Minetest 5.0.0

[trev]

Ubuntu Xenial is now at 5.0.0

[migdyn]

Wow! Time to update my mods and games!

[migdyn]

depends.txt and description.txt have been deprecated. How do I use the depends and description values in mod.conf?

Like this?:

Code: Select all

depends = mod0, mod1, mod2
description = "Hello World!"

Hello World is written without brackets. Yes, we need some examples.

[migdyn]

Aaaah I need brackets... This would be okay then:

description = {"Hello World!"}

[rubenwardy]

Code: Select all

depends = mod0, mod1, mod2
description = Hello World!

[migdyn]

Thanks!
And there's no characters from other languages. (in translations)

[Linuxdirk]

Code: Select all

depends = mod0, mod1, mod2
description = Hello World!

Is there a way to get multi-line descriptions like before?

[migdyn]

\n maybe?

[migdyn]

How do you add translations for games and mods?

Nope.

[Honeypot]

The bug that I reported in release candidate-2 is still not fixed and it was not present in 0.4.17(though I don't know about 0.4.16).

[Wuzzy]

The bug was not reported on the Minetest issue tracker, therefore it does not exist.

[Honeypot]

Sorry I didn't know,I am new to the community.
From next time I will see to it,so for this time can any of the older members see to it (it is related to the Minetest game not the engine).

Just make an account at git, I also learned and start now slow ... not bad, and not so difficult. Also you get informed if something requested
Good Luck - i stuck with technic newer versions on 5.1.0-dev ... and just did a issue

It's a duplicate of an existing bug that was deemed not a blocker

[Festus1965]

so seams waiting for better 5.0.1 ? for those still on 0.4.17.1 or similar

[gigomaf]

When can I expect updated Android version of Minetest? Current client seems to be incompatible. I can't connect.

[Honeypot]

I don't know if it have been already found or not but in the Android build provided in this forum topic,
the contentdb can't be accessed and on clicking the option 'browse online content' an error occurs instead.Have a look at the part of debug.txt that I am providing below.(on 1st and on 2nd try respectively)
