FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

So, I'm following the instructions on the wiki, where it says that I must put fuel at the bottom, and the thing to smelt at the top, referring to the two squares on the left. I've tried leaves, coal, wood, etc., but I can't get to smelt my lump of iron, nor my raw meat, nor my sand. I haven't been able to smelt anything yet. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

I am on Mac OS X, with Minetest 0.4.

Can you post your debug.txt.
That could be useful

Are you playing locally or on a server?

must have one a retarded default init.lua then.

This is a problem for me too. Furnaces just won't smelt anything. If I knew where all the stuff for how it works is at, I'd be happy to fix it. But I'm clueless

All right, I think I know where the problem was. IPushButton2653, do you mind trying to run the game with the original init.lua that comes in the default mod? When I installed your texture pack, it seems I accidentally copied the init.lua file that came in your texture pack's /default folder, and the original init.lua was replaced by it. I just went and restored the file to its original version, and suddenly the furnace is working for me! It seems that your init.lua may be bugged.

First, you have to have my init to run a lot of the mod. Second, I only modified what was necessary for my TP (mese and chests. Never touched furnaces)

All I'm saying is that you give it a try... It worked for me, that's all. I am not blaming you for anything. >.> And even if your file actually happens to be bugged, then that's OK: it can be fixed.

I think it's just the builtin or whatever. I've redownloaded and it still didnt work

OK, then I'll post my debug.txt in a few, and see if something can be found from it.

Edit: Now I am confused. I decided to try again with a modified default init.lua, and putting a rat at the top and leaves at the bottom, the furnace was able to cook. It takes a few seconds to respond (there's some lag due to all the different mods I have, I suppose), but eventually it works. I'm still going to post my debug.txt, just in case.

The time it takes to cook something is dependent on the item being cooked. So for iron it takes 3 seconds for every lump to be cooked.

From default/ini.lua:
-- Recipe (cooking):
-- {
-- type = "cooking",
-- output = "default:glass",
-- recipe = "default:sand",
-- cooktime = 3, <----------------------------See here, 3 is the default if it is not listed
-- }
--
-- Recipe (furnace fuel):
-- {
-- type = "fuel",
-- recipe = "default:leaves",
-- burntime = 1, <----------------------------(FYI, this is how long the fuel will last)
-- }
