Luanti Forums

For any users looking for the files post-renaming to Luanti, these directories would now be named org.luanti.luanti, in the same locations.

I was downloading the flatpack version of luanti, did a thing with cmake to make it work (I should really stop using chatGPT for help with file downloads), Yes, you should instead use a search engine for a lot of tasks. Here is the search I put into DuckDuckGo to help me write this answer: site:for...

Hi and welcome, I highly recommend two things first (1) Get an up-to-date version - compile from source (then cpack -G DEB && sudo dpkg -i) or flatpak (2) Read up on Mineclonia's Minecraft-clone map generator which has its own biome system that is (according to the author) quite superior.

I'm running on Devuan Chimaera and compiling went off without any issues. It does say development build and i'd prefer it was a release build. Is there a compiler option to get rid of the development options. I just want what i had with flatpak but without the need for having flatpak. You may want ...

I'm working on making some of the formspecs more beginner/kid friendly for casual users (non-railfans). But for some things I'm not sure what the purpose is even after looking at code. Long-term, I think it's been said that we would like setting up signals to be as easy as placing signals in OpenTT...

Luanti mods do not ordinarily touch native code. To add more capabilities, if you really need them, one should use external Lua modules like this mod.

I just came across this mod. Please note that all of my mods are licenced under MIT. All the code you took from me must be under the same licence if I am thinking right. Please change the licence and if you could be so kind credit me for the work. Thanks Don, at the time this mod was made (2018), y...

Another thing that i already knew but i was not able to explain very well and someone felt like they should explain, sorry...

Don't be, we all should not be afraid to ask for help just because we might look a bit silly. I've done it enough times myself anway, and yet I survive!

I don't mean code. I mean the actual texture files themselves, both in advtrains/textures and in advtrains_train_track/textures. I noticed it when I edited textures and found they still loaded from elsewhere. Huh, I never noticed that before. You're right, dtrack and track (the really old 45° syste...

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. I should h...

Hello, I have some questions about register and passwords on server: 1) How can I register some playername and password when is activated whitelist (without deactivate it, restart, register, active, restart)? Some whitelist mods will only read the list once on server load, which would make that imp...

Hello. I'm completely new to Luanti and i tried to register a node. It kinda worked, i can place it in the world, but i can't break it or set the node using the set_node command. core.set_node is not a command, it's a function to be called. A chat command [1] [2] is what would run on-demand. This i...

This can happen if the server lags too severely and the digtron is running too quickly. Often you will notice the right-click menu on the nodes is shifted from where it really should be an e.g. your digger heads appear to have inventories.

REAL QUESTION Is there some reason we need duplicate textures (names at least) in both advtrains and advtrains_train_track? Can you point to the code you're reading that is telling you this? In general, from what I recall, the default tracks have 4 materials: sleepers, rails, (invisibly) overhead c...

Wait, why are the updates even using mm-dd-yyyy format dates? Who uses dashes and that order? Why are we using a USA-specific order on an international forum? (May I humbly suggest yyyy-mm-dd or the use of month names)

That aside, it is good that the content keeps getting added to

GreenXenith's should still work.

I noticed that the player can sit sideways when a passenger on the Basic Trains subway, but I've been digging through the code and can't figure out how to do it myself. It would be nice if the sideways seats on my subways could have sideways passengers to match. Is this a built-in AdvTrains thing f...

Not necessarily the most impressive screenshot, but I just updated my Better Command Blocks mod to support multiple commands.

Aaaand apparently it isn't letting me attach the image for some reason. Never mind.

Is it time for this meme again already?

Hello for everyone. I have a question, related with "huge caves". How deep the game can create stone blocks? WIKI contains information about total size of the level. The cube with 60 000 blocks at X:Y:Z. 60912 is the exact number along one entire axis I was try to digging down at many pla...

My first problem was that sheep couldn’t regrow wool in arid biomes, since dry dirt couldn’t regrow grass. A silly situation considering sheep are supposed to accept poor conditions. ^^ Sorry to have not looked at everything in depth here, but this reminds me of how dry dirt on dry grass spread was...

Requesting to move Discovery Maps from WIP to releases https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?t=32252 Please state your dependencies or "no dependencies" Please mention a media license - even if you have no separate license, please mention it. You have screenshots in the repository that w...

once in this topic someone, maybe Blockhead, dont remember who, did say that we could try to host a private server with metrotest. i thought a bit and since there are free hosters around, even in this forums, we could make a private server? I wish you luck, but the requirements for Advtrains with a...

Hello, I'm making my own game but it seems that despite there being no code in my game theres a few map generators already defined? Obviously they dont work since all the nodes they use arent defined but why are they even showing up? Shouldn't mapgens be defined per game (or mod)? Those are defined...

Reminder that Luanti's protocol is completely unencrypted, so you had better be okay with CSI, ASIO, FSB, whoever reading your messages 8D
