[Mod] Farming Plus [farming_plus]

Hello I just found out about the game yesterday, and am now trying to play with the mods for it. when I added your mods farming and farmingplus, then try to run my existing game or a new one I get this error;

The correct name for the mod is "farming_plus", rename the mod folder accordingly.

[Devestatio]

could it be this section in your code? I am no expert coder(or even an adept one), but my research into the error leads me to believe something in there may be wrong.

-- ========= ALIASES FOR FARMING MOD BY SAPIER =========

        end
    })
end


and shouldn't potatoe be spelled potato?

[Devestatio]

NM you ninja'd me lol, ok will rename and try it again, I love that your are watching the thread =)

[Devestatio]

ok it worked great, just took a few minutes to load all the mods and initialize them... any way to speed that up btw? or will it stay cached now and load faster in the future? and while I search maybe you could tell me how I can set the game window to auto maximize on load?

O god that are a lot of questions, and most of them are offtopic.
Ill answer them anyways:
Use fewer mods to speed it up.
Yes media (textures and sounds) is cached.
Set screenW screenH to your screensize in minetest.conf.

[Devestatio]

Thank you, I realize they where off topic but was hoping you would be good enough to answer them(which you did). You seem like a really knowledgeable person to ask =) thanks again for them help getting it to work.

Will you be adding more to this later? like maybe irrigation to speed up the watering process or auto harvesting of plants via some farming contraption?

Yes, I need to work on a farming mod that will be included in the default game. I need to think about it a bit.

[Sokomine]

A farming mod in default would be nice. Though to have real fun, it requires farming_plus. The plants there do not only serve as a way to do something ingame, but also allow more decorative gardens.

A real problem are the digged and left untended dry soils which grow weed and look bad. Players dig them for seeds and then move on without cleaning up.

[Linxx]

also we need other stuff for food other than regaining health... but that should come later

[Jouster27]

I agree. What would be nice is a command that an admin could use that would convert all dug blocks with weeds back to dirt with grass.

[PilzAdam]

I plan to move everything from farming, that will not be added to the upstream farming, to farming_plus, so this mod will be stay alive.

[jojoa1997]

You are going to make diamond and bronze how's right?

[Pavel_S]

I think it is needed to add:
if papyrus node was digged then drop papyrus which are locate higher.

[Mito551]

I think it is needed to add:
if papyrus node was digged then drop papyrus which are locate higher.

add attached_node=1 in groups of node definition

[PilzAdam]

I think it is needed to add:

add attached_node=1 in groups of node definition

That wont work. Papyrus is walkable, and attached_nodes cant be on top of walkable nodes.

[Pavel_S]

It works but, Is it a good solution?

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

function on_dignode(p, node)
    if node.name == "default:papyrus" or "default:dirt" or "default:dirt_with_grass" then
        repeat
            p.y = p.y+1
            local name = minetest.env:get_node(p).name
            if name == "default:papyrus" then
                node.name = "air"
                minetest.env:set_node(p, node)
                --Give item to player or drop it if item_drop_mod installed
            end
        until name ~= "default:papyrus"
    end
end
minetest.register_on_dignode(on_dignode)

[Mito551]

I think it is needed to add:
if papyrus node was digged then drop papyrus which are locate higher.

add attached_node=1 in groups of node definition

That wont work. Papyrus is walkable, and attached_nodes cant be on top of walkable nodes.

since when papyrus is walkable??

[PilzAdam]

add attached_node=1 in groups of node definition

That wont work. Papyrus is walkable, and attached_nodes cant be on top of walkable nodes.

Ehm, not walkable. (I always mix up the walkable thing)

[Pavel_S]

Place seeds as you want, also papyrus.

seeds dont drop when block below it was digged

[Casimir]

I think it is needed to add:
if papyrus node was digged then drop papyrus which are locate higher.

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

-- Nodes in the group plant_dig go into the diggers inventory if the node below is dug
minetest.register_on_dignode(function(pos, node, digger)
    if digger == nil then return end
    if minetest.get_item_group(node.name, "plant_dig") == 0 then return end
    local np = {x = pos.x, y = pos.y + 1, z = pos.z}
    local nn = minetest.env:get_node(np)
    if minetest.get_item_group(nn.name, "plant_dig") ~= 0 and node.name == nn.name then
        minetest.node_dig(np, nn, digger)
    end
end)


Add plant_dig=1 to papyrus and cactus groups.

Hi, I have a problem with big pumpkins, making these are generated as shown in the picture:



Actually I have no idea why this happens.

~~~So sorry for my bad english

Yup. I've had that too ever since I started using this mod (and made big pumpkins).

Seems like an issue with the new 6d facedir.

[VanessaE]

Chances are, the facedir was never being set properly to begin with, but you couldn't actually see it. I had this same problem with the waterlilies in my flowers(_plus) mod.

What was happening was that the facedir range was being used wrongly: the rotation values being set were being stored more or less directly in the map, but when the client went to display the nodes that used them, it overflowed the rotation values into a smaller range than what is supported today. So even though an object looked like it was rotated correctly, it actually wasn't. The client was just hiding this fact via that overflow.

When the 6d facedir code went in, the overflow in the client was removed and the value range for display was increased, so those "wrong" values now cause wrongly-rotated nodes, because as far as the engine and client are concerned, they're valid now.

The solution is to fix the mod so that it's not setting the wrong values, and in the meantime use a screwdriver to rotate the misplaced nodes back to the right orientation.

[PilzAdam]

Update!
Farming is now in minetest_game. Only farming_plus is availible here. You need to install it to keep your pumpkins and properly convert the old farming mod to the new one in minetest_game.

Note: Do not update when you dont use current dev version of Minetest or Minetest 0.4.7 (when it comes out).

[shaneroach]

I'm a little confused. If I am using regular Minetest 4.6, should I download the latest minetest_game, delete the old, and put the new one in, or should I try to find farming and install it and farming_plus into mods/minetest?

If you use 0.4.6 stable then you dont have to do anything. Just dont update farming_plus.

Oh, so this is basically for people using the dev version to update with new changes?

Thanks for the clarification on any case. I need to try to farm now....

Yea.

And when 0.4.7 comes out, people should update too.
