FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

A simple mod, which aims to be educational. Says in hud the name of the node you punch!



This mod LGPL V3. The mod has no dependicies and works for ALL the nodes you can punch.

an update is coming: there will be a hud element for what you touch

EDIT: update

absolutly no one looks at new mod.

Ñe... Try something, show the texture too! (For testing, that could be great!)
Anyways, looks nice! +100!

+1
It would be cool to show which element I holding in my hand, optional

hum? mods already shows what you are holding :D it's called a hotbar

i need tool/block name

ok i see. will try to do that.

try to display dump(node) instead of just the name ;)

dump? you mean the id no? "default:dirt"

There is similar mod. You may want to check

just so you don't feel so frustrated...
I downloaded the mod the day you first posted it.
I fiddled with it in different worlds.
I downloaded newer versions.
I fiddled with screenspace conflicts it has with other stuff I am using.
I have bookmarked the thread and have added the mod to a script I use to update my mod collection.
I guess I'm not the only one who posts a little less frequent than you (no offence meant) and who's life runs at a somewhat slower pace with sometimes days or even weeks that I might not do Minetest stuff at all. ;-P

Don't expect the forum to be a noisy place at all times.
Actually the new university terms are starting in many places around now or in a few weeks, so it might even get a little quieter for the next months until holliday seasons start again.

btw, you might find usefull ideas in Sokomine's Inspector tool or Wuzzy's Lookup Tool among others.

:D i was kidin for the 'no one looks'. in 10 mintues 54 seen it :D
thx for liking and sorry for conflicts

and thx but i already know the wuzzy's mod :)

May become useful to me.

are you tlking of the code? lgpl 2.1 then!

Not necissarily. But i have quite some unknown nodes on my property, and i want a "report unknown nodes" rule on some servers. But maybe the code is useful too.

Maybe you could try to use the [resize texture modifier in case you have a 32x32 texture pack.

yeah.

IMPORTANT: the short modname “hud” is already taken by BlockMen for the “Better HUD” mod. Please change your modname. This means players can NOT use Better HUD and your mod at the same time. :-(

It would be better if the mod showed the node's description (tooltip) instead. Just check if this field is present and if yes, show it. Only if the description is nil or empty, the itemstring should be shown as fallback. But ONLY showing the itemstring seems so technical.
Or if you really want to, show both. XD

Actually is it called NodeExplorer. it was only a tag. and i will show both, the itemstring with a setting then. was only an help to "getnode" without f3

I was taking about the forum topic title. The “tags” actually have meaning. The format is:

[Mod] Human-Readable Mod Name [Version] [shortname in mod.conf]

or, if you don't have a version:

[Mod] Human-Readable Mod Name [shortname in mod.conf]

E.g.:

[Mod] NodeExplorer [node_explorer]

The current forum topic title suggests the shortname is “hud” which is luckily not the case. Anyway, all of this will only be important if this thread “wants” to go to Mod Releases.
