Re: [Mod] Real Terrain [0.1.0] [realterrain]
fyi the latest mod includes a mode that does in fact preload the map.sqlite file using a python script so that no image libraries are needed. it is still somewhat experimental. python 3 needed

Dynamic draw distance might be removed soon if c55's farmap is merged.

dynamic image loading

However, that was the status of things before the minimap was introduced. my question is: sinc...

Re: [Mod] Real Terrain [0.0.9] [realterrain]
I have another idea: making a separate python script that converts the image into raw data that Lua can easily use. Run the script before starting Minetest. With this method, the raw data can even been split up into many different tiles, each of them matching a… maybe 200x200 pixels, hugely reducin...

image library functions in lua api
There are several mods which are forced to include various lua image libraries to varying degrees of success, such as my mod, realterrain, and it would make a world of difference if the image functions built-in to minetest core could be partly accessed by the modding API. in particular it would be n...

Re: [Mod] Real Terrain [0.0.9] [realterrain]
there are issues with most of the image processor modes under windows, but if you had imagemagick working in the past then changing the MAGICK_AS_CONVERT = false on init.lua line 40 should get you working again.

yes that's what I mean. should we ask the core developers to include pixel-access to images as a lua method?

Re: [Mod] Real Terrain [0.0.9] [realterrain]
yes it would change a lot of things for the better to not have to include any libraries for basic pixel-level access to images... including full 16 bit support and all common filetypes. i have discussed this in the irc but there is not much interest in including it in core.
