Trying to update old mods, have some questions..
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2016 15:48Greetings,
I'm trying to update some old mods and maybe expand them. I am pretty new to minetest mods so there are some errors I can't seem to work out and can't seem to find out how to fix. The old mods seem to be working just fine but I want to clean them up to the point of no errors when running but I need some help. Examples would be lovely, I learn best by example.
One error I see a lot is "WARNING[Main]: Field "light_propagates": Deprecated; determined from paramtype". There are nodes in a couple of the old mods that use light_propagates = true. Is there any replacement code for that that is updated?
Also getting this error which is to me rather cryptic: WARNING[Main]: NodeDefManager: Ignoring CONTENT_IGNORE redefinition
Not related to the old mods but just spotted it and curious is "WARNING[Main]: Undeclared global variable "modname" accessed at /path/to/minetest/mods/worldtime/worldtime.lua:33"
I think this is the only other error I'm having trouble with: WARNING[Main]: Field "metadata_name": Deprecated; use on_add and metadata callbacks
Help with these errors would be appreciated. Once the old mods are updated and running without errors I'll be releasing them. These mods are: christmas, fakeblocks, industrial, jail, moarcraft, replicator, and various. I used to play minetest a bit in the past and liked these mods. Decided to play some more minetest and the mods were spouting off so many errors, finally got them down to the above, except for replicator. I haven't tested replicator much. It seems to work but that's all I know at this time about it.
