Minetest Forums

Small note: in your README.md file, the installation instructions tells the user to rename the extracted folder "bewarethedark" ...
I suppose it should be "telemosaic" :)

For IRC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat It's an instant messaging system (think facebook messages for example, or google hangout) that works with different channels. There is a channel dedicated to minetest where you can talk with other people. For github, it's a "git" h...

If it's installed in /usr, I suppose, you did it as root.
And if you try to run it as a user, can you verify you have enough permissions to access the mod files ? (Read for files and read + execute for directories)

I add the quite the same kind of problem: too much of the same kind of biome in the same area and having to walk a long time before getting in a nice place. So I changed this in my minetest.conf to get a little bit more variation in humidity and heat: mg_biome_np_heat = 50, 50, (500, 500, 500), 5349...

Cool, I was thinking about creating a similar mod !

Ouch; je dirais un problème de sauvegarde de la map...

Est-ce que tu as au moins l'interface joueur (inventaire, ...) ?
Si c'est le cas, tu es probablement quelque part entre deux blocs.
Le plus simple c'est d'activer le mode qui permet de voler (fly) et de se déplacer pour voir.

Dans le répertoire "worlds" tu devrait trouver un répertoire avec le nom de ton monde. Et dans ce répertoire là, un fichier nommé "env_meta.txt".
C'est ce fichier qui est erroné. En général, simplement le supprimer (ou renommer) suffit à faire redémarrer le monde.

To test some mapgen parameters, I first created simple chat command to explore the world. You can find it in: https://oleastre.be/git/?p=minetest-oleastre.git;a=blob_plain;f=oleastre/tools.lua Then, create a world with the correct game, and mods activated (name it 'A'). After having it created, remo...

To all the other comments I just say: Sorry, but you are off-topic. This topic is about a specific rule I proposed, not about Minetest's dependency management system in general. I think that's the root of the problem. As minetest's dependency management lacks some features you have to rely on namin...

I remember reading some discussions about custom mappable keys... (but cannot remember where)

Something already asked here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/560

First, I really like this mod... creating your clothes in game is a lot more fun than just changing a skin. I just have a simple question about the current loom machine recipe: would you consider a pull request that replace the current default:pinewood with group:wood to simplify the use of your mod...

Using mgv5/7 generators, you can simply use register_decoration and specify a list of biomes where your content should be placed (don't know if it works with mgv6). Another solution is to register an "on_generated" callback with the current mapgen. This will give you a map of the generated...

If it can help with the development of a specific android game, I can share some scripts to create and maintain games based on minetest_game and a list of mods. I use that to periodically update my own game (almost vanilla stuff plus some small patches to make everything work seamlessly)

Some dev can probably confirm, but mostly, the singleplayer tab is just a shortcut to launch a server with a predefined user name which is "singleplayer".

You can already do something similar using the "server" tab of the UI: pick a world, a user name and a password.
Minetest will launch and connect you to your world with the given username.

Sorry, but I probably lack some background to understand your answer. Can you point me to the freeminer explanation so that I can understand ? I understand that it requires more work to get a pull-request integrated in another project. But on the the long term, you will benefit from all the other im...

Every time I see that kind of fork I wonder why ? From your description, most of the work is done as a subgame. So, what prevents you to contribute your changes to the engine so that every minetest user can benefit from those changes ? Those changes can be packaged as a separate repository but contr...

I came to the same conclusion, that's what I did in my simplev7 branch to generate trees, and what triggered this idea.

And currently there is no way to register L system based trees as decoration (from what I've seen, there is some initial code, but that never calls the actual generation )...

Aside of that, my suggestion is more generic than trees... it's just that's what triggered the idea.

Nice to see some progress on standard biomes for mg v5/7, thanks for all that work ! Of course my current solution using saplings is only a workaround... Lua defined schematics is maybe sufficient to generate trees, but it's just a predefined structure with some random variation. Allowing to call a ...

I'm currently playing with map generation. I started with MTDad simplev7 and was a little bit annoyed by the schematics tree, and asked myself: why not using default mod tree growing functions ? So, I started a big rewrite of the mod you can see the work in progress here: https://github.com/oleastre...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't username and password stored per world ?
If that's the case, a simple salt could be the world's seed (should be sent to the user before identification is done). That one is a constant that does not change for a given world.

I started a new world today using your mod and mgv5. Until now, I really like the kind of generated land, caves, ...

I just did a small change: use minetest game's pine tree instead of your custom snow tree (did a pull request ongithub if you want to includes this).

Maybe you forgot to switch to the mgv5 branch ?
=> git checkout -b mgv5
