you did many mistakes
for example: you used the old moreores copper and bronze

[4aiman]

The old moreores is anything but a mistake.
Some games don't have bronze and/or copper by default.
So, there only should be a check for 'default:bronze' or a note about compliant games.

[DS-minetest]

but normally bronze and copper is disabled

and it depenses "explosion"

explosion is an other mod I created, but it is not yet, I remove it from depends.txt .

I corrected these mistake. This mod is now compatible with minetest from 0.4.4 to 0.4.9

very nice

[Wuzzy]

OK. I like the idea of this mod very much.
I like a lot of the nodeboxes. My favourite one is the closed ladder. This looks like something I could use in Riventest in the future.

But currently, the mod is a bit messy and chaotic. There needs to be a cleanup before this mod can be used seriously.

I confirm that there are many mistakes or just weird things in this mod.

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

• What the hell is the file cps-vflSymP2Q.swf doing in the folder named “sounds”?
• Documentation says: “plastic : put cotton in furnace”. How? You can obtain cotton only by cheating.
• Documentation says: “License is GNU GPL v2, do it what you want !”. “do it what you want !” is NOT what the GNU GPL v2 says!
• README.md has invalid syntax. There is an underscore in “minetest_game”, however, an underscore starts italic text. To fix this, you could enclose the directory name in backticks (“`”):
  
  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

  As other minetest mod : extract the zip file as "technology" in the `games/minetest_game/mods` directory.

  
  
  (Protip: GitHub does NOT parse Markdown. For some fucked-up reason, they had to do their own proprietary Markdown interpreter … -_-)
• Please spell the group “mecanic” “mechanic”.
• Bad on_punch definition (metal_punch). You know something is wrong with your node definitions if even the admin pickaxe can’t mine it! The admin pickaxe is supposed to mine everything which is pointable. Because you redefined on_punch, many weird shit is happening. I see you used metal_punch just for sounds. You don’t have to redefine on_punch just for sounds. Node definitions have a field called “sound” for that.
• You don’t need to have a seperate node definition for other alignments of nodes. For example, the steel amatures. There is a minetest_game mod for that: screwdriver.
• Some descriptions are poor. Instead of “bronze ladder closed”, use “closed bronze ladder”. Instead of “electric lamp small”, say “small electric lamp”. The description of the battery says “12V” but when you point it, the game shows you “12.5V”. Well, I think it is impossible to be a 12V and a 12.5V battery at once! ;-)

And I still do NOT understand why this mod relies on the moreores copper and bronze. The default mod has copper and bronze, too!

Edit:

• The selection box for stairs is … weird

[jimy]

I reply to Wuzzy, I take note about your reply. I just write to say : moreores is needed in from 0.4.4 to 0.4.7 versions of minetest. So moreores is not essential in recent versions, but it is a necessity in old versions. Remove it from depends.txt if you haven't it.
