Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I only did the changelog for the Minetest engine, the Minetest game is not included in the changelog yet. Just as a note.
As a summary:
Snow biomes with pine trees
Arcadia trees
Mushrooms and spores
Fire improvements

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I though that there were TNT improvements too...it doesnt seem to spread as easily as it did before....
I noticed that Tree, Grass, Dirt, and Snow all have bumpmaps now! :-P
There is a brighter grass texture now to. Dry Grass, Beds, and Meselamps have all been aded to default.
Ores have new and updated textures, as well as Jungle Trees.
Oh, and its now Minetest, not minetest_game.
...and who could forget the new Minimap and Cinimatic mode!
This is awesome, thanks to all the MT devs!

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I am playing a game on 0.4.12 and was wondering how i can bring it to 0.4.13 to play.
Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I'm back on Minetest. Minetest is better than Minecraft. Minecraft had never crashed before on Windows 10 while Minetest works perfectly. Minecraft became a crap.
But not now for a private server and I prefer to wait a little more for this. I want to try this version in solo but in multiplayer not for the moment.
Minetest can now beat Minecraft with this big update. ^^

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Many important changes have been made on minetest_game between 0.4.12 and 0.4.13. They don't appear in the Changelog.
Just realize how bored we would be if the world was perfect.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Ah, thanks for this list. I saw only the Minetest.net changelog and was led to believe we focused on bug fixes this time around. I'm glad to see the core subgame get a proper name.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
If your on Windows, you can just copy your world folder into the new MT worlds folder, same with mods.
Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Ok,thanks :) Is there any stable weather mod ?

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I don't use one myself, the snow mod worked pretty good before snow bioms were in default.
Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I would like to see weather by default built-in game.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Having weather would be nice, probably as part of the Lua API and mapgen, so as not to slow things down to much.
Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I'll suggest that.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Yeah the new biomes really do look great. I notice some good texture changes as well. As much as I love to see what changes and improvements the engine gets. It's nice to see the basic game get a little love.Gael de Sailly wrote:Many important changes have been made on minetest_game between 0.4.12 and 0.4.13. They don't appear in the Changelog.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I thought we have agreed to rename it to “Minetest Game”, but sadly, nothing has been done to actually rename the subgame. :-(Oh, and its now Minetest, not minetest_game.
Since the changelog has not shown the changes for Minetest Game, I post a few of its updates here.
Check out the wiki, I have updated most of the block pages for 0.4.13, but not everything's perfect. A lot of images are still missing, however, because I have no idea how to create those block images for the wiki.
New blocks:
- Acacia Tree (+ leaves, +sapling) (savannah biome)
- Dirt with Dry Grass (savannah biome)
- Dry Grass (savannah biome)
- Red Mushroom (+ spores)
- Brown Mushroom (+ spores)
- Simple Bed
- Fancy Bed
- Vessels Shelf
- Mese Lamp
- New stairs and slabs
- River Water (I don't know if it is generated anywhere, I haven't seen it yet)

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I wouldn't go that far, but it does make minetest an even better alternative! :DLizzy wrote:I'm back on Minetest. Minetest is better than Minecraft. Minecraft had never crashed before on Windows 10 while Minetest works perfectly. Minecraft became a crap.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
River water is for future mapgens, and can be used by mods. It is non-renewable to hold it's shape on river slopes.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I have now also added the new biomes into the wiki:
http://wiki.minetest.net/Biomes#Biome_types
New biomes are coniferous forests, snowy lands, glaciers and savannahs.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Biomes 0.4.13
Mgv6
Mgv6 now has snow biomes (taiga and tundra) enabled by default when you start a new world. Jungles are larger, and biomes are moved around to their correct locations determined by mgv6 'biome' (heat) and 'humidity' noises. The classic biome system locates biomes in a way that does not make complete sense if 'biome' noise is considered to be heat.
To disable this new 5-biome system and use the classic biome system add ..
.. to minetest.conf when you start a new world.
Existing worlds that use the classic biome system will continue to use it because the 'mg_flags' for the world does not contain the 'snowbiomes' flag.
The new 5-biome system first uses 'biome' (heat) noise to divide the world into cold, temperate and hot areas.
Then, 'humidity' noise divides hot areas into desert and jungle, and divides cold areas into tundra (dry) and taiga.
Arranged vertically from cold to hot, and horizontally from dry to wet:
Desert ... Jungle
'Normal' (randomly divided into grassland and deciduous forest)
Tundra ... Taiga
Mgv5
Mgv7
Fractal (future mapgen)
For 0.4.13 a full biome system has been added using the biome API. The biome system is independant of the base terrain mapgen chosen and will be usable with future mapgens also, it cannot be used with mgv6 which has it's own hardcoded biome systems.
'Heat' and 'humidity' noises are used to locate 10 biomes, a new biome blend method is used that has it's own noises ('heat blend' and 'humidity blend') so can be customised or disabled by editing the noise parameters.
Arranged vertically from cold to hot, and horizontally from dry to wet:
Desert ... Savanna ... Rainforest
Sandstone grassland .. Deciduous forest
Stone grassland ... Coniferous forest
Tundra ... Taiga
Glacier
Sandstone and desert stone contain no ores and extend down to y = -112, below this there is the 'underground' biome which uses 'default:stone' throughout the world.

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
Sadly the new bioms are only in mapgen v7...
So most servers and worlds can't see them. ;-(

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
0.4.13 is random crashing a lot more than usual which is interfering with server play as inventory items and chest items are disappearing after crash, no specific error messages apart from segfaults... Any ideas devs ?

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
I couldn't try it yet but I saw something about UTF-8 support in the changelog
Does that mean that we can finally type umlauts and other special characters in the chat and will we have an actually working (gettext based) translation feature for all strings (core and mods) in the foreseeable future?

Re: Minetest 0.4.13
@Linuxdirk: There has been a bug on linux where you couldn't enter umlauts etc. into the "t" console, or other text input fields (except the f10 console). This bug, which is an irrlicht pre-1.9 bug, has been fixed in minetest 0.4.13, by using a patched version of the text entry on irrlicht < 1.9. Its already fixed by irrlicht 1.9, so there we use the normal text entry again. Very unfortunate that irrlicht devs don't like to release very often.
There were also some UTF-8 changes, yes, but most of them should be "hidden".
The modding community has already provided translation functionality for mods (take a look at intllib). Nothing has changed however regarding the feature to translate to different languages the same time, e.g. allow clients with different languages to play on the same server.
One translation aspect has changed for the core, we now have a weblate (again) to make translating easier for non-technical users.
