Minetest Forums

Minetest sure isn't Minecraft. Minetest is open source and free, while Minecraft is proprietary and paid. Minetest is written in C++ while Minecraft is written in Java . Minetest has a modding api , while Minecraft does not . While Minetest is a Minecraft clone, it is based on early Minecraft gamepl...

*sigh*

Use skincraft for your skinning needs. Stu has released the NPC Framework - see it here - which makes creating NPCs much much easier! Go check out his code. There's an API to easily add new NPCs. :-)

Yeah, you can edit. Look in the "actionbar" beneath a post, to the right, and you should see Edit on your own. :-)

Mossmanikin's Memo Mod would be excellent, combined with a modified Prestibags mod , and the bookshelf inventory code. So, there's an idea, and it's quite quite feasible. In fact, I think it's quite doable as a modpack (memo, bookshelves, "prestibooks"). The only real work would be to ove...

... True.

@oxen:
Change the "video_driver" setting to be equal to direct3d9. Problem.... solved!

Oh, good honk.

Listen up, mate: install video drivers, and then try BlockMen's DirectX build. It's pretty much the best, up-to-date build out there.

Skins mod by Zeg9. You're welcome. Off you go, mizz(!)

My clothes mod more or less stalled, in part because I suck with models. I didn't want to break the skins, either.

Um. Did you try the BlockMen build? Go into options, turn off shaders, and it might run faster.

Early versions of Simple Mobs do just that: add back in the old mobs. The old way was actually better, CPU wise. Celeron took them out because he wanted to make it simple to change every aspect of gameplay. The old sod never did get around to making a proper Mob API, so they're more or less out for ...

That, and you might want to try an unofficial build - I recommend BlockMen's DirectX build. It should generate the world much faster, plus it likes DirectX, so you'll eke out better graphical performance.

Um, I have a similar machine. It could be that the video backend is eating CPU - try BlockMen's DirectX build - or it could be the network. I'd blame the backend, myself; I've only witnessed major slowdowns on an ancient dualcore with ~5 players. Minetest does take full advantage of the CPU when it ...

N-no, nothing like that! You see, I compiled a build myself - instructions are available in the forum and in the Readme - and I'm much more happy with this than pre-built binaries. Also, there's an advantage: you get to use up-to-the-minute code, which means there are less bugs!

Please try again, with Run-In-Place build.

Here's my take on Kaeza's wiki code. Simply dropped in textures and replaced... well, inserted the nodebox. http://www.filedropper.com/wiki

Ah, so it was Irrlicht causing a crash. $##@ Irrlicht! I wound up borrowing code from the early computers, and combined it with the Wiki for a cool look.

*raises eyebrow*

You can't, say download this one? Give it a shot again. It's been a long time since I used 0.4.2 (upgraded to 0.4.3, use that for legacy mods) - and the future is always in the latest version.

Softonic's automated installer scraper probably came across a link to minetest.net, and then decided, "Hey! Let's royally annoy the entire planet by uploading outdated versions, and hiding it behind adwalls, and lace the downloader with ad-bar installers!" ... it should be pretty obvious t...

*grin*

Open minetest.conf with wordpad. Add this line at the bottom:
video_driver = direct3d9

Oh, and you might want to turn shaders off in the settings menu. :-)

@Claire: It's great for multi-player, but it will probably never be added to minetest_game. Here's why: Minetest_game is a barebones, simple starter pack designed for offline play. Servers install mods at will, so adding a multiplayer-oriented mod to minetest is a little... extraneous. Singleplayer ...

I'm absolutely chuffed with what you've done. Finally, my LAN survival server is complete. Distance limited-viewing? Check. Limited chat? Check.

Simply fantastic.

There is currently an open bounty on this missing feature. The pot for it is currently at $50- bored coders, here's a chance to earn some Steam games!

So wait... someone could write the worst error prone nonoptimized implementation ever of one of the features and get 50$? Isn't that, like, the best way to decrease minetests quality? No, it isn't. Minetest began as a horribly unoptimized, laggy, featureless mess. There's also an advantage; since y...

Herro!

You don't seem to need help posting, so I won't offer to teach that. Whatever ya need, make sure to post in the correct forum with a clearly labelled topic.

Oh, lawd. Easy-peasy:
1. Open /boats/init.lua in Wordpad
2. Remove {flammable=1}
3. ???
4. Profit!

That said, if you want an Obisidian boat, just copy the code, change the recipe, and then use GIMP on the texture. :-)
