[Modpack] Dreambuilder [20170402-1958]

[VanessaE]

Dreambuilder's steel ingots and blocks are called "wrought iron" (a side effect of the Technic mod, as it has multiple grades of iron and steel) and work everywhere that steel ingots/blocks called for. However, I don't think it's possible to craft a wrench anymore - you may have to /giveme to get it.

The set-home and go-home buttons basically duplicate the /sethome and /home commands (and use the same data file) as found in minetest_game, and as far as I know require the same set of privileges.

Please raise an issue for that against the Unified Inventory mod ( https://github.com/minetest-technic/unified_inventory ) and I or someone else will look into it.

[Marshall_maz]

Please don't remove or disable That home and go-home buttons by default.
You can't play this game without it.
That's a feature not a bug.

[VanessaE]

Build #20150701-1856, updated worldedit. And no, I won't be messing with those buttons in "full" mode ("lite" mode lacks them for the sake of space, because you can usually still just do /sethome and /home).

Hi there,

First off let me say I enjoy playing on your 'vanilla' server, though a list of all your other servers somewhere would be nice as well :D

Now to my issue, I downloaded the latest version of your dream builder mod, but I am having an issue. When I start the game with the mod installed I get the following error message

"ModError: ModError: Failed to load and run E:\minetest\minetest-0.4.12\bin\..\mods\dreambuilder_game\init.lua"

that is also the error that the text file shows as well.
So what am i doing wrong? is there a way to fix this?

Thank you
rmarks

You musn't place it in the mods folder , you must place it in the games folder.
This is a subgame , not a mod. And all sub games goes in the games folder. ( the same folder where you will see minetest_game)

[VanessaE]

Build #20150709-1507, updated signs_lib and notice mod.

[VanessaE]

Build #20150712-1612, updated technic, moreblocks, and moreores. The latter two are re-cloned from Calinou's recently-moved-back-to-github repositories.

[VanessaE]

Build #20150719-2114: Multiple changes:

First and foremost, brought base minetest_game data up to date.

Updated moretrees, plantlife, unified_inventory, moreblocks, markers, caverealms, and streets.

Fixed the wrongly-colored junglewood in the angled_walls mod (the current light-colored wood snuck in at some point in the recent past).

Added give_initial_stuff mod from minetest_game - it is disabled by default.

Removed the future_ban mod, as it's rather outmoded and is superseded by xban2.

I have switched the game to use git submodules where possible. This means that cloning is a bit different now. To clone the repo fresh:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/VanessaE/dreambuilder_game.git

After cloning, you can update it with:
git pull && git submodule update --recursive --remote

Existing Dreambuilder installs prior to today cannot be updated this way, use this command instead:
git pull && git submodule init && git submodule update

[VanessaE]

Build #20150720-2039, fixed the xpanes mod (the wrong copy snuck in, copy & paste error)

EDIT: build #20150720-2051, added https://github.com/minetest/minetest_ga ... 9013265c4a from minetest_game

EDIT: build #20150720-2213, updated homedecor

[VanessaE]

Build #20150721-0510, updated homedecor/lrfurn

[VanessaE]

Build #20150723-2353, farming_plus got switched to an older fork by accident. fixed.

EDIT: build #20150724-0030, accidentally removed the default farming mod. oops :-)

[VanessaE]

Build #20150727-0156, updated pipeworks and technic, and added an experimental patch to areas mod (est's commit to use the 'areastore' feature of the engine)

[VanessaE]

Build #20150727-0624, updated that areas patch, updated plantlife.

EDIT: build #20150727-0657, updated homedecor

[VanessaE]

Build #20150728-0822, updated gloopblocks, homedecor, and mesecons

EDIT: build #20150728-1249, fixed the hotbar default size.

Hi VanessaE , I would just like to report/ask something.

Whenever I want to get the latest version of the subgame I go to your git repo and there I click on the " download zip " button. This always downloaded a .zip file (master) that I then extracted and have been working fine for a long time.

Right now however , when doing that , a lot of the mods in the zip file is empty folders resulting in the game crashing on startup. When I browse the git repo I see that all of these affected mod folder have strange folder names on the repo. ( not just the mod name but some more stuff in the folder name ). I assume this has something to do with the resulting master zip file having empty folders.

So I wanted to inform you of that. I don't know if you are aware of the issue or what is causing it.
I don't now if it's a git issue or intended.

Your tar file from your web site is unaffected and have all folders complete.

[VanessaE]

Don't use the ZIP method on Github. Dreambuilder, like a lot of git repositories, uses submodules. Github, for whatever reason, does not include submodules into the ZIP - it just grabs the "base" project. My tarball is built from the files already on my computer, and the script I use to build it ignores git concepts like submodules, so it always has the whole project.

Always use the instructions I gave in this post. Since you update frequently, it's best if you just delete what you have and do:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/VanessaE/dreambuilder_game

Then in the future, update it with:

git pull && git submodule update --recursive --remote

[Marshall_maz]

Thanx VanessaE , I figured it was something like that so I just started learning git now to do it the right way.

[VanessaE]

Build #20150730-0916, updated homedecor and unified inventory

EDIT: build #20150730-0944, updated moretrees also

[Marshall_maz]

VanessaE , those git commands works great thanx.
Just 1 question. The dreambuilder_game folder that is created by git clone is 128mb , vs 30mb when it's unzipped from the tar file. Why is the git version so much bigger ?

[VanessaE]

Because it contains the entire commit history - every change I've made since the initial release.

[VanessaE]

Build #20150801-0650, updated moreblocks, carbone_mobs, markers, travelnet, cottages, and replacer.

EDIT: build #20150801-1029, updated homedecor

EDIT: build #20150801-1039, updated pipeworks

EDIT: build #20150801-1503, updated travelnet again

[VanessaE]

Build #20150802-1405, updated travelnet again.

(the majority of the first post)

Pretty nice except i am having technical difficulties
this is my error i got
07:10:42: ERROR[main]: ModError: ModError: Failed to load and run C:\Users\mason PC\Desktop\minetest-0.4.12-win64-msvc\minetest-0.4.12\bin\..\games\dreambuilder_game-master\mods\xban2\init.lua

[ExeterDad]

@golden112
Please rename the game folder.
dreambuilder_game-master needs to be dreambuilder_game

[golden112]

@golden112
Please rename the game folder.
dreambuilder_game-master needs to be dreambuilder_game

still the same error it said could not load a mod on the dream bulider game so i checked it for some reason the Xban2 and the worldedit is missing its LUA and depends and textures files

[VanessaE]

Dreambuilder is a subgame, not a modpack.

Make sure you did a recursive clone (or used my official tarball -- NOT THE github zip), rename it as Exeter said, put it in your "games" folder, and make a new world with it.

do i need to change anything in the lua or is it something else?
PLEASE NOTE I OPENED THE LUA WITH NOTEPAD

[VanessaE]

I need to see the full content of the error message - you only pasted the first line.

Also, you should not edit anything in the game code.

Update your Minetest engine to a recent development build - something newer than May 12, 2015. 0.4.12-release is too old (Feb 18, 2015). The game is calling for a function that exists only in recent commits.
