NOTE: Previous bugs should now be fixed
This is a personal build of Luanti game engine to use it as a AppImage. I followed all build defaults from the wiki on github, so, you should not notice a difference between the flatpak or deb version.
It will only work on ubuntu 20.04 or newer, as Luanti 5.11 does not support any older Ubuntu version. btw, if you got any errors about shared libraries, try to install these packages: `sudo apt install libluajit-5.1-dev libvorbisfile3 libopenal-dev libopengl0 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libpq-dev libjsoncpp25 libjsoncpp-dev -y`
Disclaimer:
The start script which starts Luanti inside the AppImage, sets `vblank_mode=0` which should fix the issue were you cant set the max fps above 60.
I also added a small branding when you start the game using a terminal, but nothing too intrusive
Here you will find the files i used to create that, and more: https://codeberg.org/frutinha/luanti-appimage

Does NOT work on Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 24.04 (Linux Mint 22.1 actually). Thanks for attempting to make an Appimage of this! will be great when it works. My suggestion is to Create the Appimage on Ubuntu 16.04 (this is the standard way for Universal compaibility) or even 18.04. and include the missing library. Here is the message I get in the Terminal when I drop the Appimage into MATE Terminal: chromium@bionic-pc:~$ '/home/chromium/Downloads/03-09-25/luanti-5.11.0.AppImage' -- AppImage by: Frutinha -- <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Contact me by using any of this methods: 1.

Hello, thank you for your reply, i had no feedback before to know if that actually work on other computers, so this is really important to me. I build, and packed all this on linux mint 22.1 as well, i'm not sure, but maybe this still needs the compilation dependencies even before the build? i would try to install then just to make sure, theres a convenient list of then on luanti wiki. I will see what i can do about that, thank you so much for your suggestion!
