[Mod] WorldEdit [1.0] [worldedit]

[Temperest]

Also, read the tutorial if you're just starting to use this mod: https://github.com/Uberi/MineTest-WorldEdit/blob/master/Tutorial.md

It'll show you step-by-step how to do basic actions.

[CaptainCanti]

Would it be possible to implement a WorldEdit brush type tool? It would make terraforming a hell of a lot easier.

[Temperest]

That is already planned for the worldedit_items component, which is likely going to be a part of the next major release, i.e. WorldEdit 2.0. Also expect new features like worldedit_infinity and worldedit_limited!

[Nore]

Another suggestion is something that would allow you to copy-paste structures, and create things, if you have the required materials in inventory. You would then a another privilege for that.

whenever I try to place a worldedit position, I get this message:

ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...netest\bin\..\mods\worldedit\worldedit_commands/mark.lua:30: attempt to call field 'get_voxel_manip' (a nil value)

Update your Minetest & WorldEdit to the latest git version.

[Temperest]

The latest versions now have version reminders that are a little more...visible:

[kbobdc3]

Update your Minetest & WorldEdit to the latest git version.

but they are both up to date.
0.4.8 isnt available for download I don't think

[Temperest]

No, WorldEdit 1.0 requires a newish development version of 0.4.7 (as of today, only builds newer than 2 weeks ago are supported). Minetest 0.4.8 will be released soon enough.

Here are some links to dev builds:

This is a good idea, I think I might add it into worldedit_limited.

[Shire]

This is getting to be extremely frustrating. I tried it once. It kept crashing my game. Tried the new download link. I don't have permissions. Why can't this be simple.

Your version of minetest does not have support lua voxel manip. You need the latest version of minetest.

[LionsDen]

In other words, you must use the latest build from sfan5, PilzAdam or BlockMen to use the latest WorldEdit on windows. For Linux versions you need to compile the latest github or download someone else's copy (no clue who) to use. For 64 bit windows, there is an option for that as well but I don't remember who is doing it off the top of my head.

[Shire]

I have the latest version, unless by sheer chance it was updated to 4.8 today, just after I made my post. Or do I need your build of the game for it to work?

Edit II; Downloading it right now.

[Temperest]

Shire: WorldEdit 1.0 was made for recent 0.4.7 DEV and above! In fact, if you download the bleeding-edge versions of WorldEdit, it will give you a nice clear error message:



That means the version you get from minetest.net is too outdated to use with this version of the mod.

Solution? Use WorldEdit 0.6 for Minetest 0.4.7, but be be aware that it doesn't have the orders-of-magnitude speedups and the bugfixes that came with 1.0. Or better, switch to a newer development version of Minetest! You'll get a ton of new features too!

+1 for this great error message!

Backreading, people say this error stems from not having the latest version of minetest. Do you mean latest /stable/ version, or latest /dev/ version?

Latest dev version, also it's nice to see someone pick up on other people problems. :-)

[Temperest]

Hotfix: Minetest version check included with 1.0. This should help a bit with the confusion about the errors.

This is intended to give people a better error message when using old Minetest versions. If you already have it working, there's no real reason to redownload.

Hey, is there a way to do //replace air stone bricks?? if not could you putt that in there? thanks

[Dan Duncombe]

Hey, is there a way to do //replace air stone bricks?? if not could you putt that in there? thanks

//replace air default:stonebrick

[darthvader]

How do u get rid of a specific block?

[Evergreen]

How do u get rid of a specific block?

//replace name_of_block air

[Temperest]

If you meant getting rid of one particular block, use //p set, punch the block twice, and then use //set air.

On a side note, I won't have as much time to work on WE now after starting university. However, it is still maintained and will continue to be developed.

[hoodedice]

Correction needed: Worldedit v1.0 is for Minetest 0.4.8. It should be Worldedit v1.0 for Minetest 0.4.7 dev. Minetest 0.4.8 isn't even out yet.

[Temperest]

Correct. I've added a note to reflect this.

[JackGruff]

Could we please have the ability to remove blocks from a region? I'm not talking about making them air, I'm talking about deleting them such that the game regenerates them.

This would be useful to revert an area to its original state.

Thanks for your consideration.

-Jack.

That is currently not possible using the Lua API

It is possible on the database level. Trouble is: How do you identify those mapblocks you want to be removed/calculated anew? Also, removing them would only work while the game is not running and using that particular database/map.
