My idea on how to change the way vehicles operate: from what I can tell from my observation using the vehicles is that you place an object, then move the object, which moves you. it creates a laggy interface as you use it though. my idea was this: what if instead of the object moving you, you become the object? the HUD could change to represent the controls of the device, seeing as how you can't really place blocks while in a vehicle.

when you enter the vehicle it can trigger a few changes to how the player moves through the environment. things like the jumpheight, speed, whether fly is enable, etc. I figured this approach to it would reduce the lag on the user end, and enable a much smother movement through the world. as for how it renders, would it be possible to make it so that when "in" the vehicle, it changes the charater model so that the character shows up as someone inside said vehicle?

It is debatable as to whether this is entirely possible with the current API, but I think that the API should be modified so that this could be used.

I really hope these ideas work, and help create a better vehicle system for the coding in the game.

Hi everyone!
I tried to create a 4x2 workbench, but I've some troubles with "on_rightclick" --> "minetest.show_formspec"
Could someone please help me here:

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_node("workbench:workbench", {
    description = "Workbench",
    tiles = {"workbench.png"},
    groups = {choppy=3,flammable=3},
    sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(),
-- ???    on_rightclick = function()
-- ???    minetest.show_formspec()
-- ???        "size[8,7;]"
-- ???        "list[current_player;craft;0,0;4,2;]"
-- ???        "list[current_player;craftpreview;7,0;1,1;]"
-- ???        "list[current_player;main;0,4;8,4;]"

btw, you need to use:

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

on_rightclick = function(pos, clicker)
minetest.show_formspec(PLAYER, FORMSPEC_NAME, FORMSPEC)

My idea was about setting custom keys, so it's possible to give them to someone else (to share a chest).
But the other person does not know the code/password of the key (Because it's stored in metadata)

The bad point in this: Hacked/modified clients could(?) get the metadata and clone the key until everybody has a key to open that chest.

Therefore I though, the owner (/placer) of the chest could be able ato change the required key to get into that chest.
A bit complicated to describe, but I'll try to create that mod self :)

Have you tried my mod?
He adds metadata to a chest, which is a code.
At the same time gives you a key.
You can also create copies of the key to give to whoever you want.
You do not need to have the keys in hand to open the chest, just have them in your inventory.

No, sorry I haven't tried it yet.
Whatever, I was bored and made a raw-mod, some optinal textures missing, but else it seems to work fine.

With my locks mod you can do that. The chest "knows" who is allowed to access it. Specific keys for specific chests are IMHO too impractical for daily use.

gold, silver, mithril and diamond has not so much use

so my idea is to have a mod which concentrates of using these ores for recipes

i listed some ideas here:

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=131405#p131405

but i have some more:

glowing gold/mithril/diamond block

0 = nothing
X = gold/mithril/diamond - block
I = torch

0 0 0
0 X 0
0 I 0

mithril glass

> mithril-block in furnace >> 9x mithril glass
(because mithril lump gives you mithril ingots)

mithril /gold /silver /diamond or mese -checkers (like in more blocks)

> recipe like more blocks, but with gold/silver/mithril lumps/ and diamond/mese-crystals

edit: i want to start working on this mod

i would like to make textures and recipes for this mod, but i don't want to do coding.

so i need someone with experience on coding.

you could help me making this mod (if you have time and when you want to do something)

Idea: An air bottle ... to get air, underwater.

[Krock]

Idea: An air bottle ... to get air, underwater.

then a lava suit should be added, too

Not a bad idea, would require a damage_per_second workaround.

[rubberduck]

another mod idea:

random loading screens

everytime a map is loading, you get a random loading screen from a folder called like "loading-screens".

there should be some sample images and you could put some more in or folder.

Better a by-server-sent preview of the world in the background, but that already goes into developement of the MT clients.

Mod Idea: Extend Store/Money to a Global Exchange

The idea I have is that everyone can place ask/bid prices on materials in a single, global market, with the additional option of market orders. I think it would be great for economy oriented servers. The only downside is that there wouldn't be as much incentive to build stores, so the idea I have is that if you bought locally at a store, the server could kick back 5% in credits (or the global market could "charge" some amount, like 5%).

That would make people want to build/visit stores. Other incentives could be dictated by store owners, like having "exclusive" prices that they simply don't post to the global market.

um doctor who kjoel's mod is out dated

[lexmarks]

I would like to have a mod with metal blocks.
But the block should sound when walking on it.

I made some sounds of footsteps on metal surface to look like the player is standing on a platform or floor of secret bases.

I'm sorry for English. I'm using google translator.

1: a teleport controlled by another linked block
A: is the controller
B: is the door
C: is the destination and return pad
[spoiler=method]player places A+B
player connects A to B
player tells A where to put C
C saves the nodes identity of what it is replacing
C force loads The chunk
C connects to B
Player hits A
C disconnects from B
C is destroyed and the node replaced
[/spoiler]
2Multi-Sky dome:
it changes your sky dome (personally-if possible)
depending on the player location(i would be happy with a location defined day/night/normal feature)

I might include this in a part of my variator mod...

I don't know whether it's been mentioned before, but some way of speeding up sending PMs. Rather than entering all the commands in game, perhaps it could be coded that PM's get delivered to a locked crate of some sort (like a mailbox) belonging to that player, for collection when it is visited.

You could also use the box to send PM's to players, perhaps by selecting an address out of the 'items' grid and then typing the message into an input box, then hit a 'send' button.

It could be fitted with the 'flag' as used for dropboxes to indicate fresh mail.

Just a thought. It's probably a complete sod to code now I've said that......
