I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
you could make it find the textures automatically that you don't need to add them to the file, e.g. by using for _,name in pairs(string.split(io.popen("find "..minetest.get_modpath(minetest.get_current_modname()).."/textures"):read("*all"), "\n")) do Hmmmmm.....
You might also add a timer to change the prefix, selecting from a list, since (I'm assuming from lua_api) there are only eleven possible songs on any prefix. Or choose the prefix randomly from a list, or pick one based on the time of day. Endless possibilities. API limit removed. No longer uses the...
Glad you liked it. Will be posting an update soon that will register them with the columnia mod as well. If you are watching this thread expect the update within the next few days. I am testing now and so far so good. Having the columns available opens yet a lot more capabilities. Extreme kudos to t...
Ahhhh yes forgot to add the rename to instruction in the readme. Thanks for the reminder. The actual name when installed would just be rand_play. The name you see there is what the GitHub title is. I'll add that to the read me as soon as possible. And yes, I have thought of adding some of those type...
This mod is designed to be used in creative mode. Because the nodes are easily changed added to and replaced there are no recipes available to access them. They either require the creative inventory or giveme command. Nodes are easily removed and or added to create your own custom set of blocks in a...
Random background music player Add music to the sounds directory. Minetest only accepts ogg format at this time. Do not use extra dots/periods in files names. It will not read them correctly. Add music file names to list.lua according to the format in the examples list. It will only randomly select ...
I don't want to post these mods until I ask a couple questions. 1 - Has it been done and I am I just missing it in the mods list? 2 - Would anyone find it useful to them? I am learning lua and came up with a couple simple creations in the process. Simple coding but seems useful to me. I am asking th...
I like this. Checked out the mp3 version, nice. I'm guessing the way you say "I developed for use in some opportunity" this is available for use on my server? :) I recently wrote a very simple random music player mod that this would fit in nicely. Will be posting the mod soon once I set up...
I found a mod called external command. By adding full privs to the server creators name in game, (the name used in the server config file) and using that mod, I then send an external command by script to shutdown the server. This allows everything to save correctly before running the other scripts f...
The new CreativePlaceLocked has been up and running for a reasonable time now. So far so good. I would like to thank those of you with suggestions on improving it. Measures were taken to try to minimize the griefing and it seems to have worked for the most part. The little that still occurs seems to...
Could be imposters true - I myself am newer at the server and learning as I go. Have learned a lot fast but now have spent too much time cleaning the messes. As far as other suggestions, only have so much time to spend online with this. Bills need to be paid. Maybe was a bad idea to try. Oh well,,,,...
So other server owners coming in and being grievers on my server is my servers fault? Hmmm, interesting concept there. Vanessa has interact off by default. That was the point I was making. I believe requiring that to be off by default pretty much defeats the purpose of the game. Especially a creativ...
I now know why I saw one member post that he had quit minetest because he was disappointed in the community. When server owners, who by the way have posted in here themselves about being grieved, enter other servers and themselves become the grievers, I can so completely understand where that indivi...
