N,

Hmmm...I hadn't noticed this when I did my testing. I may have to backtrack and try a few things.

Thanks for the tip. I'll see what happens.

N,

Much obliged. That had been bugging me a for a while.

Plus, it's just cool to know how other languages treat certain words.

Folks, Can someone (possibly "the man" himself) settle an ongoing discussion? How do you pronounce "Mese"? Long "e" sound (MEE-seh) or short "e" sound (MEH-seh)? I have been debating this with several individuals and there doesn't appear to be any official sou...

Napiophelios (and others), I tried altering the texture in GIMP and that was a snap. I then tweaked the hud init.lua so that I could have a reference to the .png file at the top of the code (rather than having to search for it). That worked OK also. However, if you use unified_inventory (or inventor...

TenPlus1, Actually, yes, I am. But the armor doesn't appear to have taken any damage. I've had the same set of steel armor for a LOOONG time and it's not like I've been running from every mob I see. Falling appears to have damaged the armor, but hits from mobs don't appear to damage it. I'll try to ...

TenPlus1, I noticed something yesterday while testing out an unrelated mod. The Sand Monsters (and Stone, I think) don't appear to do any damage to the player. They just appear to ram into you over and over, doing no harm. The Tree Monsters definitely hurt you, and the Dirt Monsters I think do. I'll...

Napiophelios, Yeah, I've been trying to decide if it's worth it to modify the texture. I could probably program some lua code to check for a minetest.conf reference...I just don't know if I want to spend the time right now. Pretty busy. If I commit to doing something, I post it up if it's worthy of ...

ThatGraemeGuy,

Hello and thanks for setting me straight. I thought for sure that I had pulled water from a non-source block in the past, but I guess that was my imagination. *smacks forehead*

I appreciate the help!

Krock / Topywo,

Thanks for the quick replies.

So, just to make sure that I understand correctly, I HAVE to get lava from a source block, NOT from flowing lava? Is that correct?

Just making sure before I wade too deep into my mod dependencies. Thanks for any additional help.

VanessaE, Sorry, I probably wasn't clear in my last message. Let me clarify a bit. Initially, I tried the other sign mod fork that I mentioned in my last message. That was causing the hard locks. I removed that mod, ran the system, and that seemed to remove the hangs. Later, after running the system...

I seem to be experiencing some trouble with the signs_lib. 1) The top line of text is partially cut off during initial entry. It's as though it's half-scrolled off the top of the frame. 2) Crashes. On some occasions, the program drops to desktop without warning when I'm initially entering the text. ...

Folks, Quick question for everyone. Can you get lava the same way you get water, or do you have to get lava from non-flowing source blocks? Using the default bucket, I can get water from any water node, flowing or still. However, I cannot seem to get lava from any lava node, no matter whether I righ...

twoelk, Thanks for the clarification. I have since read the on-line tutorial and have installed it, so I have a better idea about how it functions. Sorry for being such a noob there for a moment. I'll see what I can do. I did have some luck solving this problem by using the mod that removes "un...

TenPlus1, Hello and thanks for the tip. This is the second time that someone has suggested WorldEdit to solve a particular problem, so I think I'll have a look at it. By punching two nodes, I'm assuming you're referring to when I'm looking at the map, not when I'm actually in-game. Am I correct? Tha...

I'm having a small problem with chicken eggs. Over the past few hours of game time, my section of the map has been overrun by chickens. While the chickens themselves are not always present, I can't walk 2 feet without running into 18 or so eggs. Literally, it looks like snow out there on the hills. ...

Folks, Just in case this issue has plagued anyone, I wanted to cross-post a link to another discussion. Several people asked if there was a way to have mobs drop their respective items when killed by arrows, as this didn't seem to be happening. Swords worked fine, but not arrows. Here is a solution ...

Folks, Just a quick follow-up to my last post. ak399g asked why the throwing mod doesn't cause mobs to drop anything when killed. I answered: 4) On line 650-ish of the mobs api.lua, there is a statement that goes something like: "if hitter and hitter:is_player() then -- and hitter:get_inventory...

twoelk,

Hello and thanks for the tip. I'm not sure that this is exactly the solution that works best in this case, but I may have a use for WE with a related issue.

Thanks again!

Samiamnot and Calinou, Thanks for your feedback. S - That helps me to flesh out what I was thinking. I wasn't sure about referencing the function, but I thought that might be necessary. Detonation will be the real trick here, methinks. If I do a skeleton-related mob, I was initially thinking of just...

Addi, to 1a look here: https://github.com/tenplus1/mobs/blob/master/api.lua#L779 this is the great advantage of open source, that you can look into the code if the documentation bad. function mobs:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance, active_object_count, max_height, min_dist, ma...

Folks, I've been trying to learn lua and minetest by reading the code for a bunch of mods. One of the items that I'm most interested in is the bow/arrow model, as I'd like to eventually create additional mobs who use bows also, sort of like the skeletons from MC but not exactly. Therefore, I had som...

After looking at the lua code for this, I think I may have answered my own question, but I'm not sure, being new to lua. I tried to generate a bedrock layer for my existing singleplayer world--no dice. In the lua file, I noticed that the method called was something like "register_on_generated&q...

Is there a way to combine this mod with the "playertools" mod, thereby allowing the HUD to display a greater number of hotbar cells? The "playertools" mod can create the additional slots on-screen, but they don't line up with the graphical squares on the HUD and it looks really n...

Folks, I have a few questions about how this mod is implemented. I've been trying to tweak a few items to better suit my singleplayer design, but being new to MT/MC and lua, I'm in need of some assistance. 1a) After looking at the lua files for various mobs, I'm trying to understand the numbers in t...

Folks, This is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while, reading as much as I can, learning lua, and learning the game. I know some of several different languages and have been a modder for a while on several different programs, so forgive me for jumping in with both feet right away. A post ...
