[Game] VoxeLibre (formerly known as MineClone2) [0.87]

That would be great... I also don't think Gmail should be doing that; it should simply put it in the spam folder.

If Gmail were take every email that it received aimed to your inbox and put it in spam, you'd have a veeeery long list of spam emails. Sad but true for most addresses.

Also here's a screenshot of Basic Trains Subway in Mineclone2 just for fun:

[ancientmariner]

It also won't send to my school/Outlook email (although it's possible that it's the school's fault).

Anyway, the entire reason I wanted to make an account was to say that the shield sound can be heard anywhere (at least on the "Solo Un Altro Clone" server with version 0.82). It's kind of annoying to be doing something, then randomly start hearing shield noises from people fighting in the arena.

If this has been fixed in the past week or so, I wouldn't know about it.

If you cannot get on, it's good to raise stuff here. I had heard sounds on Solo Un Altro Clone and it was bugging me. This may be one of them. Things for identifying that it was the shield block sound. I'll look into it.

[PrairieWind]

Yes, just what I wanted. I wanted advtrains in MineClone2.

Why don't you upgrade your MineClone2 to the latest master. That will fix issue 1 I think.

Issue 2 has no known fix and is very old: https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/Mi ... ssues/1392
It is very rarely seen. It's hard to fix because it's hard to reproduce. The fact that you get it all the time is odd.

Did you compile your own Minetest? I ask because the first issue is only supposed to occur with PUC Lua which is not enabled by default.

[Walker]

yes i compiled it myself with the LUA bundeld with minetest

can i provide somethink to you to "better reproduce" it ?

[Walker]

> https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/Mi ... ment-48806

talks about adding "if not self.object:get_pos() then return end" ... is this allready done in 0.82.0 ?

or can i add this myself ? (if yes, where ?)

That will almost certainly not fix it.

> yes i compiled it myself with the LUA bundeld with minetest
PUC Lua (Minetest built-in Lua) is very slow compared to LuaJIT. I would definitely recommend using LuaJIT especially for a MineClone2 server. MineClone2 is slow and bloated to begin with.

> can i provide somethink to you to "better reproduce" it ?
\Please try loading this test mod I made. It hooks minetest.get_natural_light() and pcalls the original function. This theoretically should fix the problem.

0.83 - Safe and Sound

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Lai53_Ry4

Overview

Thank you for your patience waiting for this release. Our original plan was 2 months, but due to close alignment with 5.7 minetest release, we decided to release around a week afterwards to iron on out any bugs which has pushed this to closer to 3 months. We haven't discovered anything serious but if anyone experiences problems, please raise in our Discord, or issue trackers and we will investigate. We will check forum too.

This has given us time to improve this release further and it feels pretty bumper :). Our many contributors have been hard at work and done an excellent job. Thank you to every single one of you.

We would also like to say thank you to our composers for new and updated tracks (Jester, Exhale & Tim Unwin, and Dimixed). An extra special thank you to Diminixed for the work put into helping to get the volume levels balanced.

This release has had a significant focus on performance and stability in addition to gameplay. We hope our players on servers and older hardware really feel the benefit of this, but there is something for everyone including many gameplay improvements. We have broken this down into sections to make this easier to digest.

Thanks! Now my mod is properly working under stable :D

[KiloCow]

Players can choose a setting to start with a starting inventory - Michieal

Nice addition. Thanks for the great update!

give_starting_inv = true

This gave me 32 stone, 32 torches and three different iron tools. But how do I change the starting items? And starting items are only handed out upon first time server connection, right? Is it possible to give starting items also after a death/respawn?

In the following file under the game root, you will find the following:

mods/ITEMS/mcl_starting_inventory/init.lua

It currently has the following:

Code: Select all

local stuff_string = "mcl_tools:pick_iron,mcl_tools:axe_iron,mcl_tools:shovel_iron,mcl_torches:torch 32,mcl_core:cobble 32"

It should be only a 1 time thing. You can keep items on death with the following:

Code: Select all

# Normally, players drop all their items when they die. Enable this
# setting, so players always keep their inventory on death.
mcl_keepInventory (Keep inventory on death) bool false

Good to hear. Thanks for fixing it :).

[Blockhead]

Good to see another release, for which I was just a tiny bit involved too. Here's a BBcode hint: instead of making every bullet point its own [ list ], use [ * ] for each bullet point inside the list. (remove spaces, I don't know the method to write literal BBcode tags into Minetest forums; anyone got a BBcode hint for that?)

[MirceaKitsune]

Gotta say: I'm sure glad this game exists and is being carefully updated with latest Minetest. I got back into MT after hearing there's finally support for shadows and other pretty effects, but as usual Minetest Game is very simplistic: This seems to be the highest quality compilation of mods so far, adding not too little and not too much all in harmony with everything else, latest Git version looks and feels really great. It does follow Minecraft to the letter perhaps a little too much, though of course this was always the official goal... seeing it branch in its own unique direction would be nice, but in any case I'm glad a complete modpack like Mineclone is available.

[flegel]

Thank you for version 0.83,

i have a problem, the chickens can pass through the stone wall.

I use minetest 5.7 sever and client.

Thank you for version 0.83,

i have a problem, the chickens can pass through the stone wall.

I use minetest 5.7 sever and client.

What do you mean, they walk through a stone wall?

I don't think that is a new thing. I think it's a lag related thing where it doesn't realise there is a collision until it's too late. If anything 0.83 should make this happen less.

Also mobs when growing can clip into walls (not sure if it counts for chickens). It often helps to have mobs surrounded by fences, then walls, so if they clip into fence they don't die, but don't escape.

Not ideal, but hopefully at some point, we'll get to the bottom of this.
