Minetest Forums

The bigger constraint is storage limitations because the game stores everything, including the procedurally generated terrain, to disk once it has been traversed by a player instead of only saving the blocks that have been player (or entity) modified.

Per celeron55's list, I urgently would like to see someone implement the threading model for lua based mapgens. The current approach lags too much once you get more than a few people moving in different directions on games that use lua mapgen.

What permissions was he losing? yea that is a bug that will occur sometimes when you are using a randomly generated map, I have attempted to reduce the chance of that happening but the only real fix at the moment is to use one of the official hungry_games maps. Interact. Also I have at least one un...

Any error log or just a crash?

Nothing of interest in the log, just a crash.

EDIT: I tried removing everything but default, made a new world, and still get a hard crash after a few seconds. maybe something in the mod's mapgen?

Two issues using github version of Hungry Games and recent minetest version:
1. In a two player game, second player was losing all of his permissions every time he died
2. Sometime spawn is underground with no obvious way out (short of /teleport)

Just updated minetest to latest dev version and downloaded latest version of wasteland. Get hard crash a few seconds after world loads. Anyone else seeing this?

Would like to see "active posts" and "unanswered posts" links removed to reduce visual clutter (good design is as much about what you leave out). Fix search too (i didn't search today)

Thanks re stringio.

This is probably as good as it gets but you will have to point it at a levedb dll and i would have to add support because the API is different: https://code.google.com/p/leveldb-py/

Update: Added LevelDB support

I'm using minetest 0.4.9, carts 0.4. Finally, would it be possible to have carts start up a bit more slowly when they're created (equivalent to inertia). Its sometimes a bit tricky to create a cart then catch it as it moves out of range very quickly. All my rails are powered, but I found it was eve...

This is now a pull request on github (#1217).

If accepted, you will be able to use the keyboard settings gui to set your commands. No lua or minetest.conf editing required. But until it is accepted you will have to apply the patch and compile mt yourself to use it.

Great stuff Jordach. WIth a time limit and a scoring system this could be fun, especially as a multiplayer game.

Try the latest on my github repo (see here). It looks like north/south were reversed but not east/west, which I don't really understand. (Suspect there's another bug somewhere else)

paramat wrote:spillz, the cross section images facing north, south etc. work but have been reversed left to right, try comparing a cross section with an overhead view and you'll see.

I thought I had fixed those issues. But thanks, I will look into it.

New "keyboard shortcuts for chat commands" patch is attached. This update adds GUI and supports keyboard modifiers (CTRL/SHIFT). Still some quirks to be worked out.

Who moderator or admin on forum? I heed help? about spanchbob made at the request of his nephew. I should have posted. I want to uninstall it! Please help! The rights to the character don't belong to me. Accordingly, the license is not distributed. The request of the administrator, please remove mo...

Any chance you can put this up on github? Assume license is unchanged? Also, what about changing the name so that it will play nicely with other the other mobs mod?

So my one question is whether the scale of things is slightly too big. It takes a long time to walk between the various biomes. And the forest is impenetrable (but mostly in a good way). Would love to see some trails built into the game.

Great stuff! and good idea to make into a game. Would be nice to include some critters in it...

Do you really want continents or island fiefdoms? Think about the gaming implications?

Still, when running the script, I got hundreds of the following statement : Try pulling the latest version and testing again. I suspect it won't fix, but you never know... What OS are you using? What version of minetest was the map made with? Have you tried on a different world? Also, try using the...

Paramat: do you still have the grass generation issue if you use singlenode?

What's the problem?

EDIT: If using python3, try pulling the latest version from my github repo. (Left in a python2 print statement)

Okay i tried stability mod and got the same bugs as you: missing water surface with terrain behind. By looking down at the 16x16 areas of water animation i discovered the missing water surfaces are just over 64 nodes away from the player, as soon as you move within 64 nodes the surface appears, and...
