I guess that:
"sooner = better".

0.4.16 has already released. Forget it. Now we must discuss about future version 0.4.17 and what will be plans for it. That`s why i posted this topic to discuss adding of new features, may be blocks, items, changes, fixes and etc...

Many users do this kind of threads and at the end the developers not even notice it. It's really up to the developers what it's going to be in Minetest and what not.

Buut... No only they can decide what to add. Although they do it for themselves and for players. It means players have a part of this, too!

I think we should optimized the engine to render and generate map faster. For example, I read some where that minetest render each block even if the block is 1 big block. I not programmer, but I read somewhere that lua is some what bottleneck?

I thought the next version after 0.4.16 was going to be 0.5.0?

Lua is good for registering nodes, items, and tools, and their functions too; the problem comes at coding mapgen, because Lua can't handle this without lagging. Mapgen done with C++ works harder, better, faster, and compared to Lua mapgen somehow stronger.
But adding certain optimizations to mapgen is something that would definitively would be a good option.

as said there is no feature for 0.4.17, if there was 0.4.17 there will be bugfix only. 0.5.0 is the next release

Really 0.5.0 ?!! Will it be global update? It`s very interesting!
People, say, what was the MOST first version of Minetest? 0.3.0?

Here is a link with the sources of the most old Minetest versions:
http://packages.8dromeda.net/minetest/m ... s_2010.zip
The first version of Minetest wasn't "0.3.0", it was an even older one.

Here's a link with MS Windows binaries (mostly x32):

Shadows and ... shadows of course .... and only after all ... ah Shadows.

The shadows have already been on Minetest Game.

New suggestion: i would like the water source flows more faster. It`s veeeery sluggish!

Where did you see shadows ?
May be I miss something. But that shadows what I saw are seemed like a funny fake )

Don't let the Vorlons see it!

The water is too lazy to move faster, and the developers are loo lazy to make it move faster :-)

Good idea, though.

[TumeniNodes]

go into the default nodes.lua and change the "length" till you get the speed you like (the lower the number, the faster the animation..., higher number slows it down.)

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("default:water_source", {
	description = "Water Source",
	drawtype = "liquid",
	tiles = {
		{
			name = "default_water_source_animated.png",
			animation = {
				type = "vertical_frames",
				aspect_w = 16,
				aspect_h = 16,
				length = 2.0,

It would be cool if the frame rate could be defined/altered from within the texture pack itself, with a quick little config file

Quick fix: in Conf file change liquid time.

The options above are not interesting for me the only thing I Want is a propper subgame game!

And a good mob api!
