Minetest Forums

What I don't like about APT repositories is that they're neither cross-platform nor cross-distribution. cornernote worked on a solution using Bower , which works cross-platform and cross-distribution, however it would need better integration with Minetest. Or perhaps we should fork an existing simpl...

In my opinion, this is only viable if mapgens get descriptions in the world creation dialog, and the singlenode mapgen creates a small (eg. 7x7) plane made of a solid node (such as wood) upon which the player can build on when used with minetest_game.

Voting yes, but please keep this in mind.

Try this:
The distance is in "blocks", ie. 16×16×16 nodes. The first one determines the simulation area of entities (default is 2), the latter determines the sending distance (default is 3).

When you install a graphics driver on Windows, you automatically have both OpenGL and Direct3D, regardless if it's Intel, AMD or NVIDIA.

There's a nice site which describes common open source licenses here.

Yes, it is possible to add mods after creating a world, however if they impact the map generation, it will only take effect in newly generated parts of the world.

Doing so would likely break all existing Minetest maps, not to mention it would make light computations more expensive.

Minetest is not really suited to a FPS right now, because of the lack of client-side scripting, there won't be prediction for bullets and other projectiles, which means players will have to lead their shots depending of their latency.

You can change keys in the Settings menu of Minetest.

Which fonts are you using on your desktop, especially for window titles?

registration is locked because of repeated attacks of banned players. it should be fixed soon. Is there actual work being done for xanadu or minetest that would prevent future attacks? Not much can be done, this is true of any online game. An unique, per-machine ID could be generated and sent to th...

Well, I'm mainly interested in how often they would update, so how long I'd be waiting for the latest server build. :) Last time I looked at Ubuntu, the latest server version was woefully out of date... (Minetest server) Any common distro, I can harden, no problem. :) You probably shouldn't use the...

So, How does -AMD A-Series A4 4000 2x 3.0 GHZ (Dual-Core) -4GB RAM sound? Old box was DOA, pretty much. Picked this one up cheap. Can probably add RAM, will have to peek inside once it arrives. Got 16 Gigs of DDR3 collecting dust anyways. The RAM should be enough, but that CPU is very weak, especia...

You could give Fedora Server a try, if you want recent software but still a relatively robust distribution. (Disclaimer: I've never actually used it, but I've heard good things about it.)

Essaie d'utiliser l'application TextEdit pour ouvrir le fichier minetest.conf, il s'agit d'un fichier texte tout simplement.

-cependant je ne parvient pas a trouvé le fichier Minetest.conf :/ saurais tu me dire ou le trouvé. Je ne sais pas où il se trouve sous OS X, essaie de lancer une recherche sur toue le disque pour "minetest.conf". -lorsque je crée le server, on me demande "graine" or j'ai cherch...

-est-il possible de créé dans un premier temps un server sans ouvrir les par feu. Le temps que je fasse les constructions du server? Oui, mais dans ce cas, seul toi-même ainsi que d'autres personnes sur ton réseau local (des gens chez toi, par exemple) pourront rejoindre le serveur, lorsque le port...

Normalement, à moins qu'il y ait une faille de sécurité dans Minetest (peu probable, mais ça peut arriver), non.

OK, thanks for the advise! So how much ram would i need? I want to run quite a few mods, such as mesecons, pipeworks, moreores, technic, moreblocks, animals_modpack, unified_inventory, etc. I would advise having at least 2 GB of RAM, 1 GB of RAM might be too few, even if you're running some lightwe...

Oui, il est possible de créer un serveur sous OS X, grâce à l'onglet "Server" du menu principal. Cependant, afin que des joueurs provenant d'Internet puissent se connecter, il te faudra sans doute : désactiver le pare-feu intégré à OS X (ou créer une exception pour le port 30000 en UDP, ou...

For 10 players, a Pentium D might struggle quite a bit, even if you're got 2 GB of RAM or more. I suggest you try with that setup, and if it's too slow, try using dedicated_server_step = 0.2 in minetest.conf (it halves the tick rate, from 10 TPS to 5 TPS). Don't forget about network bandwidth too (i...

Then it should be configurable, I don't personally like vignettes much and I don't think any "competitive" player does.

What about a portable Version for Linux? Can it be possible to have a version that is running on my OpenSuse and a Debian-Version, too!? There is a fully portable version of 0.4.13(https://portablelinuxgames.org/game/minetest), I hope someone bothers to make an 0.4.14 version soon enough with same ...
