[Mod] Towntest [towntest] - Grow a town in minetest.

Nice mod, but:

License of map: CC-BY 3.0 -> feel free to remix, but give credit in readme

I would be fine now to release it under the terms of CC0 or MIT, but I did release it as CC-BY.

Found a bug: If you walk away, they disappear, even if the are busy building something.

I keep getting crashes:

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

18:11:40: VERBOSE[main]: error_message = ServerError: LuaError: error: ...games\towntest\mods\towntest\towntest_chest\init.lua:125: attempt to index local 'npc' (a nil value)

This is with the latest sfan5 build and the latest nightly package.

Towntest, towntest_npc and towntest_chest have to be seperate folders and not in the folder towntest.

Towntest, towntest_npc and towntest_chest have to be seperate folders and not in the folder towntest.

I did that, but it still happened. the result was the same because there was a modpack.txt in the original folder.

It's fun to see how the worker produces the building :-) I like the way he takes the stuff out of the chest, moves to the right destination and places the nodes there. That's close to the inhabitants I hope will one day be there to live in all those houses.

It might be a good idea to optimize the Worldedit imports first. Right now large buildings take a considerable amount of time to build because the worker runs to and fro between walls on opposite sides. That does not matter with small decorative buildings. Large buildings take extremly long.

init.lua:125 has nothing about npc in the lastest Git. Please download the version that is there now, let me know if you still have any issues.

error report:

09:37:31: ERROR[main]: ...32\bin\..\games\minetest_game\mods\towntest\init.lua:15: bad argument #1 to 'random' (interval is empty)
09:37:31: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:
09:37:31: ERROR[main]: [C]: in function 'random'
09:37:31: ERROR[main]: ...32\bin\..\games\minetest_game\mods\towntest\init.lua:15: in main chunk

the error comes in

towntest.game_id = math.random(100000000000)

when i lower this value to ..lets say to 10 or 100 it runs.... is here a difference if you start a new game or use a already running game ?




Question:
can i run towntest together with your deploy mods ?

[cornernote]

I don't know how to compile, that's why I used the dev builds.

[cornernote]

[chris36202]

[cornernote]

[chris36202]

[chris36202]

so when your are done the updating for this mod can you make a vilger mod like minecraft

[chris36202]

[cornernote]

builder inventory - is the stuff the NPC builder has taken from the chest and is currently using to build your structure
lumberjack inventory - does nothing, coming soon when i add new NPCs ;)

[PewDiePie]

[cornernote]

Looks like you have an old version. Delete this folder:
C:\Users\Mary\Documents\minetest-0.4.3-win32\minetest-0.4.3-win32\bin\..\games\dwarves\mods\cornernote-minetest-towntest-db4a1be\

Then download the latest zipball from here:
https://github.com/cornernote/minetest-towntest/zipball/master

Then unzip it into your mods folder. Let me know how you go.

[Gage]

it seems that it just wont work UGHHH i think ill just give up ):

[tkerwel]

i am not sure but looks for me a bit confused where you put the mods...

it should be in the folder......... \games\minetest_game\mods

in this folder you put all the mods you want to add to minetest....

so i dont understand why there is \games\dwarves\mods...

you sure you put this i the right way ?

[Gage]

i have it in swarves becouse i acsidently deleted mintest game so i have minimal and dwarves can i still put it in the regular mod folder

[cornernote]

Try redownload minetest_game

[Nat Faulk]

Awesome Mod!!

downloaded it yesterday, but it took ages to get it to work having the same error as others are reporting.

finally found that by changing the 100000000000 to a lower value in towntest\init.lua below solved the problem for me

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

-- unique game id, needed to cleanup npcs
towntest.game_id = math.random(100000000000)

A few minor tweaks you could get your NPC to survey, map and repair buildings :-)

PilzAdam suggested that he dig the nodes before placing them, and then return what he digs to the chest.

This would achieve the same as a repair. I'll put it in next time i'm tinkering in this mod.

[RockerGirl4Eva]

Is there a certain name I need to name this folder for it to work? I've tried renaming it 'towntest' and 'Towntest' but nothing is working, cause once i download the mod and put it in the correct folder the game wont load....so somthing is not right
