FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hey very cute and cubic mobs! ^__^

Hey craig is the server down again?

I select the lower texture pack and start playing but my highlighting method is ignored. Instead, default semitransparent blue wrapper around pointing block is applied. Of course, minetest only loads the texturepack you selected. If you want to play with the "vanilla 32x32 texture pack" a...

Could you please make a build whch includes the new smooth lighting (33e0eed)?

Did you also selected the right TP in the menu?

you can use teleporters to teleport people to different places within one world, e.g. the surface area and nether realm or whatever you want to add, but you can't teleport them into another world.

Server was down for a few hours for scalable storage migration. The map is now 12.2GB so it's quite a pain to move around the place, but hopefully the way is is set our now means that downtime won't happen again, thanks :) Server and IRC is a bit empty lately so if anyone feels like joining let me ...

Thank you! :)

Question: If I wanted multiple blocks to be placed when I place one block, how would I make that happen? Also dependent on what direction player is facing? eg- place one block and 2 "spawn" stacked on top and 3 "spawn" stacked next to it [][] [][] <------like that [][] ^ Say tha...

It works as is.

Oh good to know, this tutorial is redundant then. :D

@sfan5
Could you please add a new build? Your current one chrashes when you dig a door with latest minetest_game, because of "minetest.check_for_falling".

hmm - shall I copy this over to the Wiki? No, I don't think that this is really needed, because I created it for GreenDimond's voxelshop model. If you are only working in blender and exporting it there, you don't need these steps. Except from that, I don't think that it is a good idea to fill minet...

cool idea! :)

@ Greendiamond:
Did you tried if your others models also work without the blender steps as DS-minetest mentioned? Maybe they already work if you just add the textures and models into the right folders and replace them in the code.

i never use material and it works, too. i think, minetest doesnt need it and this tutorial is a bit confusing to me That would be even better then. :) I rarely used meshes for mods, so this tutorial is just a list of steps I did to make greendiamon's model working. It didn't worked before and I did...

I created a little tutorial how you can attach the texture to your model in blender. I also attached a small mod with it. :)

This tutorial I made for GreenDimond and other voxelshop users is no longer needed, because the exported model and textures already worked without any other steps in blender, which I didn't recognized at the beginning. So feel free to ignore this topic. :) http://i.imgur.com/2epmfDM.png In the moddi...

@ GreenDimond you need an UV map to be able to add textures on your 3D model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping I don't know how you create an UV map in Voxelshop or if this program even allows to create one, but you could export your model as an obj there, then import it into blender and cre...

1920x1080px Minetest Wallpaper

I'm curious if you intend on renting the shops and offices inside :D I have no plans for that so far, but there is a lot of space inside, so if you want to put your shop there, feel free to send me a message. :) WOW!!! Great job!!! I never thought this could ever be finished... but I'm really glad ...

Thx VanessaE!
I added the coordinates and most of the materials I used for it ^_^

Is there a way to change the default stack size from 99 to another value in general, or do I have to add stack_max to each item and block?

RHR: Be careful with these checks, for example not def.description:find("Ore") will not work when intllib is activated. It will also not work when a mod is loaded after xdecor, thus you have to put the whole thing into minetest.after or add all mods to your depends.txt. Krock: These check...

Hi, is there a way I can register nodes for use with the saw of Workbench? Sure addi, just change the general registration of them in workbench.lua e.g. if you want to add straw from the farming mod then add or def.name == "farming:straw" like shown in the code below local nodes = {} for ...

For me visual bugs and bad performance are the biggest problems. Usually I fly around and build stuff, so gameplay bugs like fall damage don't bother me at all. Depth sorting, lighting bugs and lags are very annoying, but I'm afraid that all of them are really difficult to fix.

Would my Townhall satisfy you, even if saw this build from a MC Player, though i changed it slightly.

Nice Townhall! :)

So basically it would be hard to try to convert minetest's map to minecraft? Is that right? Yes, it is possible, but there are several differences between Minetest and Minecraft which make this way of converting more difficult than the other way round. And of course there has to be someone who has ...

It seems that your naming is too specific. The name "pane_" is used in the node definition of the xpanes. I suppose the functions of placing, digging and updating do not check if there is a number or a string after the underscore of "pane_", so it just replaces your node with the...
