FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi everyone,

this mod implements Fences like known from Minecraft.

Differences (to default Fence):
- new look
- connects to a neighbour Block
- introduces Fencegates
- NEW: impossible to jump over Fence and closed Fencegate

Screenshot:

Although the Fence acts like 1.5 Blocks, you can still build on it.


Recipes:
This mod "overrides" the recipe for the default fence, so when crafting THIS fence will be crafted.
The Fencegate is crafted this way:


Notice:
-This mod does not(!) replace automatically the default fence.
-If you want replace already placed default fences open the "init.lua" and change
the first line to "local override_original = true". Then all placed default fences will be replaced with this fence.

Depends:
default

Info: If you have installed the "Doors mod" the fencegate also has opening/closing sounds.

Download:
Version 1.0: current Release

Version 0.2: beta
Version 0.1: first version
Notice: works with Minetest 0.4.5

Please give Feedback and ideas for improvement

Should Minetest Fences have, some new cool addons Minecraft don't have?

Nice

Wow, how brilliant -.-'

Version 0.2 released.
Changelog:
-Fencegates open like Doors in Minetest 0.4.5 (rightclick)
-Fixed direction when placing Fencegate
-Fixed "opening-problem" of Fencegates

I still have problems with direction of fencegates...
Also It would be nice to have fences that will connect to other blocks - like xfences.

The same problems like before?? If not another vid would be great...

And the fences connect to other blocks:

You can see the connection to the neighbour block and an open fencegate.

But not to every type of block ;) So if you are missing a type, please write here .

So basically your fences are like xfences but more picky. Seems legit.

As far i know xFences has no Fencegates and a different look.

Good mod, I prefer the look of these over the default. The sound that you get when including your doors mod that has working steel door that supports mesecons. This is a combo must have. Should be in default.

Version 1.0 released.
Changelog:
- Fences and closed Fencegates can't be jumped over anymore.

Although the Fences acts like a 1.5 high Block it is still possible to build any Block, torches, or whatever upon it. (See screenshot)

Great, I love it

is there any way to make it connect to other blocks beside wood? it a really nice mod,but also idk why my fences dont replace even that i placed true in the ini....it replces it only when u craft it? and not in the creative menu?

No, this is a limitation in the engine. But it's possible to connect one fence type to another.

EDIT:
If it's possible to connect to other cubic nodes, then it's an ugly hack.

thank you,i found a way to connect other blocks to fences,just : -connect a fence to a plank,-remove plank,-place another block,but still thank you :) God bless you!

Don't listen to Krock - he doesn't know what he's talking about. He even used "if".
There's nothing "ugly" OR "hacky" in checking the drawtype of a node.



Just change all that conditions to smth like


Edit:
One may even search for "fences:"

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

local function dockable(nodename)
    if nodename == "default:wood" or nodename == "default:brick" or nodename == "default:cobble" or nodename == "default:dirt" or nodename == "default:sandstone" or nodename == "default:stone" or string.find(nodename, "fences:fence_wood") or string.find(nodename, "fences:fencegate") then
        return true
    end
end

thank you really much! God bless you! your really good with programing,just like the other modders over here,it really amaze me.

Since default_fence.png seems to not exist anymore or have been replaced (I don't know how it was before 0.4.12), I suggest this addition to follow the new default's fences definition:

then replace all inventory and weld images:
