Problem solved!

I posted this as an issue on Github but I have not received much help thus far which is understandable. It doesn't seem to be a Minetest issue but an issue with my distribution. I am using Linux Mint Xfce 17.1 64bit and GCC 4.8.2. When I try and build I get this: [ 92%] Building CXX object src/CMake...

Nice PSA Wuzzy. Noted for any future projects.

It would be awesome if this could be exported to EPUB. Probably not worth the work but I would enjoy it xD.

If you're adding a tool, you will want to use the on_use callback of the tool. minetest.register_craftitem("asasas:asasas", { on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing) if pointed_thing.type == "node" then local pos = pointed_thing.above -- spawn the monster at 'pos' end ...

how to make a function happen on punching a node I am making a mod where when you punch a node, it spawns a monster on it with add_entity(pos, "monster") , changes the time to midnight through set_timeofday(0000) and becomes a different node using set_node(pos, "traps:used_monster_po...

How do you use pointed_thing? My goal is to get the player hit with a tool. I know how to find a node using the position returned with the pointed_thing but how do I get the player/entity at that location using the same idea? EDIT: It doesn't seem to return any sort of actual 'object' you are pointi...

I cannot seem to get tool callbacks working. They never seem to get called. Here is what I have: minetest.register_tool("testhammer:testhammer", { -- Register the hammer. description = "The Hammer", inventory_image = "hammer.png", tool_capabilities = { full_punch_interv...

Yeah lol. Its more designed to be a survival thing. And it is useless for teams right now since you cannot copy them yet. I plan on having the protections cost a rental fee as well that scales with the number of protections you have. So inactive players lose their land over time.

Ah lol. I thought you must have been some sort of wizard to do all that and only have one error.

Yeah that looks like the problem. Also indentation is a must for readability. Of course it is your code so do what you wish but I would suggest applying some. Example: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { ... while (x == y) { something(); somethingelse(); if (some_error) { do_correct(); } else { conti...

Ah. Thank you. I was thinking dofile was more like actually executing it like a script. Not like 'including' the file as in other languages.

I have created a custom library consisting of only helper functions. I have tried to 'include' the file using 'require "libname" ' but I get the error below: 10:53:00: ERROR[main]: ...jects/Repos/minetest/bin/../mods/modname/init.lua:35: module 'libname' not found: 10:53:00: ERROR[main]: n...

How do you use a library in the context of Minetest? I have created one and tried putting 'require "libname"' into into my init.lua but I get: 10:53:00: ERROR[main]: ...jects/Repos/minetest/bin/../mods/modname/init.lua:35: module 'libname' not found: 10:53:00: ERROR[main]: no field package...

When I built the server for my Pi B I just used the same Debian/Ubuntu instructions on the Github page. Works fine assuming you are using Rasbian.

This played an essential role in teaching me to mod Minetest. Thanks rubenwardy! Great stuff here.

How do you manually call a callback? I have modified on_place and have found that after_place_node never fires and the wiki says: Rather than being used by the core game engine itself the following callbacks are called indirectly by the default implementations of the above primary callbacks, so inst...

Starting a function 1 second after the start of server? Example: minetest.chat_send_all("Server started!") I know it's ridiculous, but tell me how to do this? I am not sure the proper way to do that. But what I would do just based on what little knowledge I have now would be to register a...

This is my first mod release and my first real attempt at using LUA and Github as a code host. This is a fork of TenPlus1's protector.... fork. A link to his forum topic is below. New Features: - KEYS - Keys are now required to protect locked doors and chests from being entered/used. Please view the...

That won't work as the default mod declares the recipe before you add the check to stop it being declared. You could try: minetest.registered_nodes["default:locked_chest_or_whatever"] = nil minetest.registered_items["default:locked_chest_or_whatever"] = nil That did the trick! I...

One more question. Can one disable an item from a base game/mod via lua? Like cleanly removing the Locked Chest from minetest_game or disabling the crafting recipe without editing the base game itself. you could write default? in depends.txt and local craft = minetest.register_craft function minete...

First, remove the filter (I assume that's what you meant by "injector", as in "filter-injector" as it's called in Pipeworks). Don't use filters to take materials out of a machine, as there is a better way. Inside, right click on the Grinder. In the dialog that pops up, there are...

Thanks! That is defiantly useful. Do you happen to have a solution to my latest question above?

Man I just keep thinking up new questions. Sorry! This is more of a mechanics question. When I played Minecraft I built machines using a Hopper to prevent Buildcraft item overflow. Is there something equivalent in Pipeworks? Or something I can rig up to do the same thing? I would like to prevent my ...

Hello! I messed around with file IO in my ranks and kits mod. I load information from a text file that lists one item (and optionally an amount) on each line. Here is the lua file (link goes to the relevant line) https://github.com/DomtronVox/minetest-RanksNKits/blob/master/init.lua#L96 I know it w...

Hmmm... I've updated both Technic and Pipeworks (From the latest master branch) and I seem to be having a problem getting grinded ores out of the MV Grinder. I place an Injector on the right side of the grinder, attach some pipe to it and flip a lever I put on the injector but it doesn't take out an...

Update your technic - there was a sort-of-API-change to pipeworks that caused machines to not connect, but I've already fixed that in technic and the other places I have access to. That said, LV machines aren't supposed to connect to tubes if I remember correctly. If those machines have textures th...

Technic machines are compatible with pipeworks right? If so for some reason the pipes will not connect to Technic machines. The LV Furnace seems to have holes in it but will not connect. Is there something I am missing? EDIT: The MV Furnace seems to work alright. Is this intentional? If so as a sugg...
