Luanti Forums

Luanti will be at FOSDEM 2025 . FOSDEM is the largest free and open source software conference in Europe. The conference will be held on 1-2nd February in Brussels, Belgium. We'll be running a stall, showing off Luanti, giving out stickers and goodies, and talking to visitors about the project. Last...

Dependency resolution is currently only done on new installs. So ContentDB won't install any new dependencies when updating

Just to explain where this change is coming from - celeron55 has struggled with hosting not one but two mediawiki sites for a long while. They're slow, registrations are disabled, and frequently require c55's time to fix. Just recently they were attacked by a spam bot creating hundreds of pages from...

The bug described in that thread has been fixed for years There's a syntax error in the code you posted - an erroneous ) on the first line If the issue is your changes aren't taking effect then the problem is likely that another mod is overriding your changes to the properties. Probably player_api i...

The new screens are a great idea, but the overview has some issues. Most importantly: Author names after titles “escape” layout boxes. You can see this in the screenshot below for the following games: Backrooms Test Piranesi-Restorationsprojekt Void - An empty game Modular Portals VoxeLibre (former...

My position is that the mod/game/txp forum sections should be reduced in complexity - there's no need for the topic moving process or so many subforums. So perhaps one topic per content type and a topic for game/mod development discussion. I don't support archiving package threads completely, they'r...

The term I use for this is a context: https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding ... l#contexts

I've disabled this error for now. The root cause of this is that ContentDB considers dependencies on a per package basis, it doesn't know about dependencies for each mod inside a package. I've made an issue for this here: https://github.com/minetest/contentdb/issues/560 But techage_modpack has no sp...

There's map_persistent in game.conf for this but I'm not sure whether has an effect on existing worlds

I doubt it's safe to modify world.mt on the fly

Maybe some throwaway prototypes could help for user testing before coding the REAL thing. It would be a shame to work months on it only for it to turn out as user-hostile as before. Zughy has been working on mock ups, see the most recent one here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6733#is...

I was talking about the implementation not the design. Zughy is working on overall designs in one go, these can then be implemented in multiple PRs But there is still value in concentrating on self contained sections at a time. Think of the redesigned settings and contentdb as just layouts that will...

Easiest way to check whether you're using SDL is to look below the website button on the About tab of the mainmenu

My personal support policy is previous two stable versions. So 5.8.0+. If it happens to work on earlier versions that's fine too, I don't break it for no reason Debian's software is just way too outdated, we recommend that users on Debian LTS use the flatpak to install Minetest (or appimage... if we...

Animated support is implemented already in a follow up PR so it's certainly possible

Redesigning the entire mainmenu is a monumentous task, both for the implementator and for reviewers. If done in one go, it would result in a huge PR that is unreviewable. This is why I've been redesigning sections of the main menu, starting with Settings and ContentDB. Settings and ContentDB are the...

What happened to the new animated model support (Idr the format)? It was supposed to be added in 5.9, but it's not mentioned anywhere in changelogs. Was it finally added or was it scrapped? glTF - Work is ongoing. Non-animated support is likely to be in 5.10. Animated support is possible but less l...

Can you run Minetest through Steam and use Steam Input for controls?

https://wiki.minetest.net/Gamepads#On_Desktop

On the content, the main change is that the policy no longer guarantees that the logs are no longer anonymized when shared for QA and support purpose. I think this change could come with an addition statement that these data won't be shared for any other purpose (e.g. commercial), unless law in EU ...

0.4.x has many known security vulnerabilities at this point including remote code execution, I don't recommend using it at all. Even if you patch them, your users probably won't. 5.x has received so many quality of life improvements and new capabilities that I can't imagine going back But whatever, ...

You can now open a web page in 5.9.0 using button_url or a hypertext element
