init lua:3: bar argument #1 to

EDIT: Works great. I use the pickup functionality. Not the drop on dig.

[PilzAdam]

init lua:3: bar argument #1 to

Is this an error message?

[Spots]

When you dig a block it dont appears in your inventory but it falls down as a item and you can pick it up by walking over it.

it's really handy when cutting down trees and the decay kicks in you dont have to pick everyone up you just walk over them

With the timber mod its realy powerfull but a bit like "cheating".

This mod doesn't work the latest 0.4.2-rc1 release, or at least your latest update doesn't.

No errors are thrown and nothing visible happens; the world never appears after the initial node defs/media/etc screen.

Nice mod, did not know this was possible! Only one problem, the server crashes when I leave the game:

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

minetest/item_drop/init.lua:32: bad argument #2 to 'remove' (number expected, got userdata)

For me it works with latest Minetest (0.4.2-rc1) on kubuntu 11.10.

Fixed that.

OMG!! I have been waiting for a mod like this. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It works fine with the latest 0.4.2 which is awesome.

[Splizard]

Sorry, another bug :(

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

minetest/item_drop/init.lua:3: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got table)

This occurs when digging leaves (maybe since leaves have multiple node drop possibilities?).

Yeah I just noticed that too. I made a new world and spawned on leaves then dug down and crashed my game :(

[Clahymore]

There is another bug with the moreores mod. When you dig it it crashes and says :
item_drop\init.lua:7: 'for' limit must be a number
?

[PilzAdam]

I will try to fix all the bugs but i am working on a secret mod now so it could take a while.
The next version will fix all the bugs. Please report new bugs here.

[PilzAdam]

All bugs fixed in version 3.

Good!

Fixed. Ill upload it with version 4.

It should be 64. Can you give me more information (Minetest version, os, item_drop version (more information => more help)).

[Myu]

When mining a lot, there's a stack issue as it seems

Here's the backtrace :

13:15:04: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...8331f0/bin/../games/minitest/mods/item_drop/init.lua:30: 'for' limit must be a number
13:15:04: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:

EDIT : oops, was using an old version under Minitest v5 Game, problem seems to be fixed when installing item_drop v3
but issue remains when mining ores from "moreores" mod

[Splizard]

With activating mesecon pistons this error occurs:

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

minetest/item_drop/init.lua:31: attempt to index a nil value

[Spots]

minetest-0.4.1-win32 , Windows 7 ,item_drop v3

[leo_rockway]

In moreores' init.lua line 60, the drop has an additional "craft" in front of the name of the drop, which confuses your mod.
I believe that your mod is acting correctly, so I changed that line in moreores to 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

drop = item_base..'_lump 1'

It seems to work fine now.

[SegFault22]

why limit stacks to 64? That's too Minecraft-like and slow.

[cHyper]

works fine with latest minecraft version (0.4.2) ... awesome ...
