I don't like it to have e.g. books in default, but wool in an other mod! It's not logical.
I know ... this breaks mod compatibility. But I have also planned a MTG-Compatibility modpack or something like this...

But it also means that all mods that depend on anything in default will depend on all of default, which makes implementing another compatible subgame harder. Actually I think there is already too much stuff in minetest game default mod.

A complete new subgame doesn't have to be compatible with MTG / TNG.

If I split the default mod, I'll make a logical partition (e.g. building, decoration, ... OR something like nodes, items, apis, mapgen)
Then nodes would be ever named "nodes:" (e.g. "nodes:dirt") and items with "items:".

"Bad alloc" just means that the game asked for more memory and didn't get it. This can be, and frequently is, caused by mods. I've managed it myself several times (on 64-bit linux) when I did something in lua that used memory extravagantly. It would be a severe pain to troubleshoot if you didn't already have some idea what was causing the problem.

Questions:

• How do I access the difficulty settings?
• How can I increase the probability of generating ruins?
• What's the recipe for a hoe (the old recipe isn't working).

And a feature request: sheep should not be sheared if you punch them (that's what shears are for)

• 1) Now you can access this via. the GUI into the Main Menu (see Advanced Settings)
• 2) Now you can set this in the minetest.conf: ruin_probability = ... (default is 25; higher value, less ruins)
• 3) Recipes are fixed now (they are like the old)
• 4) Sorry, but no. I like it as it is. You can tear out wool from sheep without a tool, but then the sheep gets damaged. With shears you get more wool.

Thanks for reporting! :)

Thanks, testing this over the next week.

Is there a way to trigger the map to regenerate, but retain all the structures my users have built?

I don't think so... :-/

I am not familiar with the Farming mod you added, so I'm not sure what behavior to expect. What I do know is that this wheat I planted is taking a very long time to grow. How does this work? Do I have to do something other than planting and waiting for something to grow? Will it grow if I am logged out of the server with the server running? Do I have to physically be in the area?

edit: never mind, it is growing now, it was too far away from a source of water.

I rewrote the mod, not added one. Now it is possible to set an average time to grow (wheat: 500s, cotton: 520s, potatoes: 480s, strawberries: 480s). Maybe this is longer than before (with stupid abms), if it's too long, please say.

Later I saw that they from MTG also added timers, (maybe they saw the idea on my ToDos) but there the time to grow depends on the step number (every step needs * to * seconds).

And you can also use 'Garden Soil', onto this plants don't need water. When the compost bin is ready, you'll be able to craft it from compost, bone meal and dirt. For now it's a bucket of water and dirt (you'll get an empty bucket back).

Why did you repost my Wallpaper in a resolution from 700x394?

Edit:
Oh, I did not seen the black doodle there...

Did you know?

With the new update you can harvest mature plants with a simple rightclick! That should make many things easier! :)

Is there any documentation? What should I know about playing the game, other than craft recipes?

Also it looks like the stick recipe isn't working ("LaTest" version)

Three things you should know:

• You can craft a Crafting Guide with a normal unwritten book
• You can find the documentation for developers in the file 'game_api.txt' (at the moment there are 1-2 functions undocumented)
• I had the same bug with the sticks, and fixed it ~1h ago (See: https://git.io/v6ewW)

Thanks for trying out TNG! :)

Thanks!

i love the black inventory theme! is there a way to make unified inventory mod look like that?

ph8jPf9M wrote:i love the black inventory theme! is there a way to make unified inventory mod look like that?

You could replace the background image, of unified inventory with TNG's one.

Here you can find TNG's:
https://github.com/Gamerbude/Minetest_T ... formbg.png

But I think, it could be a little bit brighter...

sweet what about the inventory slots is it the same picture?

ph8jPf9M wrote:sweet what about the inventory slots is it the same picture?

The inventory slots are done separately.

And here is a small information:
I'm away for one week, so I can't fix anything in the game, but JBB (https://github.com/JBBgameich) has push privs for the TNG repository, so maybe he can help you for this time.

Finaly i can simply harvest crops! without destroying everything.

Been greatly enjoying a sesh of TNG. It is pretty polished and applies sensible defaults to many things.

Discovered some bugs too of course.

1. There's spawn cages generated in catacombs, should it be visible to player? Also, nothing spawns.
2. Cobblestone award have over-sized graphics.
3. There's a grave light bug, I think it's triggered when saplings grow into trees.

Thanks!

1 :the cages are spawners. with a torch near it, nothing will spawn. only works in dark

2 :the texture is too big needs to be smaller

3: mapgen bug with dungeons which tried to generate in air and then dissapeared. woerd bug, but usual with mapgen mods. cannot be alwas fixed for now.

Changelog (v16.07 - v16.08):

• Farming: Mature Plants are harvestable by a single rightclick now
• Default: Added rounding helper function
• Farming: Infotext displays the percent that the plant is grown
• Increase uses of most tools
• Default: Ladder recipe returns two, not only one
• Default: Mese lamp recipe returns two, and needs obsidian glass
• Add torch wield light (disabled by default)
• Food: Add hamburger, clean up, add documentation
• Hunger: Rewrite eating function partly
• Farming: Add lettuce
• Add 'Chessboard' from realchess mod by kilbith
• Add Chairs, that are sittable
• (Re)Add give initial stuff and enable with a crafting guide per default

I don't like getting stuck on chairs, it makes me feel old.
My furniture mod implements sitting a different way.

.xcf opens with gimp.
