No, you’re misinterpreting it. Setting CUSTOM_LOCALEDIR alone doesn’t work. But setting CUSTOM_LOCALEDIR and applying the patch does work. But only for 0.4.13 and the latest git version because the patch can’t be applied to 0.4.12.

Merged it then to master, thanks.

Sounds great! :)

Too bad subgames (including minetest_game) aren’t translated :( But it’s a first step in the right direction!

This is very exciting release with new features like beds, shelf, mushrooms, trapdoor, new slabs/stairs from wood/metals/straw, mese lights, minimap. Also present amazing snow biomes. I like them a lot!

Some screenshots:

This is a workaround: https://github.com/CasimirKaPazi/vortoj
It works only server side but is sufficient for most cases. (And uses only eleven lines of code \o/)

Yes, a lot of nice features showed up recently :-) It's less noticable when always working with latest git. New features show up much faster in that case. But that doesn't make them any less good :-)

Exactly: A workaround. Not a solution :)

The new 4138 build crashes when players connect to my server giving this error:

2015-09-16 17:45:31: ERROR[Server]: ServerEnvironment::addActiveObjectRaw(): object position outside maximum range
minetest: /build/minetest-U7YZ7n/minetest-201509160101/src/server.cpp:1865: void Server::SendMovePlayer(irr::u16): Assertion `player' failed.

TenPlus1, sorry for the inconvenience, the bug is fixed in 4139 builds and later. As a temporary workaround, set their coordinates in their player files to spawn (or any other location inside +-3000 in all directions). And next time they log out, they should again get back to spawn, so that when they log in after that, their coords aren't outside +- 3000.

That's gonna be a LOT of user files to check and change... o.O

Grep/sed is your friend.

People, the fixed build is out already, just update.

Trying to download this on my new windows pc but nothing will save. I tried on the official downloads page but it wouldn't save when I told it to. I tried six. Freaking. Times. What's the matter? At current I am running 8.1...

Right click on the direct download link -> "Destination/Target save as..." and select your Desktop in the new popup window.
If that still doesn't work, upload a screenshot or join the IRC for quick support.

Its nice to have snow biomes in my worlds, but it seems like the desserts are now gone.

I tested version 0.4.13 on map gen 6 with my favorite seed and the dessert near the spawn point was gone.

I restarted my computer. It works just fine. Now I'm playing minetest defense!

In fact there are still around, i have one on my world, well a few deserts :)

Yes deserts are still there. The new biome system for mgv6 (that adds snow biomes) moves the biomes around a little in relation to 'biome' and 'humidity' noises, also the scales of temperature and humidity variation are doubled.

Desserts weren't ever there. Deserts on the other hand... ;)

I think Mintest is just a clone of Minecraft that is free no matter how much you update Mintest it will always be just a free Minecraft clone because if you just put the right texture pack in and added some new features it can be nearly indistinguishable from Minecraft other than it doesn't require Java to run.

That's like saying all 3D games are clones of Doom, if you replace the graphics and changed some features.

Rendering methods isn't all that makes a game, it's also gameplay. You could update Minetest and make it into an FPS, in which case it wouldn't be a Minecraft clone.

It's important to define words, clone tends to mean an exact copy, undifferentiable.

This is not true, as Minetest is simply a sandbox game engine, it is not required to be like Minecraft, it just looks like it.
With your logic, you could say Minecraft is a clone of Pixel Guns 3D, Infiniminer, Ace of Spades, Dungeon Keeper, and Dwarf Fortress.

FTFY

I think I am having a similar issue to LazerRay in that I cannot find any deserts when using mapgen 7 in 0.4.12. Is this fixed as part of 0.4.13?

Also, I think that Minetest is better than Minecraft because it is written solely for people to have fun rather than to make money.

deserts are there in mapgen v7, they are just rare, like savannas.
also i think that deserts only appear in lower terrain areas, while snowy biomes and glaciers are more common in higher terrain (mountain) areas.
