FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

It is not best practise to encapsulate whitespace into the init.lua file but it works. And you don't learn a new language everyday. So thank you very much for fixing the problem and teaching me a bit of a new language. What language is that? Is it " "? Been wanting to learn that. no, it's...

don't worry, I haven't forgotten (I stole your code for the letter machine lol)

Hmm... I wonder how fast they actually can go...

I just want to point out that I have had no problems with minecarts (at least not on the just test server)...

It doesn't happen with normal travelnet boxes... That's right. They use diffrent mechanisms. For the travelnets, I used a nodebox that's just bigger than a node. The elevators where written by someone else who thought it'd be cleaner to use a second node - which causes other types of problems (whic...

ok, I finished the code for the letter making machine, I don't have textures or a crafting yet, but other than that, it works perfectly! local characters = {"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j",&qu...

I'lm almost done making a machine that will craft them! local characters = {"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p",...

I made a much more efficient version of the code, now you can more easily add or remove blocks: local characters = {"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m",&q...

I think it only needs common symbols like punctuation and arrows.

I've found 2 problems: 1: when inside an elevator/travelnet box, you can't open the elevator doors because the hitbox for the teleporter surrounds you That's why it has those "<>" buttons in front of the station name. Click on that button to open/close the door - like with a real elevator...

[ -How do I decrease texture resolution? I can make some 16x16 textures, and then there can be an option to either have the high-res textures or my 16x16 ones. Very much thank you if you will :)))))))))))) P.S. Do you mean like two downloads? Yes, there would be a high-res and 16x16 download, plus ...

You could alias the ores to stone, or make this into its own game, and edit the mapgen.lua in the default mod.

Are there any plans to use the 64x64 skin texture files like in minecraft? I think they're very confusing (the layout is counterintuitive), though this is just because they had to maintain compatibility with the old skins. Also, the outer layer isn't very useful anyway, so I think that it shouldn't ...

It not fair that it hits 3 enemies within a 3x3 block range. Even with mithril bolts and a mithril crossbow it is very hard to win against an air bow.

you can reduce the power by adding

to the init.lua

I haven't been able to think up of good recipes. Some other mods have used braille, but doesn't seem like a good idea, since you still need to look at a chart to see how to craft stuff. Maybe make a machine where you type in the letter/number/symbol that you want, and it makes it (though that is ki...

Well done! You've taken the first step to becoming a master modder. Don't be afraid to ask for help (in a non pestering way, and when you've tried to solve the problem yourself). The best resource in learning to mod is the community: looking at the existing mods, reading forum posts and asking. htt...

Does this have any advantage over using regular nodeboxes?

This should definitely go in homedecor!

Anyway, what are all those on_place functions? I haven't used the mod very much, but so far I haven't seen them do anything.

EDIT: This post originally started a sub-thread on the Home Decor topic, and has been split off to it's own subject. --VanessaE For any new objects I add to this mod, if they're complex shapes, they're best done with meshes rather than nodeboxes. I don't know how to make meshes, what program do you ...

Why are there so many lua files!

-- When you place the nodes they place based on what direction you are facing. I will do a little more testing to make sure I have it right. The corner rail is also based on your facedir. It places along the back and right side. Maybe you could have them autoconnect, like with mesecons. (but not as...

I would recommend using 16x16 textures, because that would fit in with the rest of the textures in the game.

I need help making a node that will play MML songs. There's only ONE lua MML player in existence, but IDK if it will work in minetest (probably not). https://github.com/legospacy/lua-mml/blob/master/mml.lua Here's my code so far: (without the music playing function) function play_song (pos, fields.s...

Is there any way to play sounds without using minetest.sound_play?
It's extremely limited (you could do more with command blocks in minecraft)

I'm guessing those textures are just temporary,

I just played around with this mod, have to say it is as amazing as it looks, but I'm seeing two problems. Corner rails don't always rotate to connect the two side rails and the floor joists seem a little finky in placing, they seem to rotate either direction without caring what they are being plac...
