FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

There is a tool called minetestmapper.py included in the minetest sources (util/ directory) that can generate those. You need python, python-imglib or whatever and knowledge how to run python scripts on command line to use it. (also, it is not compatible with 0.4 currently.)

Have seen this before. My guess is that you have an old Athlon XP processor that does not support the SSE2 instruction set and Irrlicht or Minetest or... well, something has been built with SSE2 enabled.

Pack with zip/7z/whatever the world directory and debug.txt, upload somewhere and post a link to here.

Ai niin, suomikin taitaa olla eri kuin englanti. Laitetaan nyt tällainen for the lulz. 8D

This forum section exists for the sole reason of allowing people that are not able to write in english to discuss about Minetest on the Internet. I don't understand these languages, and cannot moderate this. That means you, the users, need to moderate this section, and report to me if you see anythi...

But it will split up the small community even more.

I agree and hope that all who can speak english even a bit will continue using this forum, in english.

They are either too overpowered or too common.

Minecraft is special because it has been made in Java, which allows very easy replacing of parts of the code, without any work towards supporting it by the original developer.

C++, on the other hand, requires careful planning and much work to allow similar things. Everything has downsides.

Moving this to General.

Do it on the server side. Look at the fireball code in content_sao.cpp (or something like that).

I am probably not going to set one up, but if somebody else wants to, feel free to create a new wiki with multiple languages. If it contains the english stuff too, then my wiki will be left only to serve the developers. If somebody sets that up, you need to prepare for keeping it up for the foreseea...

Ack.

Though this cannot be done exactly, as the server checks a network protocol version, not the program version. But the server could tell the version of itself, which could help considerably.

The language of this forum is english. It is written in the rules, too, to which you have agreed.

Shall I remove your comments? It would be nice to see a summary of them in english, though, so I'll leave some time for you to do that.

Known bug, I have this too. Will be fixed at some point of time.

Ask me before messing up too much in the wiki.

I think the wiki is fairly well organized already, so you need to explain well what you think needs to be done.

You have to first visit the server using your username and preferably also set a password.

I just got my lazy ass of the chair and picked up an old laptop and compiled the minetest server on it. Compling actually took more than an hour 8). It's running on c55.me port 30000 now again. I didn't move the old world onto it. New players may only build in the "free-build" area which is anywhere...

The first release of Minetest was released 2010-10-08 on a random finnish IRC channel, exactly a year ago. Just thought to note that. EDIT: You can find some of the oldest versions here: http://test.mine.bz/~celeron55/random/2010-10/old/ The oldest in existance is http://test.mine.bz/~celeron55/rand...

Once again one of the times when debug.txt is totally useless... It's probably a segmentation fault or some kind of a lost exception or something. Really the only way to find out is to build a debug build of the game and run it in gdb.

The textures are just files in the data directory. Just edit or replace them and make a zip/whatever package containing the new ones.

There are natural cave systems but I think are connected to the other caves that lead to the surface. These new caves are too narrow and are difficult to move around in without flying. I loved the terrain maker they had before the release in July. They had the most beautiful mountains and caves. I ...

A hundred lines from the end of the debug log after killing it would be useful. (~/.minetest/debug.txt or something)

EDIT #2: "/usr/lib/libz.so" not found, error, cannot compile.

How about installing zlib1g-dev or similar?

Yesterday Minetest-c55 0.2.20110922 was released - a bit hastily, but anyway. What I'd like to hear from you is how well it is working on Windows, Linux, or whatever you are using. In addition to everything, this is due to the fact that it now uses SQLite for bulk world data storage. Because the Win...

What is the usual name for such a forum section? Probably not chitchat...

This happens elsewhere too; it happens due to the fact that the game doesn't update the mesh (geometry, which includes brightness values) always when the neighboring chunk of stuff is loaded. This has been chosen partly because it isn't needed with non-smooth lighting (which was the only option unti...

Fixed. Now in repository, will be in next release. Release date unknown. It is a server-side fix though, so no need to update clients for it to take effect.

This is a VERY odd bug and it cannot really be fixed as such. It might be a bug in Irrlicht too, but nobody can tell.

I have heard about this once before, in the whole year of Minetest development. So we have two cases now.

stormrider2 and No-Half-Measures: My server (celeron.55.lt) is now running a version with experimental ip banning support and I gave you the permissions for using it. Commands are: "/#ban": list bans "/#ban <name>": ban user "/#unban <name or ip>": remove ban I hope you have some time for testing it...
