Did you enable the mod "tutorial" in the world (main menu)?

Also, the node (= block in minecraft) must be defined in the "tutorial" mod (init.lua).
Put the mods' textures into mods\my-mod\textures\ if you want to use them.

Pictures are nice, but we can't really help you without the contents of your init.lua
If there is a problem, it's there.

Hello,

here is the init.lua :




This is the error when I enter the game:

There should be a black box which opens with minetest.

There will be text like this:

========== ERROR FROM LUA =======
stuff here
==================================

Post that to see the problem.

Make sure init.lua is inside a folder called tutorial.

I have repaired this problem, however, it indicates if I this order gives:/giveme tutorial:decowood 99 that it is an unknown Item.

You wrote

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  (...)

but there is no need of space. So your code should look like this

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(...)

Note you can use [ code ] and [ /code ] (without space) and place your code between them

[rubenwardy]

Capital letters are not allowed. Rename the folder to just "tutorial".

[SkRapidler]

[rubenwardy]

create a texture for it in mods/tutorial/textures/ called tutorial_decowood.png

[SkRapidler]

Yes I did it exactly as you wrote it, there is always that it does not give this item -.-

Did you enable the mod in the world configuration?

I really don't know what is wrong. Also, don't use notepad, use notepad++. http://www.notepad-plus-plus.org

What are the files in the `tutorial` folder(and subfolder) ?

[Krock]

Okay. To clear this:

1) The mod is activate in the current world.
2) You fixed the codes
3) You can enter the world without an error.
4) /giveme tutorial:decowood works.
5) The folder structure is correct, (see example)
6) since your "tutorial" mod is not a texture pack, you can delete it from minetest_folder\textures\

What's the exact problem now?

[SkRapidler]

The problem I have is that the block will not appear in the game. I give the / giveme command but either one shows it to which the item does not exist, or nothing happens.

You might want to go on irc, we can probably help you there better. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#minetest
