the bug with the wielditems is still not fixed. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10862
and the UI and Formspecs does look - uhm diffrent - First too small and unreadable, and if i changing the gui Scale, that the Mainmenu gets readable, the Formspecs ingame exploding my screen, times too big. Not the formspec of the default sign: this is still small.

Here's an example of the blob ore type that's working for me.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_ore({
		ore_type       = "blob",
		ore            = "default:lava_source",
		wherein        = "default:stone",
		clust_scarcity = 16*16*16,
		clust_num_ores = 16,
		clust_size     = 40,
		height_min     = -31000,
		height_max     = 64,
		noise_threshhold = 0.8,
		noise_params = {offset=0, scale=1, spread={x=100, y=100, z=100}, seed=37, octaves=3, persist=0.70} 
})
I just couldn't get satisfying results out of the vein ore type. Although the dev wiki page on minetest.register.ore mentions this type is finicky. As well as resource intensive.

I can't say I'm particularly fond of the smaller font size in the main menu either. Think of the old people!

Edit.

I should also mention that minetest.generate_decoration greatly simplifies seeding the world. My plant generation files are half the size they were before. Great addition.

I think so far the most notable change is the start up;
my screen stays pretty calm till the game is loaded...even when preloading textures.

Before it would kinda go crazy till every thing finished loading,
it would scare me sometimes the way it would go black and forth black and forth so to speak.

Splitting up gui/formspec and hotbar scaling is also very cool. I like having seperate settings for each.

Please update http://dev.minetest.net/Changelog.
There is 0.4.11 not released...

Is the test only for windows, or get I the same version when I build it from github?
I have build a new version today and it says it is 0.4.11-dev!
Should it not bee 0.4.12-dev?

So it’s still broken in the same way as it is with 0.4.11 for me …
