FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Adds minecraft-like chat with aditional features. Features local chat (default radius is 18 blocks), shout (default radius is 68 blocks), whisper (default radius is 3 blocks), ooc-chat (for roleplay servers) and global chat, also have a privelege to see all messages not in range for moderators. Also added dices.



chat syntax is pretty simple:
just say something and you will talk in local chat
!hey, start your message with "!" and you will shout
=psss, start your message wit "=" and you will whisper
(( take your message into "(( ))" to talk in ooc ))
?start your message with "?" to talk in global chat

Nice, this is pretty cool.

Freeminer has colors in chat stream.

I recommend that you host mods in individual repos, rather than one big one.

THIS IS AWESOME !!!!

These are people who are epic. And then there are people with 683 posts (as of this posting) and not a single completed mod. Oh, hello there, mirror.

No, we aren't. We have our RP-server. We are going to migrate to minetest(we are using minecraft now).

We made this mod for us but decided to share it with other people.

That's great hunter! I and another person are also working on getting some Minecraft players over to Minetest! It would be helpful for us if you could post a link to your website, forum or IRC chan.

Here you are.
And we have jabber-conference.

But we are russian-speaking community. So I don't think that it'll be useful for you.

+1 lol I am glad that the modding community has grown so much right now. I really am beginning to enjoy this mod though.

PilzAdam did the same. First post was a Mod.

+1 for the separate chat console, but chat should be global by default, with \ prefix for local.

We host roleplay server. Global chat? Only for gods.

This is what I really need!
what a neat mod. +1

So when will there be a download?

Try changing https://github.com/vegasd/minetest-mods/blob/master/kmchat/init.lua#L34

to ["!(.+)"] = {"%s (shouts): %s", 68, 0xFFFFFF, nil },

! may not be a regex character.

Yeah. I've already fixed it. Vegasd just decided to be on the safe side and added escape sequence to "!".

There wasn't error on linux.

Have you got the latest version of this mod?
Code position in init.lua

well I've re-downloaded it a couple of times.

I've removed all escape sequences in patterns. So it should work now.

Redownload it again, please. Apparently you are using a last version of minetest from github, where this bug appeared

The mod works in 4.10-stable:


I think I should get bigger fonts :P
EDIT: Can anyone suggest me a font pack?

Esteban wrote: think I should get bigger fonts :P

That's right. Colored chat in general would be very welcome. But I'd prefer slightly diffrent use of colors. Instead of distance, the type of chat messages would be more intresting (normal, server message, emote, reply from a command), and player names ought to be highlighted in the text. People who are moderators/admins ought to have another color than normal players (so that those who can grant interact can be identified more easily), and players without interact require yet another color (so that other players can tell them to ask for interact).

now it works! :D nice mod!

Is it normal the text in the top left of your screen WITH the text in the KMchat position ?

I want add this mod to my server but i want the text only in the bottom left of the screen...

And how can we reduce the vertical spacing between two messages ?

the normal chat only shows commands and what the player says.

shouldn't be too hard try messing with TOP_INDENT or something.
EDIT: not TOP_INDENT. FONT_WIDTH is what you want. 16 is good.

0.3 added FUDGE dices and dozen of bugfixes

Thank you for this update !
(maybe you want rename the title of this topic to "0.3" instead of "0.2" :))
