I have been trying to install the obsidian and gemstones mods, but I think I may have done something wrong. PLEASE HELP!!!

by **IPushButton2653** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 21:30

I put the mods in the data/mods folder, and it still won't work. I don't know what to do, and I searched the forums and couldn't find anything that helped.

Why do you think something is wrong? If the gems aren't showing up go far away so that it generates new areas.

But the obsidian, it's the one I am trying to get to work. I tried, but failed. I think I must have forgotten something.

What's wrong? Is it crashing? You can't craft what you're supposed to be able to?

by **IPushButton2653** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 23:51

I incorrectly installed the mod or something, because it is not working in-game

Your folders should be like this:
Minetest folder
-data
-mods
-mod folder
-texutures folder
-depends.txt
-init.lua

Is that what it looks like?

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 00:36

Yes, but I don't know what I am doing wrong.

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 00:38

Is it something about the depends.txt? That's as much as I can think what I may have wrong.

It should be in the same folder as init.lua.

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 18:32

It's set up as:
-obsidian
-textures
-init.lua
-depends.txt
I am on Windows

there's a possibility that the mod isn't current to the version your using try and download it again to see if its that

i fixed it thanks to Hackeridze

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 21:15

Now the gemstones mod won't work :/

by **Calinou** » Sun Dec 18, 2011 22:04

Those gemstones will only be generated in new chunks... you need to delete your current map (you will lose any and all items) or wander far away from the already generated chunks.

Just out of interest how did you fix the obsidian mod? it seems it doesn't work for me either.

by **IPushButton2653** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 02:03

I changed all the default textures i.e. water_flowing becomes default:water_flowing.
And does anyone have any clue to the gemstones? I can't even get on map. If someone who has the correct init.lua file for it could post it, I could correct as needed for my system. I'm good at simple logic, but suck at coding.

We need the error message (check the debug.txt file in your Minetest installation folder, last lines) to help you...

Apparently gemstones is using a function in the Lua API which isn't contained in the latest Windows build.

by **IPushButton2653** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 16:39

In other words, it doesn't work on Windows?

by **dannydark** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 16:44

It does if you compile from source yourself, I think celeron55 meant it isn't in the latest windows build that he has compiled (which I'm guessing you have downloaded).

by **IPushButton2653** » Thu Dec 22, 2011 17:10

I have no clue how to compile or do any of this. And none of the other mods I am trying to install (cube, village, and flowers) are wanting to work either.
