Bad news first:
I'm using development packages, so you cannot play this game using compiled binaries from http://www.minetest.net/. You need to wait for 0.4.15 to be released.
OR if you are Arch Linux or Ubuntu user you can use daily builds from those places:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mine ... t-leveldb/
https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdev ... /+packages
OR you can build fresh version of Minetest by yourself. Check instructions from this place (scroll down):
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/
Although there is pull request, which is used to save your CPU performance and provide necessary API functions:
# 4035 (https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/4035)
It is not absolutely necessary.

wow it looks very nice!

From your gameplay video, this subgame looks amazing, I'm waiting for those PR to be merged.

P.S. Your GitHub repo is full of backup files (files with ~ on the end of filename -- are you a Linux user?). You can delete it and create a file called .gitignore in the root of your repo and add this line to ignore those files:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: *~

Yep, Ubuntu 15.10. I know about .gitignore, i just realise that i forgot about it after uploading source.

Looks good.

paramat, you are one of a developers. Could you add "one approval" mark on related pull requests?

Here is new video:
https://youtu.be/ip6ibzX_Zv0
In version 0.003 i add a "microfactories". Several nodes placed side by side to each others form a net, where they can exchange electric power and items. Each stage of processing raw materials give profit about 10 Cr. per minute. If you use product of one microfactory as source material in another, total profit is increased.
Also added Gauss MG - new type of weapon, which are using ammo to shoot.

I must say, this is a very impressive game. Very unique and immersive, great work!!

I discover and decide to use schematics instead of procedure-generated structures for enemy mothership and human base.
Here is a new look of human base:

Here is a look of enemy mothership:

As well due to disappointment over standard mob spawn I decide to pregenerate mobs as moving vectors. A new device, radar, allow players to see approximate position of random 8 enemy ships in range.

+100!

sky is wondeful! how the texts are done?

Good structures.

Thank, I guess.

Thank you!

azekill_DIABLO wrote:how the texts are done?

Texts? Assuming you asking how I made textures, I used two photos:
1. 360-degree panorama view of the Milky Way.

2. Saturn close-up.

And combined them using GIMP image editor.

Thank you. Yet, what about approvals on related pull requests?

Posted: **Wed Sep 14, 2016 09:51**

Yes sorry we are understaffed, on these PRs i might not review as it's code i'm not good with.
The bug of course should be fixed. #4035 seems fairly useful so i may support the concept.

no the little things with the positions of the ships.

Ah, sorry. I thought that you shorten word "textures" by a weird way.
Check a line 679 in player.lua
https://github.com/Foghrye4/minetest_sa ... r.lua#L679
And check a line 901 in global_functions_and_variables.lua
https://github.com/Foghrye4/minetest_sa ... s.lua#L901

Those marks is a HUD text and pictures, which is updated from a server side, therefore they react with lag whenever player rotate camera. Calculating on screen coordinates of objects in 3d is a simple vector math.

paramat wrote:Yes sorry we are understaffed

Is there is some conditions to became a part of your staff, like a programming degree? Or unless you sacrifice a certain amount of your time, you will be "fired"?
May I became a part of a "staff"?

paramat wrote:#4035 seems fairly useful so i may support the concept.

Glad to read this.

No conditions of qualification or hours.
It usually takes a while for a contributor to become 'known' and trusted, like 6 months to 2 years depending on how many pull requests you make and how active you are. Then at some point a core dev might suggest inviting you to become a core dev and will discuss this with other core devs. So essentially you wait until invited.
Until then you can help out by submitting PRs, reviewing and testing other PRs.

How a clever way to add this! Impressive!

Zeno and Nerzhul be praised (especially Zeno), pull request #4128 was merged into Minetest master branch and I decide to design API "gag", so you can play in Minetest Saturn even without API.
If someone ask a single question about "how to play", I will start a wiki page about game.

How to play?

You are welcomed to ask more specific questions and suggest any ideas to improve game.
And I will be grateful, if you find and post any bugs here.

Posted: **Sun Oct 09, 2016 11:06**

super!

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2016 18:10**

Latest update:
1. Fixed too much start money in normal game (not in creative).
2. Fixed critical bug on enemy entity checking available targets.
3. Map are now scalable.
I wonder, if someone actually download and try this game, except azekill_DIABLO?

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2016 18:52**

erh, to be honest i only watched a let's play. but i'm downloading right now when i saw this comment :)

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2016 18:55**

still does not wanna say me the size of the file.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 18:52**

azekill_DIABLO
A size of a repository was big because ".blend" and ".xcf" files was uploaded in Github. Now they are removed and approximate size of repository now is 9 MB.
Well, here is a new video for you: https://youtu.be/vcPsFwdYURs
Quite boring, although.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2016 21:10**

thank you! i'm sure it will be interesting.

ah also, the game does not work because of a lua error.

EDIT: was boring. really.
