FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I edited Jeja's timber mod to create this mod.
There I got the name.
It works like the timber mod but it destroys the leaves and the fruits, too. Of course, the leaves won't be dropped - only saplings. Hold shift to avoid its function.

How to install a mod?

It works well, but does not automatically gather wood.

Thanks, good mod

Yes, within the inventory. :-)

finished.
Only exchange treecapitator.drop_items = true with treecapitator.drop_items = false at the init.lua file

Thanks , good mod

Like this mod!

Just tried it out with my voltbuild mod. There's one problem. Not all my tree nodes drop the same node as itself. For example, all my rubber tree nodes that have rubber in them just drop a regular rubber tree node when chopped instead of the one with rubber in it and sometimes it'll even drop the item rubber instead of the tree node.

I edited the code. It might work now.

Cool ^_^ Everything appears to be good. Even got the item on a rare occasion instead of the node. Support for your mod has been added to voltbuild's rubber trees.

New version:
— greatly reduced lag if treecapitator.drop_items isn't used (default) (I noticed while testing that capitating gets
. . executed more times because the trees are dug with minetest.node_dig up to the tree head)
— trees only become capitated if they have leaves (or fruits)
— the leaves (and fruits) don't get removed if they could belong to a tree next to the dug one
— 2 new settings:
. . . . – the drop of leaves not only as saplings can be allowed
. . . . – the default used tree values can be changed
— adding different trees with the same stem node could work now
— the stem needs to be at least 2 nodes heigh (Please tell me if I should change this (or add a settingto enable it))
— the trees of the two mods (sumpf and nyanland) are only registered if these mods are installed


before digging:



after digging:

This is very useful. Does it work on moretrees as well? (might be asking a bit much though).

It is certainly more fun felling trees with a mod that digs up the rest automaticly. Normal decay of leaves is also too slow on some servers, so this is a definite plus.

thanks.
I didn't add moretrees' trees yet. I don't know enough about them because this mod is fairly new to my minetest world and on servers I didn't watch them often enough. I don't know exactly how they look like. Maybe every palm tree looks completely similar but I'm not sure.

The tricky thing about moretrees is a how freakin huge they can get, and the fact that they can sometimes overlap other trees. Then there's all the branch tree nodes. It can be a real pain to harvest the big redwoods.

So most of the moretrees have a straight stem, leaves, but also tree nodes, on the top and can be compared a little bit to the usual apple tree.
I would need to add a new type of tree with configurable stem sizes, min- and maxpoints for the top and an option to enable checking tree nodes around different.

It would be really great if moretree trees could be harvested like this. Cutting one down for the wood may easily take half an hour. Most players are not considerate enough to do it in a clean way (=take the entire tree down and replant). My traders are one way around that - they "sell" moretrees wood as admin shops. But sometimes, there's a tree just in the way...

How about a chainsaw-like style which is contain in the technic mod?

I don't know much about this chainsaw.
I think it doesn't preserve the tree(s) next to the sawn one.

Bumping this mod mostly because it's been very useful, but also because I selfishly want updates (still learning lua atm or I'd do it myself). So cool.

help... im not getting any saplings please help

The way this mod works it removed a node and places it as a dropped item, it will not give you saplings unless the mod incorporated such a feature to drop them as well...

well then HOW DO I MAKE IT GIVE ME SAPLINGS?!?

all i need is a small code to give me a random number of saplings every time a tree is treecapitated that i can paste somewhere in the code (where it will execute at the right time)

you need a new version this was a bug

Hello
I get this message, "[treecapitator] Error: Overwriting default:tree went wrong." what is wrong?
Thanks,
JPR

This message means that a tree node (e.g. "default:tree") which became overridden to capitate a tree if it's dug (without shift etc.) became overridden by another mod again, so the treecapitator mod uses minetest.register_on_dignode instead of the after_dig_node of trunk nodes, which causes a little bit more lag but not noticeable.

So it's actually just an info message, not an error.
I guess a mod, not default, redefines "default:tree" without keeping its default values (the ones of minetest.registered_nodes["default:tree"]).

I updated this mod with sound of a falling tree, taken from there http://www.freesound.org/people/ecfike/sounds/139952/.
EDIT: Now in upstream.

thanks, I added it but disabled it by default because the sound was also played if a single trunk block was dug

Hybrid Dog wrote:thanks, I added it but disabled it by default because the sound was also played if a single trunk block was dug

I moved "sound_play" call to "if tree_found then" section. It is fixed sound playing when individual nodes of wood is mined, but when there is at least one another wood node above one mined it still fires the sound.
EDIT:
Ok, finally fixed it by moving "sound_play" call to "if leaf_found then" section.
EDIT2: Removed download, now it's in upstream.

l added it manually because yesterday I made some changes to the mod.

Hi, nice mod, I like it.
I have a suggestion for improvement:
Could you make it so that node breakers from the mesecon mod also trigger the whole tree to be destroyed?
That would make the mod suitable for automated tree farms.

the node breakers are from pipeworks I think

also trigger the whole tree to be destroyed?

it already works, I just tested it, but thanks for the idea

It didn't in my earlier tests, I'll try again...

maybe you need the newest version of pipeworks
