Read the very first post where information concerning this mod is given. There, it will tell you to rename this mod's folder to homedecor after you extract it from its .zip file.

I saw that homedecor changes the signs aswell. Is there a way to seperate the homedecor mod and the sign thing?

[VanessaE]

I've never tried, but if you just load signs_lib.lua into a text editor, delete its contents, and re-save, it should work.

Done: https://github.com/VanessaE/homedecor/commit/b0cbea42e0ad16a4c1e0c06135bbf806bda32676


Re-download the mod (see first post), and add the following line to your `minetest.conf':

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

homedecor.disable_signs = true

Thanks, kaeza, I appreciate it. ;).

+1 To the mod.

[VanessaE]

Good thing kaeza added that. As Deepgaze discovered, my idea of just clearing out the contents of signs_lib.lua was....wrong :-)

[kaeza]

Fixed an ugly bug in the previous addition of optional signs: Now if you disable it, all "special" signs (yard signs and signs "attached" to fences) already placed in a world will not turn into unknown blocks, but wall and newly-placed signs act as the default ones (the mod does not override them anymore).

Thanks to DeepGaze for reporting this bug, and to him and PenguinDad for helping with testing.

Please download the mod (yet again) from the first post.

I want to tell you how much I like the Home Decor mod, and that I consider it essential for any minetest game. I think I downloaded Minetest and installed it for the first time around the end of june, and you cant imagine the frustration I went through before I found and installed this mod. IF blocks came in a wider variety of sizes ( Ie one half size, one quarter size, and possibly one half block high and wide, but two blocks long) and joined with all other blocks properly, without things floating or refusing to join, some of the items provided by mods like this wouldnt be absolutely needed, but they dont. Home decor is essential for completing and furnishing any building.

I enjoy using it, thank you for making it, and making it available to all of us.

You might want to check out the moreblocks mod as well, for what you're describing.

[Misty]

Hi TheFamilygrog66,

I installed the moreblocks and moreores mods to, as soon as I could locate them.
( they are listed as recommended for home decor) I cant honestly say I know for certain everything they added
to the game because I added several mods at the same time, but they are certainly worth having. Some Other mods I really enjoy are Rubenwardy's food mods, plantlife,farming plus, mobf, a beds mod by blockmen, and a paintings mod.

[Johnyknowhow]

This makes me think about the villagers in MC, they use pressure plates for table tops.

[VanessaE]

Minor update: Just some background stuff inside the mod. Initialization is slightly faster. Pretty much all function calls and variable names that started with "homedecor_" now start with "homedecor." instead (that is, they are now table entries rather than a discrete variable), so if anyone's calling/using these from some other mod, please update your code accordingly.

My doors wont open D:

[VanessaE]

Right click to open them. If that won't work, your Minetest version is probably too old to support the right click function.

There is something wrong with the init.lua file of this mod. I renamed the mod's folder to homedecor, but it still won't load.

I just tested homedecor. It works. However the first time I tried I got this error:

10:35:16: ERROR[main]: ...minetest-minetest-3c4734d/bin/../mods/homedecor/init.lua:16: unexpected symbol near '.'

The error I made was that I browsed the Github code and downloaded the most recent version with ZIP and got this one:
homedecor-master (1).zip

Then I installed this one:
VanessaE-homedecor-e04a0e5.zip
I didn't look at the date. This version gave me the init.lua error.

Then I downloaded with the direct link this one:
VanessaE-homedecor-eb1ccc3.zip
which worked fine.

Using the ZIP in Github (again) gave me this version:
homedecor-master (2).zip
which is an exact copy of the working one (as it should be). (and is also the same as homedecor-master (1).zip


I hope this helps you.

[VanessaE]

I run what's in git HEAD for homedecor without any issues, but then again I also run an up-to-date git build of Minetest (though anything from the stable release on up should work?)

Inocudom, what error did you get? Are you sure you're up-to-date?

Topywo, I checked the git log and it looks like you just got caught between updates is all. A fix for the bug in e04a0e5e got pushed later that same day (92d8a53f).

I also get a very similar error trying to load the mod from the link in your first post:

Hmm...
Check in mods/homedecor/textures/ and see if you have a lot of files named "hdf_XX.png", where <XX> are two numbers or letters.
Edit: Just tested with a fresh clone from git on Linux, and seems to work OK. My guess is that it's something related to Windows.

I do have those files.

[kaeza]

I do have those files.

Try something for me:

Open mods/homedecor/signs_lib.lua in notepad, and change line 63 from:

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

local f = io.open(filename)

To:

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

local f = io.open(filename, "rb")

Do the same to line 149.

[Nightshade]

That worked! Thanks!

[kaeza]

That worked! Thanks!

Thank you and Inocudom for reporting.

I like what was done with the signs, as they can display much more text now. I noticed that words can be broken on the edges of the signs, with one half of them on the right of the upper line and the other half of them on the left of the lower line. That seems like a glitch, but it could be intentional (maybe put a hyphen or some other separator where words are broken on both halves.)

I think a bigger window for entering text would be a good idea (both for signs and for chat.)

[Azuna]

rename the resultant VanessaE-homedecor-blahblah folder to just "homedecor", and move it into Minetest's mods directory.

Okay, i just got 0.4.7 because of the calls of "OMG GET A NEWER VERSON, NOOB!" okay, not exactly like that but, whatever. but i did whats the above said, and it says there may be something wrong. heres the error:
Failed
to load and run script from C:\Minetest\bin\..\mods\homedecor\init.lua: C:\Minetest\bin\..\mods\homedecor/signs_lib.lua
did not find font line height
Edit: had to type it, sorry

120% Glitch, -20% intentional (known BTW)

I have over 20 files with that same relation, but it still is not working.
