FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Here's a perfect example of why a stack size of more than 99 is a problem for tablet and phone users: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?id=9427 Notice how on on this app, a single inventory slot can exactly fit two digits. Of course, if I choose such a huge font size, 3 digits would prob...

Besides left and right mouse buttons, I would like to dig/punch and place/use with keyboard as well.

So I want to say that it would be great to bind different mouse/keyboard buttons with the same action.

Is there a command that shows quantity of specified nodes in currect selection?

For example, I want to know how many stones are in current cuboid selection.

Also, paramat is suggesting a change to Minetest to increase the default climb speed from 2 to 3 nodes per second. The crafting recipe for Minetest Game ladders was just recently made cheaper in the dev version of Minetest Game: Now 7 sticks give you 5 ladders instead of 3. http://yoursmiles.org/ts...

How do you make an image of item above each chest?

I looked in the code, and it seems that the probability is the same for both trees (1/20). You should even get more saplings per jungle trees because it has more leaves. But if you cut only one tree in a dense forest, the nearby trunks will prevent some leaves from popping (a leaves block pops when...

Why jungle saplings drop so rarely?

If I fell pine or aspen I could get 3 saplings. As for jungle trees, I fell 3 of them and got only one sapling.

Is that behavior intentionally programmed? Or probability of dropping of saplings is equal for all trees but I am just unlucky?

I have chests from floor to ceiling (4 meters high) along the wall of my big house.

Situation with spamming happens periodic.

In order to reduce such things I recommend (if it is possible) to use algorithm for checking password simplicity/complexity while filling registration form.

User DewayneKit is massive spamer. Remove his posts. Searching for all his posts and pressing report button is too tiring.

WAT? Core developer does not have wiki access?

In order number not to cover the item you have to… miss that f*cking item.
No item — no pixels occupied by number.

100: Negative These disadvantages are not significant. ⋅ May need a smaller font for small screens It's not a problem at all. Now image of item is big enough not to be overlaped with number label. I took image from similar topic " Items stackable by 100 ? " for example. http://i...

Well, everything began with Big Bang.

Floating wood node?

Sorry for off-topic, but "wood node" reminded me Mr. Woodnote and this.

I think the stack should be 128 or 64. But not 99, its just ... stupid? No, irritating? Well it does make lots of crafts rather irritating. Lets take, for example crafting of the stone bricks. If i want to craft stone bricks from stone i need 4 stone for a combination. So if i make as many combinat...

Making it possible to climb faster on steel ladders would be awesome (and it would make sense because steel is more rigid). I agree. Steel ladder is more expensive craft than wooden one. For crafting wooden ladder all you need is 7 sticks. While one tree block is 16 sticks. For crafting steel ladde...

Make ability to delete post. At least, if it is last in discussion and noboby replied to it.

Why can player be on "half" positions?

sorcerykid wrote:"Nodes can not be placed on slabs"

That awkward moment when slabs are nodes.

That is awkward indeed. I see air. I see emptiness. Why should I think of it as something solid? I see it and understand that it could be occupied with something I place there.
Slab is optical illusion.

Yes.

Sorry. I did not understand you.

OK. I understood I need to add "name = <admin_name>" to minetest.conf to define admin's name to log in using that name. How to make account with that name?

So many butts hurt now :-)

Make mod with that "feature" if you want.

Yes. But I still don't understand what the problem is.

As I understand, GUI and playing is not needed for it. As a result, less memory and CPU resources would be used and task could be executed faster.

Can I run minetest game without GUI?

that is how voxel games work. one node in one position at a time. the slab is occupying the whole 1*1m node with the upper half being air. You are requesting for the sand to occupy the same positition as it cannot be half in the lower and half in the upper node. The node grid the map information is...
