Releasing Minetest for jailbroken iOS devices may be possible (Irrlicht does have iOS ports), but do we want to spend a considerable amount of manpower on this task?

The version of Minetest included in Ubuntu's repositories is too old. You have two choices if you want to stay up-to-date: ⋅  Use a PPA as mentioned by TumeniNodes, ⋅  or compile Minetest from sources. Here's a script for doing it on Debian/Ubuntu: https://forum.minetest.net/view...

ok but just one question: how can i get freeminer source code? You can get Freeminer's source code here: https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer Here's a direct .zip download if you do not have Git installed: https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer/archive/master.zip However, note that compiling Mine...

I suggested a switch to Antarctica, it got shot down pretty fast :-/ We can do a lot with Irrlicht already, including very optimized stuff, it just needs to be done. No need for an engine switch for this (even though Irrlicht development isn't very active nowadays). I'm pretty sure that motion blur...

I would guess it's a 16-bit, signed, 3-dimensional vector.

In my experience, singleplayer with LevelDB had more stuttering than with SQLite, and that was on a SSD (Samsung 840 PRO, 256 GB).

This worked on both my laptop and my server, but I cannot figure out where to put mods. I have tried putting them in ~/.minetest/mods but this did not work, and on my server there is no longer a /usr/share/games/minetest directory. I have tried putting mods in the old directory which is showing on ...

Font Library or Google Fonts' GitHub repository (download a .zip, fonts are in apache/, ofl/ and ufl/ folders).

You can compile Minetest from sources. See the GitHub project for instructions.

You can also try this, it can be used on servers as well: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3837

num_emerge_threads sets the number of threads to use for C++ map generation only, it won't affect mods and other areas of the engine.

Sure, I just need to have a reliable dependency list for Fedora. Simply put, I need to know which set of packages needs to be installed to make Minetest build, starting from a "bare" Fedora install.

Bienvenue !

Type make -j$(nproc) if you want make to use all CPU cores, without having to know the number of threads available. Of course, make without any arguments works too, but will be slower.

Animation blending is not used in Minetest because of an Irrlicht bug.

We should just support F11 as well as Alt+Enter to toggle fullscreen, those are common combinations in programs.

So...is the large_hotbar a mod you made yourself? Because I cant find it anywhere...and I really want it... Yes, it's a tiny mod that enlarges the hotbar. If you want it yourself, create a folder called large_hotbar/ , create an init.lua file inside and write this: -- large_hotbar: Makes the hotbar...

Minetest does not support UPnP or NAT hole punching, so the port can't be forwarded for you (or the NAT punched through).

If you want to use an external program to forward ports though UPnP, you can try UPnP PortMapper.

If clients connect on the local network and the server has 4 GB of RAM and a decent CPU, there should no need for a RAMdisk. I have successfully run a server with 18 clients on a single-core VPS with 2 GHz of CPU and 1 GB of RAM (and 50 GB of SSD). Try playing around with those settings: https://for...

In my experience, browser-based games remain too slow to be really usable. See WebQuake if you want to try, or BananaBread. Those run at least 3 times slower than their native counterparts.

Maybe WebAssembly will make this better, but it's not guaranteed.

I don't think we have client-side game/mod translations yet.

There are two schools with programming: start with low-level (or middle-level) programming, then go higher-level, or start with high-level programming, then go lower-level. The latter seems to be more popular lately, and I would rather advocate for that one.

From what I've noticed the server itself just loads the .lua and other config files. Its the client that loads the textures and audio etc. Consolidating the textures should in theory help with the load times as there will be less textures that the server has to send to the client. Consolidating the...

Yes, as everything in Minetest (at least in Minetest Game) is freely licensed.

Thank you! I'll see if I can get this to work on windows. You will need Cygwin to run collectstatic.sh. I recommend Babun to get it working quickly on Windows (along with nice zsh goodies). Note that some additional packages may be required; if they aren't present, you can use the "pact instal...

1. Set up an Apache or nginx server accessible from the Web. 2. Run this script at the root of a Minetest installation. 3. Move the generated "media" folder to your Apache/nginx installation, and rename it to "minetest" (the name can be anything, it's just for convenience purpos...
