	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
I can fix it, but i don`t understand one: why developers can not bother for it if they are DEVELOPERS for this aim? As a result many users must issue the mods for it to improve it. I consider developers must make a initiative to improve the game as better as it`s really.

but this seems to be more specifically related to individual taste/preference..., if development were to bend to this, it would go nowhere..., and fast.
It is not a development issue, honestly... there are actually numerous means to change this particular matter for yourself... I do not see how it is or would be an actual issue or bug?

And thus should be a configurable option (either within advanced configuration or on a per-texture basis).

I agree. The sandbox game is good, but it does not show the range possible.

The parts are there to make a first person shooter. If we had a MinetestGrandTheftMarioCartDoom game, development on Minetest would stop for three months while we all piled in and played it. We need slopes and a bit of physics for race tracks, but apart from that we almost have all the parts. :)

Imagine driving through some of the cool cave mods while avoiding lava, tooling through villages and avoiding the minecarts crossing the road. On top of that, someone behind you is shooting at your tires and someone in front of you just released a grease spill.

Which I agree with but, there are only so many people, and so much they can do

In my opinion, it would be great if some who would like to see such options avail, with gui scales / buttons, etc...
get a small group together, and work on it together...
Once the group has a polished, workable code and graphics, etc... then, present it to the devs.

The is so much going on, all the time, and it is really not a large team.
I am sure devs would be quite glad to offer any advice or help they could here and there... but might be even more glad to see such a serious community contribution.

But, rather than a bunch of individual PR's, people might try to work together, to create one solid, piece of code and then submit it as a working feature.

What has a chance of being merged more? hundreds of individual PR's in the same category... or one large, impressive work, which is well tested and adds a significant amount of feature rich user option gui?

A really nice, well build options gui with nice looking sliders and buttons, which works well is something I think many would like to see...
But to actually manage to get a small team together of people interested in this, to work together on it, and test it to death..., would probably stand a better chance of seeing it become a reality.

The dev team seems to be down to a skeleton crew... so those with the ability, to submit numerous pr's, should be able to get together to work toward one, big, polished pr

This goes for a graphics settings gui, mobs api, etc.....

What I want for 0.4.17 is for me to work on the MT engine and content, and get my name in the credits xD

The small ones have a better chance because nobody will want to do a code review of a big PR.

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

Good idea, though.
This can be changed in the minetest.conf add this line

There shouldn't be any crashes. I haven't experienced any in normal playing. If it does crash, then it is a result of mods.

0.4.17 will pass. Wanting 0.5.0 next release instead that. In any case, some of developers declared me abput it long ago.

There isn't going to be anything in 0.4.17 apart from a few bug fixes. It's 0.5.0 you should be looking forward to

Hmm... i thought 0.4.17 won`t be released. Do you know when will this version be issued?

I don't know to be honest. Here you can see a bit of information about what has been done on 0.4.17 though: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/projects.
Have a nice day! :D

@azekill_DIABLO: People can release a working development model in advance, which is what 0.5-dev is. 0.4.17-dev can also be a development version out at the same time as 0.5-dev. Just the 0.4.17-dev will be more mature than the 0.5-dev version will be. Things do not always have to move linearly when developing, especially since the minetest team is diverse and works on a lot of different things at the same time.

Okay thanks for the explanation. But I still think it's a bit a waste of ressource because some people work on 4.17 and othe on 0.5-dev but at then end it will be one!

They will likely use the magical powers of git to move the parts of Minetest 0.4.17 into 0.5. There is a good reason that they are using the seemingly complicated platform they are. Its powerful and can easily manage versions of things, especially code. So don't worry about them wasting their time.

Hi there,
I think, whether it will be implemented in 0.4.17 or 0.5, mobs are a must for this game.
There are several mob mods that seem adequate, and with some fine tuning (maybe a hostile or all mobs switch?),
mobs can make Minetest more alive. For right now it just seems so static. Adding mobs or maybe even NPC's
(although that seems a little complicated for right now) wouldn't take much work, and they could be in a different folder
than default (which really needs to get split up). Maybe we could have a built-in API so creators could make
their own mobs with ease.

The least you would need to do is bundle some mod like mobs_redo with Minetest Game.
That's just my opinion.
Hi. I don't have any published mods yet.
