Re: Getting the direction the player is facing

radians = radians % (2 * math.pi) The angle that you get from the engine should never be greater than a turn (360° or 2pi), so unless you found experimentally that this was needed, you should remove it. Modulus/remainder (%) is quite slow, as it is the same as dividing and then using the remainder....

Re: Shared mod location for all users?

Yes, Luanti can read mods from its systemwide data directory in /usr. There are slight variations on this path according to distro, program version - whether you have upgraded from <= 5.9 "Minetest" or 5.10 "luanti" - and self-compiled vs. from the archive. For me, on Debian, sel...

Re: How do i gonna fix Entitys Model Position in the MOD

It looks like the model is too high up. I'm not sure where you got it from or if you made it, but you should be able to use software like Blender to lower it down.

Re: Getting the direction the player is facing

Luanti's units for angles are a bit all-over-the-place. Some use degrees like you would expect, others use radians like others would expect... You would do well to learn the formula for converting between degrees and radians, because you will need both if you do enough angular maths. There are 2*pi ...

Re: Feature Request: Make Pixeloid the default font

I'm not sure how to measure it, but I feel like I'm up against popular opinion. I think pixel fonts are unnecessarily hard to read, often existing at 2-3 pixels size on our modern resolutions. I'm not saying the current Arimo is good, but maybe a different font like a more fun sans serif font would ...

Re: [freepack] My quest to create a free Minecraft-style texture pack

how do i convert the pack? If you wanted to use this in an existing game for Luanti? You would have to DIY it by splitting the images out into their own files and renaming them. I recommend getting a texturepack for your target game (Mineclonia or VoxeLibre) and finding out the file names from ther...

Hello, it seems to me that I found a compatibility issue that causes misbehaviour od advtrains in new versions of Luanti. It is in function advtrains.is_node_loaded(). This function is not working properly on new engine versions (I found it in Minetest 5.8.0), so nodes (especially signals) are some...

Do you know how the Luanti server list is organised?
I feel it's like a popularity thing
The server list is open source, the ranking code is here. Age, player count and very-poor ping can all weigh in.

Re: Feature Suggestion: Texture Packs on Servers

I think that client side mods (CSMs) can change your settings, and that would include your choice of texture pack. (The idea is that the CSM would change your setting automatically, and let you save your choices in some GUI). But I'm not sure the way CSMs run works before you're already on the serve...
