowed it to download mods from " Minetest Mods " mod listings. You just need a http:// compatible socket library, and a parser that you can make If you want a new API for it, just ask me. That's even further down the line. But I am sure eventually there will be ...

What would be better is to make a "dynamic mod loader". I.e. you can activate/deactivate mods at your leisure (perhaps from some UI). But realized too late this wasn't possible. BTW welcome back. I have started work on that actually. Look for progress here: https://github.com/doserj/minet...

Views: 1009

Here is my understanding. Regarding map size: The data for a 16x16x16 block is stored zlib-compressed. So if every node in the block is the same, this should be substantially compressed. Regarding rendering complexity: this is basically proportional to the size of the mesh, which is (roughly) propor...
