Two updates a month? Awesome! OvO

But this time it’s just a small one!

Some games might overwrite the digging function which could make it impossible to toggle between walls and pillars. To circumvent this, a new option was introduced. It can be either set in the client configuration (globally ...

Another month, another update 🙂

There are now multiple “base nodes” of Mineclonia covered by the built-in support!

Some of the walls in Mineclonia – there are more walls available

Mineclonia players: please playtest and report back if ...

No, it's clearly different ?


It is technically the same. There is no difference in how a LAN server works in relation to how a server works that is accessible from the Internet. In the end you’re running the Luanti binary and giving it a configuration and world to serve.


To be clear, we're ...

Setting up a LAN server or a server reachable from the Internet does not differ.

Is the LAN wired or wireless. If it is wireless, do you use a repeater?

do i register on the servers

Yes, accounts are local to the servers. Just enter a username and a password. If the username does not exist, the account will be registered.

Do we know where we can find the source code/instances for these clients? or is there some other piece of information that hints to them being mobile clients (and specifically forks of the mobile client)

As if those people would care about licenses. They do some optimization on the clients to ...

Those are optimized forks of the mobile client.

I'm not sure what to say.

I feel sorry for you that you as a moderator have to read all and everything this absolutely disrespectful and annoyingly unfriendly person utters in the forums and cannot simply but them on your ignore list.

I just noticed … Title and short description do not overlap with the main screenshot anymore 👍

… i just noticed further, that the main screenshot isn’t the main screenshot anymore if you have more than one screenshot 🙁

That’s very clean!

but if I add, say, a cobra whose venomous spit causes a blindness effect that fogs your vision and makes it hard to see, then […]
… you would usually use player:set_lighting() , player:override_day_night_ratio() , and maybe player:set_sky() , or a combination of those three, but not a non ...

Still no light mode, but I like the new design concept!

maybe someone could release it as a standalone mod?

It needs to be a client mod because people might want to take clean screenshots on servers, too.

This can be useful for some full-screen effects.

But it will also make clean screenshots impossible.

And then there's saying "he needs to get a job done," which is implying that he somehow can't do that on Codeberg.

You can get the job done perfectly on Codeberg (or selfhosted Forgejo instance).

It's more like you cannot get the job done properly anymore on GitHub because Microsoft recently ...

and top 3 would tell us to have Mineclonia AND VoxeLibre, which is a pretty bad idea.

Maybe we could use categories? Those games fall under the same category (exploring, building, crafting, and surviving in an open world), so only the one with most votes will make it into the next round.

I suppose a "palisade" is a wall, though a bit different in shape from your sdwalls.

Oh no, please don’t give me ideas! 🤣

P.S. congrats on finally making it to Mod Releases :P

Thanks, haha. I think I just forgot about the mod post still being in the WIP forum.

Update time again, baby!

Last update introduced basic world-specific configuration, this update now uses it throughout the mod, including the built-in support features which were completely overhauled (no worries, all wall node IDs are the same, nothing is lost).

The configuration option ...

I have half a mind to split this topic into "What games should we feature at FOSDEM 2027"

aka. “Everyone posts their three favorite games” 🤣

Maybe the game decision for next FOSDEM can be made in the content database instead of in a forum disucssion? I mean, there is a rating system implemented ...

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 ...

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.
