Version 0.2 updates:
- Recreated graphics

Minetest version: 0.4.10 (previous versions untested)

Depends: default

Recommends: 3d_armor (to see wielded weapons)

Download: Version 0.4
Download: Version 0.3
Download: Version 0.2

Browse code: github

Notes:
- 32px textures are default. If you want to use 16px, they are in a subfolder in the textures folder.
- Hopefully the sounds are implemented correctly. If they present problems in a mutiplayer environment, you can disable them by editing the init.lua file (instructions in the file).

Yay, Star Wars is coming!

Thank you for reviving this interesting mod

Can you switch away from CC BY-NC-SA, please? It is not a free culture license. Thanks in advance.

Also, it is preferable to use “LGPLv2 or later” for code, which is the same license as mod code found in Minetest.

I would prefer to move away from CC BY-NC-SA. However, the original mod was under this license, which (if I understand correctly) requires you use the same license.

Hi, the mod crashes the minetest server once in a while:

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

02:35:59: ERROR[main]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: /home/minetest/.minetest/mods/laser_mod/init.lua:40: attempt to index a nil value

My guess is this happens when a player disconnects while swinging his sword - the code still wants to reference the player (which is now NIL) to stop the laser sound.

Thanks for bug and fix, mod updated.
