FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Okay, so I'm working on a delayer for mesecon, and I'd like a 3 setting switch. Kind of like the one in minecraft. The only requirement for this texture(s) is that there needs to be the "moving" switch, having 3 different position to let the player know which position it is in.

Hey Jeija, is it possible for a single node to be both a receptor and an effector?

Ah, okays. Well, that's okay. I mean come on, mod development for a game that hasn't even hit alpha/beta stage yet isn't too important. (I said alpha stage, because to "most" gaming companies, this does not have all it's intended features and systems, where as an alpha stage game will have them, but...

Okay found a bug, sticky movestones return to regular movestones after the first use. Well, its not a bug if that was intentional.

Alright, for what ever reason it is working now. I do not know why. But alright. Nothing has changed (since adding "{type="node, name="delayer:light_on_set"}).

add_node(pos,{type="node",name="delayer:light_on_set"})

Tried, and still same error + crash.

Alright, so I'm testing a few things for a new mod/addition to another mod. How ever, as apart of the test, I am removing a node and adding another one in it's place. But minetest keeps telling me that it is expecting a string, when there is now. However, there is a string. minetest.env:add_node(pos...

:D I have created a basic one time delay system. I'll post how-to later. I'll be working on creating a delay system that isn't one time for now.

(note: this time delay is not another mod, or a change to the mesecons, it is just a delay system using material already in the mod)

I just realized something pretty cool. When chests are moved, all their items are deleted. And with a button you can make an easy way to get rid of excess blocks like dirt and cobble without having to make a bunch of chests to fill them up with. So if you can fix the bug without doing option 1 or 4...

Okay, but would it solve your "vertical" problem though? (I am just curious since I don't know how drawtypes actually work :P)

Question, wouldn't the drawtype 'torchlike' be better suited instead of 'raillike'? Since 'torchlike' changes depending on where it is placed on a node (sides/top/bottom)? Then you would be able to change how the mesecon looks when placed on the side (side mainly because that is your "vertical" prob...

I love it , but I guess you should use the default texture and not a copy of default texture. by this way secret passage stay secret even after customization of the default textures may be there is a constraint that avoid a mod can't use texture from another mod ? Great idea . Well, the reason why ...

Times out. Won't let me on.

Updated mod.

Hmmm :D good idea!

You can change them. They were just something I threw together quickly.

Want to hide your treasury? Want to make your house/castle/home look smaller than it really is? Well come try this simple mod! XP Haha, okay okay. Enough joking around. Anyway, this is a simple mod that will create false wall, which you can pass through, but not see through. :D Default False Nodes: ...

Found the problem. On the command prompt (which is only disabled for half a second) I noticed something referring to the Direct(w/e it was here). Which my system is known for having problems with sharing it. My web browser was eating it up.

Nothing.

Okay, so after exiting by mistake, I get these two errors 23:37:47: INFO[main]: Parsing configuration file: "C:\Users\***\Desktop\minetest-0.4.dev-20111209-1-win32\bin\..\minetest.conf" 23:37:47: INFO[main]: Settings: Setting not found: "enable-unittests" 23:37:47: INFO[main]: Settings: Setting not ...

Question, what is a drawtype?

Yes

It's still timing out. I don't know why O.o

What is the limit on the Main atlas? Why do I ask? Because I and getting this problem below 23:19:32: INFO[main]: TextureSource::buildMainAtlas() 23:19:32: INFO[main]: Creating texture atlas out of textures: "default_apple.png" "default_bookshelf.png" "default_brick.png" "default_cactus_side.png" "d...

Ohhh okays :D then I'll just wait till you finished. Should add a current status of the server to your first post, so like "Server Status: Down" ;D lol

Still timing out. Oh also Jordan, question. in your default init.lua file, is there a line under the creative inventory with "minetest.add_to_creative_inventory('node "default:fence" 0')"? I want to get and make sure its not just me. (the fence node was named incorrectly for some reason)

Don't know why, but the connection keeps timing out.
