you honestly should be able to just drop the game mod into the mods dir and have the whole game as a mod! havent tried it but there are no depends so hell it should work on any server or other game as oly a mod in that way!

I love ya pinky, but you're not getting my point. See my post: Why Minetest is the greatest game ever developed Most of us don't want a huge polished completed thing. We want legos. Little modules of functionality we can snap together and rip apart into endless possible combinations. If I took your whole game, its like playing with a toy truck in my lego kit. I could rip off the wheel, but I couldn't use it to snap onto my legos.

Modularity can also make it easier to develop, imo, as I found with CTF PVP Engine. Although it can cause some problems, occasionally.

well its all so dependent on the specific version of each modbase i have ( as i rewrite alot of things) that its damn near impossiable to seperate without adding even more code and breaking alot of features. now the trees i will do as a mod, maybe the mesh tools as well, possiably the inventory...... but the rest is just all dependent on everything way too much, sorry guys i got the point but its just well, yeah.

That's all anyone can do is use modular development when it makes sense, and if the components are too inter-related, keep them together. The art of being a great developer (creating maintainable code) is figuring out the best way to organize and group stuff.

Wow... just wow. Clearly one of your strengths is artistic ability. All the character races look amazing. Funny I was going to suggest nymphs & dryads to you, but didn't want to steer you wrong. But definitely was a good move. I've got something to propose to you. After seeing DungeonTest, I've been a bit obsessed with it, because it took my wildest dreams for a dungeon system (letting players design and share rooms, traps, loot, etc.) and went beyond what I was hoping for. The more I think about it, I know that a dungeon system is something that you will need, and a Modpack that does that is something that the whole community could use. I'm not sure of the licensing of DungeonTest, but if it is permissive, what are your thoughts of trying to work with Ferk and use as much of his stuff as possible for your RPG? I can envision the following mods that would benefit not just your game, but everyone:
  • Dungeons: Player created and shared rooms.
  • Dungeon Decoration: Ferk really got this one right, cherry picking stuff from castles, x-Decor, home decor and more.
  • Mob Spawners: A system that allows any mob maker be able to plug into it so their mobs can be spawned using spawners. I'm thinking Ferks system is pretty good especially because his spawners are unobtrusive. I've also seen some other good spawner mods around.
  • Loot: A system that handles the placing of chests with loot. There could be a config file that makes it easy for users to add items to it. The file could contain ModName, ItemName, LevelOfDifficulty, & Rarity. This would allow items from any mod to be added to loot. That way, the loot mod could scan through the config file and add things as appropriate. If Ferk's loot system doesn't work you might be able to use Blockmen's.
  • Scrolls: make this optional so folks who are opposed can disable it.
You're going to need most of this stuff anyway, but all of these could be done in a way that creates really useful Mods for everyone, rather than usable by one subgame only.

It looks like Ferk may work on splitting out a DungeonTest modpack from his sub game. You may not have to do much work to get really awesome dungeons and the like.

Your work is very impressive, especially on new characters (forks will come :p ). I hope this subgame will not be too heavy.

P.S : can you stop all those texts with kawai colors and tremendous font sizes ? they're just hurting my brain...

Thank you very much :3
and i run a modified build that shows lag in realtime not the max_lag with my lag hud as well and it stays around 0.15 seconds with a few 0.3-0.5 spikes around a 10-15 second interval on a slow 11 year old pc, also i get 6-8fps on far range with a onboard ~64mb graphics so the mesh is no issue C:

Looking good! Nice to see all those new races, is it going to be possible to switch from one to the another when you die? Is permadeath going to be an option too?

it uses a mmorpg like death meathod, you gohst out for 15 seconds, lose interact ( also you cant drowned or get attacked by mobs[pvp while dead i just now remembered as i will fix] then you just run around till you respawn)
Switching races is something that will be a setting as its default as after the inital join you are set with that character( yet to be coded in)
