Ok, I did a fresh git clone of Moreblocks and it works now. Thanks.

By the way, labs are only visible from one face, from the other one they are totally invisible.

This appears to be the same issue as this one.

What version of Minetest do you use? Please use 0.4.11 or newer.

[dgm5555]

Unfortunately due to all the serious bugs I've experienced in 0.4.11 , I've reverted to 0.4.10.
Would you have any idea how far back I have to go to get a version of moreblocks which works under .10 - I foolishly didn't keep a copy of my working version under .10.

EDIT: Don't worry, I picked a commit just before the release of .11, and it seems to work fine:-
https://gitorious.org/calinou/moreblocks/archive/4b682f47301e68d83da98f6ee5d57c6f526ba051.zip

I... Guess this problem... Will never be fixed then... Never... Never... Never...

It is possible to exclude non-existing nodes instead of crashing using some code (VanessaE should have it), but I haven't applied it (yet).

[VanessaE]

The fix is actually as obvious as it seems :-)

After line 37 of registrations.lua, add if ndef then , and before line 57, add a corresponding end . Be sure to adjust the indentation accordingly.

This will stop stairsplus from trying to register a node that isn't actually defined by the current game.

Should it be like this?

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 ndef then
      local groups = {}
      for k, v in pairs(ndef.groups)
         -- Ignore wood and stone groups to not make them usable in crafting:
         do if k ~= "wood" and k ~= "stone" then
            groups[k] = v
         end
      end
      local drop
      if type(ndef.drop) == "string" then
         drop = ndef.drop:sub(9)
      end
      stairsplus:register_all("moreblocks", name, nodename, {
         description = ndef.description,
         drop = drop,
         groups = groups,
         sounds = ndef.sounds,
         tiles = ndef.tiles,
         sunlight_propagates = true,
   end
[...]


However, it gives me this error when running:

Minetest 0.4.11 stable and latest moreblocks...

Any hints on how to fix this?

EDIT: Found it :) the "end" should be added AFTER line 57, so that the brackets from line 50 are closed.

[Calinou]

Thanks, I have committed this (tested).

A bug present since months : the glass nodes from the circular saw lack of borders on 5 faces (sides and underside).

[numzero]

In minetest d1d5618 I had stairs and slabs from both Stairs (from minetest_game) and Moreblocks mods as different node types. Here is a patch that fixes that:

2.1.4

Adding Stairs as soft dependency ensures that it, if present, is loaded before the Moreblocks mod.
Explicit copying of fields.groups is necessary to keep basic stairs in creative inventory (and, what is more important for me, in Unified Inventory) while not adding them all.

+1, it will be solved someday ? :(

Partially solved : https://github.com/Calinou/moreblocks/c ... 73f7fc2c7e

Where do i find the current version?
is it on Github again? https://github.com/Calinou/moreblocks/
on notabug? https://notabug.org/calinou/moreblocks
or gitorious? https://gitorious.org/calinou/moreblocks/

On GitHub, the two other ones are obsolete now. (Gitorious is also read-only since June 1th 2015).

More Blocks now features the slopes in the circular saw:

[mgl]

I got a very confusing error about the functions core.item_place_node() and core.add_node() from the minetest file 'builtin/game/item.lua' while trying to place your updated saw.

It was because the subgame I used didn't have the default.gui* constants (and textures, especially the file 'gui_formbg.png') found in minetest_game (in file 'minetest_game/mods/default/init.lua').

Adding them solved it. Might help others.

[jp]

Yes, subgames must use a recent base of minetest_game (>= 0.4.10) for using the fancy GUI style.

(Carbone uses a 0.4.9 minetest_game base, AFAIK)

[lightonflux]

Could you edited the first post? The situation about the right code repository is a bit confusing.

[necron099]

Calinou,

I ran into a bug? I downloaded this from github and installed it into a subgame I was working on and there was no breath bar displayed. Removed all mods and replaced them one by one until I found the cause of this.

Just to be sure yesterday I downloaded and compiled a fresh minetest and minetest_game and unzipped this mod (there were no other mods except the default ones) and waited underwater for a couple of minutes and no breath bar showed up. Took this mod out and the breath bar appeared.

[schnico]

Hi calinou,

why does pinewood doesn't work with circular saw anymore?
We used it often on our server, but after updating your mod there were only ugly unknown nodes instead of pinewood slabs. :(

cheers, schnico

Forgot it, it was just because of our old game. (default:pinewood -> default:pine_wood)

More Blocks is now in the minetest-mods organization. Here's the new GitHub link: https://github.com/minetest-mods/moreblocks

Note that existing clones and URLs will continue to work, as the repository was transferred.

I tried increasing the amount of light the Super_glow_Glass.
I changed the light_source in Node.lua but it seems still to be the same amount.
I was looking to increase it to 2 times as bright.
Any idea how to do it.

15 is the maximum value, sorry. This is a limitation in the mintest engine, not moreblocks.

I like this mod a lot :)
