Minetest 0.4.3

Windows package: minetest-0.4.3-win32.zip
Others: http://minetest.net/download.php

EDIT: I am not sure, but the automatic rendering range control doesn’t seem to work properly in this. If it seems so, report it in the comments and use the + and – keys or the R key to force it higher than it otherwise is.

Forum thread: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2953

This is mostly a bugfix release on top of 0.4.2-rc1.

0.4.1 -> 0.4.2-rc1:

  • Wool (somewhat compatible and based on jordach’s original mod)
  • Dyes (a simple mod which thoroughly defines how dyes and other mods should interact)
  • New kind of creative inventory
  • Increase node id field from 12 to 16 bits
  • /mods command
  • Fix a bug in zlib wrapper code
  • Rollback support; disabled by default; enable with “enable_rollback_recording = true” and use /rollback and /rollback_check
  • Some random bugfixes
  • Lua API:
    • minetest.get_modnames()
    • Formspec menus
    • Detached inventories

0.4.2-c1 -> 0.4.3:

  • Animated torches (obvious) and vessels (a few standard bottles) included (VanessaE)
  • Fix crash when furnace is full
  • Shift is now the default “climb down” key; can be toggled in key configuration menu
  • A few small Lua API additions:
    • InventoryList width property for having different-sized crafting grids (0.4.2 fails with this) (thexyz)
    • Added new kind of node behavior to engine via groups: disable_jump, fall_damage_add_percent, bouncy
    • Add overridable function for changing node drop behaviour
    • Move remaining chat commands to Lua (matttpt)
  • Smooth transition between deserts and grass (by some guy called Sergey Gilfanov)
  • Fix and improve key configuration menu (frozon + me)
  • Fix inventory behaviour in some cases of moving items
  • Reorganize rendering code for a bit more performance (can be from +0% to +200% FPS, depending on how slow your GPU is at switching textures)
  • Lots of other bugfixes

Version incompatibility
0.4.3 can connect to 0.4.2-rc1 servers if they have “strict_protocol_version_checking = false”; 0.4.2-rc1 cannot connect to 0.4.3 due to a stupid forward-compatibility breaking mistake (that hanged around in the code since October 2010). 0.4.2 release is skipped due to the incompatibility with 0.4.2-rc1.

    All the engine changes are great, but it would be better if there were more gameplay improvements.

    I hope u will fix the creative inventory because it is very troublesome to keep dragging the blocks out
    plus hope u can have mobs in the game cause that would make the game play all so more fun

    Great game! Soothing to play, makes me late for work. Please do not take my observations/opinions below as criticism in any way.

    It seems like the current world generator makes some of the higher mountain peaks look more like office towers rather a natural part of the mountains. Also maybe its just random, but there seemed to be more likelihood of having huge floating islands/land masses, or what have you (best way I can describe them for now) in 0.3.1. Will we see any tweaks that may allow this to happen again, or maybe even entering a seed when creating worlds? (Maybe I was just getting lucky in 0.3.1)

    In any event this game is loads of fun. I tell practically everyone I run into about. Thank you and all of the dev’s and mod makers for taking the time to make it what it is. You’ve made a lot of people really happy.

    Johdra: indeed, these “plateaux” (not sure if it’s an english word, at least it’s the french word for that kind of mountain, which does exist in real life) should perhaps be a bit rarer.

    Map generation tweaks can be done if you know C++ programming, but the long term plan of the developers (possibly) is to make the map generation settings tweakable when starting a new world.

    the comment you made about range control, on linux it works but is case sensitive.
