[Mod] Screwdriver Redo [0.1] [screwdriver]

[TenPlus1]

The screwdriver mod has always been a fiddly one for rotating nodes and remembering which mode does what, so I've simplified it by removing the modes completely and letting the player left click a node to rotate the face and right-click the node to rotate through it's axis... simplez...

yeah!!!!!! finaly an easy working screwdriver!

hope this will replace that crap that comes with minetest_game!

its just realy simple, and easy!
and you dont need to hold sneak key to change mod! its just fantastic!

i realy realy realy like it!

i dont want to live without that anymore :-)))

lot of thanks for that idea! its just great!

[Minetestforfun]

Wow ! Very good work !
I think it must be updated/replaced in the default game !

[Kilarin]

I think this is FAR more intuitive to use, and I really hope that they pick it up for minetest_game!

Wait, and where are the other modes?

[Inocudom]

Wait, and where are the other modes?

The other modes are not needed. An improvement, I do say.

[balthazariv]

nice, thanks

[Xanthin]

[thumbs up] As simple as a screwdriver can be. Should find its way into mt game.

[Inocudom]

In order for this mod to have any hope of being in the base game at all, it must be on GitHub first. TenPlus1 would never do that himself, so somebody would have to take care of that for him.

[CraigyDavi]

What is the license of this mod?

There is some hope: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/315 :)

[TenPlus1]

I learn :P as for the license, same as original Screwdriver mod since it's an edited version of that...

[LazyJ]

The default screwdriver is a very useful tool and this makes it even better.

I've updated our Minetest server, "Wazuland2", with the screwdriver enhancement.

Job well done, TenPlus1 ;)

The texture could get a cleanup (on the left side).

[indriApollo]

Is there a way to make the screwdriver persistent ? It's a creative tool that shouldn't suffer usury imo :D

[Kilarin]

edit the mod change this line:
item_wear = item_wear + 300 -- was 327
to
item_wear = item_wear + 0 -- now no wear

I think changes in the Code by Users is a very bad Idea because of updates.
If you are using more and more mods with more and more changes that get lost after every update it would be impossible to rechange everytime after a update of the mods.
To put that settings into a discrete config file that would not be altered by updates would be the better way I think.

[indriApollo]

Yeah I'm looking for a text conf. I don't want to modify or fork this plugin for such a minimal modification.
And as JPRuehmann stated, my modification would be lost after an update :/

[Casimir]

That would be a good start to learn minetest mods. Using minetest.override it is a very small mod. Don't forget to add screwdriver to depends.txt.

[indriApollo]

So i wrote this which doesn't work. Can someone help me ?

[indriApollo]

Ok nevermind I got it working now. You can find it on my github

[JPRuehmann]

there are two errors one minor.
- in the Readme file you name the Config File "screwdriver.conf" but your mod is using "screwdriver.cfg".
But the second one renders the Mod unusable because minetest will crash everytime you use the screwdriver.
The Problem is that you forgot to add the Path to your Config File.
Here is the Part of your lua.init that I changed to get it to work.

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 function read_wear_user()
   --read wear from file
   local wear_set_by_user
   local modpath = minetest.get_modpath("screwdriver")
   local conf_file = io.open(modpath.."/screwdriver.cfg", "r")
       if conf_file == nil then
             --file does not exist or can't be read
         conf_file = io.open(modpath.."/screwdriver.cfg", "a")
         conf_file:write("wear_set_by_user = 300")  --write a default value
         wear_set_by_user = 300

       else
          conf_file:seek(set,19)
          wear_set_by_user = tonumber(conf_file:read("*all"))
            if wear_set_by_user == nil or wear_set_by_user < 0 or wear_set_by_user > 65535 then
                conf_file = io.open(modpath.."/screwdriver.cfg", "w")
                conf_file:write("wear_set_by_user = 300")   --write a default value
                wear_set_by_user = 300
            end
        
       end
   io.close(conf_file)

   return wear_set_by_user
end

Have Fun,
JPR

Omg thank you so much! My init.lua got messed up and I had pushed an old version to my github repo. It should now be fixed.
Thank you <3

This mod is no longer active since the new screwdriver code is now included in the default game... As for crafting recipe's, 1 stick with 1 steel ingot above makes a screwdriver...
