User:Wuzzy

It’s me, Wuzzy!

I speak German and English.

I am active in this Wiki and in the Minetest forums (same user name). I'm the author of countless mods and even a few games. I make sure the German translation of Minetest stays up-to-date. I sometimes did a few small contributions to Minetest itself, enough to appear as “active contributor” in the Minetest credits in version 0.4.16. :-)

In Minetest, I usually only play in Minetest, but I sometimes appear in a few servers as well.

You can contact me via XMPP: Wuzzy2@jabber.ccc.de

I gladly take any bitcoins you have lying around. :-). My Bitcoin address: 17fsUywHxeMHKG41UFfu34F1rAxZcrVoqH

These mods are not really useful in their own, but they can be depended on by modders to get a framework for interesting features.

Abandoned games and mods

This section is only here for historic interest. These are games and mods which either never got completed, I no langer care much about about finishing them or they simply have become obsolete:

Mods:

• Basic HUD [basic_hud]: (no usage/demand seen since years)
• Player Model [playermodel]: Player model as a standalone mod (obsolete since 5.0.0; MTG comes with player_api mod)
• Shifted Blocks [shifted_blocks] (lost interest after 1st release)
• Pseudo-Nodes [pseudonodes] (lost interest)
• Surprise Blocks [tsm_surprise] (lost interest)
• The Origin [origin] (somewhat deprecated by Spawn Builder)
• Disable sneak glitch [no_sneak_glitch] (obsolete)
• Allow zooming [allow_zoom] (obsoleted in 5.0.0)
• Player Tools [playertools] (I believe this is my very first mod. Now outdated, clashes with core commands, I am no longer happy with the command structure and there are tons of better command mods out there)

Games:

• Weird (too ambitious, never really took off, mainly because of lack of inspiration, good ideas and motivation to work out a good and detailed game design [it's harder than you think!])

Work on Minetest

I have contributed various smaller and larger features and bugfixes to Minetest (the engine) over the years, although I am not a core developer. Some of the more notable changes include:

• Various improvements to the Lua API documentation
• Made builtin translatable
• Complete rework of Minimal development test to include many more useful and structured things to test, including example nodes, tools, items, commands etc. Renamed it to Development Test
• German translation
• Lua API improvements:
  • Fix broken pathfinder (minetest.find_path)
  • Fix incorrect rotation of falling nodes
  • Decoupled liquid/flowingliquid drawtypes from liquidtype
  • Allow to modify and disable fall damage per-player with armor group
  • Node group disable_repair
  • Added disable_settings to game.conf
  • wallmounted support for plantlike and plantlike_rooted nodes
  • minetest.is_creative_enabled
  • Item eating sound

See my list of closed PRs for a complete list (note: not all of these were actually accepted).
