Power tools: power tap
A rechargeable version of the rubber tap used to extract latex. At the very least, I want a more durable one.

Just chop down the rubber trees (including the logs up in the trees) and wait for leafdecay to drop dozens of saplings, then replant those and use a grinder and extractor to grind and then extract the latex from the wood that you cut. A bit more work I guess, but in the long run you'll produce a lot more product.

I've been looking for an Electric oven... just a furnace powered by mesecons? no need for fuel, as long as it's powered.

I am new with modding and working on one.. however if one already exists I'd appreciate to get it since it may be used by the masses on the servers.

There is an electric oven in the technic mod but it is not an easy mod to set up an electrical network. It not too difficult but it isn't intuitive. You can find it here: viewtopic.php?t=2538 and it will need other mods because it uses parts of them. Other than that, there is another mod that is smaller and lightweight that also has electric furnaces but it hasn't been updated in a while so I don't know if it still works or not. It is called Industrial Test and is here: viewtopic.php?id=5744 and it is a LOT smaller than technic.

I'll have a look at the technic mod and play with it for a while, thanks a lot. After looking a bit into the mods I've seen I think I undertook something quite complicated for a first project! :-)

ive got an idea for a mod. all the flags ever created! including up to the nazi flag and the russian sickle and hammer flag

There is a flag(s?) mod out there that adds a lot of flags. Not all, but plenty. It's even installed on some servers. As to the nazi flag - that would be problematic for German players as it's illegal here to use it except for documentary purposes. While that law may be stupid, it wouldn't be particulary...bright...to use such a flag. It really does not stand for something good.

In some other games I play instead of having the swastika they just have a cross or the Iron Cross shape. But having a mod with swastikas isn't the best idea... I fully agree on that.

A mod, that rather than enchanting, uses things like anvils, 3D printers, replicators, grinders, and Mese to improve tools and make items.

isometric view

Can this be done by a mod?

[Dragonop]

Sorry, wrong word, not sure how to explain with my english skills; fixing the camera angle to be in 3rd person view and point from a high spot (10-20 blocks) to the player (in diagonal, that why I posted "isometric view"), but making the player model point in a fixed direction, and making it rotate with some keys (you can't move the camera). This is not something thet "enables" building (not in a conventional way, unless you work in some method for it), but for making little games or other stuff like that.

I need mod which teleport player to the bed (to this bed viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11304&hilit=beds and/or to this viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2625) if player slept on it. To teleport you can use chat command, for example "/home" or button in inventory (inventory_plus and unified_inventory mods). If player never slept on bed he will be teleported to the static spawnpoint.

Instead, I will place under all my posts a link to your mod.

[sact]

Would adding a support for compressed mods be possible, .zip, .tar.gz? That would smoothen the end user-experience.

[bark]

I want to make/see created a mod that adds a "treasure-chest" that can only be emptied once per player.

When placed, the chest must be configured with which items it is to contain. Once configured, the chest can be opened and emptied by any player, but only once per player.

Can someone can point me in a direction as to how I can achieve this?

[kaeza]

One way is modifying the default locked chests, removing the owner checks for inventory withdrawals, effectively making it take-only for everyone except the owner who can put/take items at leisure.

The `bones` mod also has code to "remove" the inventory formspec once the "chest" is empty. Take a look at it.

[bark]

Thanks, that is great advice! Will post back here when I have something.

+1 for this idea, then you could have a long journey, following clues, to a chest that can't be emptied by the first player to find it :D

Not sure if this helps but you could modify myitemchest to work the way you want it to.

I don't know if this was said before, but could it be able to make a duplication chest? Like the Chicken Chest in MC. You put an item in and it clones it.

you can already clone every node using that green clone block which you can find at nyanland

Done!
I'll be uploading the code to github shortly...

Sorry wrong topic
Is it possible to create a craft that yields something that already has damage. I'm trying to add boiling water to the thirsty mod and want the canteen to loose water when it gets cooked, I know I can spawn things with damage, and initial_give can do damaged objects, but I can't seem to find a way to make a craft recipe that makes something with damage. I'll be cooking if it makes any difference.

You could try using register_on_craft with set_wear. https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... 1881-L1886 & https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L2724

(I presume this is what you mean by damage...)

[Nathan.S]

Amaz, I'll have to try that out, thanks.

[Amaz]

I don't know if you got anywhere with it, but I quickly threw this together this morning and it seems to work!

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_on_craft(function(itemstack)
    if itemstack:get_name() == "default:pick_mese" then
        itemstack:set_wear(25000)
        return itemstack
    end
end)

My last post I made shortly before going to bed, and I just got up, so I didn't have a chance to try anything out, but I certainly will now. :)

Update:
Well it works as expected when crafting, but cooking things doesn't seem to trigger this. >.<

From the minetest.register_on_craft page (http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_on_craft):

IT DOESN'T WORK FOR FURNACE COOKING RECIPES!

[Nathan.S]

Hmm, somehow I missed that page. :S

I guess I could always make a new machine that would be used for purifying water, as I can easily set wear on the canteens with such a system.

Idea: Landscaping tool / brush tool
The tool creates a sphere (of chosen node) at the center of the node the tool-holding player is pointing at while clicking.

The size of the spheres should be adjustable in size. The nodes should be easy to change (perhaps a GUI?).

Imagine the possibilities!

[Glorfindel]

awesome idea
