I have tried the workaround with disabling drop_item
and the fix from saranas nothing works.

By the way could you add the mod to either /m modmenu or the unified_inventory?

Thanks,

just for Information and if there is anyone out there who can help.
Specialties is incompatible to the voltbuild mod,
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7118
It stops countin iv voltbuild is enabled.
Thanks,

[JPRuehmann]

===>It stops counting if voltbuild is enabled.<===

Breaks in a different way on mine.

Hello
Found the Problem and fixed it
Now it works like a charm.
At least for me. ;-)

Here is my changed xp.lua
in the init.lua I have changed only the tostr(num) to num.

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

--File Manipulating
specialties.writeXP = function(name)
   local file = io.open(minetest.get_worldpath().."/"..name.."_XP", "w")
   for skill,num in pairs(specialties.players[name].skills) do
      file:write(skill.." "..tostring(num).."\n")
   end
   file:close()
end
specialties.readXP = function(name, specialty)
   local file = io.open(minetest.get_worldpath().."/"..name.."_XP", "r")
   if file == nil then
      specialties.writeXP(name)
      local empty = {}
      for skill,_ in pairs(specialties.skills) do
         empty[skill] = 0
      end
      return empty
   end
   local xp = {}
   local line = file:read("*l")
   while line ~= nil do
      local params = line:split(" ")
      xp[params[1]] = tonumber(params[2])
      line = file:read("*l")
   end
   file:close()
   return xp
end

--Table Modification
specialties.changeXP = function(name, specialty, amount)
   local current = specialties.players[name].skills[specialty]
   if current == nil then current = 0 end
   local newAmount = current+amount
   if newAmount >= 0 then
      specialties.players[name].skills[specialty] = newAmount
      local player = minetest.get_player_by_name(name)
      local id = specialties.players[name].hud[specialty]
      player:hud_change(id, "text", newAmount)
      return true
   else
      return false
   end
end

Have fun,

4aiman did make a fork of this mod, but it crashes with the following error:

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

20:21:43: ACTION[ServerThread]: Inocudom places node default:cobble at (-42,8,-8)
20:21:43: ERROR[main]: ServerError: caught (...)

The only exception to this is if the fork is in Magichet. Below is a link to the fork:

So looks like this mod is dead? :(

[Minetestforfun]

if this mod is dead, it's too bad :(

[Don]

Its a great mod. I hope someone continues it

[Sokomine]

Its a great mod. I hope someone continues it

That's right! It didn't do terribly much; yet it felt right to have the mod enabled. It ran on Menches old server and worked pretty well there.

I think the mod ought to be combined with what RealTest and AdventureTest have. It would fit in there very well.

What is your texture pack?
