Minetest Forums

Are you on Windows? Minetest's performance on Windows has been quite lower than on GNU/Linux lately.

Tigerlore wrote:Is there a way to get it to react instantly?

No, because pressure plates poll for player presence every second (doing it more often would use even more resources). There's currently no callback in the Minetest API that says, "do this when player steps on a node".

Smooth rotation (interpolating entity/player rotations) needs to be done in the engine. It's been proposed for a while now.

Changing the hurt flash color/effect is currently not possible without modifying the engine.

Indeed, Git for Windows works quite well. In fact, Microsoft has even contributed to it.

In my opinion, there is no good, free and open source, complete Git GUI that's cross-platform (and thus works on GNU/Linux). I would advise you to learn the Git command-line, basic operations are not that hard. Note that some editors like Atom have plugins to assist in Git usage ( git-plus in Atom's...

Maybe we'd be better off changing the GUI system entirely for something more standard (and prettier?), but it would break all mods. Those choices all seem viable to me: Nuklear imgui NanoVG NanoGUI (requires C++11) libRocket (uses a subset of HTML and CSS, slightly CPU-heavy, has been implemented in...

There's no need to reinvent the wheel. Here is a PR that adds support for mumble, an existing ingame voice thing: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3739 To be accurate, it adds support for positional audio in Mumble, which is considered useless by many users. (It's what makes it sound like ...

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/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3837 (use...

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.

benrob0329 wrote:Would it be possible to make one for Fedora?

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.
