Minetest Forums

For me, NPCs are a crucial and invigorating element to keep Minetest interesting for new players in the years to come. I consider them as very important as well. That's why I've wanted to write this mod for quite some time. NPC standing around can give life to a world, can explain what a building i...

Could you make an tutorial of how to add this mod functionalities to an NPC from an NPC mod? In general that's what the npc_talk mod is for. It comes with an NPC that doesn't need any other mods, an NPC based on mobs_redo, an NPC based on mobs_npc (those are based on mobs_redo), a sign you can talk...

The canoe looks very nice! It's jsut a bit long. I wonder if it works on MT's ousually not very large lakes and oceans.

I've tried that mod before. I'm not into its style of spawning a box with super detailed textures and no floors. I preferred instabuild's method of structures made out of actual nodes. Are there any other mods that did what instabuild did? My handle_schematics mod and in particular citybuilder do t...

Admittedly a bit late, but: Very nice looking mod. I wonder how a world with the mods of SFENCE will look like. Perhaps a server might adopt them and make them available for builders?

Did anything came out of this? yl_speak_up for talking to NPC has now been released.

I could take the Graffiti Mod and tweak it to only allow carving on desert stone. Is that what you're looking for? That's the idea. Just let players add those decorations to their own deserts where they want in addition to the automaticly generated. Perhaps with some lerarning curve involved (first...

There's also the stations mod from NathanS which also comes with a loom and a similar interface.

I made some item art for fabric with colors from the dyes in the default game. To be honest, I am not really a modder at all, only found out about Minetest a couple days ago, and only like making art... so I thought I could post it here for someone to use in their Mod. The art is free and I am tota...

This mod here provides actual NPC for the mod yl_speak_up . It does not come with any skins or models. You have to get those from other mods (i.e. player_api or other sources like skinsdb). The NPC added by this mod are more like examples of how you can do it. You may not want so many diffrent types...

This mod offers a way to talk with NPC by reading what they have to say and selecting given answers like in point&click adventures: npc_talk_start.jpg The mod consists of two parts: A runtime environment that reads and displays dialogs stored in .json files (this mod) - and an editor (mod name: ...

The problem in my case is detecting and applying changes to any script without restarting the server: The detecting part is the job of your mod. Only that can know what's been changed. The applying part...in general it may only be possible to reload code in the environment of your own mod, not in o...

Nice idea. Looks very good!

Perhaps - as we kind of start as stoneage people when joining a server - players could learn to create petroglyphs themshelves? Might take some time to learn how to do each one right.

As far as hot reloading mods goes, my upcomming yl_speak_up mod (talking to NPC) does support that to a huge degree and even has a chat command so that someone with sufficent privs can reload the mod without having to restart the server. But: There are limitations. Code (functions) in general can be...

Looks nice! Hope to see those rock piles on servers soon.

The blimp is definitely a great fun. It's very impressive what's possible now. Wouldn't have thought some years ago that we might actually be able to move around while travelling with the blimp.

In other words, if I place a large schematic at the maxp border (any axis), is there a size that I can consider "safe"? It's not only the size that matters...it matters also *which* types of blocks you place. Some (like dirt) may be changed when the mapblock your schematic extended into i...

get_content_id Seems to be the same error that also caught at least my moresnow mod and probably others. In the past, minetest.get_content_id(some_node) returned nil if some_node wasn't defined. Some mods relied on this behaviour. Sadly it was changed so that the game now deliberately crashes when ...

And then at the end, only bad people might be searched, or bad people might search others that disturbs their bad business. I remember reading a story on BoldCoder's site in which he describes how he found somebody's location with just his name and IPv4 address Seems Festus1965' list was not comple...

@Horka wanted a server that only allowed team members, and it would be much easier to do things if he were the admin. It's almost trivial to start a server in MT. But it's sadly a lot of work and requires a lot of experience to run and maintain a good server. Having your own may allow more freedom ...

Building is always good and a lot of fun. I think you don't need your own server. There are so many good servers out there with more than enough room for new builds - even very big ones! That is, as long as you don't want to use WorldEdit. That's usually a problem on public servers. But WE usually i...

Carts or mobs or anything arriving at a destination without the blocks inbetween loaded is tricky. Yes, techage has forceload blocks and seems to have its own cart system which might work. I'd recommend AdvTrains in this context. It works nicely without the world inbetween having to be loaded. And i...

Hi, I have been messing around with villages and have been trying to make a nice way of structuring the foundations. I've come up with a kind of top structure. Doesn't really have much to do with MineClone2. It's a problem all village mods (or structure spawning mods) have to a degree. The radius o...

It'd help a lot if entities could tell the server (and thus the client) how far they want to move and where they want to stop. AFAIK that's still not implemented? Recently, the seagulls from water_life on the Your Land server improved considerably. From rather...odd...behaviour (hovering in a corner...

Great! I think both mods will work very well together.
