Very helpful. Unfortionately it collides with the bag mod. Would it be possible to use both?

get the latest version of bag mod, they work together just fine (thanks to inventory_plus). Same with Armor, that should just drop in too with no conflicts.

Thanks! Very nice and helpful.

This is awesome! But some of my users prefer the commands, while others prefer the graphical interface. I tried to write a plugin that hooks into yours and adds commands, but your local variables cannot be accessed from outside your script. So I had to build a patch. Feel free to integrate it or don't, or modify it if you don't like it.

Adding this to the end of the file adds the /home and /sethome commands, both without arguments, that function as you would expect, and use the same set of home locations as the rest of your plugin. I had to do some wacky conversions, because the chat command API returns a name, but your plugin expects a player object. So, this takes a name, converts it to a player object, and passes it to your function, which immediately converts it back into a name. I should have probably come up with something more efficient, but hey, at least it works.



EDIT: I might integrate your bookmakrs_gui with the /go command one of these days, when I'm not being so lazy.

Hope you dont mind but I've changed the mod slightly so that clicking the Home button automatically takes you to static_spawn or 0,0,0 if it's not set... A few newbs on the server keep getting lost and ask to take them back to spawn, this way your mod does it for me :)

Please find attached the new init.lua file...

When this already is open, I'd like to make a little correction too.

Source: https://github.com/cornernote/minetest-home_gui/blob/master/home_gui/init.lua#L46

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

output:write(math.floor(v.x).." "..math.floor(v.y).." "..math.floor(v.z).." "..k.."\n")

This will teleport players into the node below them.

..would solve it.

EDIT: another suggestion: Only allow players with interact to set their home.

Do you can add the option (on/off) in init.lua for time limit to using home button, for example player will can use button "home" not more than once every 20 minutes. I think it is a good idea add the option to enable teleport home with a time delay. I mean if player press "Home" he will teleporting after 5 seconds timeout, it will very good for pvp servers.
