About the new release (0.2.20110922)

by celeron55 » Post

Yesterday Minetest-c55 0.2.20110922 was released - a bit hastily, but anyway.

What I'd like to hear from you is how well it is working on Windows, Linux, or whatever you are using.

In addition to everything, this is due to the fact that it now uses SQLite for bulk world data storage.

Because the Windows version was built using MinGW this time instead of MSVC8 as it was before, I want to hear answers to these things regarding the Windows version (0.2.20110922_1.1):
- What version of Windows you are using?
- Does minetest work in the first place?
- Does it perform worse, better or similarly compared to 20110731?
- Does it crash?
- If you are able to compile it on your own, how does the distributed binary perform compared to that, and what is your compiler?
- Also, any other notes regarding to anything.

I do not want to hear:
- Feature requests and suggestions

Tested on: Win 7, Win 8 and Vista ¬_¬

- Does minetest work in the first place?
Yes

- Does it perform worse, better or similarly compared to 20110731?
On Win7 & Vista similar but much better on Win8, However I have noticed CPU usage is slightly higher than previous release.

- Does it crash?
Nope ^_^

- If you are able to compile it on your own, how does the distributed binary perform compared to that, and what is your compiler?
I use MSVC2010 which works good, seems to run slightly faster but that could be because I disabled gettext if that would make any difference.

Windows xp sp3

- Does minetest work in the first place?

yes

- Does it perform worse, better or similarly compared to 20110731?

worse (in the "video_driver =" line is not possible set the video mode to direct3d8 or direct3d9, it crashes immediately. The other values work, but run too slow)

- Does it crash?

Yes (it randomly crashes in local server mode -minetest never crashed online-)

- If you are able to compile it on your own, how does the distributed binary perform compared to that, and what is your compiler?

i didnt try to compile it (yet)

a common problem when im playing in opengl mode is that some blocks are rendered wrong -only- in the inventory menu: the wooden plank the looks like a glass cube or the lava cube looks like a blue cube and so. (This also happened in previous versions)

side note: I never was able to play before in "server mode" with Previous versions, but with this version I can do it, but it crashes

my pc: notebook lenovo 1.60ghz 1gb ram
945 express chipset family

-Windows 7 64bit
-Yes, it works
-Client error on startup "DIRECT3D9 Driver was not compiled into this dll. Try another one."
Runs fine when I take "video_driver = direct3d9" out of my config file. I'm running a server instance on one hard drive and a client instance on another hard drive.
-The game does not crash.
-I have not tried to compile it.

Other Notes:
I've noticed that there seems to be quite a bit of disk thrashing taking place. Is there some sort of conversion process taking place? I'm new to the site and the game, so I'm not terribly familiar with how everything works in the background. Is the SQLite DB going to be replacing the Sectors2 folder, and if so, is there any way to just do a one-time full conversion/import? (Not a feature request, just asking if this is present in the system).

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working. However, celeron55, you need to update the site to include "libsqlite3-dev" in the list of dependencies for Linux.

EDIT #2: "/usr/lib/libz.so" not found, error, cannot compile.

How about installing zlib1g-dev or similar?

- What operating system you are using?
ArchLinux x86_64

- Does minetest work in the first place?
Hell yeah.

- Does it perform worse, better or similarly compared to 20110731?
Didn't change.

- Does it crash?
No but it freezes sometimes my computer and half of the times, I have to reboot by reset.
(It's the only game which do that.)

- If you are able to compile it on your own, how does the distributed binary perform compared to that, and what is your compiler?
Always compiling myself with gcc/g++.

Not here for a while due to some troubles between my graphic card and Minetest.

I did... Still "no rule for making libz.so". I'm now using the .deb package (20110922), and the game works fine.

Ubuntu 11.04

Like a Boss.

Just as beastly as ever.
- Does it crash?
No.

I only compiled it. My compiler is g++.
- Also, any other notes regarding to anything.
I think you're doing a good job. Keep up the good work.

Same operating system used as my pre-poster (Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity).
Just, I installed the compiled version through the repository and it works perfectly well with my existing world. Even the previously mentioned issue with the furnace never accepting any fuel (this was a self-compiled version) is fixed now.

- What operating system you are using?
Arch Linux 32bit

- Does minetest work in the first place?
It works nearly perfect. Sometimes the bug comes up - that you can look thousands of blocks far away, that's the best moment to make good looking screenshots. The bug was in every release, I know. It's a good bug in my eyes. I wouldn't like to miss it (only, if that effect could be turned on/off via - let's say a keypress). If you don't know the effect, just have a look on my screenshots at http://saschakb.tumblr.com


- Does it perform worse, better or similarly compared to 20110731?
It works very much faster. From 5 fps raised it raised up to 20 fps on my netbook (Atom 720).

- Does it crash?
No, it doesn't crash. But a old world corrupted. The conversion to a sql-database killed it. Well, I have a new one ;)
Under very rare circumstances, the client doesn't react (when lava suddenly comes up, whatever). Closing the client and restarting it handles that problem.


- If you are able to compile it on your own, how does the distributed binary perform compared to that, and what is your compiler?
I always compile it on myself. So far it works only with g++
With clang++ I didn't get a working compilation run.

Can anyone give me the link to get this? And do I have to uninstall my last install to get this? I'm hoping it'll cure the FPS issue. Thanks!
