Re: A new name for Minetest

I read the first post, but I'm saying the name I would choose is Minetest. I like it. I think it's the best name for us. Can you please stop trolling? If you really red the first post, read the thread title too and don't forget to read the word new in it. And again, this is a fun thread, the other ...

Re: Irrlicht has been forked! IrrlichtMt created

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

And for Festus, it ain't broke.

But for the developers, Irrlicht is broke, so they do have to fix it.

Both are perfectly legitimate.

Re: needing updates

The philosophy of Minetest at this point is that subgames or "games" are first class citizens. If you don't know what that means, That is just the devs in a bid to promote the engine rather than minetest , what we will end up with is quirky sub games that they will praise for just bieng u...

Re: minetest 5.4 glitch snow in the desert and kelp

That's a strange mapgen error... One way to easily fix it would be to change your world seed. The seed of the world provides the random values that make the world seem different each time. So if you just change it to a different value, (which could be anything, as Minetest will put it into a format ...

Re: Irrlicht has been forked! IrrlichtMt created

It'll be exciting to see what developments might be added to Irrlicht for Minetest. Slightly annoying that its another thing to grab to compile, but I think its probably going to end up being a worthy price to pay.

Pretty nice mod, just have one question though, why is it under WTFPL instead of lets say CC0?
This is not really a justification for WTFPL but rather a plausible reasoning for not CC0

An excellent video showcasing the mod. I'm quite impressed and will definitely get more into the tool when I have the chance. Production quality is also quite good in the video.
