Is someone planning a defense game/mod where players build a fortress to defend against (node-breaking) attacking monsters? Monsters come at night, with ascending difficulty every night. At day monsters die, and players rebuild.

Somewhat like Castle Story

This could be an interesting game mode for both singleplayer and multiplayer.

Edit:
It's actually in celeron55's roadmap

Defending against computer-controlled enemies

The map should be small and players are concentrated in one fortress to allow more active mobs.

Sounds like fun! Sounds like a great idea for a action/arcade example of the game.

I am working on it now. It will be a subgame (if I succeed)

[Danfun64]

I have two requests.

1. Traditional demo recording.
2. Something like the minecraft motion capture mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/ma ... cap-16-000) or source filmmaker.

Greetings,
Is it possible to make a mod for TNT to be used and exploded only below a certain ground level? The level could be adjusted as needed.

Thank you.

mod : TextOnNodesCore
description and spec:
Display texts on nodes.
The font used is user-dependent, so no font textures is required. (font_path or mono_font_path in minetest.conf) The user can assign a Chinese font so that Chinese can be displayed.
To display text, we need to add a label to a node.
Every label contains:
*name. Labels can be got by name, so the same node cannot contains two labels with the same name.
*face(top,bottom,front,back,left,right,east,south,west,north)
*align(left,center,right) and valign(top,middle,bottom)
*font size(unit:pixel)
*resize. When resize=1 and font size=16, exactly one Chinese character or two English alphabets can be displayed on a face of a node. When resize=0.5 and font size=16, exactly 4 Chinese character or 8 English alphabets can be displayed on a face of a node.
*location. Left and top is 0; right and bottom is 16.

What about movie mods, like Minecraft does? I want to be able to make videos set in How to Train Your Dragon/Frozen/Narnia/Lord of the Rings or that sort of thing, but there are no mods for that and I don't even know how to make a mod. I have no coding skills whatsoever. :(

(If someone can tell me how to use existing mods to create these worlds, that would be very much appreciated. I'm new here, so.... yeah.)

I have a great idea for a mod, guys: FALL and HIT SOUND! I feel so empty when hit the ground with damage and hear no sounds at all. That would be definitely a 10/10 mod.

I'm working on making movie making tools. I've doing a cinematic camera mode - smoothed rotation and movement.

+1 for Text on Nodes... this would be very handy...

I meant mods set in movies.

Your best chance would be to look at the subgames section. Generally, it doesn't seem like there's a huge demand for movie-setting mods in Minetest, but there are a few ones out there. In particular, look at Lord of the Test.

maybe you can convince them

I had an idea for a block that plays music, but instead of using discs to play music, you can put in any block and it will play a different song.

For example, if you put in some stone, it will play an "underground" themed song, and wood will play a "forest" themed song.
And of course nyan cats and rainbows will play the nyan cat song!

For other nodes which don't have music fitting to them, soundhelix could be used.

Would the song be random each time?

yes, it would

[sparky]

I may be able to supply music if you were to do that

You know, when you dig a sign the text is lost and you have to rewrite it? We could make a mod that preserves the text in the itemstack, when you place that sign again, it will be placed with the old text. You still can write over it. That however would require signs to be only stackable by one.

[Hybrid Dog]

You could also add something to the formspec of a sign where players can load their lost messages.

[TenPlus1]

Seems a lot of trouble for a sign when you can easily re-write it...

[12Me21]

you could just copy and paste the text...

Doesn't always work on Linux, Irrlicht doesn't always support it.

[LazerRay]

I have a couple mod ideas:

Pose-able statues of players (You will need their skin files for it to work)
A working stereo that lets you select and play music (You will need to add the music files to a folder for the mod)
