Awesome! Welcome, time traveler. Let me just get my time traveling pants and let's go back to the future!

About those pesky blank fields, how did you compile Minetest and what font setting do you use in your minetest.conf file?

i did compile minetest with a compiler... no just kidding! It's a linux build with cmake, the font, well... it seems like the font is built in irrlicht or something like that. I appears when no font is valid :)

When you run minetest --version it outputs the compile options.

What happens when you configure a valid font?

Code: Select all

irr::gui::IGUIEditBox::setOverrideColor (irr::video::SColor(255,255,0,0))
i made this code sample, it should solve the problem, but, what a surprise... it doesn't work. My c++ syntax is more than horrible, could someone make this work? thank you!

Hey.

Never encountered that. Still too less information. What OS, if Linux: what theme and what WM/DE and distribution, does it happen with the latest dev version, does it happen with fresh profile?

Well, when I take a look at your screenshot, I can see that it is not the font that is the problem, but the places you write in. They should be light grey, not white. I don't know how to fix this in the engine, but you can look in the data file and edit fontlucida.png to have black letters. There always should be a font file. But how to fix the white backgrounds, I have no idea.

Just so you know, this is a bug caused in very old versions of Minetest when using Irrlicht 1.8 or later. Linking these Minetest versions to Irrlicht 1.7 instead should solve it.

Code: Select all

virtual void irr::gui::IGUIEditBox::setDrawBackground (false);
but it won't... can someone tell me what is wrong with it?
