Minetest Forums

... Hrrrm. I'm too lazy to search for the topic, but you might find a working download via the Wayback Machine. web.archive.org.

... Also, try BlockMen's DirectX Build. Less bugs, more mod compatible, and generally just better all around.

Not sure if OpenGL is causing the crash.

... oh, cut me some slack here. No doubt that there are heavy differences in processors. There's only one way to tell how well Minetest will run on mobiles: test it on as many machines as possible. The Nexus 5 when it ships will become the most powerful non-Apple gaming phone. That would be a good p...

I'm assuming you don't have a desktop environment, otherwise you would have just dropped the folder into the terminal. ;-)

Luke of Playstarz has a build (touch interface!) of Minetest available on the Play Store. The Java frontend's closed source, but the backend is the Minetest-engine, and I assume the community will be making a lot of mobile optimizations. Considering that he has/had controllers working with STK, I wo...

Your settings are wonky. Grab BlockMen's DirectX build and give it a try.

CPU maxes out on my dualcore - although that's because I'm running both mobf and simplemobs, and did a few other tweaks. Running it as a multiplayer server is fine - so long as I have only three other players. Modern Minetest is pretty demanding. Older builds might run smoother, but the latest minet...

Ow, that's brutal.

This is the best build of minetest. Anyroad, you'll want to grab a lower-res texture pack from the TPs forum, install that, and try BlockMen's build again. Maybe DirectX will work (if not, you can change it to direct3d8)...

Good luck!

Half Life 3 confirmed.

Although I don't have a link to back me up, Celeron did say he wanted a proper mobs API for 0.5. Not mobs per-se, but the framework to allow for intelligent mobs. Or something like that.

When I first played Minetest, I was blown away - and that was dev 01-0222 or something like that. One of the earlier dev versions, anyways. Back then, there was a basic modding interface, and generally, we just messed around, built sculptures out of leaves, and tested out various things. Those mobs ...

It's coming out when it's ready to. In the meantime, you can benefit from the latest updates by using a custom build. I use BlockMen's Win32 build. For truly bleeding edge, grab sfan's build, or grab a build of proller's Next (from the engine development forum). We don't know when it'll be stable en...

Rwhat? Oh, remote console, as in server commands. This mod has shops and has a list of commands that server admins can use.

Should be fine.

No. Irrlicht dropped PPC support a few versions before the version Minetest uses. Sorry. If you really want to play Minetest, I suggest trying it in a VM.

No idea. Could it be GetText causing the issue? I'd remove locale, and it should run in English just fine.

I was going to say "Compile?" but it looks like you've sorted it out. 0.3.1 doesn't support mods (boo), so that was a chase after a phantom. Compiling is the best way to ensure you have the latest and greatest Minetest experience. :-)

If you have textures - non-minecraft - send 'em my way. I'd like to update my clothing mod!

How 2D mobs work? Is there limits on animations? I want to make a minetest game inspired by the early first-person games( ex. Doom, Catacomb 3d,etc.) [spoiler]Catacomb 3Dhttp://i.emezeta.com/weblog/videojuegos-shooters-fps/catacomb-3d.png[/spoiler] Before you contributed 3d models to Simple Mobs, i...

My pleasure.

:-/ I've had older unofficial builds crud out on me with XP. I'll stop shilling soon, honest, but I fully recommend giving BlockMen's Build a try . Be warned that it is built from the dev versions, so there might be incompatibilities with older servers.* Since it's newer, it brings a bunch of nice f...

I've never encountered that issue.

What OS, and what build are you running (official? what version?)? Information helps, 'kay?

In a steam punk universe, internal combustion engines - like those in cars - never happened. Instead, the world got more efficient steam engines, and analog mechanisms became smaller. I imagine gigantic robots, better vehicles- basically, like the Roman Empire era, except with vehicles.

And "robots".

A little feedback from a half-baked user. The Guard: Works well. I love having somebody to watch my back. The interface could use some work - give him an inventory of his own, with a weapons slot, armor slots, and maybe the ability to carry a few additional items. A screen with mob targetting button...

http://pinetarpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/beating-a-dead-horse-2.jpg Lay this one to rest :P In the past two years i've seen plenty of moves to emulate MCs' gameplay, and every once in a while everyone chants in unison that we are not copying MC, even though it's plainly obvious that we ar...

The problem is that the server missed a few packets due to lag. When the latest packet hit the server, it looked at the previous position and the new position and went "Aha! You can't move that fast." The protocol doesn't have lag-correction, so the server doesn't know that time passed between the t...
