[Mod] Specialties [3.5] [specialties]

[keyxmakerx]

That would be really awesome! I wish they would add this to the main gameplay. It would seem to be a much better gameplay functionality. Also 2 things just ideas I'm just curious

1. Could u make something like iron to steel a few hundred points compared to mess to even better much higher like a thousand?

2 could you add other mods like gems which is what I use on mine test server.us.to. so it will go from mess to emerald?

1. Are you asking if I could change the upgrade amount to steel a couple of hundred and the amount to mese about a thousand?

2. It's really easy to add new mod items to the system. I would have to check on emerald tools and if they are better than mese.

Open up the code in WordPad. It's simple to add features- but not fun to make large changes for a small segment of- oh, how hypocritical of me. Anyways, like I was saying. Easy to add in yourself, but making changes that could affect a large amount of people isn't fun.

Whatever. I'll see what I can do.

Anyways, take a look at the code. Adding support for other mods is really, really simple.

Miscellaneous code fixes and cleanup
Added condenser node

Condenser:

• Designed like the Equivalent Exchange energy condenser. This converts one type of node or item into another. Currently the condenser is flawless meaning there is no energy loss but I will add in a small random loss every time a conversion occurs so it doesn't feel too OP. Also, not all items and nodes work in the system. Don't worry that won't crash your game. I'm working on the conversion amounts for each node and item.

With the condenser I also want to make a way for players to gain experience from the energy the condenser stores. I'll work on that a little bit later though.
The Builder has actually been downgraded to nothing right now, but I am going to add a fly and fast skill purchase which'll make it easier for building.

[ashenk69]

Added fly and fast builder skill. They are just the fly and fast privelege from the default game.

I mean up the requirements based on upgrades of items per individual items. Because bronze to mese is a HUGE step and should take more then just 500 xp to upgrade. At least in my thoughts, correct me if im wrong. ^^

[ashenk69]

I can make the upgrade amount per item to work but since there isn't a way to read if an item is put or taken from an inventory when it is just a formpsec shown to a player. I'll need to add a refresh button which'll recalculate the formspec to show proper XP costs. The other way is to just increase the amount it costs overall which'll in turn make it more useful for higher level tools. Since you won't want to upgrade from stone to steel for a lot.

True, that does sound like a good idea. Which ever is easiest for you!

I'm having a small problem. When I try to start a world with specialties enabled it stops right after "connecting" saying there's an error and something about a nil value.

Can you post the error from the console?

ServerError: LuaError: error: ...st-04.7\minetest-0.4.7\bin\..\mods\specialties\init.lua:65: attempt to index a nil value

[ashenk69]

I committed a fix that should stop that issue.

[derpswa99]

When ever I hoe land using this mod it breaks the default farming mod and doesnt let me farm. Unless I get rid of all my Minetest Stuff. Is there anyway to fix this?

[Ikishida]

failed to load and run C:\Minetest\bin\..\mods\specialties-master\init.lua
Check debug.txt for details

how can i make the mod work?

[Mossmanikin]

Maybe you'll just have to rename the mod folder to "specialties".

[durtective6]

how do u use the condenser ive tried lots of ways, such as putting a wanted item in top right and items to convert with in bottom but cant get it to work

(using technic and its dependencies)

The condenser can only convert items it knows about. Open the file "tables.lua". At the bottom, it contains all the nodes that can be converted. It covers most of the things in the default game, but does not include any mod support. Hence technic items won't work.

I've not seen anyone else mention this yet: Whenever I place a block, it stays in my inventory. I like the idea of this mod and I'd like to use it but if I wanted infinite blocks, I'd play in creative mode. Since nobody else has reported this issue, any ideas what would be causing it?

[saranas]

I have found, downloaded, installed this nice mod today and got the same bug as Jouster27 (infinite blocks in non creative mode). So I started some "hacking the code".
Here the result:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

I can say: it works for me but, I don't know if it is working for others.
Maybe it will help.

Saranas gets the WIN!!! Thank you, that fixed the mod for me.

[Jouster27]

When you add superheat to a feller, the resulting block (specialties:axe_diamond_superheat_feller) shows to be unknown.

[viv100]

when we play, we break a block and put it on when you ask it always marks the same block cipher

I'm using a bronze greenthumb hoe but won't harvest anything. I can plow with it but it won't harvest.

the player should access the menu (/spec) trough a node.

[BrunoMine]

I do not want the player to be flying or racing.

[BrunoMine]

There was a critical error. The nodes are infinite in inventory. the player can put infinite nodes, with only one in the inventory.

[Jouster27]

Bruno - It's a known issue but there is a fix. Check posts 78 and 79 above.

Find the init.lua mod and make the changes mentioned above. A line that has a minus sign (-) in front of it means delete the line. A line with a plus sign (+) in front of it means add the line. Save the file after you make the changes and it should fix the problem the next time you load the world.
