Re: Can I add a "mods" folder to my subgame?
Each game should have a unique name and be placed as a directory inside the "games" directory. Each game should have the following required structure: game_name --/menu --/header.png --/icon.png --/mods (with all mods and modpacks inside) --/game.conf (should set the game name, as does MTG...

[SOLVED] Make loops time out under environment?
I've been working on a computer mod ( digicompute ), but have been having some issues with the environment. Everything works fine, but if the player creates a large/infinite loops (e.g. for i=1,100000 do ... end), the server crashes instead of the code nicely timing out as had been hoped. My code fo...

If I understand correctly, you're saying that GitHub won't accept the commit(s) that you are trying to push because it thinks they are already there? If so, do: git push origin +master (Where origin is the name of the remote) Essentially, the above forces the commit(s) to be pushed no matter what. H...

Re: [Mod] Medicine 1.0 [medicine]
If no one else does, I'll take a look tomorrow and give you a few tips on it. First off, I'd recommend that you put this mod on GitHub as it would allow people to submit pull requests and issues. Send me a PM if you need help with GitHub.
Great job though.

Re: [Mod] Node Information on_punch [punchinfo]
Added 3 configurable HUD sizes and commands allowing each player to customize their own HUD. Also fixed the bug mentioned near the end of the video (linked in OP) where the HUD would be hidden immediately after punching blocks quickly. See original post and video for more info.

No. It is only sent to the player who punched the node. I'm working on a screenshot, which will be up soon. I hadn't thought about disabling it per-player, will do.

IDK, I guess people just haven't make any big swords. It's not that it's not possible in MT, all you have to do is change the wield_scale property of the itemdef. For example: minetest.register_craftitem("swords:big", { description = "Big Sword", inventory_image = "big_sword...
