Minetest client new tab: addons
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2016 18:43Do you think subgames, mods and texture packs are easy to install now? Wait till you get to install them via addon tab from minetest itself.
Idea is to add a new tab called addons that could works similair to supertuxkart addons
On supertuxkart game installing new tracks, karts and tracks is as simple as navigating through the game menu choosing the track and pressing install. There is no need to visit external website to download the track and then install it manualy.
It would work like this: when you switch the tab to addons there would be three tabs: subgames, mods and texture packs. there would also be notification if any of these got updates and if so there would be an option to update everything.
on the subgame tab there would all the old, wip and released subgames. By clicking on some subgame you will get to see subgame details with pictures, list of mods,description and option to install the subgame. There would categories to change between wip, old and released subgames.
on the mods tab there would be categories to sort mods like these http://wiki.minetest.net/List_of_Mods By clicking on some mod you will get to see mod details with pictures, description and option to install the mod including its dependencies.
on the texture pack tab there would be categories to sort texture packs by pixels 8x 16x 32x 64x By clicking on some texture pack you will get to see texture pack details with pictures, description and option to install the texture pack.
