sudo should not be put before every command. It's a security risk and possibly breaks permissions for files. The 1-line script works fine on Debian 8 without these added sudos (only needs a replacement for libjpeg8).

Re: [0.4.13-dev] Capture the Flag Server (Guns!)

I dont agree. 2 minutes is really enough to gather some weapons and apples and build a base, even when you're alone to do it. Btw, if your teammates aren't selfish, they will put some useful stuff in the team chest (Ok, i admit, that's pretty rare xD). Or you can go in the caves and collect some st...

Re: [0.4.13-dev] Capture the Flag Server (Guns!)

I've seen one team kind of abusing the "skip to next match" option to skip to the next match if the defence of the other team was so strong they couldn't reach the flag. I see that it may be frustrating if you can't get to the other flag, however it's never impossible to reach it. If the d...

Re: [0.4.13-dev] Capture the Flag Server (Guns!)

How many points does one team have to score for a map reset? For the past 30mins or so the map was resetting frequently, is 1 point already enough? If so I'd propose to increase it because this way games don't last very long. They should be much more interesting when the teams build castles, dig tun...

Re: [Debian / Ubuntu] 1-line script: install Minetest Git

On Debian 8.2 I got this: Package libjpeg8-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

Re: Minetest FPS

Does Minetest offer a batch counter? I can imagine the batch count could be an issue which the texture atlas and VBOs may reduce.

Re: Optimizing the networking code

By far view, do you mean unlimited view range? That will always be slow. It renders every loaded block. Yes I did. I found out what you said some hours ago. Increasing the view distance to a level that is comparable to Minecraft's far distance (where I get 150-400 FPS) still drops FPS below 60 (and...

I suffer from this as well, both on Windows and Linux. It is related to frame time jitter. You can check current jitter in debug menu.

Re: Optimizing the networking code

When I picked up MT early this year (0.4.9) for the first time I was turned off by low performance and lag as well. I suffered from lag several seconds long (even in single player). I'm pretty sensitive to low FPS and lag which is why I turned the game down. I consider them to be the #1 issue as wel...

Re: Speeding up mapgen?

I consider my computer to be powerful (i5 4570) but I often experience slow chunk loading, too. Guess it is an optimization problem.

Re: One-line script for installing Minetest Git, Debian-base

One can slightly improve performane by adding -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-march=native -O3 -pipe" to cmake arguments. This should especially increase performance on AMD bulldozer based systems. Note that -pipe only increases compile speed but does not optimize anything. If your compiler goes out o...

Just wanted to chip in as I thought about this topic as well. I'm not sure if bringing Minetest to classroom should be our main goal.

You can combine textures in Minetest (laying one over the other) like this: bottom_layer_texture.png ^ top_layer_texture.png Thanks, I might include this in later versions.

[Mod] Player textures by hash code [player_hash_skins]

This mod calculates a hash code of a player's name and chooses a texture for him according to this hash code. This means everybody is given a kind of random skin. It still creates a personal identity because this skin will be the same every session and across all servers that use this mod if the use...

Minetest 0.3.1 is in the Raspbian repository. So somebody was able to compile it. But it only uses the software renderer I think.
