How can I maintain an entity's data to restart a server?

When I create a variable such as self.owner="bob", after rebooting the server it will be null.

[DS-minetest]

@BrunoMine: You can use on_staticdata eg.

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_activate = function(self, staticdata)
if staticdata ~= "" then
self.owner = staticdata
end
end,

on_staticdata = function(self)
return self.owner
end,
--...

Is it possible to use a texture for the inventory slots?

[orwell]

@BrunoMine: You can use on_staticdata eg.
...

If you have multiple values:

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_activate = function(self, staticdata)
  if staticdata ~= "" then
    local t=minetest.deserialize(staticdata)
    self.owner = t.owner
    self.otherstuff = t.otherstuff
  end
end,
--!!! not on_staticdata!!!--
get_staticdata = function(self)
  return minetest.serialize({
    owner=self.owner
    otherstuff=self.otherstuff 
  })
end,
--...


minetest.serialize turns a table into a string, deserialize does the opposite.

Is it possible to use a texture for the inventory slots?

Which ones? The ones in the inventory form (pressing E) or the hotbar on_screen?
Inv form: see player:set_inventory_formspec(). You can put an image[] element behind the inventory list and set listcolors to transparent.
hotbar: There's a texture with a specific name you can override.

[D00Med]

The ones in the inventory form.
Thanks :D

I have a simple mesecon node I want to play sound (looped) when activated

how to animate a model? (ouch i'm sure it's a bad question)

[SAMIAMNOT]

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but I don't know Lua. What would be the simplest way to make leaves decay (for games that don't support decaying leaves)?

[D00Med]

How to animate a model in blender:
(do this in the default view)
Before you start, make sure your model is joined(no separate cubes etc.), if they aren't select them all and click join from the tool panel. Press 't' to change to wireframe mode. Then you'll need to add bones. Add one using the 'create' panel, and then(IMPORTANT), switch to edit mode and add any other bones you need. If you select the little circle on the end of a bone and press 'e', you can make a bone that is connected to the one you have highlighted. Make a bone for every part that should move, for example a head would have at least one bone. Then in object mode, first select the model, then the bones(not the other way around) and press 'p', and choose "with automatic weights" from the menu. If you're lucky this will work nicely, if you aren't you'll have to do more work. Highlight the bones and press 'ctrl+tab'(pose mode), and highlight a bone(it should be blue), then use 'r' to rotate it a bit to see if it works. Rightclick afterwards to cancel, this is just a test. Do the same for all bones. It's likely that some bones will move parts you don't want them to.

Fixing bone problems:
Staying in 'pose mode', right click the model and switch to edit mode. You can then select the face(or lines and vertices) of a moving part. Once you have done this(just for one part), find the panel on the right(or wherever you have the properties panel with all the icon tabs) and click the icon of an inverted triangle. You should then see a list of bones(you may need to make the panel a bit wider). Find the bone you need the part to attach to and rightclick it. Then choose 'assign'. If you don't know which bone to assign to, just go to object mode, then right click on the correct bone. It's name should show up in the bottom left corner. If you are trying to stop a bone controlling a certain part, you would do the same, but this time click 'remove' instead of 'assign'.

Now that the bones are assigned you can actually start animating the model. Down the bottom of the window there should be a timeline. Move the green line to 1 or 0 or wherever the start is, move your mouse over the model and press 'i', then choose 'locrotscale'. This is how you insert a frame into the animation. It's best to do this straight away so you don't lose the initial position of the model. Then you can move to a different frame(like 5 or 6) and use the bones to put the model into the right starting pose for an animation. You can move, rotate, or scale bones(although if you scale bones you can't scale the model easily afterwards). When you have done that, use 'i' to insert the frame.
You don't have to do this for every frame, just for the important ones. For example, to make a bone bend, you would make one frame with it's stating position, move a few frames ahead(like 10) and then rotate it and make a new frame. Blender will automatically fill in the frames in-between with the rotation of the arm.
Notes:
You can delete frames with 'alt+i'
You can set the end and start points of the animation, this is useful for testing.

I hope this is useful for you and that I haven't missed anything important.
Also you should keep an eye on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=16455

Also about leafdecay, add this to the groups of the node "leafdecay=1"

        action_off = function (pos, node)
            monochrome.stop_sound(pos)
            minetest.swap_node(pos, {name = "monochrome:mc_off"})

            monochrome.play_sound(pos)
        end,
    }}
})

This looks correct, IDK what's the problem.
But best add an after_dig_node() callback in which you stop the sound, too. maybe that works...

No Armature?
There are many videos about it on youtube. Make sure to export the model to .b3d format to use in MT.

collection of bones = armature??

@Orwell:
Turns out it was just conflicting with something else in the mod its supposed to be apart of,
when I test it by itself as a separate mod, it works as expected.
I still added "on_construct" and "on_destruct" like you suggested.
Without it, the sounds still play after the node is dug, so thanks for that little gem of wisdom.
I haven't tried it yet, but I am thinking I can remove the sound functions from the mesecon action on/off part.
Thanks for your help

Hi folks ) I found a lot of cruel magic, but don't know WTH is does.

If you start next code as is and punch anywhere two time you will see 2 entity with his different metadata based on us_time().
Now go away from it while it disappering (server destroy ones).
Ingame console show us correct different names in get_staticdata()
Now go back to entities while its appears again.
Another message show us right different names accepted via staticdata string (looks like server remember it f each entity).

BUT, if you select in code t = true (another block code will work) then after entity disappeared, message show equaled names.

Why additional table added in same place works different ???

Each entity gets a copy of all the variables in the entity definition. P is a table pointer, so all entities get a pointer to the same table, so you end up modifying the name of the same table for each entity, and accessing the table will give you the same table each time.

[Nyarg]

P is a table pointer

Oops it's my epic fail. I completely forgot it (
But now all works fine, thank you )

I have a new little question.
Is it possible increase visible range for entities more than ~50 nodes far ?
I need ~200 nodes far visible for entity, but experiments with minetest.conf take no effect.

[azekill_DIABLO]

Thank you doomed! but in minetest how do i active animation, for an entity?

[BrunoMine]

I have a question about the combination of textures.
The problem is for cases where the textures resolution changes.

For example:

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

"[combine:16x32:0,0=default_stone.png:0,16=default_wood.png"


This code works great for reusing the default textures, but will not work if you apply an texture pack with higher resolutions (32x32, 64x64)

I want to use default game textures in UV mapping to mesh. This maintains the theme of the textures packs without it being necessary to be created out for specific texture packs.

[orwell]

I have a new little question.
Is it possible increase visible range for entities more than ~50 nodes far ?
I need ~200 nodes far visible for entity, but experiments with minetest.conf take no effect.

Maybe play with these two settings at the same time:

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

active_block_range = 10
active_object_send_range_blocks = 10


=256 nodes
Such high values MAY CAUSE MASSIVE LAG! Keep that in mind.

[orwell]

Thank you doomed! but in minetest how do i active animation, for an entity?

In Blender, export it to b3d (you need an extra plugin for that!)
Write down the start and end frames of your animation.
Then, with an entity 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

self.object:set_animation({x=<start frame>, y=<end frame>}, 15, 0, true)


The 15 is the animation speed, adjust as needed. The true means that the animation is looped, if false, the animation stops at the end frame.

(Contrary to lua_api.txt, the parameters to set_animation are NOT optional!)

[Nyarg]

Maybe play with these two settings at the same time:
=256 nodes

I set it but have no effect.
So it's good if anyone share actual maintest.conf that gives entity be visible ~200 nods far then I comparise it with my unworked minetest.conf.

[Nyarg]

Maybe play with these two settings at the same time:
=256 nodes

I set it but have no effect.

Thank again. Now I found what went wrong !!!
New settings aditionally need client (not even creating new world) be restarted !
Wow now my entities stay visible really FARrrrrr ! MUAHAHAHA

[burli]

Wow now my entities stay visible really FARrrrrr ! MUAHAHAHA

But you should know that other parts of the game are effected too, like ABMs

[burli]

Is it possible to use modpack names for dependencies?

[azekill_DIABLO]

*trying*

no. it still think it does not exist sorry. :/

[burli]

*trying*

no. it still think it does not exist sorry. :/

Thx for testing. Couldn't try it myself right now. Issue submitted. I think that this would be useful

[orwell]

If you depend on whole modpacks you are doing sth wrong. What if one mod gets removed from the modpack, but you need it?
Better list exactly the mods from the modpack you depend on. If you need to distingush between a mod and a modified version of that mod in a modpack, test for something unique this modified mod defines inside your mod code.

[DS-minetest]

I've got a very big problem. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm not sure enough to open an issue.

To test I made this mod:

Entity2 should be always attached to entity1, even after de- and activation.
I spawned the entity and flew away and came again and watched what happens.
I'm pretty sure that something is wrong. I'm just not sure what exactly is wrong. The reason for this is that different things happen.
On join everything is ok.
Most of the times entity2 isn't attached for some reason.
It seems like if I don't fly far enough away the entities are deactivated but not activated again.
Try it out yourself and be confused like me.

If anyone would be able to help me please?

I am going to update my angled walls mod but...., am currently changing all the code for the angled glass (windows).

The excellent model pithy provided for the windows accepts 2 textures, the material and the glass so, I want to correct the code to utilize this. It will really clean up the code and the mod.

However, upon setting off on it..., I added a separate function to register the glass node, etc..
Nothing was showing up so, I then decided to add a dofile to the init.lua and split the glass into it's own mod.

I am stuck now because still, nothing shows up.
Does anyone see what's wrong and why this first node is not even showing up in inventory at all?
As far as I can tell, everything is as it should be, yet no results so, obviously not. WTH am I missing here?

Thank you
