Re: Making mgv7 the default mapgen for 0.4.15

I concur that mg7 appears to be a more advantageous choice for the default map generation algorithm. Sometimes in minetest I get the feeling that all terrain looks the same. I like exploring maps, so if I don't find unique looking terrain, I'm going to simply get bored. I think mg7 helps combat this...

Re: What is, what will, what sould be Minetest?

Hey, you there, whatchu wanna prove, eh? A gr8 idya's a gr8 idya, like it or no! Really? That comment makes no sense. Anyway just to add a bit to the discussion, I was thinking that a road map to add mobs to Minetest Game should be added. I'm pretty sure that some guy is improving the pathfinding a...

Re: Minetest newly build game : Subgame specified in default

Did you download the Minetest game https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git before building (this is in the steps.)? If you did go to minetest/games and make sure that there is minetest_game in there, make sure it's named properly to. If I read the error correctly then it looks like it isn't na...

Re: About when will we get proper mobs in minetest?

I'm a bit late to this party but I'll offer my opinion anyway. Someone should make a lua mob mobs that actually uses the engines pathfinding algorithm and use good 3d models that are actually consistent with the default minetest texture path (which IMHO most mob mods aren't). Or just modify Pilzadam...

Re: iOS?

Is it the mac osX build that much diffrent then iOS, ie how hard would it be to make an iOS build if we have osX builds? While iOS is loosely based on OS X, a lot of things differ, starting with the CPU architecture (ARM instead of x86_64) and 3D renderer (OpenGL ES instead of OpenGL). But we do su...

Re: Space Station 13 Clone

Do you plan on making your own mobs mod, or use an existing one, like simple mobs or mobs redo. I don't know how soon I will add mobs, but I will probably use what is already out there. I have heard mobs have issues, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel unless I have to I think the issues are pr...

You can probably implement this in a sub-game, but it's most likely best to make the sub-game with LuaJIT.

Re: iOS?

Honestly I totally agree. Having minetest for iOS wouldn't work though, because Apple blocks of some parts of the minetest website in order to insure that you phone doesn't get viruses, and those parts of the website are needed...even through the App Store. Oh well it can't be that hard to jailbrea...

Why do you want an image larger then 64x64? Do you not like the default res, or do you want a larger space to put your avatar image?

Re: iOS?

The minetest copyright is not just held by one person, and thus it's probably impossible to dual-license it. Some of the default mods are licensed under multiple people, though if you get all those people to agree on the license, then it might work. If it can be built, we do not necessary have to pu...
