FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I found the documentation: https://github.com/minetest-mods/hopper/blob/master/api.txt But it wants to directly access the inventory and we're using meta fields for name and count, so for now hoppers won't be supported. Sounds like there's an intention to create interoperability from the hopper sid...

Tried it, works well! A suggestion: The item count is a little "mathy", I think it would be more easy if it read "Cobblestone [99 / 2 376]" or simply "Cobblestone 4%". I would also love for this to work with this hopper mod.

Meaning, all lava and water from, say, mgv7 needs to go? I guess that's not what you meant, because here's a regular mgv7 lava cave at ≈-900, which makes me happy. http://i.imgur.com/kOQeH5u.png If I want to disable certain cave layers, how should I do it? Simply erase it's definition in underworld...

For an uninformed newcomer, why is it that no subgame then ever is bundled with the Minetest download? (apart from minetest_game of course) Being that the thread author is the founder of Minetest and all.

Not relating to the immediate discussion in this thread, but I will try the sorter node out later because the new feature sounds great. A dream situation would be for it to work in conjunction with the freshly released drawers mod, don't you think?

That is awesome, thanks LNJ! (Hey, you're back?)

Thank you, I'll try it out. But am I understanding this correctly then:

as long as you don't generate water or lava in your stock mapgen caves

Meaning, all lava and water from, say, mgv7 needs to go?

I've investigated the mod a bit in order to see if it could work on my server. It is quite impressive! I was wondering if there's a way to not cut off the caves and veins from the regular mapgen, but have them more integrated into each other?

That's true. I do those kind of PRs already, but with this project I'm not sure what the author see as the next step (if there is a next step).

I tried it out, it works well. I love the audible refill sound. A few ideas more, of course: ⋅  A visible wear level on the tank would be good, just like any other tool has. However, I see you put a badge on empty ones, perhaps you want it that way, that it's not so precise how much air is...

Make a PR? I'd help ;).

Players aren't usually skilled in coding, if you hadn't noticed. xD

That reminds me of the dream idea I had..

I tried to try the mod out, but all I could find was the stalactites, stalagmites and some fungi. Went down to about -3700. Is there something else to do? Did I get a bad seed? (I put df2 as seed on mgv7) I also get random lava lakes and flows at the surface. http://i.imgur.com/rPrLkBX.png

Exactly, it's a tradeoff. I had originally considered some kind of special inventory slot system like the armor mod has, but this way is much simpler (both for player and for the poor overwhelmed coder :) and makes extended underwater adventures something you need to plan for. Sounds good. Luckily ...

Is there anything us players can do to help with further development of this mod?

This is interesting! I've not seen alternative clients before. Wish you the best of luck!

A Raft-like mod/subgame. A bit like unternull but with hunger, temperature, thirst, weather and a real game progression mechanic.

Now that the mod "sfinv" is part of Minetest Game, it would be easy to make the bags compatible with the regular inventory too, without additional mods. Yes and actually the bags themselves could be made into new sfinv tabs, (With the tab layout Crafting, Bag, Bag, Bag and so on). The bag...

You do that and all of the characters will be like I was when I first learned to scuba dive. I had an instructor call me and "Air Sucking Dog" ;-D Cash fan perhaps? ;) I've updated the mod with a breathing tube. If the breathing tube is in your inventory quick-use slots, then when your br...

Another high quality mod from FaceDeer! As this developer somehow is able to read my mind of what feature is needed next time and time again, I'll add this to my server asap. I have a feature question right off the bat: Could an optional feature be made so that new breaths of air is supplied to the ...

Maintainers of the new repo should request a change of repo URL in first post so that newcomers won't choose the abandoned repo.

Cool.

You mean to create duplicate texture files so that they'll fit naming, when the namings diverge? Perhaps that's not a real issue though.

The converter is tailored to minetest_game, not mineclone2. I would need to know the name of the textures that mineclone2 uses for granite etc, and then they could be added to the translation tables. Patching it is relatively simple for most textures, since it is just a rename. What about enabling ...

Can't wait to try this!

Digtron controllers make note of the identity of the player who triggers it and the triggering player is the one who gets the credit. That's is good and how I'd like it to be. Thank you! I apologize, BTW, for not getting around to setting up the triggers on those achievements correctly to show prog...

Looks great, Toby! You're talented.

Note that there's the newer hopper version by FaceDeer as well, with an API, chutes and so on. Check https://github.com/minetest-mods/hopper

Awesome!

That's awesome!

I am deeply impressed with the achievements and pace of this project.
