FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi, I know that the node info of the current highlighted node is shown in the debug info. But is it possible to show this info in a info box in the bottom right corner for example?

Short answer: No. Not directly.

Long answer: Yes, but it's complicated and you don't get everything.

P. S. I started work on the Medusa Mod to solve a similar problem, but events have dragged me away before I could finish the logic and get it working.

You can get the node info and display it in the hud.
Get node http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.get_node

Then get the info you want from it

Then display it to the player in the hud http://dev.minetest.net/Player

I found a rather nasty memory leak bug in my code.
It'll need a complete redesign to remove.

Now that's really cool.

Have you looked at https://github.com/minetest-mods/inspector ? Perhaps this gives you what you need.

I've updated my mod, but it's still got a few bugs in it.
Torches don't show up as they should.
Haven't figured out the box bit yet.

Looks great. I will test this out.

I think, I will fork this, because I want a different look and less verbose

Good work!

impressive!

You mean something like this ?
