All flowing liquids in Minetest Game are broken, too.

Tried without water effects, too. Same result.

A minor update that doesn't really do much. Fixing little graphical errors is a good thing though.

dude can you calm down please! always rant, rant, rant! everywhere i read you! (yes, is ironic, i'm ranting)

Just put him on ignore, like everyone else 😊

My personal highlight:

Fixed incorrect animation state when placing nodes quickly (jordan4ibanez)

It instantly feels so much better when holding the build button now! 🤩

Such a minor detail, but such a huge effect!

Sometimes, if you have nothing nice to say, it's better to say nothing at all. See his latest post in his weird cringy rating system he made up and that has zero relevance, is not legally binding under any juristiction, and has and no adoption outside his own world. He is currently in "that mo...

Ah, yes, I was stupid 🤣 We can just add more keywords!

If your concern is convenience, it's common to make a util function for this called FS

Code: Select all

local function FS(...)
    return core.formspec_escape(S(...))
end

-- use in formspec like S
FS("Some text")

… which makes it impossible to translate strings using the common gettext tooling.

Update time! (Yes, the mod is still active 👍) A long-standing issue coming from a rendering glitch that exists since Luanti Version 5.6 causing connected nodeboxes not rendering properly when the connected nodebox is not shown was finally circumvented. (This happens when you place a pillar on top o...

Git commit history isn’t a user-facing change log, though. Now it’s to late, of course. But I mean: Description is there, implementer/fixer name is there, I bet the link is also there. Maybe with >= 5.17? It would be a nice benefit to see what actually leads to something, like, an issue discussion w...

Updated the first post to have a link to the current changelog (WIP) --> https://github.com/SmallJoker/fork-dev.luanti.org/blob/pr_332_changelog_5.16.0/content/about/changelog.md#5152--5160 You know I have to say it on every change log 🤣: I wish the change log would link the issues/PRs/discussions ...

What are you referring to with “MineTest”? Do you mean “Minetest Game” or the old name of Luanti (“Minetest”)? If you mean “Minetest Game” maybe have a look at my selection of mods I think that are good additions for a relaxed “Minetest Game” gameplay that does not feel extremely modded. Some of the...

.

on player join/leave hooks saving inventory state to some central db/service, which can be done with the HTTP API (simplest, probably) or DB integration (slightly more complex). Wouldn’t it be enough to register a custom authentication handler with core.register_authentication_handler(…) doing all ...

That’s great! Just translated to German!

Follow @Luanti@floss.social on Mastodon for updates.

Bei manchen wird es aber auch schwieriger, z.B. #: builtin/mainmenu/dlg_rebind_keys.lua msgid "Check out the key settings or refer to the documentation:" msgstr "Schauen Sie sich die Einstellungen oder die Dokumentation an:" Das ist im Kontext des angepassten Systems für die Tas...

Idealer Weise sollte die Übersetzung ganz ohne persönliche Anrede auskommen. Ich möchte von Software eigentlich weder geduzt noch gesiezt werden. Das fühlt sich auf Deutsch für mich einfach irgendwie falsch an …

Von den beiden Optionen ist das „du“ meiner Meinung nach aber das kleinere Übel.

Why do I only see this now! That’s a really cool web application! It’s not annoying to use, is not complicated. A very good successor for the discontinued NodeBoxEditor.

… I just spammed the repo a bit :)

This mod provides a game-agnostic API to limit node interaction based on an access list. The owner of an access list can add player names to grant them access to the node or feature the list controls. The mod provides a purposeful and neutral looking formspec, and customizing options to adapt it to...

Is this post AI slop? Is this a necropost? Who knows … 🙃 It seems to me that Minetest is a little insecure and puts a lot of trust in both the client and the server. The server isn’t even close to being authoritative in the client/server concept of Luanti. This will become even worse over time with ...

You just need to install the mods on the server or computer you host the map on. All other players can simply connect and do not need any of the mods installed.

I mostly play modded Minetest Game games so sfinv it is for me, sometimes Unified Inventory or some variant of those two. For my own mods I usually create formspecs as needed. Some are inventories, some are not. For developing and testing mods in Void I use Void Inventory. For everything else I’m fi...

Not 100% efficiency, but everything that is not going into the machine is going back into the chest and nothing is dropped on the floor.

With all "AI-made mods" I have seen so far, I have been less than impressed.

… that one time an user in the CDB re-made an AI mod with half the code and actually working as implied by the AI mod.

Yeah, we got it, you hate updates.

I think for some reason, the performance on old mobile devices has significantly improved over 5.14.0 as well.

On Android, 5.15.x uses opengl3 by default now. Maybe this helps with performance?
