Nice! Maybe you could make it so that if you touch a question block it drops the item (once) on the ground above the block.

Great idea but the chest one is good too, i have that idea too , i think than i can do item to add abilities to who haves it,
a example the fire flower (from SMB) will can make than who haves it when touches something it will burns inmediatly

Screenshots, please. ;)

-SMB Mushroom (it recover 20 hearts)
-SMB Fire Flower (it burns everthing that touch, i based code in fake_fire mod)

hey i am making the tanooki suit but i need to know if you want than the tanooki has time or than in 30 seconds will dissapear the effect

Will you change gravity when wearing the suit or grant fly priv? If so then you should make it loose power after so much time.

Well i grant fly priv and i think to lose power after 300 or 600 seconds i think 600 ,because sucks lose the power so fast and i don't grant fly priv for ever because the game crashes , the gravity idea was good but i did the raccoon not the tannooki because i have problems with the meshes(i try to fix it but i can't).

OldCoder Openmine now includes MineYoshi's RetroBlocks mod and Argos's Wrench mod:

MineYoshi RetroBlocks: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13118

Argos Wrench: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11162

These mods will be added to other worlds. As a technical note, for the Sonic block shown below to work with the wrench, I needed to make the following patch:

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

retroblocks/init.lua:
- legacy_facedir_simple = true,
+ paramtype2 = "facedir",

Cross-posted to the Openmine thread and to the RetroBlocks thread.

Code: Select all

World:   OldCoder Openmine
Name:    RetroBlocks example
Builder: OldCoder
Coords:  409.8, 23.5, 1285.4

Thanks for the help i have problems with that sonic block and that code helps so much, i going to add the raccoon but i see than in your server there is fly.
P.S i will visit the server!

MineYoshi:

1. Regarding fly, I have other worlds that omit fly and will use the blocks there too.

2. If you and others work further on RetroBlocks, I might try to set up a RetroWorld. Or maybe I'll add a RetroBiome to the Ethereal mapgen mod instead.

I'm imagining something similar to the following, but this is just a rough example.

Ideally, some of the characters would be mobs and not blocks. Due to trademark issues, they might also need to be renamed. Perhaps the hedgehog could be called Phonic.

Cool, but i think the character blocks only for fun or to decorate, and i can do mobs as characters, only that mobs should be peaceful by example make a yoshi and you can ride the yoshi, and well i am the only who works in this project and become hard to make a big mod by miself BUT is posible, everobody can .
And well about the trademark issues, yes the characters will be renamed but with a logical and similar name,
example: Mario=Merio i don't going to do this sonic=cinos only because is sonic backwards!.

It becomes hard to do this alone, but i don't know who can help me to do this.
And well in the mapgen you can do this how you said retro biome can make sonic levels naturally or smb castles in different parts of the world

i think to make some mobs in 2d and others in 3d i make 3d mobs only if is too necesary

If there is anything I can do to help send me a pm. I can't do mapgen but I can do lots of other things.

Don that's useful i don't have any who can help me, i will send you a MP.

OldCoder that's a good idea i will try to make the caracters

MineYoshi, I see that you have a GitHub account. Technical note: MineYosh as opposed to MineYoshi there.

It looks like you created a RetroBlocks GitHub repo as an experiment and put it aside. If you update the code, GitHub will automatically provide you with a download ZIP file. The ZIP-file link will be:

https://github.com/MineYosh/Retroblocks_Mod/archive/master.zip

You're free to use minetest.org and hosting sites as well.

One advantage of GitHub is that the site makes it easier for other people to contribute code. However, if GitHub seems complicated, there is no rush. Find what works best for you.

I ussed the nickname MineYosh because MineYoshi wasn't avaible ,but technically it's MineYoshi.
The only problem is than i don't know how to upload the textures with the code isn't any problem.
i think in use DropBox

now the mod is in dropbox

ok OldCoder yes only i need time and some luck for finish this mobs,
thanks for cinos

Hey MineYoshi! I see in the screen shots you are running the mod on 0.4.12. I'm also using this version but minetest keeps showing this error on screen and says nothing in the debug.
ERROR: Failed to enable mod "retroblocks 0.3" as it contains disallowed characters. Only characters [a-z0-9_] are allowed.
This happens with a whole bunch of other mods to and I'm new to this, So I was wondering if you know how to fix it.
If you do, please let me know.

Because that i uploaded it to dropbox ,ok download it from there

And OldCoder you can also use number because that is 0-9 that means you can use numbers from 0 to 9.
you can write the mod version example: sanic_mod_09
