The license Gambit released this under disallows modification. I think this is fine as long as you didn't actually edit any of his original textures, but you should probably ask him.

I had my arduino blink lights corresponding to actions in Minetest by just using Lua's normal file access functions to write data to the serial interface. Interfaces can be written to and read from like any other file.

Make a folder in your mods folder, and in there paste the code into a file named "init.lua".

my view on this is that wuzzy is asking everyone to change all tneir recipes and adms and nodes that use the word block. i am sorry but i don't see any use to this change. It's just a few description fields, and it will be more consistent. ps. i typed this with the 3ds. so cool. Sorry, don't care.

I agree that having the word "block" in node descriptions can be confusing. I think the best solution would be to just change that to "cube". A "block" is and always has been a 16x16 area of nodes. A "node" is anything that has a fixed place in the world. An "entity" is any item that doesn't have a ...

If you've tried my windows build and experienced a crash, please re-download and try again (same link). I just rebuilt it slightly differently. It seems to run fine on Windows 7 now.

I would assume it does. What would prevent using high-res skins? Texture packs can basically be any resolution that's a square, don't know why player skins would be different. You can look at a skin by starting a game from the "server" tab, then starting another game and connecting to "127.0.0.1" (t...

Menche's Public minetest-classic:next Server (now have win32 build)
Information This is a public freebuild server running the minetest-classic "next" branch. You will not be able to connect with a 0.4 client, as minetest-classic is based off of minetest 0.3. I recommend you build the minetest-classic:next client using the source from here . I have made a Windows 32...

See this code from node_ownership. Basically what it does is back up the built-in node_dig, item_place, and node_punch functions, then override them. The permission check is done in the overridden function, and the original function is called only if a player is allowed to dig.

If you can get a .bmp image of the top-down one, there's a mod that can convert it into a 2d minetest map. It would take either manual building or changes to the mod to get structures/trees/terrain, though.

Custom skins aren't supported by default; a mod is required to use them. If you want to use a particular skin on a server which has that mod, you have to send it to the administrator of that server.

Everything in the newest version will work in an older world. The only time where you'd need a new world is if something new was added the the map generator.

Why do we even have pure diamond tools? That makes no sense. I think it would be better if any tool could be encrusted with diamond to grant a digging speed boost. What's Mese?

Mese has always been the rare, powerful "trophy" mineral. There is such a thing as too many ores, and not all ores have to be craftable into a full tool set anyway.

I haven't seen that, probably because I compile only the server on my debian machine. Maybe a library is missing? There's a list of packages required to build here.
I'm guessing that it's libgl1-mesa-dev that is missing.
