Ore Module:

In it's current state, the ore module adds the ores from GloopOres back into the game, refurbished and lookin' good :D

Parts Module: (disabled by default)

Adds bits and bobs for use in other modules. Currently, a chainlink. I'm so creative.

Tools Module:

Adds handsaws and hammers, the former for breaking "snappy" things and the latter for breaking "bendy" things.

Table Module: (disabled by default)

Adds a fancy table. w00t?

Compat Module:

Adds external compatibility, i.e. ore module to GloopOres.

OTHER INFO

Depends: default
To run this modpack, you need only the mods found in minetest_game.

Could the other two ores get metal blocks as well? Those green and red colors are so pretty. You might want to put up a download link.

Well this was a very epic fail.

Quick hotfix for desert iron and coal.

Thank you for the download link, GloopMaster. I like how each of your ores has a different look. Little details like this can make caves look more interesting.

Magical elven powers.

It's nice to see you're back! Good timing too, I was just checking the forum for ore-adding plugins.

I get a small error when I run this though.

You need latest minetest_game. https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/commit/97db50a2fe055c1e74031a7cd2d4bb5c5f222615 or later.

Backup copy of the first version of this mod, in case it disappears: http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/glooptest.zip

With the understanding that the correct texture license is actually cc-by-sa without the -nc part, despite what is written in the files therein.

Why? Just relicense. If you make it WTFPL then there will never be a problem.

that would cause a problem in and of itself.

problem being that the ingots and orelumps are licensed under CC-BY-SA

And ruin the flow of the textures with defaults?

I must confess that the whole licensing issue has deterred me from even thinking about contributing textures and sound effects. There must be someone that can help you out, GloopMaster. Someone who has had experience with modding and giving mods licenses should know what to do. I wonder if Sokomine could assist you in any way?

Minor issue. I've sorted things out now.

I see ore generation API with tools(craft) definition. Very cool! No need for all those separate ore mods. What exactly does the API offer? Some documentation of the capabilities would be nice.

EDIT:
Is it compatible with the old gloopores?

Yes, very much so. However my gems version appears to have had issues. Also the ore registry offers basically the ability to register nodes, craftitems, and tools, on top of generation paramters in a single function. I suggest looking at the current ores to get an idea.

I'm glad to see things are straitened out. now.

UPDATED.

ERMEHGERD.

I'M ACTUALLY WORKING ON A PROJECT INSTEAD OF JUST LETTING IT ROT?!

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!

<insert "this is sparta" sequence here>

Ok, seriously now. Info is in the changelog, download is as usual github.

Heh. Some mods never even get updates.. :P

Since neko's repositories are dead, use this link to get my fork of glooptest, which is identical to neko's last known copy, as far as I am aware:

https://github.com/VanessaE/glooptest

Updated for full function in Minetest versions 0.4.7 and higher.

The textures here look awesome!
(Not to mention they look better than most modders first attempts. *points at the minimal_development_test game texture set*)

+1 especially the minerals textures, but the ore blocks look too simple IMHO.

Zeg, I was referring to the tools on the first page.

For the ore blocks, could the textures look similar to the new ones for the base game? Could the rest of the ores have ore blocks as well?
