Making a program to help making of mods/games

[IPushButton2653]

Pretty cool. Crude, but cool. It would sure help with a few mods I did a while back ^.^

[lkjoel]

it doesn't work yet

[lkjoel]

ok, for now, I'm going to remove top/bottom faces, so that there would be only one face that would be the same for the whole block

[Jordach]

[jordan4ibanez]

totally. It's just that I do not know how that kind of thing works (c55's LUA docs are terrible). I will look up his code sometime or another, but first, I need to finish the basic code.

I can't really give a date, but I don't think this week.

Ok cool:D

ok, I'm working on a bit of JSON, but this will take a lot of time, and I've still got to do some codework. If I tell any of you how to do it, could you help me?

I will sure as hell try my hardest:D:D but if you tell me whats needs to be done and a the jist of how to do it i could figure it out.

[bgsmithjr]

lol, everything but the G.U.I.

[lkjoel]

OK, this is going to be tedious. I'm still working on a few template ones so that you can keep reference...

[lkjoel]

a lot of copy and paste will be needed lol

[Death Dealer]

a lot of copy and paste will be needed lol

sounds like my skill levelXD lol jk

[lkjoel]

I added blocks.json to the repo, and then I'll add the file I want you to parse. I think you'll get it :)

[lkjoel]

Done! https://github.com/lkjoel/minetest-modder/blob/d9924c7fa302f52e461efdce5ebea2d9d105c717/parseme.txt

[lkjoel]

Blocks.json: https://github.com/lkjoel/minetest-modder/blob/d9924c7fa302f52e461efdce5ebea2d9d105c717/blocks.json. Remember, anything with 2 dashes (--) are comments, so the part after them until the end of the line are ignored (so please ignore them too).

[Death Dealer]

ill give it a shot^_^

[lkjoel]

oh, and one other thing. If there is no "inventory_image" property, please include it as the first image in "tile_images"

[sfan5]

Maybe there could be a Way to import Blocks from other Mods
(init.lua -> modname.json)

[lkjoel]

I was thinking about that, but you know, I'm not as good with JS than grep/sed/awk. If you can figure out a way to do that, please let me know!

[Death Dealer]

alright will do, im almost done:D im not really not a coder but i giving this a shot.

[lkjoel]

awesome!

[lkjoel]

I think I'll have to rewrite the whole framework for the blocks to make this work :S

[Death Dealer]

ok i think this is right:D i included the inventory_image bit to.

if anything is wrong, sorry. i just looked at what there was and did my best to make it the same.

[lkjoel]

Mea culpa, I forgot to explain the basics lol. Here they are:
First, I'll give you an example, then I'll expalin it.
Original:

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("X", {
    Y = Z,
    A = B, (etc...)
})

New:

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

{
"name":"X",
"Y":"Z",
"A":"B", (etc...)
}

Brackets {} signify a new block/node. After that, = is replaced to :, and everything is in quotes (except for numbers and true/false). If there is no inventory_image option, set it to the first value of tile_images (look at the example below):

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

{
...
"tile_images":{"default_myblock.png","default_myblock_side.png"},
"inventory_image":"default_myblock.png"
...
}

Please append all of the new blocks/nodes to blocks.json

Is this clear? I'm not the best at explaining, so if it isn't clear enough, let me know (don't feel bad)

hey thanks:D this is something ive been trying to get into for awhile, ill try again. and thanks for all the help^_^

[lkjoel]

glad to know I explained it clearly this time lol! I'm thinking of splitting up the code, and using a different GUI framework (twitter's bootstrap)
