Krock, what is Luanti going to do as Google begins to lockdown Android? Will you join the effort against Google so people can still enjoy Luanti on Android?

What do you think Luanti should do?

1. luanti-5.16.6872576 This build outright crashes on any of my machines (win64). I messed up some files when updating the compiler. There's now a new build above that will work. 2. luanti-5.16.0-d5fc9a1 When I test this build with one of the games (Backrooms Test by SumianVoice), a bunch of red er...

We don't have anyone actively testing Luanti on NetBSD, but as far as I know it works fine.

Indeed. It's essential that a security patch does nothing else, so that nobody has a reason not to upgrade. The only other two changes we included are two low-risk bug fixes. By the way since it's been asked a few times: All previous Luanti versions are vulnerable . That includes 5.14.0, 5.13.0, 5.1...

The "race condition" here is that any other mod could be doing the same ore registration trick in register_on_mods_loaded and you can't really ensure that your mod is the last one. This is relevant for the functioning of your idea generally, but not the problem you described, since you're ...

I at least got rid of the dead sites now.

A simple callback that will work here is core.after : core.after(0, core.set_node(vector.new(0,0,0), ...)) -- the completion of this line is left as your exercise 0 meaning no delay, but still after the game has begun and all mods are loaded. That's not the correct syntax for a callback. Doing that...

I think the most realistic way anyone can debug this issue would be if you were to upload a copy of your world.
No promise that I have time to look at it soon, however.

Yes. On the client collision detection can run for: particles, entities and the local physics.

maybe we should continue 0.4.x alongside 5.x as a seperate path ?

The core developers have no interest in doing this.
If you mean the community then there's been more than enough time for someone to step up and maintain a fork of Minetest 0.4. To my knowledge this hasn't happened.

As for the profiler screenshots, I've taken them at world start and when the FPS is lowest: [...] From the FPS information alone I can tell you that it's not a rendering issue, since 7ms rendering time should get you about 142 FPS. What is very suspicious is that the profiler is saying that the cli...

I know that there's a solution already but I want to note the following: If you voluntarily use a 7 year old software version (which is not a good idea) you really can't expect to still receive help and support for it. Minetest 0.4.17 also has several publicly documented game-, security- and privacy...

There's a Github issue for this: https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/issues/16621

Which version of Luanti are you using? What are your engine settings (especially graphical effects)? Did you try changing them? Did you try disabling the mods you have? Not sure what the FPS actually is, but it's not something I can just get over and play through. You can see the exact FPS by pressi...

Thanks to the dedicated work of a few people we have been able to port the dynamic shadow shaders to Open GL ES, which means that you can now use them on Android! teaser.jpg How do I test? Download and install the APK from here (24MB). Go to Settings → Effects → Enable dynamic shadows. If this optio...
