Some users may use filtering but not have the "clean transparent"
filter enabled in the Minetest engine config. Bake this filter
into all images to (1) avoid the consequences of this (i.e. black
halos), and (2) possibly speed up startup time (the filter will
converge immediately).
Quench lava to amalgam and it can be moved
around like loose cobble. The tricky bit is that it
needs to STAY quenched at ALL TIMES, and is
not (currently) stackable, so water channels need
to be setup to transport it, and limited amounts
can be moved at a time.
It's also an igniter and thus will dry out sponges
left to keep it cool.
- Eliminate health and breath stat bars.
- Players NO LONGER DIE FROM INJURY.
- Players no longer lose walking speed or mobility.
- Players lose inventory slots in proportion to injury; they're
stuffed with an "injury" item, and items they displace are
ejected. Slots are displaced in random order.
- Healing rate is much faster, so players are usually mildly
inconvenienced by injury, but can soon enough pick up their
stuff and leave.
- Health and breath HUDs are gone. Health is visible based on
number of lost slots, and breath uses a vignette to narrow
tunnel vision for O2 loss.
Overall, the old health system has been more of an immersion-
breaking annoyance than anything. This allows health to get out
of the way of the primary gameplay.
UNFINISHED: Need a replacement for the old "suicide to get unstuck"
mechanic.
