The same "issue" in petz, now a semitransparency.

I had some transparency issues with blocks too in 5.4.

At least earlier 5.4 builds, any texture with transparency throws a warning:

Code: Select all

WARNING[Main]: Texture "something.png" of mod:something has transparent pixels, assuming use_texture_alpha = true.
Where "true" = blend or clip depending on drawtype. Also, the Boolean is deprecated already, so it is a funny warning. It seems it might be that in a node definition the use_texture_alpha = (type) may need to be explicitly set, or you may have an unexpected result.

I think I found a bug with the entity nametag:
This is a new future called "Semi-transparent background for nametags" by Zughy.

There will probably be a nametag attribute to customise the background color in the future. If you have any complaints about this, please open an issue or post them here and I will

The changelog contains a section for deprecations with instructions on how to fix them. This warning only appears for nodebox and mesh nodes which have transparent textures but no use_texture_alpha property

Oh it is a feature :) Maybe it is only me and runs, but that really looked not very convincing having
a sudden semicolored box around your mob nametag.
I'am ok with customisation, but could default be transparent as it is now ?

Yes, it is not cool. Precisely because of the problem that there is no method (yet) to hide distant player nametags (not only mobs). And on top of that now it will be more visible, please an attribute to make the background transparent.

I love the nametag concept, but not the always visible Minetest ones.

It is written in the milestone on the github what the release will take place due by 13th February. In your first post on 6th February that is already over, please update the date not to mislead.

I am working on pt-BR translations, and hope it is finished now. I did some adjustments of what it was missing/required attention.

I could not find a way to translate MTG. It seems "locked" in the translation site (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/minetest/mtg_i18n/)

@ronoaldo: The MTG translation on hosted.weblate.org is outdated and should not be used. It should have been deleted years ago, but that did not happen so far.
Read this section specifically:
https://dev.minetest.net/Translating#Tr ... _and_games

Basically, the only way translate MTG is by downloading MTG and manually dealing with all the files in the "locale" directories, as described in the link above. There is no fancy tool or website for that, sorry.

Can you update the release date of 5.4.0 in the topic?It is misleading now.

Oh, my mistake! I was pointed out twice to the docs but missed the portion that explains about mods and games. Thanks!

if you change this line https://github.com/minetest/minetest_ga ... pi.lua#L85 to something like
player:set_animation(anim, speed or model.animation_speed, 1 or animation_blend)

you can get this result

The very same file states on the top that values other than 0 do not work due to some Irrlicht bug. I'm not familiar with this either, but if you think it could be solved in Minetest, please open a new issue.

Huh, blending works for me.

There was a time around 0.4 when it did behave oddly but I recently enabled it again and it works, I thought you guys fixed something.
Note that I do my best to keep my model scenes clean and free of any odd transformations. Blender plugins can be lazy and mess up your exported scene.

Too bad the commits/PRs are not linked.

What does “Load media from subfolders” mean? Can we use subfolders for sounds and textures in mods now instead of just ./sounds, ./textures, etc.?

You can place subfolders in any media path to organise media, and minetest will load from them. A media path is a mod's media folder (textures/models/sounds) or a texture pack. I believe the root of the texture pack takes priority, meaning that you can safely still put variants in subfolders

For one level deep this already works for texture packs …

But now I can have ./mods/my_cool_mod/textures/cool_things/of_type_a/my_cool_mod_foobar.png and then use my_cool_mod_foobar.png to use the texture file?

And organize my texture pack files like this and have it “overwrite” the mod’s defined texture? ./textures/my_cool_pack/mods/my_cool_mod/my_cool_mod_foobar.png

That would be pretty much awesome.
