Re: [0.4.14] LinuxGaming2 - A Server for Builders

Which client should I download to be able to use it? The server is running the development version of MT 0.4.14 released 2016_09_14. This is interesting. When attempting to join the server it fails with the following message: Protocol version mismatch. Server enforces protocol version 28. We suppor...

Why C++ instead of Lua?

There are a great many plausible options which can be leveraged right now, with no changes to minetest, including C.

Re: [Modpack] Creatures MOB-Engine [2.0 beta] [cme]

Does anyone know how to make the mobs of Creatures have more health and deal more damage? I would appreciate any help, -Minerz Sure. Each creature has an init.lua file with a def table which defines those values. Change them and viola. See the the api for details regarding the def table (and more).

Re: [0.4.13][not a bug] MESE ore light problem

Mese has been made emit light. It seems many people see this as bug, but its no bug, its intended as feature. ah, thanks for explanation, could this glow be more radial? It's because nodes that emit light don't have smooth shading, while most other nodes do, like stone. Sounds (and looks) like a bu...

Re: Idea: Isolated mobs

Re: Minetest UI en menu look

When we speak about 9-slice, are we referring to normal images with the details of slicing described by external code? Might be simpler and more known to use 9-patch (https://developer.android.com/tools/hel ... patch.html).

Hey Tomas, This is amazing work. After trying it out a bit, in conjunction with biomesdev, I've got a few suggestions. Ores should definitely be a part of this. It's a central aspect of geology, and you can't craft an entirely new rock system without considering how it informs the presence of ores, ...

Maybe it should be a highly composite number instead. I mean, I like 100 as much as the next fellow whose native base is 10, but it's divisibility is only slightly better than 99.

Line of slight only glow node placement, which I'm not even sure is a good idea. It would be better to do a floodfill in the air nodes, so only the nodes connected with the source will be replaced.
