FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

For now, we use alternative method that is displaying the craft guide using itemframes or shared locked chest. For itemframes, it causes lag when too many guides are created as each itemframe creates entity/object and we need at least 10 itemframes each guide, 9 for the grids and 1 for output. You ...

I'd argue that a callback type implementation may help solve this problem in an easier way than groups. Groups still mean that every node has to determine how to handle the items (reject? move to secondary list? eject?) A callback would solve this problem - every node could just call the call back o...

I upgraded the conversion test map I have to 1.11 and redid a ton of stuff, including node rotations and flowerpots (using my own flowerpot mod now! no more homedecor!) Fixed tile entites (signs!) while we're at it, although some are still not converting well (maybe I need to re-place them first).

Was it correctly done?

yup! Will review but looks good so far!

This shouldn't be too hard to implement: - os.time() is available in lua and gets you the real clock time - you can easily capture joining players (minetest.register_on_joinplayer() - kicking players can be done: minetest.kick_player() so all you'd have to do is run a function once in a while (every...

yes

The conversion is entirely automated. I just run a script. It does a few coloring things based on minetest colors that doesn't always entirely fit because MC doesn't have certain stones as you point out.

any value over 15 is nonsense, the engine ignores it.

I don't understand why you chose a 32px texture pack at all, it is in direct conflict with your stated goals of emulating the original version as much as possible. It also makes it much harder for texturepackers to undo. Please consider making 16px the default and shipping your 32px texture pack as ...

Any help?

I don't even know what `checkdir` is, and I certainly don't think it's a linux thing.

I've updated PixelPerfection to v36, so if all you want is a new copy of it, just go here:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14289

Updated to v36.

So let's see if I understand this correctly: having the crafting grid and armor slots on the same inventory screen is no longer possible due to the way minetest works now?? Because that's what I dislike about the other inventory mods, different tabs for everything, and other features I don't use. 3...

You'd only have to call the API functions to make the player do one of the moves.

This mod doesn't work with playeranim . Perhaps Rui can help with a merge patch? The problem is that the interfaced used by playeranim are minetest_game player.lua API's ... and they're terrible. Plus head animation should be a client-side modding thing, not server-side. So I actually don't even wa...

Is this correctly done? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/450c30526f62f88edb4e917a143d2a6c#file-block_modified_reversingzinsteadofx-py well, it works, but it does remove all the custom door/water code I added... Did you do that on purpose or did you just edit an older version? There's some great gi...

In other words, which could I leave out because they are optional or Minetest will generate them itself if they are missing? Everything is optional. I have a test case that runs a minetest server only from an empty folder. So all you'd have to do is create (on Linux) ~/.minetest/worlds/new_world/ a...

Hourray! After spending many night hours I think I got it the right way around... My first try was to change the " extract_slice " and " extract_slice_half_bytes " functions to read the nodes the other way around.Althought I think I understood the code, my maths didn't word :'( ...

Functions hate me :( I am trying to get a simple function to work, and it doesn't. function() replace_donemodel(pos, node) minetest.set_node(pos, {name = "modname:nodename", param2 = node.param2}) end, on_place = { minetest.after(2.0, replace_donemodel)} This is inside a register_node. I ...

This code lets the game start and actually does something when I punch the node. My game crashes. get_item = function (player) -- function(pos, node, player, pointed_thing) local inv = player:get_inventory() inv:add_item("main", "modname:nodename") end, replace_model = function ...

You can't. Combine the code into one function.

Don't do that.

I think you could probably settle on a basic set of landscape blocksnodes (dirt/stones, plants, liquids, etc.) to start with since that will already get you all the blocks that most people need. The rest of the blocks could be optionally input by a user. We could also make some trivial tooling to ou...

Thanks for the extensive info, twoelk! It sounds like I would have to support Minetest mods in WorldPainter for it to have any practical use. Would you agree? Although I do understand there is a default subgame with the basic Minecraft-like blocks in it (the blocks I see if I just download and run ...

Right ... I totally forgot that for every item, a new node would be needed, because of the textures. Which essentially doubles the number of nodes. Holy cow! I guess I just wait until Minetest has some better Lua API support, then. Thanks for your time anyway. Remember, even with 250 node registrat...

Many items are not supported: Stairs Slabs Fences Fence Gates Walls would require me to make another *mesh* to support those shapes. That means more modelling work, and at this time I don't think that it's reasonable. It also means even more registered nodes, I just don't think that's important rig...
