FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Questions: 1: What about other mesecon traps, ones such as pitfalls, changing terrain (pistons pushing up blockages to change the passage ways of the base) 2: If I were to change my Secret Passages mod to fit better with texture packs ect. Would that be used? 3: If yes to 2, would using them for lav...

Alright, who ever destroyed parts of my tower at -303, 13, 245. You are no longer allowed on my land. Stay the hell away you freaking prick -.-

No by default Minetest is 32bit, but you can compile it as 64bit on a 64bit system as long as you compile the libs as 64bit also, there is only a slight difference in speed to see any more noticeable improvements you will have to do a few code edits. The main reason I compile in 64bit is because VS...

Could you double check that all your included libs are pointing to the 32bit versions (as your compiling a 32bit version of minetest) and if not link them with the 32bit versions (in cmake) and that should hopefully fix your problem. I usually compile a 64bit version of Minetest but that meant comp...

The folder actually exists, I edited the error to remove information I'd rather not have public. There was no errors when creating the all_build. There is no stack trace errors. Here's the log. 1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: INSTALL, Configuration: Release Win32 ------ 1> Building Custom Rul...

There wasn't anything in the readme.txt about it. How do I install them? I have downloaded everything in the readme. I have the zip files for the zlib125/dll, the irrlicht-1.7.2 and the minetest. I also have the unzipped zlib-1.2.5, irrlicht-1.7.2, gettext, minetest. As well as the zlibwapi.dll and ...

Okay, so I've tried doing this a few times, in different ways. But I fail at it. I'm trying to compile the latest version of minetest. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I am using visual Studio 2010 Express. I have followed the instructions on the readme.txt. But cannot compile minetest. I...

I like the idea of having vertical movestones would be able to make proper elevators then ^_^ oh actually...movestones only move one way don't they? hmmm ok maybe just leave them then, at least with the piston change will allow people to make piston lifts ^_^ It would be possible to do an elevator ...

Great mod! ^_^ I have got one request though would it be possible to make it so if you have two switches connected to the same circuit (for a piston door for example) that when one switch is turned on the other is also set as powered so that when you press the other switch it will turn the other sw...

Ah, but can they plant the plants from farms? And can they use the hoe to plow the land?

Well, I'm that 1% of players :P I don't copy existing structures/buildings. I like coming up with new buildings and tweaks to them on how rooms will look, as well as if there's any secret passages, ect. XP

Anyway! Back to topic. Is it currently possible to create the Entity, and have it "dig"?

Idea! Replace DMs with Gorons! :D Haha

Create automated farmers, automated builders and automated diggers. WAIT, OH SHI~ who will be playing then? :D Well, automated builders can build only so much, they won't be able to create epic buildings like players can :D Beside players will have new ideas, where as the automated builders, will o...

Alright, I don't know if this is currently possible. But have any of you thought of creating a NPC that gathers items automatically. So like, say you have a farmer that that will create a farm using the farming mod. For an example of what I'm talking about, here's the minecraft's version. http://www...

its case sensitive, so the login name has to equal the name in the weperms.txt

so unless your login name for the server (including local) is "John_Lennon". Then idk. (if you're not using local, then you should also put it in the server's bin folder)

This code should work. Just copy it and paste it below the register_node for the component (compoent due to my spelling error that I never fixed). minetest.register_node('secret_passage:sand', { drawtype = 'allfaces', tile_images = {'sp_sandstone.png'}, inventory_image = 'sp_sandstone.png', sunlight...

You need to close the register. So after


add this

United States of America: California. :P

@Rahonejm Why didn't it work? All you need to do is use this code, and replace the names and image. minetest.register_node('somenode', { drawtype = 'allfaces', tile_images = {'someimage.png'}, inventory_image = 'someimage.png', sunlight_propagates = false, paramtype = 'light', walkable = false, clim...

Alright. But I haven't worked with global timer yet, so I'd pretty but be blind shooting XD

It will be a 2d button. I guess it is better to use a global timer for stuff like this than using an abm, so that the time a button stays pressed is always the same. I wasn't thinking of a timed button, more like a portable version of your switch. So its either on, or its off. Not giving it a short...

Yeah, you should make another rule for that. Let me check that out in a few minutes... You should also use an on-state and an off-state button. Unfortunately the button won't look good :(, there is no special drawtype for it. You could use something like signs for example. There will be an on/off s...

Jeija, in seeing pressure pads, I was thinking of adding a "portable" button. Wall mounted. So would this be the proper code, or would I need to add something else to it? minetest.register_node("jeija:wall_button", { drawtype = "signlike", tile_images = {"jeija_wall_button.png"}, inventory_image = "...

Damns. Well, that ruins some plans for code. Mmm... I guess I could do a work-around using time-of-day, but that could screw things up. Hmmm.... oh wells, thanks :)

Alright, so I'm working on a mod/extension for a mod. Now if I register a ABM, will that apply to all future blocks of the same node? (example) minetest.register_abm({ nodenames = {"somemod:somenode"}, interval = 1, chance = 1, action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wi...

That works, thanks :D

Oh also Jeija. when you use two movestones and some random node in the middle, then send them to be moved off a location (trying a workaround for the sticky movestones) the node in the middle gets removed instead of pushed. Any thoughts on why?

And I will need to use piston rules correct?

To force a delay in power transfer.

Alright. But that's kinda the point, delay :D
