Minetest Forums

It does not glow and light the path as it drops,so part of the feel is still missing. Yeah, that's a missing feature in the engine. We don't have any light source for entities (technically the thrown node is an entity like mobs or dropped items), but only for static nodes. I think with the client s...

Simple mechanics when you place the torch and there is not a node close enough to be selected, it is tossed to where you would have selected it and it drops from there. That's a great idea, and shouldn't be that hard to do. And it would be quite fun to have it work for all nodes. We would need on_s...

Thanks, I didn't knew about that one. But I don't think I can use any of it. It's basically the same I am already doing, plus a lot of other features I don't think I need. Edit: I attached a new version of the liquid code (as a ready to use mod). Now it works for lava too and looks much smoother. Ed...

Item translations would be nice.

I vote for calling it "Minetest". It pretty much describes what this game is about. 1. It's not an engine. So there is no reverence to engine in the name. At the moment it's just Minetest with a Game. There are hardly any subgames that aren't just MTG+mods, and of the good ones many of the...

In the last few weeks I worked a lot on this subgame. There will be a more detailed post some time, for now you can look at the recent commits . Now I start to overthink the physics. Falling nodes already behave quite different from the engines default, and the way water renews changed. Now I consid...

Well... good to know.

Maybe a bug in the engine, or maybe I'm just stupid and someone can point me to my mistake: player:get_attributes returns a number as string. In my drowning mod . Remove "tonumber" and uncomment the print. This will cause this error: h_breath 0, typestring 2017-05-14 22:13:47: ERROR[Main]:...

Exactly this. It's for a hunger mod. But I can move it behind the other checks and be okay with it for now. Thanks for the answer.

This mod: compost . I made a fork to make the interface look more like a furnace, with progress arrow and such. But I also want to change the general behaviour. At the moment it takes 8 items to start composting, which might be confusing if you don't know. So I want each item to turn on its own into...

I missed that you can't make charcoal in MTG. To just have a cooking recipe might be better than to have coal as an ore. In fact lava contains a lot of oxygen. Otherwise it would be almost pure metals. Finding coal in lava just feels wrong to me. Whoever we could have a list additional_stuff.not_in_...

Does someone know how fast set_attribute and get_attribute are? Would it be better if I load them in local variables when used a lot?

@ pandaro
As far as I remember there once was an issue about overriding the hand in the minetest issue tracker. But I haven't found it on the fly.

Oh, that really is a good way to do it. I knew mine was just thrown together, but was to lazy to research on a better way. I will include it into the mod. However I would remove coal and diamonds, as those would burn up in real lava. (Which requires hard coding items again, as we can't determine whi...

Don't get confused. The Sea is My Life server uses the Voxelgarden subgame. And the subgame has the sapling to seedling thing.

Okay, I reverted it.

Some changes: Broken dirt recipe has been fixed by bell07. Fixed that papyrus only grows 1 node high on roots. Changed crushing furnace appearance and called it Grinder. Create a chest at game start instead of giving stuff to players. Have lava cooling give you obsidian (molten rock in Voxelgarden),...

So without having any idea of why it does not work, help please ? You depend on default. But in default the mapgen nodes already get aliased to normal nodes. You would need to load your mod before default (don't know if there is a nice way to do this). Easiest would be to just edit the files in def...

Thanks. Of course I would add "MT" for previously stated reasons ;) like AeonMT "Freeminer" actually wasn't that bad of a choice, because wikipedia: freeminer "Freeminer is an ancient title given to a coal or iron miners in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, who h...

I don't think that more development will help. The development of minetest is very active, just see the last commits . It does however seem to me that the organisation of the development is undirected. So people work on new fancy features (like the clouds api added today*) and miss out on improving ...

Wasn't there a stepheight setting once? For players I mean. Also is anybody aware of the maxlevel thing in tool definition? I mean, I looked into it, and it's horrible, and I don't think anybody is even aware it exists. Edit: Didn't we have pixel perfect display of items at some point? The pixels ar...

Other options would be to take a name out of a different area, which relates to cubes, digging, mining, building, voxels, survival, etc. Like animal names (Mule), real people ( Alexander Selkirk , cool guy btw. not like Robinson), mythology (pick one of the stories that tells from the first human, w...

m( (That's a facepalm) My mistake. I should have had the data licenced separate under the public domain. However, I'm not sure if one can licence translation strings anyway. Someone should research this. (Not me, I'm going to bed now.)

This version should be the newest still compatible with 0.4.15, as far as I tested.

Alternatively there are nightly builds for mac, then you could use the latest version.

(Just to have it complete I commented the same in the github issue.)

You can also pull the translations out of vortoj, no need to do the work twice.

http://screenshot.ru/upload/images/2017/04/29/screenshot_20170429_002949f14e9.png After playing around a bit, I am thinking about adding a adze as tool (see crafting) and a mattock (see wield). Both multitools to chop wood and dig dirt. The adze can also dig some stone. With the small stones you wo...
