Any pointers will be GREATLY APPRECIATED, ANY AT ALL ; )

qwertymine3, Thank you so much, I knew I was missing something while creating the material in Blender. I had totally skipped unwrapping the mesh, silly me! Ok, so I just learned that using one texture and assigning only part of it (a quarter) to one face of the box, and the rest of the texture to th...

. . First I was getting this black mesh: https://sites.google.com/site/javierwebfolio/_/rsrc/1475422671821/temp/poster_black.JPG With this script: minetest.register_node ("poster:nellys_poster", {drawtype = "mesh", mesh = "nellys_poster01.b3d", description = "Nelly...

Ok, it's been solved!
Thanks to Napiophelios.
It was a matter of getting a build from sfan5.

Thanks for replying guys! :)

Napiophelios,
That worked! I got a daily-stable build from sfan5.

Thank you so much!

For now I have been using Windows 10. And I just don't know why I can't see any mods I place.
Before, in Ubuntu I didn't have this problem.

...This package includes notepad++, gimp, and a mod folder with an init.lua, depends.text, and a textures folder. Download: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/82668184/Moddinghelper.zip ... Hi InfinityProject, Any chance you could update that link? I am getting this now: "Restricted Content This file is...

rubenwardy! Hey man! I just started reading your Minetest Modding Book ! I love it! Thanks a bunch for sharing it :) I added the missing closing parenthesis. Thanks for that. I changed the mod's name to "poster", it used to be "nellys_poster" (same as the node). I am not includin...

Hi all, This is my mod dir structure: https://sites.google.com/site/javierwebfolio/_/rsrc/1475161239018/temp/mod_structure.JPG And this is my init.lua script content: minetest.register_node("nellys_poster:nellys_poster", { drawtype = 'mesh', mesh = 'nellys_poster.b3d', tile_images = {"...

Hi addi, thanks for sharing your builds :)

I installed your "Minetest for Windows".
When I ran it, everything in the world looked red.
Would there be a simple way to fix that?

Thanks addi,

DPC

Great, thanks a bunch Vanessa :)

Hi Vanessa, I am trying to make some assets/props, but I could use some help with LUA. Do you happen to know where I could find a few templates to get started? Since I would not use LUA for anything else, I'm finding it hard to justify learning it from scratch, if you know what I mean. But if I coul...

This is amazing! Thank you so much for the help :) And thank you kindly for the offer to make tutorials. I'll take a rain check for now, I would not want to abuse your generosity. I'll start with the links you shared :) I am doing this whenever I can, so it might be a while before I come back with m...

Excellent! Thank you both for this info, it's certainly putting me in the right direction. Where should I go to learn the right settings for each item? I have noticed some are consider nodes, but not all. And some will sit nicely only on a small table while others will on a taller one, etc Thanks ag...

Thanks for all your help Nathan. Hey, where can I find Guidelines to make Minetest props, to ensure they'll fit with the overall look. Clearly the most noticeable point is that things should look blocky. This being said, is there a specific number of cubes per whatever to use? I hope you see what I ...

Right-clicking on the add-on file link, to choose "Save link as...", to download the .py file (as I was doing), unfortunately, it gives an HTML file instead. Therefore the solution is to just click on the same link so that it shows its code. Then copy all the code into a non-formatted text...

At this point there's no "odd question" ;)
According to the Ubuntu Terminal, Python 2.7.12 is installed already.

Did as you recommended, still same issue.
I added this as an issue in the GitHub page of that addon
Hopefully it'll be resolved soon.

Good idea Nathan! Here's what I got: javier@javier-Predator-G3-710:~$ cd Applications javier@javier-Predator-G3-710:~/Applications$ cd blender-2.77a javier@javier-Predator-G3-710:~/Applications/blender-2.77a$ ./blender connect failed: No such file or directory Read new prefs: /home/javier/.config/bl...

No, that's the problem: the add-on won't show in the list.
I have tried Blender 2.77, and 2.71.
The only reason I tried 2.71 is because it was recommended in the instructions to use Blender for Minetest.

Nathan, thanks a bunch for your very complete reply. I have been installing it both ways: the way you suggested (using the "install from file..." button), and by manually putting the file in the addons folder. Either way it won't show in the File/Export menu. For both .py files :( I am run...

Hi all, I installed the B3DExport.py file in Blender 2.71, but I don't see it available inside Prefs/Addons from within Blender. Neither it is available when going in File/Export/ I've got the file from here: https://github.com/RainWarrior/B3DExport What am I overlooking? Thanks in advance guys :) DPC

Thanks for the complete explanation Vanessa. Now I have a better grasp of how some things work.

On a different note, there's a bookshelf I can't remove. Why would that be?

Thanks

I see.
About craft items, you say that we "can't place them at all".
Then how do you use them? What's their purpose?

Another question :) I used Shift as you suggested. This also worked to place a banana on a table top. However, this would not work for a pie. Then I wanted to put the banana back, and only a giant banana is placed above the table, like floating. I have tried from different angles and I can't place i...

Hi Vanessa, My daughter and I are having a ball with your creation (Dreambuilder) :) I have a question: There's a computer desk, when I attemp to place something on it, a small grey window pops up with some items on the lower half of the window. The upper half is empty. I would guess that I should b...

Thanks a bunch KCoombes! :)
I found my lost place!

Hi all! I found this command here Teleportation Teleportation is the immediate displacement of any player to a given position. All of the following commands require the “teleport” privilege. /teleport <x>,<y>,<z> - Teleport yourself to given coordinates. But where do I obtain my present coordinates,...

Thanks for that Alt. Tester :)
I guess what I needed was the coordinates?
I found this: 12,14,-45
Now how to use them?

I am in Singleplayer, creative.

I decided to go around exploring, next thing I know I got lost :(
I have enabled flying and fast already, and I still can't find my way.

Any ideas?
