More than 'simple text' - the wiki-mod supports links to other pages within that wiki.lisacvuk wrote:Those aren't webpages; they are simple text files.There is a wiki-mod, that allows ingame webpages (kind of - it supports only text).
So let's call it at least hypertext.
If you need more - just make a regular website, and post a link on a sign.
Then users can simply copy&paste that link into their webbrowser.

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
How about a dynamic mini map similar to this minecraft mod
best part about that mod is:
[*]The areas you explore are saved and can be viewed by scrolling or zooming the map, even when you are in a completely different part of the world.
[*]Full screen map GUI. Set waypoints by right clicking, pan map by click dragging, zoom with the mouse wheel.

Not sure about that. CSM can know where is which node, right? Just assign a color to every node, then display highest known node as a pixel.

Use small images instead of pixels.

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
That's not the problem, the problem is performance. Every pixel (small image) will be its own formspec element or HUD element and be super bloated memory-wise, and be expensive to render as well since each pixel is rendered as a separate image. At 256x256, that's already 60k draw calls, and if the map is expandable like in the MC mod, that will be over a million draw calls.lisacvuk wrote:Use small images instead of pixels.
EDIT: In the case of formspecs this is ignoring the processing time required to parse the formspec.

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
Speaking of performance, is Minetest limited within itself? I run a rig with 20gigs and have read there's a 1gig luajit limit? I don't know a lot about how things are done on computers these days, but I remember a time when we could manually allocate memory. I'd love to throttle the game with serious memory... but can't.

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
LuaJIT has a memory limit, I don't remember what it was though. If you use ordinary Lua then I don't think there is a Lua-defined limit.christoferlevich wrote:Speaking of performance, is Minetest limited within itself?

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
This is an old post, but I was actually thinking of requesting something similar :DLone_Wolf wrote:Could I have a CSM that shows how many nodes/punches a tool has left (Shown in description and/or/not in the name?
For example: Diamond sword [7] (About to break)
Maybe support for stu's 3d_armor mod also? Showing how many hits it has left before breaking?
I'd love a tool HP alert CSM, which sends a red colored chat message (and possibly a ding?) when a tool is at a certain wear level (about to break). I'm not sure if it's possible to get how many nodes the tool could remove before breaking (because as far as I'm aware, the longer the removal time, the more damage is sustained to the tool) but all I want is something to tell me not to break another stupid lava pick.
I hear that there was some issues with this not being supported by the API, however this shouldn't been an issue because it has been done before, this is the code which grabs the tool name and the percentage worn (from the inspection mod's source):
Code: Select all
minetest.display_chat_message("You are holding a " .. stack:get_name() .. " which is " .. tostring(math.floor((stack:get_wear()/65535) * 100)) .. "% worn.")

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
I got a CSM idea... in-game input method editor (IME) to write any IME-based languages in windows build where IME is not supported... basically converts these ASCII input from normal keyboard into non-ASCII texts in-game... this CSM would at least be useful until the day the official windows build would finally support IME and ends these frustrations, but the future of IME in Minetest seems to be dark...
the engine itself do support foreign languages, some platform (eg. Android port) could use their IME just fine and most of the mods could interact with foreign languages too (some player wrote Japanese text on wooden sign on servers -- Japanese is IME-based) I was hoping someone could get some kind of CSM to help players write IME-based languages without using IME... (or just accept my request to make windows build that actually supports IME)
notice the japanese text appeared upon hovering the wooden sign...
(it says "この中から一台だけ取って下さい" / "kono naka kara ichidai dake totte kudasai" - please only take one (cart) from this (chest))
or you can just go to the server (IFS - IhrFussel's Server) and go to HiroCity (just write the city name in chat, you'll be teleported there) and read the sign yourself...

Re: Client mod requests / ideas
You know those times when there's someone on the server when you join that will harrass/kill you? It would be nice to have a CSM that would disallow logging into a server if said person is online. And maybe even kick you off if he joins while you're there?
