Very simple. You use the flint and steel to light fires, giving some real purpose for fire. I'm sure I will improve on this eventually. Also it would be great if someone could tell me how to add health to a craftitem.

I think I found the new use for matches in my fire mod :3

Amazing! I've just burned down almost whole jungle. What do you think about crafting recipe like:

nothing, nothing, nothing
sandstone, sandstone, steel_ingot
sandstone, sandstone, steel_ingot

Is there a way to override the definition of the gravel node in {Minetest_Directory}/games/minetest-game/mods/default/init.lua? I'd to like make them give them flint instead of a gravel block sometimes. I added the following to {Minetest_Directory}/mods/minetest/flint_and_steel/init.lua, but much to my disappoint it didn't redefine default:gravel. Is there a way to do this without editing /default/init.lua?

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("flint_and_steel:gravel", { description = "Gravel", tile_images = {"default_gravel.png"}, is_ground_content = true, groups = {crumbly=2, falling_node=1}, drop = { max_items = 1, items = { { items = {'flint_and_steel:flint'}, rarity = 5, }, { items = {'default:gravel'}, } } }, sounds = default.node_sound_dirt_defaults({ footstep = {name="default_gravel_footstep", gain=0.45}, }), }) minetest.register_craft({ output = 'flint_and_steel:flint_and_steel 1', recipe = { {'default:steel_ingot', '', ''}, {'', 'flint_and_steel:flint', ''}, } })

Try changing flint_and_steel:gravel to default:gravel, and see what you come up with (hoping it's not an error)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had tried that before posting, it raises the following error. I guess using default:gravel in mods isn't allowed.

yep, I knew it would output an error :S. I'm clueless now

Yeah, but I looked and you had to edit /default/init.lua. I was hoping there would be a way to avoid doing that and override in the mod but that doesn't seem to possible.

when i used the flint mod i had to copy the part of the code that makes it breakable to the mod so it would work

This is a bit late but you can redefine nodes by setting a : in front of their name:

Code: Select all: minetest.register_node(":default:gravel", {...})

Even overriding default:gravel I'm not getting drops of flint... either something is not working or the flint drops are very very very very rare.

awesome mod!

i added a drop from gravel (tested and it works), and also a shapeless craft. grab the code here:
https://github.com/cornernote/minetest-flint_and_steel

please merge my changes back into this code

i'm using your code to add flint and steel to dwarves. but i'll go a bit other, my way...

it's dangerous to go alone! take this!

This is the code for flint and strike in fancy game mode

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

isn't it a bit more compex than yours? does it worth it?

i don't understand the first question, and yes, try out fancy game mode to see it in action
