I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Re: WorldPainter support?
What does Minetest do if it encounters unknown node names in the map? Will it crash, ignore them, or display them as some standard block? Will it keep the unknown node, or will it remove it?

Re: WorldPainter support?
Also, I have the basic game running, but I'm trying to compile it myself because that would make it much easier to test my understanding of the source code. I'm having trouble though. I'm compiling it with MinGW, and it gets to the minetest object file stage, but it won't link with the precompiled b...

Re: WorldPainter support?
Questions, questions... The world_format.txt file describes a list of files which make up a map, in addition to the block database. Files such as auth.txt, env_meta.txt, ipban.txt, etc. What would be the absolute minimum I could get away with for generating these files? In other words, which could I...

Re: WorldPainter support?
And one more. :) Minetest has negative z (vertical) coordinates if I understand correctly, which Minecraft doesn't, so that would also be a challenge. Is the water level at z == 0? When does Minetest generate new map blocks? Is it in a sphere around the player? What is the default radius in which it...

Re: WorldPainter support?
Another question: I see that there are is a whole list of different versions of the serialization format. Could I get away with supporting only one version, for instance the latest one? Is there a current de facto standard version which most people are using? Or are people using wildly different ver...

Re: WorldPainter support?
Thanks for the extensive info, twoelk! It sounds like I would have to support Minetest mods in WorldPainter for it to have any practical use. Would you agree? Although I do understand there is a default subgame with the basic Minecraft-like blocks in it (the blocks I see if I just download and run M...

Re: Can't link minetest.exe on Windows
Are there precompiled libraries for MinGW?

Re: WorldPainter support?
Ah, interesting. That is something that is sorely missing in Minecraft's file format, but it does mean some significant changes for WorldPainter, as it is based on the assumption of a static block to id mapping. Nevertheless it seems doable, especially if I leave mod support for later.

Re: WorldPainter support?
Thanks guys, this is all very useful and exactly what I was looking for. I'll look into how feasible it would be to support Minetest. How do the available blocks compare between Minetest and Minecraft? Do the blocks have numerical ids similar to those of Minecraft? Is there a handy overview somewher...

Can't link minetest.exe on Windows
Hi everyone, I'm trying to build Minetest on my Windows system and am having trouble. I've gotten it to compile, but the very last step (linking minetest.exe) fails. I followed these instructions to build it (using MinGW), and downloaded the "MSVC pre-compiled libraries" from that page for...

Re: WorldPainter support?
Do I see it right that this mod is able to use images to generate maps, similar to this mod ? I'm not sure what that mod does, but I'll explain more fully what WorldPainter does: WorldPainter is not a mod, but a stand alone program, with which you generate maps for Minecraft. So instead of Minecraf...

WorldPainter support?
Hello everyone, I'm the author of WorldPainter, an interactive map generator for Minecraft. I've been asked a few times whether I could support Minetest as well, and decided I'd look into it. One thing I want to do is gauge the level of interest. Are many people interested in this? Also, are there a...
