FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

See how e.g. creative does it.

Hello, and welcome! The world configuration looks fine to me. You can confirm if the bows mod loaded in several ways: ⋅ Type `/mods` in chat and you should see "bows" somewhere. ⋅ Enable creative mode (set `creative_mode = true` in `world.mt`) and confirm there's a &quo...

I have two lists. Been a while since I last played seriously, so some of my picks may be a bit outdated. For survival: ⋅ item_drop - (personally I use a patched version of PilzAdam's). Makes survival a bit harder. ⋅ mobs - Mobs Redo (TenPlus1). Nice simple mobs add some challenge...

Add this to a file named `mod.conf` in your mod directory:

And users won't have to worry about mod names.

Read more about it here.

Besides `debug_log_level`, there's no other facility at the moment.

Oh my.... I have almost running my own server..... Only one bug (of feature?) I've got: I see nothing (black screen) when authorized as admin. But, when authorized as normal user - I can see world and all is OK and perfect. What's wrong with admin's view? Do I need some mod to be installed? Or is t...

The commit log is a better place to see if the mod is active.

Moderators can edit the first post if there's any issue.

It seems Wuzzy was nice enough to post that as an issue in the proper place. Please continue discussion there or at least on the IRC mod topic.

sorry, but I'm currently too annoyed to give a normal, friendly, usefull report there. Also just secure.enable_security = false also gets rid of the error, so this problem is solved --- at least for me. Maybe its better I wait some days until I can write something more technical/friendly. >>:-( You...

Yeah, changes always break something. Only solution is to nudge these modders a bit to update their mods.

Hm? I have mod security on and have no problems.

What's the error?

Can you paste your code? I have tried a simple example, and found no issues: -- sub/sub.lua print("SUB!") -- init.lua local MP = minetest.get_modpath("sectest") print("Main before dofile") --> OK dofile(MP.."/sub/sub.lua") --> OK print("Main after dofile&...

What happens if the item definition has no groups table? Does register_item create a default one? Thanks to metatables , it inherits from a "base" definition . Note that since Lua tables are references (i.e. they are not copied), orwell's code may cause unintended effects if the node does...

Edited the post to address some of your points. Also added the metadata as requested. `lua_api.txt` was not of much help regarding `description.txt`, but found some help here . Tell me if something's wrong. For some reason phpBB does not update the last edited date of posts when a moderator does it,...

When placing the car on the ground, it appears as a black shape: <img> The colored model only shows up when the car is moving. Are there any plans for further development ? Oh, thanks for reporting. I didn't notice this issue because it is only manifests when the server lags. It is fixed in git. Th...

You should not worry about the performance of those checks. It's highly unlikely you will get any meaningful performance improvement. That said, I suggest something like this: local function do_something_fast(x, y) return x+y end local function typecheck(t, v) local vt = type(v) return assert(t == v...

He means wooL, not wooD.

I mostly agree with the naming conventions, but this shouldn't be enforced by the engine. Rather, it should be a convention adopted by modders like this is (I hope?) done for formspec names. I'd say the only thing required is that the core devs don't introduce any fields beginning with `x_`, and lea...

“ServerEnvironment::loadMeta(): EnvArgsEnd not found”.

In `minetest.conf` may help.

There does not seem to be a way to change the inventory text color from the client side.

Edit: There's also:

That is strange. I just re-cloned it and had no trouble at all. I even took out run in place to be sure that wasn't an issue. And now it magically works here too... WTH So the steps I did were: $ # Create clean copy of local master $ # No patience to fetch from remote repo $ git clone file://$(pwd)...

Some mods have a file mod.conf, but I found no documentation about that file and its usage. Can someone explain, or give a pointer to more info ? It's a text file containing mod metadata. At the moment, only the `name` field is used. The engine uses this as the mod's "internal" name. If t...

Hmm... this is weird. I'm having the exact same error.

The weird thing is I have a working Minetest build directory already, but can't get a fresh clone to find any of those libs either.

Can you post the actual error?

Moved the topic elsewhere less visible. Will put something in its place when something reasonable comes up.

You need to keep track of the strings yourself. Bah, wanted to show an easy example but it ended being not so simple. In any case, here's an implementation: -- Number of columns in our table. local NCOLUMNS = 3 -- Form name. local FORMNAME = "tabletest:form" -- Our table data. An array of ...

There are already several secret features! Haven't you found them yet? :)

You have linked to a file in your computer. You need to upload the image to a site like imgur.com . Or better yet, follow the instructions on this topic . If you want to upgrade to 0.4.14, follow the instructions in the PPA , then do these: sudo apt-get remove minetest # Remove the old version sudo ...

Would be nice to see the sources. Or what's different from (old) vanilla MT. Or... something.
