This code adds floating particles in water. What about adding this to V 0.2 of this mod? (Maybe with another texture for the particles)

I'll maybe add this

Congrats to your 600th post! ^^

Yay ^^:D

Congrats, you still playing?

is possible to make rain or snow with this?

yes

need to do it in C++ like that other guy did with weather, then we can have high performance particles

I guess the fact that it is lua instead of c++ isn't the main problem. The most important thing is that particles cannot be controlled by a server - It must be client-side only. So for now, it's good to have this mod, but don't put too much work into it, so if someone makes this in c++ it was not totally for nothing.

yes, that's right, all we need now is some form of way to see if someone is digging.

Update!!
Changelog:

• Colored Digging Particles

Thank's Sfan5 !

You're amazing.

little bubbles in front of your face while under water would be neat:D or maybe when you first jump in

Hey, i'm new in Minetest, and this mod didn't work. I create mods folder in data folder, and move particle folder into mods folder, and i haven't got a particle effects. I only use a Minecraft Texture Pack. What's wrong?

what version are you using? and the mod folder doesnt need to be made its in the root directory somewhere.

I download minetest from this page(latest stable version, windows 7):
http://c55.me/minetest/download.php

This is my folders structure:
bin data doc world

mods(i place mods folders here)

Get this one

Update!
Changelog:

• Big Performance Improvement (make one on_dignode callback instead of ~30 of them)
• Digging Particles support for Mesecons

Download in first Post

BTW for Modders: If you want Digging Particle Support for your Mod make a List with all Block and their Color
Example:

Available Colors: (List may be outdated)

• black
• brown
• gray
• green
• lightgray
• red
• sandcolor
• white
• yellow

If you need extra Colors make a Texture for them called p_mycolor.png in the texture Folder.
Send me the List and extra Colors (if there are any) and i'll include it

Nice!

Just had a random though looking at the code: would it be possible to have Particles Mod react to a node that belongs to a specific group? If so, define a custom group namespace in your mod and mod Devs would add that to their own mod code: instant integration without dependency.

Again, random thought not based on any actual working code reality.

This is fucking handy Sfan!

Particles Mod can support any Mod, without any Dependency

omg thanks man for make particles to the blocks

My idea came when I read this, which is a dependency of interaction on your part if I read it correctly.

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

--== Modname ==--
{"modname:my_block1", "gray"},
{"modname:my_block2", "sandcolor"},

I need to add it to my Mod, you don't need to add something to e.g. BobBlocks

Right, I get that and it's not what I'm saying.

I have the current groups on my nodes:



The engine knows that my block belongs to those groups and acts accordingly.

My question was "would it be possible to have Particles Mod react to a node that belongs to a specific group?", meaning this as an example:



and arbitrarily 2 equates to, lets say, red.

If the engine allowed the mod to react to that value in someway, you would not need to add things to your mod (i.e. this is a dependency of a different sort) and I could decide one day to just add it to my Mod without needing your adding/updating/me waiting for server Admins to update their servers/etc.

Does that make more sense?

Just saw this post:

What Error do you get?

Install Particles Mod, do /clearobjects, deinstall Particles Mod
That should work

Thank Sfan5,

His work !
