Minetest Forums

Apparently a Minetest standalone map was in a Google CTF thing recently. Below video link has the guy solving the logic puzzle and it has a good number of views (~40k). Just thought I would share it.

First, I don't think fragmentation is an issue. For one, I think most people go through the mods sub forum to find mods. Even if you go through GitHub tags you mostly just see the most popular mods unless your willing to dig down. Most mods aren't even tagged based on the last time I looked at the l...

Just my two cents about this topic. I tried working on the wikis several years ago and eventually gave up. Mostly I was confused what went in which wiki. I guess the Dev wiki should hold data for core developers and anyone extending the engine while the General wiki holds minetest history, info on d...

Suggesting a furry mod with tails, ears and muzzles like this minecraft mod: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/tails/images Creatures by MirceaKitsune has anthropomorphic character models & textures. Doesn't add tails and ears to existing models like your linked MC mod. The mod may be a...

@Krock is your list all mods that are used on all (announced) servers or is there some sort of threshold for either number of servers using a mod or number of clients on a server? I.E is the above list all mods used on servers or just the most used mods on the most popular servers. Also I noticed de...

I always wonder why people forget about MirceaKitsune's Creatures mod. Here is a link: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9240 Last updated about a year ago so maybe that is why people forget about it? Has some interesting features like compositing images for fur patterns and clothi...

There is a Quests framework by TeTpaAka. Form topic: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11265

I just want to put out that I started programming when I was around 11. I started with Python, moved into javascript with html/css, and did C++ when I got to college. I think I'm a decent "programmer", but my software engineering skills (designing the program architecture) are lacking. How...

I'm am please it is working at all on a server. I did next to no testing in a multiple user environment. :) I don't know how much I can help you right now with school and all. I'm having some trouble understanding the situation exactly from what you said. Basically you have a number of people on a s...

With how it was set up you won't get any mining experiance without geting like level 3 digging. Glad you like it. :)

ok. The chat commands are a bit picky as I didn't put too much time into them. They are sensitive to capitalization so if you typed "/skills Digging" and the skill is actually called d igging it will have an error. So use the exact name that "/skills" provides. As for the gui the...

@TheReaperKing: glad to hear you are interested in it and sorry to hear you are having trouble with it. I have been very busy this summer and am just starting my last(I hope) year of college so I haven't had time to work on this. If I remember right the repo has commits for 0.5 but I needed to test ...

I made a pull request several days ago, but I guess you didn't see it so I'll post here as well. If you didn't like my changes that fine too of course. I just updated it but if you push anything else it will become out of date again. https://github.com/hansonry/station17/pull/1 Sorry didn't post soo...

I went back and read the tg wiki a bit. Apparently the construction order is lattice > plating > floor/walls. You cannot remove platting with tools only destroy/break it so I guess only an explosion. Wiring and pipe goes on the plating level then you can lay floor tiles and build walls on top of tha...

I'm interested in helping. I was thinking the atmos system could be some kind of modified LINDA, with the the hardest part probably being understanding LINDA itself. There are some things that would be impractical with current minetest though, like spacewind, and there are some other issues that co...

I don't know how easy or desirable this is, but maybe new posts to the WIP and Release categories should require filling out a form instead of the normal post creator/editor. Then a script could be used to search for the technical name and warn that the given name is already used. It would also help...

Here is a mod that breaks up the repeated-ness of textures. It randomly rotates them for each node. https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10845 If you want bigger nodes, you could try scaling all models down, slow down player physics, and reduce the player camera height(I think you can ...

So I just spent 10-20 minutes trying to find documentation on the connected nodebox drawtype to figure out why it wasn't working. It was a fairly "duh" moment, but I was surprised that I didn't see any documentation on it other then in the Lua_api.txt and that was obscure enough that I mi...

And I didn't realize this was a fairly old thread until I was half way through writing this post. So I'm going to go ahead and post it and hope I don't get tar and feathered. There are lots of ideas in this area all of which need more research. For example you could probably get away from the secur...

Hay, I forked it and hope I can contribute some though I've been really busy lately. x.x Some questions: * Do you have any ideas as to how you want the mods folder structured? I.e. nameing, where to put various things, and the like. * Do you have a license chosen? FYI, Here is a mod that adds some s...

I actually thought about this, making a SS13 subgame, myself right after I read about the death of the attempt to rewrite SS13 to be standalone. I was thinking more along the lines of how to implement the mechanics of the station (wireing, solar panels, tools, sigularity generator). You could maybe ...

I didn't mean the MOD, I just meant a simple survival server with protection mods and "factions". Just to clear things up;) As for setting up a server you need to learn some skills, but that is a big part of the fun. “The journey, not the destination” and all that. ;) There is a guide in ...

There is still a lot things left. Read this topic here it will tell you everything about factions. Read it, but I still don't know what is missing. The only post that actually explaines a specific feature is SaKeL (the "influence allows claiming land") which is more of an extension to a b...

You can't make a faction server right now as there are no proper mods out there. And factions will lag a lot too. So right now, nope its not possible I know of two off the top of my head. I have no clue about their buggyness/lag but here they are: by jonjeg back in 2012(probebly needs updating): ht...
