Re: [Modpack] Home Decor [git] [homedecor_modpack]
Most of the colorized objects in this modpack have been converted over to use the new hardware colorization feature of the engine. Some of these nodes remain statically-colored, others use the dynamic param2-based colorization. This modpack uses Unified Dyes for color handling in these cases. Most i...

Re: [Mod] Colored Woods [20140617] [coloredwood]
This mod has been converted to use the new param2-based colorization scheme. There are no crafts in this mod anymore - it's all done by simply placing a default wood block or default wood fence on the ground and right-clicking on it with some dye to change it to that color. Dig the wood and you get ...

Re: [Mod] Blox Mod - Now with more cobble! [git] [blox]
This mod has been converted to use the new param2-based colorization scheme. Start by crafting a patterned block using either wood, stone, or cobble, and a few portions of white dye. Which pattern you get depends on how you arrange those items (see first post). Then, place that white-patterned block...

Re: [Mod] Unified Bricks [20120716] [unifiedbricks]
This mod (which, as a reminder, has https://github.com/minetest-mods/unifiedbricks as its main repo now) has mostly been converted over to use the new param2-based coloring scheme. What this means in practice is that you can get a colorized brick block by simply placing a standard, default brick blo...

Re: [mod] Biome library [git][biome_lib]
I haven't been working on this mod lately, but I'm open to reasonable pull requests. It DOES work fine on mapgen v7, it just doesn't take advantage of any mgv7-specific features or climate/biome info. There is the issue of moretrees causing shadows on the map, but that's an engine bug.

Also, due to a bug in Minetest, you must make sure you have exactly one and only one copy of each mod you have installed, whether they're individual or as part of a modpack like Dreambuilder. Minetest will sometimes load the "wrong" copy of the mod, even if only the "right" one i...

Re: [Modpack] Dreambuilder [20160916-0216]
Other than those couple of "inventory sorter" PNG errors at the end of your log, I see nothing unusual here. You can just ignore the warnings - Minetest is just being a little too verbose.

It is indeed a collection of mods, hence a "mod pack". Whenever a new feature shows up in Dreambuilder, it'll always be added to whatever upstream mod that is appropriate, because it's really not possible for me to itemize everything that changes from one update to another. You'll have to ...

Re: [Modpack] Dreambuilder [20160916-0216]
Best place to start is with any of the mods in minetest_game - probably something basic like the wool mod maybe. You could also try gloopblocks, or maybe ilights (both in DB), those are relatively simple.

Re: [mod] kaeza's/VanessaE's signs library [signs_lib][git]

Just add text_size = {x=foo, y=bar}, to your node definition. The defaults are x=0.8 and y=0.5. I've started to document signs_lib's API. Most of what sig...

Re: [mod] kaeza's/VanessaE's signs library [signs_lib][git]
It's better that you should fix your textures as needed. I won't be adding anything like that to this mod. If the textures don't fit, they're just too big. :-)
EDIT: amadin was talking about aligning and sizing the text entity itself, so that it fits better with his custom sign background textures.
