[Pavel_S]

brightness of drop doesn`t change at night.

brightness of drop doesn`t change at night.

This also happens in the default game, entity brightness values are incorrect.

Can you give more information about the error? (http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5073)

Also make sure to rename the folder from "item_drop-master" (or whatever name github gave the file) to "item_drop".

I have tried this mod under 0.4.7, but it does not drop the nodes. Is that a bug or is it possible that it is an incompatibility to other mods?

I just tested it and it works fine.
Do you use technic (or technic_game) or creative mode?

[Cooper97]

Oh, no I do not use the technic mod but to build I use the creativ mode. I think that is the problem :D

There's a typo in line 58 of init.lua:

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

bject:get_luaentity().physical_state = true


It should be:

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

object:get_luaentity().physical_state = true


This causes the server to crash if it gets to that point.

Fixed.

If I only want the pickup function, not the drop on death or other stuff, which lines do I comment out?

Lines 1 to 71 are pickup, the rest is dropping.

I checked out the latest GIT version, and found an obvious problem: You can no longer drop items, because they're picked back up immediately after leaving your inventory. Can some sort of cooldown be added, so items can only be picked up a second after their entity appears in-world?

The version included in Carbone fixed this by removing the y offset in the check and reducing the collection radius, no timer is required: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7649710/

Uncomment the lines at the bottom to enable nodes dropping when they're dug.

Good to know, thanks. Since this is a major problem, I hope it's fixed here too... being the original mod and all.

FM is affected too.

There is a cooldown for that reason, maybe RBA broke it with his latest changes to builtin items (feel free to file an issue in the Minetest repo for that).

Is this mod still being developed ? On minetest 0.4.10 can't drop items from my inventory or with " Q " button .

[LionsDen]

I created the code for a trash can and posted it at the following link. It is not a mod, you need to create the depends.txt file and assign an image to use and put it into a mod directory. Looking at some other "simple" mods will show you what is needed. Here is the link:

Jepp, got the same issue but you know what? I can handle it somehow :)
It's still a great and nearly necessary modification. Thank you PilzAdam

[gsmanners]

Well, I have a "fix" (fwiw):

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

minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime)
   for _,player in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do
      if player:get_hp() > 0 or not minetest.setting_getbool("enable_damage") then
         local pos = player:getpos()
         pos.y = pos.y+0.5
         local inv = player:get_inventory()
         local ctrl = player:get_player_control()
         if ctrl.up or ctrl.left or ctrl.right then

            for _,object in ipairs(minetest.env:get_objects_inside_radius(pos, 2)) do
               local en = object:get_luaentity()
               if not object:is_player() and en and en.name == "__builtin:item" then
                  if inv and
                     inv:room_for_item("main", ItemStack(en.itemstring)) then
                     inv:add_item("main", ItemStack(en.itemstring))
                     if en.itemstring ~= "" then
                        minetest.sound_play("item_drop_pickup", {
                           to_player = player:get_player_name(),
                           gain = 0.4,
                        })
                     end
                     en.itemstring = ""
                     object:remove()
                  end
               end
            end

         end
      end
   end
end)

[sloantothebone]

I tried out the fix but i get an error <eof> expected near end

[valmet565]

Fix works well. Replace only this function: "minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime)". 71 lines.

[Joz]

For me the line with "minetest.sound_play" doesn't work, also not with other sound files.

[fireglow]

I, too, recommend the version of this mod that is shipped with Carbone: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9033
It works as exptected!

[rlocki69]

Is there any way to break a block and not get the item dropped, but you can pick up blocks on the ground?

[rlocki69]

Whenever I try to drop an item, the sound plays but nothing happens.
