I found out about a new feature made by RealBadAngel that will automatically generate normal maps for textures. Look at the bits of today's chat room posts below:
[20:52] <RealBadAngel> Inocudom, git apply patch_file
[20:52] <VanessaE> hi
[20:52] <RealBadAngel> or you can build whole tree
[20:53] <RealBadAngel> hi VanessaE
[20:53] <RealBadAngel> https://github.com/RealBadAngel/minetest
[20:53] <Inocudom> Oh. Do you think it would be worth trying to convince Fess to add the patch to his builds?
[20:53] <RealBadAngel> heres the repo, up to date with minetest master
[20:54] <RealBadAngel> this is test repo, i dont think its needed atm
[20:54] <Inocudom> You will probably have to help him with it, since his builds are 64-bit.
[20:54] <RealBadAngel> thats not a problem
[20:55] <RealBadAngel> on the other hand more testers are always welcome
[20:55] <Inocudom> If you show me the link to the patch, I can show Fess where it is at.
[20:55] <RealBadAngel> click on my repo, click the commit
[20:55] <Inocudom> You should post the link in your shaders topic too.
[20:55] <RealBadAngel> copy commit's link
[20:55] <RealBadAngel> add .patch to link
[20:56] <RealBadAngel> thats a neat trick with github

RealBadAngel also uploaded the patch at the link below:

[Inocudom]

It looks like you will have to remind Midnightwraith of the recent changes. He will probably find them useful in Freeminer.

oOChainLynxOo got a new computer recently. If it is 64-bit, he might find your Minetest builds useful now.

I don't think Midnightwraith ever posts in these forums, but I am sure that he would like to know about the recent improvements made to Freeminer:
https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer

[Inocudom]

I don't know if Midnightwraith is interested in Freeminer anymore. He hasn't made any new builds of it for some time.

Will you be able to make a new Minetest build soon? Many changes were made to the development version of Minetest:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commits/master

Isn't there anybody else in this community that has a 64-bit computer with 64-bit Windows? You will likely find Fess's builds to be very useful. In order to use a texture pack that takes a lot of memory, you must have a 64-bit build.

[Fess]

I don't know if Midnightwraith is interested in Freeminer anymore. He hasn't made any new builds of it for some time.

He can't make new build, because freeminer has many incompatibilites with MSVC at the moment. Last build that he compiled from 10 january here:

He should then report the issues to the Freeminer developers rather than stay silent.

Yes, this is the time of year to take vacations. Winter can be very cruel (especially this year.)

Thank you for the new Minetest build. As I said before, I hope oOChainLynxOo will test it. Maybe if I send him a PM that tells him about it, he might become aware of it and give it a try.

Hello!
Nice hearing from a new version. But since that, minetest doesn't load textures. I'm in an empty world. The console allways says: PNG warning: interlace handling should be turned on. And I have no directx support any more.
