Minetest Forums

You haven't found the github discussion on this yet, have you? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/596#issuecomment-15932423 I really doubt they'll ever upgrade, since they seem to have some rather strong opinions on the subject. However, Freeminer has been using C++11 for a while now: http://...

If multiple buckets are used as fuel will all the empty buckets be returned? This was brought up in the pull request discussion too: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/105 Basically, there's no correct behavior in that case since there's only one fuel slot and there's two different type...

I have a question about this mod. In the autoplace.lua file on lines 304 and 306, is it really supposed to be idef.tube.connect_side and idef.connect_sides instead of idef.tube.connect_sides? To make my machines in voltbuild look like they're connecting, I have to add connect_side=true under the tu...

i cant get rid of the admin shop i placed. I sort of accidentally happened across an admin shop vending machine on a server once and wound up placing an indestructible admin shop as well… I believe that it is possible to dig admin shops if one has money admin privileges; otherwise, worldedit always...

well it says mod: failed to launch and run...um, its hard to say...it says and this is all i can see, "C:\Users\(my name)\desktop\minetest-0.4.7\bin\..\games\minetest_game\mods\pipeworks\init.lua" minus the ("") You should probably have this mod installed in the top-level mods d...

One thing that I've been meaning to code into this mod but never got around to is a way to specify merchandise by just dragging a sample of what is to be sold into the formspec rather than having to deduce it's item name; this would be particularly useful when selling stuff from mods like mesecons w...

Bear in mind that you also have to be an official developer (or borrow your friend's developership) to test your code on devices. While the iOS simulators are pretty good, they don't come close to approximating the resource constraints or interface of an actual device…

Any way to change the number of seeds dropped by pumpkins from 1-2 to 1-3 or 1-4? Take a look inside pumkin.lua in the mod folder and scan through until you find the node definition for fully grown pumpkins (circa line 59, it should begin with 'minetest.register_node(":farming:pumpkin"')....

This has been brought up before, but without much success: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1743 Texture mirroring seems like a pretty plausible feature to me, though it would probably only work well for small mirrors and on more powerful machines. One would probably have to adjust the ca...

I just tried this with the following code snippet: minetest.dir_to_facedir(user:get_look_dir(), true) and still only got x and z coordinates. As far as I can tell from the pipeworks example you showed, I have the usage right. EDIT: Just tried it without the minetest. in front and it crashed so that...

I would classify bones, dry shrub, and perhaps mossy cobble as organic…

The command minetest.dir_to_facedir() needs to be updated. It only gives the x and z directions. It can't handle the y direction. I am using the latest PilzAdam, sfan5 and BlockMen builds on Windows XP and was trying to set up a mod that uses this function but couldn't get any y direction. I had to...

This mod adds two nodes designed to greatly simplify interface with digilines networks: a regular digiterm (pictured left) and the secure version (pictured right): http://hdastwb.heliohost.org/digiterms.png Both types of digiterms use the same interface, with two text fields (a big one for output an...

This server runs the git version; as it is no longer compatible with 0.4.7, you will need to be running a client from git in order to connect successfully. lobo, try an in-place install. If you do want to install the git version system-wide, run "sudo make install" after building Minetest ...

I'm running Ubuntu; minetest follows typical installation paths with the binary in /usr/bin and the content in /usr/share/minetest. The user content directory (where mods, extra games, textures, and worlds go) is ~/.minetest (that is, the hidden .minetest folder in your home folder) The minetest PPA...

Hey, may I suggest removing the specialties mod after all of the trouble that it's caused us?

auto-fill: you are almost exactly describing worldedit—take a closer look; it's not that hard to learn. It would be rather difficult to select by punching air, though; try going underwater and collecting a certain block of water with a bucket. main-menu mod/texture switching: mod switching is implem...

Not really; all Minetest mods are installed server-side, thus when connecting to servers it doesn't matter what mods you have installed locally (or even what games). However, you can probably find a server that has the mods that you want on it, and, if not, some server admins might be happy to insta...

it doesn't like us any more

I think I could go with both of those (if you can do the secure teleporter channels, that'd be great too). Be sure that you add tube autorouting rules to autoplace.lua also, for the locked chests, somewhere after line 178 is good (that's where unlocked chests are routed). As for the lava pipes, I'l...

I have used this mod a bit and there are a couple of things that I think would greatly add to it if they were implemented: Locked chest integration : This mod gives locked chests the same tube-accepting texture that regular chests have, but does not actually provide integration for them; besides bei...

How can you own or protect land because i'm so confused There's a teleport in the spawn room; in the building on the other side, there's a shop giving away free protectors. Just place one and everything around it (I believe within 8 nodes) will be protected. Actually, it protects blocks for five no...
