That isn't the point of this mod. Go check out the travelnet mod or the teleporters mod or something.

Which MT version do you have?

I've tried using a few of the unofficial windows builds listed on the downloads page
and a compiled version on fedora(compiled version minetest-c6cb97e)

I would post a error but there isn't any being shown in console related to pipeworks

any help is appreciated

If I am reading your first post right and not misinterpreting something, you put the mod into the folder minetest\games\minetest_game\mods or something very similar to this. That isn't where it goes. You need to put it into the minetest\mods folder. Also, make sure to rename the folder to just pipeworks for it to work. Then when you want to use it, configure the world and select it and enable all of the modpack. If I read something wrong, I am sorry but the way you wrote your first question is making me think this is how you have it.

That works for new worlds that I create, but when I bring a world created
in a older version of minetest with a survival gametype it still doesn't seem
to fix it.

Is there any way to modify a world to change it's gametype from survival to
minetest_game?

Found it, if you go into your worlds folder and then the folder with the name of your world you need to edit the text file world.mt. It will have a line saying gameid = xxxxxxxx edit whatever it says for the xxxxxxxx to say minetest or whatever game type you want. It may or may not work depending on what mods the game type had and such. But it's something to try.

*NOTE* - Please make a backup of your world folder before trying this as you don't want to lose everything because something went wrong.

[pheonixfire]

It doesn't seem to work, but I did manage to fix it by creating a new world then
moving some of the files from the old world to the new one

You may want to try updating your mesecons installation; it seems like that's where the problem is originating from…

[hampa16]

The topic Nore made has been stickied; I already put explicit instructions in the first post some time ago that you must rename the folder to "pipeworks". I guess you didn't see it (under "Install").

vanessa nevermind ok thanks angel and vanessa

Hello, everyone! This is my first post, mainly because it's the first time I've had something meaningful to say!

I found a fix for the blinky furnaces bug aracnus was talking about, but I've never used github and I'm not sure how, so I decided to post it here...

The hacky_swap_node function -- which the furnaces use -- is redefined in deployer.lua and node_breaker.lua, but there's no escape for when node.name equals name, so the furnace is constantly swapped for an identical version of itself every second! To fix this problem, replace the function with this one:

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

function hacky_swap_node(pos,name)
    local node=minetest.get_node(pos)
    local meta=minetest.get_meta(pos)
    local meta0=meta:to_table()
    if node.name == name then
        return
    end
    node.name=name
    minetest.add_node(pos, node)
    local meta=minetest.get_meta(pos)
    meta:from_table(meta0)
end

Thanks! Added.

Sorry for my later answer, but I tested the last update made by Vanessa and furnaces are ok now. Thank you pilcrow! :-)

why cant i use the pipeworks mod

[VanessaE]

That depends on what the error is you're getting. Sorry, your question simply doesn't have enough information.

[Element]

well it says mod: failed to launch and run...um, its hard to say...it says and this is all i can see, "C:\Users\(my name)\desktop\minetest-0.4.7\bin\..\games\minetest_game\mods\pipeworks\init.lua" minus the ("")

You should probably have this mod installed in the top-level mods directory, not under games/minetest_game (the mods folders within the game folders are generally reserved for mods that make up a certain game, which is not true for pipeworks and minetest_game). However, that (probably) won't cause the mod to fail to load…

Do you see any line numbers from any of the lua files in your error output?

[Element]

no...i dont think so

[VanessaE]

Copy&paste the last 50 or so lines from your debug.txt file to pastebin.com and give us the link. This file will be somewhere in your minetest folder, probably at the top level.

[Element]

ok

[VanessaE]

Please try again using a recent git build of Minetest and the latest git of the Mesecons mod, and pastebin a new debug.txt if it errors out.

[Element]

i have the latest minetest, 0.4.7, and i have mesecons but i will check to see if there is a newer version of them

[Element]

will jeijas minetest mesecons mod work

[LionsDen]

i have the latest minetest, 0.4.7, and i have mesecons but i will check to see if there is a newer version of them

She means to use BlockMen's or sfan5's or fess's build if you are on windows. Otherwise, you can compile the latest minetest from the github site. I am on windows so I usually use BlockMen's or sfan5's builds, I used to use PilzAdam's but he only does his by request anymore and I haven't had any problems with BlockMen's or sfan5's copies. These versions tend to be usually a week or less old from the github and I haven't had any problems getting mods to work on them usually.

EDIT:

will jeijas minetest mesecons mod work

jeijas mesecons is the mesecons mod for minetest. As far as I know, there aren't any others. You can get his latest version directly from github if you want to.
