Confirming that num_emerge_threads = 1 in minetest.conf does not seem to affect the problem, it still occurs the same way.

Very interesting. Thank you for testing and mentioning those details, it may help in finding a solution.

FWIW, I didn't mean that drawing beyond the bounds of the chunk might cause it, I meant that being limited to within the bounds of the on_generate chunk may cause it if you don't also successfully spawn the structure in every other chunk that the structure touches. Are the missing parts aligned wit...

I should clarify that I'm already using the vmanip to spawn structures with on_generate. I understand this function should now only attempt to spawn a piece of schematic that intersects the chunk in cause. So this shouldn't be a case of chunk overflow normally, since I use the vm provided by the gen...

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8232 This is an old problem that's affected my Structures mod for years. Now that its city generator is nearing completion and I'm in the process of designing a new city with large buildings, this bug is the last thing standing in the way and posing a huge...

As promised, here are the redesigned appliances. I haven't committed them to Git just yet, but once I do they will be part of the new default city for my Structures mod. https://i.imgur.com/HemlhbI.png https://i.imgur.com/9zHEpMz.png https://i.imgur.com/adUeeuF.png https://i.imgur.com/X2XdhRe.png

Forgot to mention that I've also redesigned the import / export node. The node is now constant, no more connecting / disconnecting when placing the markers... this fixes some annoyances and should also improve performance. Node replacements can also be specified directly in the I/O formspec. I've al...

I've began working on new structures to replace the old town early this year, shortly after fixing up the code and adding some crucial performance improvements. Here are a few images showing some of the new roads. Buildings are still a work in progress and will require new code fixes. Multiple road ...

7 years after this mod was born and died, it seems it might actually help me out. I need some basic furniture and appliances for the new city which I'm in the progress of designing for my recently revived Structures mod. I already looked at Home Decor and X-Decor , but found both to be too heavy or ...

Alright. I've updated Minetest and am now thinking of taking another look at both Structures and Creatures, to at least bring them up to date with the latest code after 4 years since I last touched them. I have a small favor I'd like to ask if anyone has a few minutes to spare: Could you please list...

Will this mod be updated once the player API comes in 5.0? It is kinda buggy in modern versions and could use the new functions such as player collision box changes and such. It has been quite a while since I've been active on MineTest. I will have to see about it sometime. For now I'm hoping the m...

But that's just it, it wouldn't be realtime because all of the message passing for every single user event would be subject to increasing network latency across each additional peer to ensure synchronicity. In multiplayer games demanding responsiveness, like PVP for example, I'm inclined to believe...

I think, you didn't get my problem. Imagine the following situation: Player A lives far away so noone else downloads his blocks. He build a nice house and goes offline. After that, player B goes online and doesn't know anything about player A. He goes to the same blocks where player A lives and bui...

I can imagine that this might work somehow. If each player had to calculate updates of all blocks those are currently updated, it would lag more. Maybe the players could update only a part of them when there are too many players online. I thought that playing on a server like this could result in m...

Nice idea. I can see several problems those have to be solved: Is there any mechanism to update mods? Who has the right to update mods? Everyone connected to the server is something like an owner. All cheats in singleplayer now work in multiplayer too. And there isn't anyone to do anything against ...

I have a very interesting idea that I'd like to discuss. It's a pretty radical suggestion, but just as amazing and worth considering in my opinion. It's a proposal I'm planning to poke several game engines about, and Minetest (with other Minecraft like games) would be the first to benefit from such ...

This must be the most amazing thing that's been done with Minetest so far. I truly hope development on the engine fork will continue: This idea is much too good! Subscribing to this thread for any more updates.

Look in creatures_races_default/init.lua at the creatures:register_spawn functions. The parameters there define the overall spawn rate of each creature.

Yes: I remember a problem of my mod was that you have to disable player.lua manually. I was going to make a pull request for minetest_game which made it possible to turn off the default player animation system using a variable, but I took my long break from Minetest modding at that time. Creatures w...

and I agree with the previous post about the ghost thing, this is a good framework but ghosts and posessing do not always fit in with every subgame/mod The issue again is that, there's no better system with the default creatures; The player is given free choice as to which creature to possess, so c...

someone needs to fork this mod and make it actively developing again, it is so outdated, you can't even use 3d armor with this mod yet. Actually you can't use 3D armor because my code and models simply aren't compatible with it, intended plans included an armor system originally for the mod. As for...

I have seen many people say that terasology is almost unplayable with effects enabled. It tends to look 'good' in screenshots (and many enthuse over the screenshots alone) but playing it is very different. Maybe terasology is not a good example. It all depends on hardware. The nice thing about such...

Yep... great example: Compare Terasology and Minetest (both with highest effects) and it's impossible not to see exactly what I mean.

Yes... I can't argue what paramat said there. I do believe the MineTest team ignores visual aspects in general... which isn't referring to models and textures, as much as to special effects and shaders. This is a general divide in the community; Some players (like myself) are interested in everythin...
