Re: Where does Sam's stuff go?
you make it way too complicated :P his pocket is a gate to the 4th dimension. that's why he can store 30.000Kg stones in it. =(^.^)= 32 (number of stacks) × 99 (size of stack) × 1m³ (volume of node) × 3000kg/m³ (average density of stone) = 9504000kg.

Re: Where does Sam's stuff go?
I prefer Sam has round head instead of this backpack. This cube on the top, that happens to be head, irritates me. So here backpack is like parallelepiped with accurately cut corners. BUT DID ANYONE THINK ABOUT CUTTING CORNERS OF THAT CUBE ON THE TOP. UH? http://cs6.pikabu.ru/images/big_size_comm/20...

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
It's simple. If names do not fit, let's use other languages.
gorniak is transliterated form of горняк, which means miner in Russian.
Here root is гор-. Гора means mountain.

Re: Colored chat
I am against colored messages from users. Only warnings and errors (and other internal services' messages) must be typed with different color. But not users' ones.
I imagine like every kid will paint words and letters with rainbow colors.

Re: Bug with glass
It would be a pain to replace stairs using WorldEdit. Checking each node for its definition to decide whether param2 should be cleared or not. For simplyness, request a new command to clear param2 for all nodes in the selected area. Maybe even better than that would be the ability to specify param ...

Itemstrings are so inconsistent! Some have underscores for separating words, another — do not — and looks like long snot.

So you want it to zero out param2 in some cases but not others? That seems rather inconsistent to me. So you want glass with glitches? That seems rather inconsistent to me. The "glitches" are just a non-zero param2, which is what it had before you replaced it. So? I just can't understand ...

Re: Bug with glass
WorldEdit replaces the node name *only*, and does not touch param2, metadata, etc. when doing //replace. That way, if you replace some rotated nodes with some others that support rotation, they stay rotated. If you want to clear the param2 value for the selected area, you can use this: //luatransfo...
