Hmmm... not sure why that would happen. I edited a stock builtin.lua file. I'll add a download for the edited files, it is just that it can be a pain to keep them up-to-date.

There is just one file 'init.lua', that I placed in the /mods/beds folder. This mod should work 'as-is'? I only changed the interval from 10 to 1, typed '/giveme beds:bed' placed the bed on the ground, jumped on it, waited 10 seconds, but nothing happened. Technically this needs a texture to go alo...

Really, I didn't realize that the source for MineCraft was released.

I think the problem is that the block with the ground is generated before the block of air above is generated. Therefore when the tree is added to the ground there is no memory allocated to put the top of the tree. So to prevent this from happening you would need to make sure that the block above is...

i got a version from xyz that has it disabled completely me and jordach play with it all the time. All that is disabled is in your client there is no button to turn free_move on and off. When you move in the game what is happening is that your client sends to the server your x-y-z coords and the se...

Hate to nitpick but vertical movement is in the Y axis.

The only thing that should need updating is the two diffs. Shouldn't take too long...Done

+1 Could this be leveraged at the point of all of the 'joins\joined' messaging that takes place in server.cpp? Yes. I would want to make sure that the new player is all loaded and in the system. That is that his/her player is registered in minetest.object_refs so that a reference to the player can ...

It may take up to 10 seconds for this mod to register you as on top of a bed. This was done to cut CPU load. If that is not your problem, I will take a look at it.

These would be call backs to LUA for when a player joins and quits a server. It could be used to serve MOTD kind of stuff, server logging, etc. I have no problem doing the coding, but I don't want to waste by time if it won't be merged. So if someone with some authority to merge code says yes, I wil...

THANK YOU! i've been begging everyone to make this :D will you make them into entities instead of those weird "dropped items" ?? Entities? How would I do that? Those "dropped items" are entities. I think you mean LUAentities, but to do what with them? I guess you could use the on_step function to l...

Can you post the whole function that code is in and what file it is in?

Here look at this code: minetest.register_on_generated( function(minp, maxp) max_add = 20 for x = minp.x,maxp.x do for y = minp.y,maxp.y do for z = minp.z,maxp.z do pos = {x=x, y=y, z=z} if minetest.env:get_node(pos).name == "default:stone_with_iron" then max_check = 5 while max_check do pos_i = {x=...

I updated my desert mod :) Cacti should be actually be destroyable in default mode with your fists. You can change nodes that have already been defined if you want. First, make sure that 'default' is in your depends.txt file, then you add this to your mod's init.lua file: minetest.registered_nodes[...

I think you can make any groups you want. For example you could edit the plant growing mods to have a 'plant' group on their nodes and tools.

All the "minetest.digprop_" functions are deprecated and do nothing now. Look at the default init.lua file to see how nodes are now defined. Also look at the tools to see how they are now interacting with the node groups. See this example: minetest.register_tool("default:shovel_steel", { description...

I'd like to point out that this code is just proof-of-concept. If someone else wants to use this to make a full mod, I say "go for it." I'm not good at doing graphics and this mod really needs some, that, and I don't really run a server.

Could you do something like cycling the number each time it is punched? minetest.register_on_punchnode(function(pos, node, puncher) if node.name == "node_name" then -- Check to see if hit by hand (not sure if this works) if puncher:get_wielded_item():get_tool_capabilities().groupcaps[oddly_breakable...

So it seems to me that there are not hardcoded groups, but the ones that are in the default init.lua file are:
fleshy
crumbly
snappy
cracky
choppy
bendy
dig_immediate
oddly_breakable_by_hand

only if metadata_name = "sign" in the node def

The time it takes to cook something is dependent on the item being cooked. So for iron it takes 3 seconds for every lump to be cooked. From default/ini.lua: -- Recipe (cooking): -- { -- type = "cooking", -- output = "default:glass", -- recipe = "default:sand", -- cooktime = 3, <---------------------...

do you have write permission for the file?
if the mods are installed in your home folder, then you should, if they are installed in the /usr/ directory, you may not. Try using 'sudo gedit init.lua'

I'm away from my computer right now but if I remember correctly it is steel in the center surrounded by wood. If that doesn't work look in the init.lua file for the recipe definition.

Here is a quick bit of code that you can add the the default init.lua file to remove footprints minetest.register_abm({ nodenames = { "default:dirt_with_grass_footsteps" }, interval = 10, chance = 100, action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider) minetest.env:add_node...

There's your problem, iron is mostly near the surface, only randomly placed as you get deep.

It looks like just finding iron is the first real challenge to this game.

kahrl wrote:Why does the server.cpp patch modify the punch action (0) and not the dig action (2)? It makes no sense to me.

Your are right. I made the patch origianally and then lost it and had to recreate it and I put it in the wrong place. I have updated the patch.

i personally dont like the growing mod, mountains of cactus and vines reaching the cloud in just a couple hours. its kind of iritating The growing Mod is a bit overpowered if it was toned down just a bit on that stuff i would probly actully use it. You can adjust the timings used by the ABMs to fit...

Here, I wrote a version that will save the players position to a file. I also fixed the chat commands a bit. To save a spawn point just got where you ant it and type "/setspawn" that is it. Right now a mod can not set what direction you are looking so you will be looking in whatever direction you we...

Here is a little of what I think about your list. You have some good ideas, but few are anything new. 1.) How would that be better? Provide some proof to back up your argument. 2 & 3.) There are trade offs for caching vs memory usage and celeron has made it very clear that he wants the game to run o...
