FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

http://i.imgur.com/yDNLNB3.jpg This is what happened when you export a map region (from the MC converts from https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9440 ) using the (rather old) worldedit that is in the worldmods of that world , and import it into a new world using the most recent worl...

To me the major bug in minetest that directly go in the way of my world exploring fun is the one i always experience when i explore my world for too much time : https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13585 no setting have helped, even without additional mods, even editing mapgen.lua to h...

Hello, Before anything, i use a recent window build from Krock, so it's possible some of the errors i reports are not related to the old "stable" 0..4.15 I gave a try to that 0.16.0 version wanting to test the survival side i disabled creative and enabled damage (so mobs would come to atta...

Found a link to this article that reminds me a lot of that underground rendering problem Minetest has and how that developer worked for a solution :
https://tomcc.github.io/2014/08/31/visibility-2.html

I hope a dev will find a solution to improve this heavy problem.

That could be it, i'll have to retry with going deeper. EDIT : That was it indeed, as soon as i went way down, below -200 , i saw this : http://imgur.com/pCMi8gg After browsing, i think then the depths is setup by those in the scripts geomoria_mod.geomoria_depth = -2 (geomoria_depth - 1) * 80 - 32 I...

Hello, After just downloading and testing with a new v7 world without any other mods than the ones default to minetest_game, i am puzzled if i am doing something wrong or if that's just extremely rare that any of the structures from your screenshot generate ? I mean i've been fast noclip/flying to e...

It seems regardless of me setting a specific client_mapblock_limit in my minestest.conf it never made any visual difference, and so after long exploration the crash always happens. And even if i set it to super low like client_mapblock_limit=100 , there was still no visual difference ingame i always...

Still noticing this when i explore a lot on my 32bits OS (and then version of Minetest, using latest Krock build for it, 170128 at that time ). For testing purpose i generated a world with mgv7 , only minetest_game, no additional mods and in the minetest.conf : map_generation_limit = 320 (default is...

On my system that does not have enormous amount of ram, "only" 3gb i have always observed that if i explore a -very- lot of my generated worlds (taking a very long time), the game will -always- crash after some point, i assume that's at the point there are so much chunks loaded in memory t...

That sounds like a great idea, as it would get rid of the attach tracking function that add more calculation to do and when there's already lots of calculation/chunk stuff being done result only in visual stuttering. Though is it actually possible to transform the player model into another model lik...

Round worlds are theoretically possible, but will require substantial modification to the engine.

There's a build available to test and it's rather amazing.

This mod is really plenty of fun, thanks for this great work. Seems all that is needed now is to make some racing tracks, time to race on the Monaco grand prix :) edit : for those interested, this imageloader mod is very interesting in order to make the base of a F1 circuit : https://forum.minetest....

No problem with the bugs, it's a work in progress so it's obviously expected to run into some as the engine has bugs on its own already :) About the irlicht and the texture i noticed this : Further research on the "Could not open file of texture" warning: When Irrlicht loads a mesh like ch...

Hello, Playing only with this subgame, no mods added. I just gave a test , and here are some report -Very- lot of these error messages , it started when i walked near to that structure (apparently a dungeon generated above ground) : http://i.imgur.com/NI3Bb2r.jpg 2017-01-26 14:30:22: ERROR[Emerge-0]...

It's odd you have such bad performance on a 64bits OS, i have an older OS on 32 bits only and have no problem with Minetest that is apparently supposed to use the CPU much more than the GPU Some tips : The minimap can be intensive, don't display it, but even when not displayed apparently still gathe...

Maybe it's some change in the minetest engine itself.
When the problem happens to me, only trying to sit again and using the jump key, that sometime allow to jump out of the sitting position, seems to re-enable me to correctly walk (jump and sneak too)

It's always possible that Minetest mod security is what prevent the game to load in your minetest : https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12471 That while designed to avoid problems with some possibly system damaging scripting functions may also be preventing some mods to run correctly...

Thank you, i'll try to play with the values and see what works more nicely for me, as once you tasted the awesome of OBCHECK false with that catacomb it's hard to ever try to enter in a "normal" dungeon without being disapointed.

That must be it, as i have a few mods that seems to work with mapgen too.
A pity then to not be able to use boats without that stutter as without additional mods to enhance it, the world is much less interesting.

Something i noticed since i play is that boats are problematic , when you're on them each 5/6 seconds there's some kind of "hickup", you seem to move forward then backward, basically a stutter. At first i thought it was new chunks loading that may disturb some slow lua script, but after ex...

I wouldn't say nuts with OBCHECK false, i would say amazing :D So it's a question of player distance to the spawner nodes, good to know as i thought it was just automatic and never stopping. Is it possible to control that distance between a player and the actual node (as i guess i should lower it to...

Thanks, i'll try to play with the client_mapblock_limit , as i imagine some other mods consume memory too, and all in all things will go overboard at some point, so if i can already get mapgen to eat less it's already good.

I tried this, then edited those parts to test so it wouldn't be too deep : local YMIN = -200 local YMAX = 200 local XMIN = -200 local XMAX = 200 local ZMIN = -200 local ZMAX = 200 local YMAXSPA = -13 -- Maximum y for initial catacomb spawn and steps in air [...] local OBCHECK = false Then added as s...

That's a really great idea, making more visual variations with the various forests in biomes helps a lot in keeping exploration interesting.

A question about the mapgen world size. As i don't have that much ram (as i guess that's the problem), Minetest can crash on me when i explore for a long time, so i thought about limiting the world size in a way we (as i play with my nephew) still have a lot to explore before settling somewhere I th...

Hello, been trying a bit the "unstable" version from the Caerulean video comments : https://github.com/D00Med/LegendofMinetest/archive/update.zip And noticed while i was in a desert that snow was falling : http://i.imgur.com/3J6ab5g.jpg Could it be possible to have the snow script avoid th...

Hello, This sounds very interesting, but i am puzzled in how to get any bot starting to do something. Starting in creative, in a region covered by snow, i opened the inventory and saw 2 news item, a bot spawner and a bot spawner 2 that seems to spawn 2 differently colored bots. After that bots somet...

Really?? 0.o well that's good (I keep getting OOM errors). I thought it was funny... http://www.gamersheroes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Majoras-Mask-Moon1.jpg It seems the 64bits (at least on windows) version of Minetest can deliver tons of those nasty out of memory errors, even the new stable ...

Playtested this one (after disabling the mod security setting on a recent win32 build from Krock, as the subgame would just crash with it enabled) a bit and enjoyed the change of scenery in the game when moving from biome to biome, liked how those castles and other buildings improve the landscape, m...
