Re: Submit my new game to ContentDB?

Hi! It's quite well polished in a gameplay sense. That's great, we could use more of that. I've been hesitant in the past to do this due to all the concerns about copyright, etc. but I suppose the whole point is to get help making sure it's clean before submission. Part of my hesitance comes from ha...

Re: Minetest character making.

I was thinking the blender file can be made into a b3d file from something I do not remember, though it may have been a python file on this forum. You're probably thinking of GreenXenith's b3d exporter . Though what other file formats can be used with minetest now or in more early versions, like 5....

Re: WIP Mod Question

Moved to modding discussion and merged. As for Lua: I recommend reading Programming in Lua . Lua is a very beginner-friendly language (if it wasn't as niche, it would be my clear favorite for a programming language to suggest to beginners), but there are a few pitfalls to watch out for; a good edito...

Re: Change texture

Itemstacks are copies of the real itemstacks; modifying them does not mutate the real itemstacks. If this is in an on_* callback, you probably forgot to return the itemstack. If you obtained the itemstack by getting it from an inventory, you should set the updated itemstack (don't do this in an on_*...

Re: The future of Minetest mods

I'm kind of disappointed no 5.8.0 release was tagged for Minetest Game. It shouldn't take long to make a tag, update the README to say "used to be bundled with", and make sure it flows onto ContentDB. I guess that shows how few people care about MTG as a game compared to the competition. ...

Gobtous: I think most of your problems can (and should!) be solved at a mod level. I think player shouldn't be able to register before reading the server rule.

Re: Performance lost on 5.7.0 over 5.6.1

Yeah, that strategy is called a "bisect", and you can use git bisect to conveniently assist you in doing this. If there is one "major" performance regression responsible for this, you can probably find it this way. But if it's a few smaller performance regressions adding up, a bi...

Re: Performance lost on 5.7.0 over 5.6.1

There might be an engine performance regression from 5.6.1 to 5.7.0, though I would also check to make sure you compiled a release build with LuaJIT. As for optimization: I believe I have elaborated this enough by now: player_api is not the issue. If you want proper data as far as the Lua side of th...

Two observations: (1) I think a "farmap" implementation would definitely benefit very much from good mapblock culling: Don't send invisible mapblocks. I think we already do this to an extent, but it could probably be improved. (2) From a distance, you can only see the outside surface of a ...
