Re: Animated Overlay Rendering Issue

You can probably use overlay_tiles i.e. core.register_node('mossworld:glimmering_sand', { description = 'Glimmering Sand', tiles = {"mossworld_sand.png"}, overlay_tiles = {{ name= "mossworld_glimmering.png", animation = { type = "vertical_frames", aspect_w = 16, aspect_...

Re: How to use Schematics with singlenode mapgen

Hi, one thing you can do is to generate single nodes and let them place the semantic at a later point, such that the bordering mapblocks are already generated. The caverealms mod does this and moretrees did it in the past (now it uses decorations). https://github.com/mt-mods/moretrees/blob/master/in...

Re: [Mod] Handranks [handranks]

I just compiled luanti 5.14 and indeed I couldn't dig anything. I think the mod was made with version 5.7.0, and I'm sure it worked back then. Weird maybe there was an engine regression, but if there were I should know about it. The only thing I can think of is https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/i...

Re: [Mod] Handranks [handranks]

You can if you want. I currently can't reproduce the bug, so there is nothing I can do to fix it.

You can also try to find the conflicting mod yourself, by iteratively enabling/disabling suspicious mods.

Re: how do i add mods minetest on truenas

You download them, unzip them if necessary, and put them into your mods folder. The mods folder is usually in the home dictionary i.e. /home/<user>/.minetest/mods/ or in .../minetest/mods/ for run in place installations. If you don't know your home, executing echo $HOME may help. You can also add ot...

Re: [Solved] I want to use no texture at all on something - should I make my own?

But if you really want to, you could use no_texture.png (which is a simple no alpha channel 16x16 pixels image) and colorize it to be completely white ( no_texture.png^[colorize:#ffffff:255 ). As said before, you don't need a texture file, not even no_texture.png , just write tiles = {"[fill:1...

Re: Luanti server fails to locate minetest_game

Alternatively, you can change the path, e.g running this
env MINETEST_USER_PATH=/root/luanti/bin /root/luanti/bin/luantiserver --gameid minetest_game --worldname RotateThis
should work in your case.

Re: [Solved] I want to use no texture at all on something - should I make my own?

I thought the base texture pack is well known. Keep in mind that it's not guarantied that every texture provided by the engine will stay in future engine versions. Especially the ones from the main menu. (But textures like blank.png are very unlike to be changed or removed.) If you really don't want...

Re: Help with setting up a server

Looks like the game didn't load correctly. You have to start Luanti with --gameid minetest_game and set the environment variable MINETEST_GAME_PATH to your minetest/data path (the folder which contains games, not the game folder itself.) See Luanti man page. If your world is still blank (test if the...

There was a bug where they didn't get generated. https://github.com/mt-mods/moretrees/pull/57 To fix this, update your moretrees mod and then go to a new area of your map that has not been generated yet. Hint: As of now, you can only find rubber tress where the altitude (y coordinate) is smaller equ...

I'm used to opening the inventory with "I". It is also common in other games besides Luanti. To me, it doesn't matter if it is far away from WASD, because you don't have to hold it while moving like Aux1. "Q" is a much bigger problem, because accidentally dropping your item may h...

The map database stores every mapblock (16x16x16 nodes) as an entry in a table. So you have to decode it in order to read a single node.
