First two, yep. But that is not a buzzard. It's a dragon.

Also, the big thing on the right is the luck dragon from Neverending Story.

@greydmiyu Sorry for the mistake with quoting (it was an honest mistake). The majority of rendering and lighting in Minetest (currently) is done by the CPU. The GPU is pretty much not utilised at all so I really don't find Vazon's problem particularly surprising. Add to that, hmmm, let's say just 10...

I'm not saying that Minetest doesn't need work. But what we don't need is people engaging in extreme hyperbole on what is needed just to run the thing. A singleplayer game with an essentially empty world. Yes that will be fine. Try running a server and you'll start to run into walls pretty quickly....

And all that stuff is of only 393,9 kBytes in size. Compress that now. Size has nothing to do with it. It's the increase in CPU load that is important. ~People are eager to ADD a lot of mods but for some reason can't deal with the necessity of DELETION of a SINGLE folder. It is much, much, much eas...

Aside that, it's rather heavy, complex (always potentially buggy and not easy to fix) and can be used for add some infinite loops that would effectively shutdown and slow down the servers. Hey, we agree! I like mesecons in singleplayer games, but on a server (where CPU usage is always pretty high e...

I never thought I'd see the day but a group of players has mined (legit) to the bottom of the world. Not only that but you can walk down (or back up) the entire distance. At the beginning there was me (Zeno aka Onez), CWz, RedDog, SantaKlaus, deezl, and many others who I'm afraid I may have forgotte...

(counter: server owners can just remove it. We shouldn't restrict features because of this, providing that server owners can just delete, rather than searching around default/init.lua or something. I disagree with that. Using git to keep up with things that others are doing and "just delete th...

If you need help with this I am very willing. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time.

I have built Qt (4 and 5) applications on Windows 7 before (including choosing the necessary .dlls for distrubution) so I may be able to help. For **my** latest Qt5 app, I have the following dlls (I don't know what compiler you use so you'll have to adjust the libgcc and stdc related ones). Also you...

I've been testing it for about 6 or 7 days on Onez' Server and not noticed anything unexpected.

Github is also recommended (especially when they tend to get more mods :-)) I sort of take it to an extreme: I won't use a mod if it's not on github (or something similar that supports git of course). I don't do this for any moral or ethical reason but mainly because I don't want to have to constan...

Dude, i did a favour to you by enlightening you about LuaFFI. Instead of learning you are now resorting to nitpicking on dictionary definitions. But, anyway, i lose nothing by ignoring you. There are some people that cannot be wrong. No, I'm able to be wrong. I already knew about LuaFFI but thanks ...

You realise that embedding and extending are essentially the same thing, right?

aldobr wrote:

Is this merely the recommended way or actually the only way?

There is no recommended way. But doing it other way makes no sense.

Which method does the minetest source code use? I'll give you a hint... the traditional way.

I can't get it to find your example C library. It compiles fine, but it gives this error when I try to play the game. It gives the same error if I change the name of the library to look for to something that doesn't exist, so it must not be finding it. Do you have any idea what's wrong? Thanks, ele...

A mod can include a C library (with require() or something), right? I really don't want to have to do that, but I might have to. Yes (although as you said it might be best not to). A very simple example without error checking or much else. After compiling you'll have to make sure mttestc.so is in y...

Interesting article

Really nice work RealBadAngel

If you're referring to my PR, then no.. it didn't fix it. The segfault actually seems to be in the_game(), after main() calls it, but I'm not 100% sure because it's kind of random to reproduce.

Typo: "You can not use " should be "You cannot use " Well, that's debatable. If you want to emphasize the word not then I think it would be worth writing as "can not " (e.g. "you can not use Word"). In general "cannot" and "can not" are bo...

Another way is to use the IRC mod: https://github.com/kaeza/minetest-irc

That way you can login to the server using IRC (once you grant yourself or a special player/account irc_admin) and do stuff that way.

Some people just can't stand the coolness.

hah! :)

rename the "boats-master" directory (folder) to something like "boats"

Major rewrite (see original post for new download links) Potential issues: This version requires no special privs apart from interact. The new priv "tpr_admin" is now only registered if regnewpriv is set to true. Currently the new privilege does nothing and may be deprecated unless somebod...

I disagree
