Footprints

Has anyone else wondered what the grass_footsteps.png texture was? I was looking around defaultsettings.cpp and found a setting called "footprints". When enabled, players leave trails of footprints when they walk! Add "footprints = 1" to your minetest.conf, or, if you're on your own server, say "/setting footprints = 1" to enable it.

You looked through the file pretty good to find this.
Edit1: if you get lost by walking you can follow the footprints back.

They should when you restart minetest.

Now we can play Pacman if we use this setting.

Neat.
default_grass_footsteps.png for v4
Unfortunately on my client (and I cleared the cache) the footprints only show up after I disconnect and reconnect. It does seem to update in real time for my server.

Here is a quick bit of code that you can add the the default init.lua file to remove footprints
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
minetest.register_abm({
nodenames = { "default:dirt_with_grass_footsteps" },
interval = 10,
chance = 100,
action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider)
minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="default:dirt_with_grass"})
end
})

Edited Gambit's MineToon default_grass to see how it would look. Realized the direction of the footprints by way of the texture doesn't necessarily point in the direction of travel, but the premise is cool

It gets annoying with big, showy footprints. I suggest a faded, or small footprint. I forgot to change the default one and it wreaked havoc on my already epic grass.

I'm going to attempt a slightly shadowed area near the center on the next pass. That combined with rp's addition should make it not too aggressive.
