Re: [mod]yolo[yolo] permadeath - hardcore mode.

For the singleplayer,would be cool if u die there that the world get delted. That doesn't make much sense. People who want to cheat that would just not run with this mod. People who want to follow their own hardcore rules would just delete the world themselves. This mod makes almost no sense for si...

From my experience, this is never less work than properly rebasing.

Re: [DEV] The horrifying "rebase needed"

The problem is that every rebase is a risk of destroying your repo. One mistake and all your work is destroyed. Just saying “just be more careful” is not good enough. We all can have a bad day. This is an education problem: as in, you need to learn how to not wipe your code and use the tools correc...

Re: [DEV] The horrifying "rebase needed"

Why does the submitter has to do the rebase in the first place? Can't this be fixed by those with merge rights? No, nobody knows the change better than the submitter. Asking reviewers to also rebase changes is a recipe for disaster - you'll get really nasty bugs. Rebases are nasty because people do...

Re: Reset world on live server

Perhaps `mtmapprune` can help. It is designed to remove blocks around a certain perimeter, but you could make that perimenter really small, and just maintain a spawn area and preserve that. It's about as efficient as you can make it. It does need to run offline (shut down the server first). https://...

Re: [mod]yolo[yolo] permadeath - hardcore mode.

I think you took YOLO too seriously. There were no `hardcore` mods in cdb, so, I thought a "simple" and understandable version would be useful to some. After all, there are a few servers that use similar methods... What do you think about changing "dead" into an UNIX timestamp? ...

Gee, sounds like you're going to run out of usernames fast. But quite an interesting idea. There's probably some use-cases that I can't think about.

- use texture-align = 'world' for most blocks like marble so that texturess for stairs, slabs and others all connect nicely - custom textures for the slabs and stairs, with bevels on the top side too I don't see the benefit for both of these, I think it'll make many stair/slab nodes look weird, and...

If there is a reasonable conclusion that migrating is needed or significantly beneficial to Minetest and outweighing the costs, then I'm 100% sure that the decision to move would be backed by all the developers.

Depends on what you like. I personally enjoy parkour a lot, but I think most of the parkour boxes are poor (just a bunch of blocks scattered on the wall, most of the box being empty). There are only a few interesting, nice-looking parkour boxes, like number 332. That's not the most interesting one,...
