Trekking across the ice with sofar's torches lighting the way. https://imgoat.com/uploads/295c76acbf/65738.png Some players on my experiment server had built a library.

Protection mods - of which advanced area protection is one - protect player's buildings against unwanted modification, against griefing. It is not their purpose to keep players out of certain areas. Why would you want that anyway? Your items go into locked chests. Placed blocks are protected thanks...

Not without commenting out the various register_entity/register_crafts. Which is the issue I was addressing here.

I got your name right here, boys.


Or how about Minebest? heh

Sheep totem pole. If I had the motivation to make a gif, you would see that they are vibrating. I think I broke something.

*sofar's entity_ai for anyone curious

I continue to be amazed at how many educators there are around here.

This should require shout privilege.

So meta

But really a good place to stake out could be LibrePlanet. The focus is on nothing in particular, as long as it is FLOSS.

Thanks for the help rubenwardy. It would seem listname was referring to an empty list. The mod I'm tinkering on appears to store item stacks outside of the standard inventory convention so I've fallen back to using pairs() to iterate over the stacks and count them. What a mess.

I'm probably horribly misunderstanding things but this is the snippet I've been fighting: allow_metadata_inventory_put = function(pos, listname, index, stack, player) if listname=="offer" then local meta=minetest.get_meta(pos) local inv=meta:get_inventory() if inv:get_size("listname&q...

Just getting the count of stacks regardless of what they are or how many items they hold. The Invref page could really use some examples.

So get_list() returns an array? an integer?

Specifically dealing with node metadata, get_count() was close but I'm looking for the sum of itemstacks in a node, rather than the sum of items in a stack.

Can you post a picture? By the sound of it, you probably just have parallax occlusion enabled.

Why does setting player_transfer_distance = <anything other than 0> seem to have no effect?

Is there any functional difference between using .we and .mts formats?

I must have missed that polling. With the base game is so barren, it's almost hard not to grow fond of what little content was actually present. But the removal of an old meme will be better for MT in the long run.

Sadly, I think I discovered the size limitation at ~853MB before crashing out with a lua error. I guess I will have to save some mega builds in smaller chunks.

No fallback recipes for default? I guess I could always make my own... otherwise this mod is a pleasure to use! Just one caveat: Only the person who placed the elevator nodes should be able to set floor labels. And it doesn't seem that protection mods do anything to help that. Edit: My default fallb...

I have been contemplating to move this mod to minetest-mods in order to maintain it, since there seems to be still a demand and therefore use for it. Since Pilzadam has been missing for over a year, I don't think anyone would object to it getting some patches and moving github locations. +1 Since t...

Nyan/PB&J is about a larger phenomenon than just its merits as a feature. That is, anything implemented into any game as a result of social inertia. For example the lamp in Star Citizen which was shoehorned in after a development stream left the camera focused on a lamp with a note taped to it. ...

From a game design standpoint, being able to break down a car back into a carryable item encourages players to keep their cars in their pockets which, let's be honest, is a bit broken and a balancing issue. I think that once a vehicle is placed it should remain an entity. Also, now that the nifty sk...

Our approaches to replacing nodes simply have different goals in mind. Many of the worlds I have been converting are from old Minecraft servers (Beta 1.5-release1.3~) so they don't even have vines or quartz. It has truly been a joy revisiting these old worlds thanks to your work. https://imgoat.com/...

The most apt names I would derive just from reading the wiki https://wiki.minetest.net/Map_generator#Description :

v5 - "Strange"

v6 - "Simple"

v7 - "Immense"
