A lot of that is indeed very pretty.

That the one you're talking about? Wow it even has physics for the terrain and buildings. That's downright awesome.

Colored light rays are not impossible because they can't be achieved in Irrlicht; they are impossible because the developers simply do not like doing them. That's cool. Getting some money in the hands of devs is one of the perpetual issues with open source, and another reason I sort of liked the id...

Meh. Apparently someone is working on it.

"However; Blender's engine would take too much time to cross implement" The whole Blender thing is really just my own personal private obsession. I feel like having a game engine attached to blender gives the game engine legs. Blender has demonstrated a long and robust history of keeping u...

These links are not terribly informative. They do not seem to indicate that it is impossible to implement shaders. It looks like colored lights might need some significant rewriting. I have a ton of questions, but no time to really follow up right now, but I guess my bottom line is graphics seem to ...

Ahem, is that lighting only that defines "high end game"? ;P Anyway to clear things out: shaders for MT are being developed all the time. There are some features already done, like bumpmapping, parallax oclussion, generation of normalmaps on the fly, some geometry shaders (waiving stuff)....

Love love. Much love. Thank you thank you. Having sounds more or less as 3d reference for the objects making the sounds is great. Better games these days support surround sound that can be invaluable if you are listening for the tell tale sounds of someone coming up from a blind spot. I guess that's...

I think that is the very one I thought I had heard of, and could not find since I forgot that name. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Ok now I see what has happened. Thanks guys. It was never my intention to cause a kerfuffle! I just wanted to understand what the underlying issues were. So again, thanks. Further discussion along these lines would be appreciated, but not at the expense of anyone's emotional well being. ;-) It occur...

I have found one sound related mod, which is to create a jukebox. I am really more interested in just some constant background music and altered sounds. Anything out there anyone knows of?

If you hired just *one* game dev, he would recommend unity3d, as it is the fastest and easiest way to just start making games. TBH, if you are looking to make a voxel game for selling, you would go with higher end packages and stuff for the game. But with Minetest, which is free and entirely open s...

Ok, I can repro this with textures. I think what happens is if you try to add mods through the UI it erases everything else in the world.mt. With textures, the texture I added by hand from VanessaE had no screen shot, and there was this big message in red letters. So I just by instinct hit the "...

Minetest does not use a modified version of Irrlicht, but it does modify certain things, like the lighting. Blender's game engine isn't suitable for anything more than making small FPS. Generally. I certainly have not heard or seen anything out of Blender's engine to gainsay your opinion, but can y...

FWIW, I am having this issue using mobf as well. I have not messed with the armor settings yet.

I haven't entirely followed up on all the prerequisite mods, but it seems that I get animals to load fine. It's just that when I go to kill them either they have to move or I have to move, or else no damage is done when I hit them. Is this some sort of bug or is this a known issue that just has not ...

Hmm. Either I was not shutting down MT or I was not saving my changes, or something weird was happening. Anyhow, it seems to be working now, or at least the problems I have are no longer related to simply loading the mods.

Thanks.

It is. mobf_settings.conf retains changes, but world.mt does not. And even when I reset it, I get the errors mentioned above in the debug file.

Sheesh. Got a wolf to pop up once. Now even when I go back to enable all the mods I get errors stating they can't be found. This is what the load looked like in debub for the one time it worked. Irrlicht log: Irrlicht Engine version 1.8.1 Irrlicht log: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.2-1 (2014...

Just leave it as animals_modpack. It does not matter what it is called. A modpack is a collection of mods, show if you click a check box like "show mods in mod packs", then you will see mobf listed under it. Just enable the entire mod pack. Hope this helps. Mm. Didn't see your response. T...

I fired up Minetest and after fiddling with settings and so forth I wanted to add mobf, which I find called animals_modpack on github. This leaves me wondering what to rename it to. I go to add it under configure and sure enough it is not there after having called it "mobf". Also, none of ...

MT does its own lighting calculations and then puts these light levels into the Irrlicht scenery by manipulating texture contrast I think. So in that sense you could certainly say that MT goes its own way with Irrlicht; it certainly does lighting very differently from other Irrlicht games. The prob...

Irrlicht is the 3d rendering engine. It is used to draw 3d stuff (kind of, this is a simplification) Minetest is a game engine. It handles sound, player input, networking, etc. Minetest does not use a modified version of Irrlicht. It builds on top of it. I can't find the reference. It's entirely po...

The sunset in SEUS is actually quite good. Indeed. I have yet to get fog running the way I might like with it though. Also, there used to be a specific resource pack they liked to recommend? I forget (Ah, ChromaHills, downloading now) But one of the ones I used just shut off all light at times. (Cr...

I must have misread or misunderstood, but I had thought some months back someone from the crew here on Minetest had said that the code for Minetest was substantially modified from Irrlicht. Any links to any docs about the relationship between the two as it stands these days? Or did I just misread or...

Here lately on Minecraft I finally got around to trying some of the shaders. They look great during the day, but seems every one of them I try has some sort of problem with night, and even some with the transformation between day and night. One of the better effects basic Minecraft has is a nice sun...
