[Modpack] "Better HUD" and "hunger" [2.x.1] [hud][hunger]

[4aiman]

So, have you tried to disable armour part?

So, have you tried to disable armour part?

excuse me,you mean "disable armor mod" or "remove armor from minetest"?.
my server uses inventory plus+3d armor+bag+skin, for my inventory screen.

maybe ,that situation only happen in server-client architecture(server hosted at internet not intranet/localhost).

excuse me,you mean "disable armor mod" or "remove armor from minetest"

I meant what I had wrote 2 times in a row: Try to

disable armour part

That means disabling armour hud only (HP, air and hunger would be still shown). This mod supports this.

To display armour hud this mod HAS to look into inventory. So just try to disable armour hud...

Sorry for being irritated... It's just I don't know how to explain in other words..

Sorry for being irritated... It's just I don't know how to explain in other words..

for me? no, i am fine. i learn alot things about minetest(&english..XD) from discussion in here.

i has terrible english,so need to confirm. actully, i have to say sorry,because after finished testing minetest & minetest with luajit/leveldb, i relize that maybe i have learn to tweak some option for.i do'nt know much about minetest with luajit/leveldb.

I only know that under the minetest with luajit/leveldb, the way to put in/out from chest , it got terrible delay,even after converting current map by --migrate leveldb . if i reinstall minetest(not support with luajit/leveldb) from ABS(from archlinux),no delay. it's very strange for me.

i try to introduce minetest to TAIWAN,so i have to study/test minetest. i still do'nt know how to figure out the problem of chinese-tradition input,but still feel great .

[4aiman]

Maybe you should try to open an issue at the github?
Like, "lags when using luajit+leveldb"?
What server you're using? maybe it's connection just too slow/poor to send needed data...
*I once tried to run a Minecraft server on a RPi with a 128KBs connection, so do I know how bad thing may be*
Also, profiler dump would be nice.
Maybe bugs & problems is the better place for this conversation to continue.

[ak399g]

With the [areas] mod, I've set the color of the text in the lower left corner of the screen to appear white (FFFFFF). However, when I enable your [hud] mod, it overrides the [areas] mod's settings and puts the text as black. Why is that?

yes,i think you are right. after those trying , make me know it's not all about the HUD mod. I'll finish this issue!

thx for you reply.

Does this belongs here?

Anyway, this happens when one text hud overlaps another. Try to change window size and see if problem remains. Also, black text may be caused by wrong update, e.g. truing to set "number" value to nil or string. BTW, does this happens every time you join the game?

This always happens when both are enabled. Changing window size did not help. Is there a place I can insert into hud.conf perhaps to specify "number = 0xFFFFFF"?

EDIT:[spoiler] Maybe part of the issue lies in the usage of the "number" parameter under "player:hud_add({"

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

Code: Select all

player:hud_add({
        hud_elem_type = "statbar",
        position = HUD_HEALTH_POS,
        scale = {x=1, y=1},
        text = "hud_heart_bg.png",
        number = 20,
        alignment = {x=-1,y=-1},
        offset = HUD_HEALTH_OFFSET,
    })

and all the other instances that say "number = 20". Is there a different way to denote the number of heart spaces displayed? Because normally, "number" sets the hex value of hud text.

Or perhaps, because [hud] loads itself after all other mods are loaded, it overrides the settings set under [areas]. Maybe a line of code could be added/changed so as to allow [areas] to load after [hud] as an exception?[/spoiler]

EDIT 2: Ignore the above, I read the HUD api (reproduced below) and I'm once more left in the dark regarding this issue. No idea what's causing it.
[spoiler]HUD element types
-------------------
The position field is used for all element types.
To account for differing resolutions, the position coordinates are the percentage of the screen,
ranging in value from 0 to 1.
The name field is not yet used, but should contain a description of what the HUD element represents.
The direction field is the direction in which something is drawn.
0 draws from left to right, 1 draws from right to left, 2 draws from top to bottom, and 3 draws from bottom to top.
The alignment field specifies how the item will be aligned. It ranges from -1 to 1,
with 0 being the center, -1 is moved to the left/up, and 1 is to the right/down. Fractional
values can be used.
The offset field specifies a pixel offset from the position. Contrary to position,
the offset is not scaled to screen size. This allows for some precisely-positioned
items in the HUD.
Below are the specific uses for fields in each type; fields not listed for that type are ignored.

Note: Future revisions to the HUD API may be incompatible; the HUD API is still in the experimental stages.

- image
Displays an image on the HUD.
- scale: The scale of the image, with 1 being the original texture size.
Only the X coordinate scale is used (positive values)
Negative values represent that percentage of the screen it
should take; e.g. x=-100 means 100% (width)
- text: The name of the texture that is displayed.
- alignment: The alignment of the image.
- offset: offset in pixels from position.
- text
Displays text on the HUD.
- scale: Defines the bounding rectangle of the text.
A value such as {x=100, y=100} should work.
- text: The text to be displayed in the HUD element.
- number: An integer containing the RGB value of the color used to draw the text.
Specify 0xFFFFFF for white text, 0xFF0000 for red, and so on.
- alignment: The alignment of the text.
- offset: offset in pixels from position.
- statbar
Displays a horizontal bar made up of half-images.
- text: The name of the texture that is used.
- number: The number of half-textures that are displayed.
If odd, will end with a vertically center-split texture.
- direction
- offset: offset in pixels from position.
- inventory
- text: The name of the inventory list to be displayed.
- number: Number of items in the inventory to be displayed.
- item: Position of item that is selected.
- direction
- waypoint
Displays distance to selected world position.
- name: The name of the waypoint.
- text: Distance suffix. Can be blank.
- number: An integer containing the RGB value of the color used to draw the text.
- world_pos: World position of the waypoint.[/spoiler]

[4aiman]

number works for text huds as color.
number works as count of half-images for statbar hud.

[ak399g]

Good to know, but still doesn't tell me what's causing the bug, or where to look.

[4aiman]

I have no problems with any huds turning black if those aren't overlapped or misconfigured/misdefined/misupdated.
If you want MC-like hunger, you can try out my 4hunger mod, but I need to have a list of mods you've installed to add support of any possible food you're using now.

If you want air bubbles, I can send you a mod that does only this - adds air bubbles and hurts you when there's none of them.

Hearts are shown by default, so no need bothering with them.

PS: I'm not advertising or saying my mods are better. But I do have mods that do similar things with which I had no problems. Of course it's easier to understand and edit my own code. (Besides I have no desire to fix better hud if it is all it's fault. Why? Because of "custom", which alone had driven me to write 4hunger despite me being a lazy a**).

[ak399g]

Haha yes I too take issue with le 'costum'es
I'll try your mod. If the API is logical, I may be able to add my own foods, but if no, then I'll ask for assistance.

[Capaverdeferro]

have to version 0.4.9?

[JPRuehmann]

Hello

Excellent work.

In general yes, but as you can see the posts above the mod is (still) kinda laggy. So it might be better to rewrite/improve the mod and then add new features.

Update! Version 1.2 released

Changelog:
- Send statbar values only to client when changed
- Hide armor bar if not wearing armor
- More reliable food overrides (by CiaranG)
- Support for bushes_classic foods (plantlife modpack) (by CiaranG)
- Add support for mushroom mod food/poison (by CiaranG)
- Add support for mods: fruit and mush45
- New images for hotbar, smaller armor icons

With this MOD in my MT server(cloud hosted,archlinux,from AUR,ver 0.4.9), I found It took about 10 seconds when I put something into chest or furnace,the same when i took from. after disable HUD , no more lag with put/get thing from chest or furnace.

anyone else found this like me?only me?

It could be cause by the fact, that the mod sent very often the values of the bars to the client (even if they didnt change). Since this is fixed in Version 1.2 now the lag should be reduce a lot or not occur anymore

With the [areas] mod, I've set the color of the text in the lower left corner of the screen to appear white (FFFFFF). However, when I enable your [hud] mod, it overrides the [areas] mod's settings and puts the text as black. Why is that?

I was not able to reproduce this issue with the current MT version, so i cant do anything to fix that, sorry.

[JPRuehmann]

Thank you a lot.

Is it possible to make the directon of the Status bars make configurable.
So that for example, I can put them on the left and right side of the Screen, but not horizontal but vertical.

Thanks,
JPR

You should probably add the Food mod to currently supported food, as it adds support for this mod automatically.

Maybe sort alphabetically as well.

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

Code: Select all

- Apples (default)
- Animalmaterials (mobf modpack)
- Bread (default)
- Bushes
- bushes_classic
- Dwarves (beer and such)
- Docfarming
- Fishing
- Farming plus
- Food
- fruit
- Glooptest
- Mooretrees
- Mtfoods
- mushroom
- mush45
- Simple mobs

When you start a game, the hunger bar does not immediately set to the correct level.

For example, if your hunger is zero (bar empty), the bar appears full. It is only when you eat something that it goes to the correct level. I guess it is because it does not get updated correctly.

Already known problem, the hunger is being reworked and will be fixed next release then, but thanks.

First, thanks for this great mod. Second, I think there is a fatal error:

When I'm hungry (1/2 bread left) I loose health, but When there is only half heart, it stop loss. I survive with half heart and half bread left. When I think I have only half bread and half heart left, I Should die.

The hunger bar is gets complete emptied now. Furthermore i enabled death by starving now, but i will revert it if people complain about it.

[TenPlus1]

Thanks for the new update BlockMen, death by hunger is a good feature and will be using it on Xanadu server...

For anyone wishing to add support for Ethereal mod foods, copy/paste the following lines to the end of hunger.lua

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

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("ethereal") ~= nil then
    overwrite("ethereal:strawberry", 1)
    overwrite("ethereal:banana", 2)
    overwrite("ethereal:pine_nuts", 1)
    overwrite("ethereal:fern_tubers", 1)
    overwrite("ethereal:banana_bread", 7)
    overwrite("ethereal:mushroom_plant", 1)
    overwrite("ethereal:coconut_slice", 2)
    overwrite("ethereal:golden_apple", 10)
    overwrite("ethereal:wild_onion_plant", 1)
    overwrite("ethereal:mushroom_soup", 2)
    overwrite("ethereal:mushroom_soup_cooked", 3)
    overwrite("ethereal:hearty_stew", 4)
    overwrite("ethereal:hearty_stew_cooked", 6)
    overwrite("ethereal:bucket_cactus", 2)
    overwrite("ethereal:fish_raw", 2)
    overwrite("ethereal:fish_cooked", 4)
end

Ok, thanks. I think now the game is more real and entertaining. In my opinion, it's a main feature, but everyone to his own taste.

[teamcrafterz112233]

why here mod is a not exp im a need now exp

[Evergreen]

why here mod is a not exp im a need now exp

Because there would be no use for xp. Also, post that in mod suggestions.

[alcipri]

There is a mod like XP: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3343
