Shame, I was looking through the minetest files and noticed quite a few .lua files for the game front-end itself... *hopeful*hoodedice wrote:That would probably be a core engine change, not a modding side changeTenPlus1 wrote:Would it be possible to add different mgflags to the New World form so you can tick/untick jungles, caves, flat, nolight etc. within the actual game itself... ?

I still wonder why you keep that game so "underground". Release it formally, have a party, man! I'd played it and I've liked it.PilzAdam wrote:Havent you seen screenshots of Nodetopia yet? viewtopic.php?pid=124740#p124740paramat wrote:I seem to remember BlockMen is the only other modder other than me to do this.

No, currently not.

Thanks for adding my wieldhand :)
Hmm...i will talk with sfan5 and nore about this but personally i wouldnt want it make with a texture (if changing at all).paramat wrote:A radical suggestion ... change the grass side texture to be completely grass, this was the first change i ever made to Minetest, lines of dirt along the sides of every grassy hill look so bad to me =/ I seem to remember BlockMen is the only other modder other than me to do this.

/me would prefer Casimir's grass, because dirt is still visible. Grass does not grow very well on vertical sides.

what are the main goals for this game? aside from taking the original minetest_game place.

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
I think it does more than improving the default game, it also changes most of the default textures. I don't think everyone like these changes.

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
Ups. That's a serious problem. That means that existing servers can't just switch over to minetest_next - the appearance of buildings would be changed. Of course players do sometimes use texture packs - but that's their choice then. They can't complain if a building doesn't look well with other textures than those installed by default on the server.Hybrid Dog wrote: I think it does more than improving the default game, it also changes most of the default textures. I don't think everyone like these changes.
Some of the new functions are very nice: /sethome is very important (even for singleplayer - I don't want to know how many starter houses have been lost due to players not finding back there after death!). Protected furnaces are also very good. Also jungle enabled by default.
But the textures are a problem. Please find a way to make minetest_next usable on existing servers. The imrpovements are worth it. Changing the textures on existing worlds is an absolute no-go. An option to choose which textures to use might do. Perhaps a small shell script that copies the old textures back - plus an extra mod, i.e. default2, that adds blocks with the new textures to the game. That would be the choice I'd love to see implemented.
The xpanes are also an improvement compared to the xpanes mod on Redcrabs server - those always had the problem of connecting glass panes to nodeboxes, like i.e. chairs, and that didn't look well. Unfortionately, the xpanes are not the solution I need for my buildings. Just place one of the nice new glass doors (not as nice as the homedecor ones but definitely a start) next to a wall consisting of the new glasspanes. See the problem? That's where I need glass panes. And also in buildings where the walls are made of half-wide blocks. Moving the glass pane to the border of the block is only half the solution.
The dark background when accessing a formspec is strange. Does it symbolize locked objects? If so, perhaps a lock or key symbol might help.
And please don't get me wrong on the textures. I like most of the new ones far more than the old ones. Some may be a huge improvement for cheap buildings out of cobble/stonebrick/wood. And the sandstonebrick texture is also very nice. The clay one less so. The wood texture is a definite improvement. Perhaps making it end at the block boundary would look even better. New worlds will look better with the new textures.

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
Blockmen, having completely grassy sides to grass nodes is probably unpopular with most players, and can be done easily with a texture change, so i really don't expect this to happen ;) In fact i would rather it was done simply with a texture instead of your complex (and impressive) abm method.
Concerning mapgen, hmmmm has developed some new parameters for MGV6 which apparently are a big improvement and he would like to see those used somewhere, i'll try to find those for you.

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
Hello!
My son is playing Minetest NeXt on a windows machine. He tried farming, and planted about 7 wheat seeds and waited for them to grow. He harvested when he thought they were done (they had turned yellow) but he only harvested 2 wheat and no new seeds.
I've never done any farming, but this doesn't sound like the expected rate of return. What is he doing wrong?
Thanks!

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
the wheat seed has 8 different sizes when growing.
you have to wait for the last "status" of the plant
here you can read more about the wheat, size and drop-probabilities
http://wiki.minetest.net/Wheat_%28plant%29
if the plant is fully grown up, you should get at least one seed and one wheat(item) per plant

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
That was it. He mistook the "almost grown" for the "fully grown" image. He is now harvesting with very nice returns.
Thank you!

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
He's not the first one to encounter that problem. It annoyed me a lot with the strawberries from farming_plus. Thus, I changed the image to the almost-grown one from red strawberries to more white/pinkish berries. This makes distinguishing them a lot easier.Kilarin wrote: That was it.

Re: [Game] Minetest NeXt [minetest_next]
His final method of determining when the wheat was ripe: one looked for one pixle on the bottom row. If it was missing, the wheat was in stage 7, if it was there, the wheat was in stage 8 and ripe.Sokomine wrote:He's not the first one to encounter that problem.
I think you've got an excellent point that making the final stage of a harvest crop more easily distinguishable might be a good change to make.

Sparklings when ready to harvest would be pretty cool too.
