14:50 Blockhead256[m] how much of an attraction do you all think a shovelware "101 games for Minetest" distribution would be?
14:51 Blockhead256[m] and perhaps more interesting to some: would there be an easy way to de-duplicate mod files between games? bonus points if it works on Windows where there's no symlinks
14:56 MTDiscord       <Jonathon> windows does have symlinks. iirc the user has to enable them though
14:57 MTDiscord       <Jonathon> if your bundling everything with minetest, you could make an engine patch as to where it looks for files
15:01 Blockhead256[m] you have to be an admin to create a symlink though
15:01 Blockhead256[m] and you can't unzip symlinks either afaik
15:02 Blockhead256[m] I was thinking you could conceivably write custom main menu Lua that runs on game selection and assembles the directory - without symlinks even, for Windows support
15:03 Blockhead256[m] I think the main problem though is the era Minetest exists in now: on these old 101 games CDs, they had a menu to select the next game to launch off of a list. The ContentDB tab is basically that menu, except it loads off the internet now instead of CD-ROM
15:04 Blockhead256[m] and as for mod de-duplication: even between all the games out there, you'd probably be hard-pressed to find two that use identical versions of a mod, and you would be unlikely to want to do manual updates to them yourself
