[Mod] More Blocks [moreblocks]

[addi]

i think the horizontal tree is obselete, since in minetest 0.4.8 are the tree rotated by 6dfacedir.

^ /me did that

thats the best thing on minetetst 0.4.8 ^^
lot of thanks for doing that :)

[Inocudom]

For example, when I loaded the latest version of Calinou's MoreBlocks mod (as of this writing, Github commit date: 2013_11_29) into a backup copy of the server's world file, Spawntown was covered in "unknown blocks" all over the place.

Yes, moreblocks might be a big problem there as it affects a lot of nodes. Some few textures may also have changed. AFAIK newer versions come with abms that transform old moreblocks blocks to new ones (mostly). Discussion about problems with that ought to happen in the moreblocks-thread in the forum so that other people who have the same problem can see which solutions where found.

Sokomine and LazyJ appear to have found an issue.

Another problem:

[01-19 08:10] <Misty@VE-S> the stone brick half slabs are becoming unknown items when I dig them
[01-19 08:11] <twoelk> Misty, can you place half slabs?
[01-19 08:11] <Misty@VE-S> yes, but digging them up again turns them into unknown items
[01-19 08:12] <twoelk> can you place the unknown items?
[01-19 08:12] <Misty@VE-S> I'm talking about the half thickness slabs, not the panels.
[01-19 08:13] <Misty@VE-S> oh twoelk, I haven't tried placing an unknown item....I'll find out.
[01-19 08:13] <Misty@VE-S> nope, can't place it
[01-19 08:13] <VanessaE> what happens when you try?
[01-19 08:13] <VanessaE> do you get an error?
[01-19 08:14] <Misty@VE-S> no, I don't see an error, it just can't be placed.

[Pitriss]

I can confirm that bug.. wool and panels do the same..

This should be fixed now (tested by myself).

[ranta]

im on 4.9 and im getting a failed to load error on the int lua file

[rubberduck]

i found a small bug with the super glow glass when cut with the circular saw: the glass you get doesn't make the glass-breaking sound when digging it
(i think that this is with all kinds of glass)

[rubberduck]

i found onother bug:
the jungle sapling displays smaller in the inventory, if this mod is installed (activated).
i tested it without this mod activated and then there wasn't this problem.

this is how it looks for me:


i have installed the stable version 0.4.9

edit: i found another bug.

when i use stone brick in the circular saw, i can place them normally, but when i collect these placed blocks, i get unknown nodes

[ak399g]

Under the new system, how do I add blocks to the list of known stairs?

EDIT: nvm, figured it out.

[rubberduck]

the jungle wood fence and jungle stick recipe is not on the first post.

the jungle fence should be darker, (should be close to jungle wood planks)
it is hard to see the difference if you put a normal fence beside a jungle fence.

[Calinou]

An update was made today:

• Code cleaned up, with many bug fixes.
• You can now craft sticks back into wood and craft sticks using saplings.
• You can brighten or darken coal stone, iron stone, coal glass and iron glass back into their normal variants.
• Trap Glow Glass and Trap Super Glow Glass now have different textures to separate them from their non-trap variants.
• Trap Stone has a new texture.
• Legacy code is not loaded anymore by default.

Thanks a million Calinou! I'm really glad to see that you still working well on this mod.

Having some bug issues with the 2014_05_02 and 03 releases of "MoreBlocks". They seem to stem from dependencies from the "Carbone" game. Presently "MoreBlocks" will crash Minetest because "MoreBlocks" is looking for things that only exist in "Carbone".


Non-crash issue: default_fence_overlay.png not found

Both issues were fixed.

The latest updates make it much easier to craft Stairs+ nodes without a circular saw. You can craft almost any basic-looking Stairs+ node, it's also nicely intuitive.

_ X
X X

The above recipe can be used to craft 12 panels, in addition to stairs and slabs (where _ is empty space and X is the material).

Putting a stair, slab or panel in the crafting grid splits it into microblocks. Putting 2 to 8 microblocks in the crafting grid merges them into slabs, stairs (standard, inner/outer corner and half) and full blocks. Putting an half stair in the crafting grid mirrors it.

[rubberduck]

i noticed 2 bugs in this mod with the circular saw.

you can't stack stairs made mith the circular saw with these crafted with normal blocks (for example wooden stairs)

the other bug is, that you can get microblocks twice
for this you have to do this:
1: put any block in the saw and take one normal stair
2: take the two microblocks out ouf the saw (under the place where you put in the input-block, not in the output-area!)
3: you can take now these microblocks out of the output-area (which shouldn't be there normally, because you removed the other microblocks)

edit: i found a third bug:

with normal sticks you get 3 ladders, but with jungle sticks only one.
I tested it without this mod (but there aren't jungle sticks, because they were added with this mod), and you get only one then out of normal sticks.

Please may you make darkage work with the circular saw. Thanks :)

[Krock]

Please may you make darkage work with the circular saw. Thanks :)

This belongs to the darkage mod. The circular saw has functions, so other mods can offer support - or not.

[Vazon]

I pushed a update for my darkage mod, and yes it works with the moreblocks mod if it is there

Please could you update it on your server then?

Hi,

lots of thanks for adding craft recieps. :-D

but the craft recieps wont work with another mods name than moereblocks.

i have a fix for it, but i wont create an account on gitourius to create just this one pull request. so i uploaded it to my repository on bitbucket:
repo: https://bitbucket.org/adrido/moreblocks
git: https://adrido@bitbucket.org/adrido/moreblocks.git

i woud be happy if you can merge them

Please may you make darkage work with the circular saw. Thanks :)

you can use my version of the darkage mod, it supports the moreblocks mod an the circular saw:

It's an amazing mod. We have made a little video about it and we'll be using it in the next movies! This is good.

Yes, it is. One of the mods that ought to be present (apart from homedecor) on each server.

We have made a little video about it and we'll be using it in the next movies! This is good.

Good to hear! Hope there'll be progress on your mods as well. That...headless..cow is creepy :) Give it a nice texture! Also, take a look at Trainwreck Tonys server. Some of your mods are running there.

[JKMurray]

Thanks Sokomine! I'll take a look at them! Currently we're thinking about doing a series on a minetest-server with all kinds of mods. Any advice from the experts?

Check your added materials. In gitorious code "local ndef" line is located at line 28, so I guess you added something and made typo or so there. (in your error message this line starts at line 30)
