  • Custom game handler wont extract
    1 project | /r/nucleuscoop | 18 Apr 2023
    I downloaded the minecraft java edition game handler and modified the .js file to fit my game (minetest) before zipping it again and renaming the .zip file to .nc. Now when I want to extract the newly created handler to connect it to the game binary, it gets stuck at 100% extracting.

  • Loading Texture Packs Takes So Long?
    1 project | /r/Minetest | 18 Sep 2022
    GIMP saves large amounts of metadata by default. You can disable this in the "Export image as PNG" dialog but best would likely be to run your textures with optipng which losslessly optimises PNG images and removes this superfluous metadata. Minetest Game has a Bash script that runs optipng with the optimal settings on an entire directory recursively.

  • MineClone 2 0.79.0 is out with support for minetest engine 5.6
    1 project | /r/Minetest | 18 Sep 2022
    So when I updated DFCaverns, the first thing I did was point all of those references to a single "df_dependencies" mod. Then that mod did all the heavy lifting of figuring out which game it was being run with and supplying the version of the asset that belonged to that game.

    Because the magical jackhammer sounded fun, I just finished implementing it in the mineclone compatibility branch I've been working in. It's basically a point-and-click explosion maker. Results in a bit of a ragged corridor when used to dig through Slade, but given that previously you had to bludgeon your way through with much less precise TNT blasts it's still an improvement. I'll play around with it some more. One drops when a slade breacher is finished its job and self-destructs. Note that you'll need the latest versions of subterrane and mapgen_helper if you want to sync from that repository, the default method of synching git doesn't get those so you may have to do get them separately.
  • Why Is This Game So Addicting?
    1 project | /r/Minetest | 13 Aug 2022
    I kind of retired from modding for a while (just because other interests came to the fore and I was busy) but the past month or so I've renewed my interest largely because the issues list for DFCaverns got long enough to guilt me into coming back. But as I'm fixing bugs I'm finding yet more new details and features to add along the way, so the fun's come back. So strange as it may be, if you enjoy DFCaverns then by all means complain about it and tell me what it's missing. :) I could particularly use insight into its "balance", since as mentioned I don't actually play it.
