Version 2.2.3 released!
I am very happy to report that the Portuguese (Brazil) translation has been completed by Emilly MS (emilly_msh_msh).
This update also includes translation updates by syl (French), Cwpure (French) and gellogonovato (Spanish).

Thanks for your hard work!

I didn’t expect such a heavy reaction to this, and I don’t understand why. Obviously, games can "abuse" this feature but you’re overlooking that Luanti technically “allows” games to do various other things to heavily annoy players. Luanti already gives games plenty of opportunity to be nas...

In the next version, you will be able to force certain HUD elements to be displayed always, i.e. they cannot be hidden with the "Toggle HUD" key.

This can be useful for some full-screen effects.

About last month or so, GitHub has been silently reverting commits due to a catastrophic bug: https://trunk.io/blog/what-happens-if-a-merge-queue-builds-on-the-wrong-commit (please excuse and ignore the AI slop image at top, it is not relevant to the post) What ELSE needs to happen until people jump...

jp (kilbith) and I have been working on adding hypertext support to Luanti for a while now. This will allow games and mods to enhance tooltips with more eye-candy. https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/pull/14728 Above PR is basically finished, we’re basically waiting for reviews. If this gets approv...

Since 5.16.0, we can skip item wield animations with a new argument in player:set_wielded_item. That way, I managed to properly implement/fix the compass wieldhand animation in Repixture. Now, when the compass needle changes, the annoying "up/down" movement is gone, only the needle moves (...

I know I’m several months late to the party but I would have suggested my own game Lazarr! because it’s now a completed game and I worked so hard on the latest updates and levels. Maybe next year?
(If you remember the game from the game jam, it’s not anything like that anymore.)

moonflower.jpg I am happy to announce the Moon Flower finally made it into Repixture after all those years. It will appear in the next release. But the mechanics will be different: Moon flowers only bloom under full moon, digging the open moon flower drops a seed which you can plant to grow another...

I have no idea how on Earth I managed to not catch the very obvious flowing liquid bug of 5.16.0 earlier. I even tested that version! xD EDIT Re Android: I agree that Luanti devs (or any free software dev, really) should NOT obey Google’s orders by surrendering their private info just to prevent Lua...

I’m confused by “Main menu: Add server list sort filter (cx384)”. How does it work? The tooltip for the server list search bar says: “sort:[-”. No explanation at all. And if I enter “sort:[-” literally, not much seems to change. And nothing is sorted. Huh??? EDIT: Seems like a bug: https://github.co...

Repixture 3.19.0 has been released! (nickname: “The Second Village Update”) I am very happy to present to you version 3.19.0 of the game. This is a BIG update and brings improved villages, trading and so much more. villagepromo.jpg Highlights Major village overhaul: villages respect the terrain, ge...

Thank you, Krock.

Changelog correction:

New physics override step_up_mode to control the stair walking behavior (jordan4ibanez)

It’s actually an object property, not a physics override.

IMHO it would be better to announce release candidate with the changelog done, so that people willing to test new features and changes know what to look at. Agreed. This would also be in the core devs’ best interest, after all. If you give the testes the tools to actually test your release candidat...

Other changes I found: player:set_wielded_item(item, true) skips the item change animation. This allows games and mods to fix the bad compass animations when changing the compass needle HUD text size can now be multiplied by fractional numbers , e.g. 1.5 now increases size by 50%. Previously, only w...

... we can finally have proper compasses that don’t annoyingly bounce up and down in your wieldhand all the time. I thought this was already possible by changing the metadata on the compass item to a new metadata image each time the player's direction changes instead of an entirely different compas...

Unironically, boxes no. 0 and 1 would be ultra interesting for lore purposes tho. :D

EDIT: Added parcours box categorizations for boxes 1001 to 1500 plus 5 bonus boxes: viewtopic.php?p=450652#p450652

We can now finally skip the "item change" animation when setting the player’s wielded item. This means we can finally have proper compasses that don’t annoyingly bounce up and down in your wieldhand all the time. https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/pull/17020/changes (And yes, I tested it...

Tbh the proposed changes are not nearly enough to justify a complete new fork. This stuff sounds like it makes more sense as a mod or modpack. I don’t know how "moddable" those games in allowing you to add new metal tiers. But even if not, I think it would be better to propose a change to ...

Ah, I already suspected I caught you in the middle of the "level access redesign" and this is not the Final Say(TM) yet. This explains so much. Some ideas: 1) Move all levels and series to a central place instead of scattering them all over the map where ALL teleporters can be clearly seen...

Thanks. I’ve been waiting years for this.

Work on the next version is going smoothly. I think my plan for this version is to finally bring villages to a polished stage, and hopefully villagers, too. Here’s what I did in the meantime: Village terrain overhangs are now much less aggressive Stone villages added (in dry biomes) Simple walls add...
