I'll be that guy... Infinite loops are harmless or not possible ?

Probably because they don't know about it. To be accurate, using hardware coloring doesn't reduce the number of nodes, only the number of base textures. To be able to register a single node that can have many colors, I think you have to use palettes.

Out of curiosity, do you have pointers about using Lua as a configuration language being an anti-pattern ?

A Twitch streamer was trying MT the other day. He eventually tried Hades and was quite pleased. I also started playing it because it looked like he had a lot of fun. BTW previously he also did your tutorial, which sets the mapgen to singlenode. Unfortunately, some other games it tried don't force th...

Remove the Sword in the basic game and see what will happen. Are swords still in default ? They could at least be removed from there and put into an own mod. You could say the same about books and bookshelves, signs, mese tools, perhaps even locked chests and keys (useless in a single player game) ...

Implementing it that way is just a gross PR coup. If you want to distribute books, use a document format.

Maybe take a look at this at Under Sky: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16058

If I understand things correctly, the spreading behavior is done by an ABM created by the flowers mod that operate on the "flora" group. It appears that marram grass is not in the flora group so it doesn't spread. Is it intended? On the problem of the spreading behavior, it seems to me tha...

If you want "no slow loading time" and "not laggy", you should tell your location; surely connecting to a US server from EU doesn't help with those issues.

If you are in EU and see a Minefall server in the server list some day, you might want to give it a try.

No idea if or when i will code this, but useful information for those who have forked this. The new 'get heat/humidity at point' API of MT 5.x.x should be used in this mod instead of the calculation of heat and humidity noises using hardcoded default noise parameters. However of course, the mod wou...

I have added a definition parameter, "slanty", to control the slant of the trunk. Available in the repo. Here is an ice tree with snow leaves, fresh water "fruits" and slanty=2 : https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=21251 FYI, the snow blocks in my game are defined as ...

Following the discussion here and on Reddit, I have removed the altitude effect on smoke persistence. This means that smoke will not persist longer in caves, mainly. Version 0.6 is available in the repo. I figured out that this feature was not entirely solving the problem it was intended to solve an...

Also, is there a reason why the inventory of the table is dropped when one closes the formspec? I was expecting a behavior similar to furnaces and chests (one cannot remove the node if it is not "empty"). Well, technically the items are on the table, just take them back. XD Sure but is th...

Astrobe, Your post seems directed at me, so in response: Yes, it was an answer to your previous statement and was directed at the people who make decisions about MT and MTG. Perhaps my tone was a bit aggressive. It's not because of contempt or anything but because of interest. It is "positive ...

Vanilla MTGame is meant to be playable, and it is playable keeping in mind the sort of 'game' it is. It is just not particularly exciting and is just a basic sandbox/building game. I think you don't realize how important the first impression is for most players. Usually attracting and keeping users...

Nathan kindly made a review on Youtube.

My thought is that dynamic colored lighting could be implemented as a special type of LuaEntitySAO, therefore no change to the database format or network protocol would even be required (I think). Here is a very basic specification that comes to mind: [...] That looks appetizing. Are those specs ba...

https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=21155 The really aberrant trees. On the left: a glass-and-steel tree, mese lamps are its fruits. A generally small tree. Center: a desert stone "petrified" tree. The model specifies "air" as leaves. On the right: a stone tree with ...

Aberrant trees is an enhancement of RND's trees . It adds an API that makes it easier to define the parameters of a tree. Parameters include trunk and leaves material, optional fruits, average size, rate of growth... One can programmatically define various tree types. The "aberrant sapling"...

Yet another excellent suggestion! New version 0.5 has landed in the repo (cf. first post): new smoke node model, based on FaceDeer's, with both parts assymetric the model randomly rotates when it moves on the application part, the new function smoke.add_source let the user set the smoke regeneration...

Don't call yourself autistic if you have not actually be diagnosed with an autistic disorder. Be more creative with self-deprecation. Regarding MTG, that it is not playable is a hyperbole. Its issues have been debated to death indeed, everyone wants to steer it in a direction they think is good - an...

Thanks FaceDeer for the report (*) and for the great suggestion. I went further and implemented the rotation and asymmetrical idea (by "lifting" up the center ring of your model), but it seems less good to me. Applying a random rotation on your model works great already. I am play-testing ...

Or you can make them useful. If you use the bushes as the source of materials to build the first set of tools (bush stem -> wood planks and sticks -> wood pick/axe/shovel/sword), then all the rest can require an appropriate tool: tree leaves (or anything one would use a machete on - except for bushe...
