Re: Post your modding questions here
I'm doing some tests with node data, and writing down my findings, but I came across an error. Here is my tools.lua script in my sketchy mod: minetest.register_tool("sketchy:meta_rod", { description = "Meta Rod", inventory_image = "sketchy_meta.png", on_use = function(i...

Re: Post your modding questions here
Thanks for all the advice there Will it drop as "fried bug" item if it touches a torch? :D And now I need to figure that out somehow. So far the only joke thing in it is that you get a captured stick "bug" by using the recipe of Jar and Stick I'd check node at position for the t...

Re: Post your modding questions here
1. check a specific pixel on the player texture to determine character type (using alpha channel) There's no way to read image data in the engine. An alternative is to associate data with each texture (I won't go over how to load and/or define that data) separately of the texture file itself. Excep...

Re: Post your modding questions here
Is there a way to make an item that drops itself when broken by hand, but drops a different item when broken with the proper tool? use get_wielded_item() if it = a specific item, drop one item else, drop another. Not sure how it would exactly work, but that's the best I can find with my skill. Tryi...

Re: Post your modding questions here
Because I wrote a tree generating procedure that uses loops for creating a tree and modified a couple lines I copied from it. I'm playing around with modding trees and adding trees using the default nodes and active block modifiers. Thinking about starting with NPCs, but path-finding has always been...

Re: Post your modding questions here
How exactly would I have minetest.get_node work to ensure a node needs space to spread, or only does a certain action if a certain node is above it? I tried looking into it when looking at the tutorial guide for modding but it doesn't seem to explain anything beyond, "Just use minetest.get_nod...

Re: [Modpack] Creatures MOB-Engine [2.3.1] [cme]
Thanks, I'll be looking over this and might use it in a game. Might even try adding some of my own mobs to it.

Re: [Mod] Farming Plus [farming_plus]
If you are still trying to figure out how to get/make seeds for the plants; might I suggest crafting them? Plant/produce + dirt or stick to get seeds. Sticks would be better since they are renewable.
