[Mod] Timber-Frame [0.4.9.1] [fachwerk]

[Sokomine]

I've tried to build a house using this mod, and it turned out that facedir was missing, so I added that. The nodes look really nice:


While doing so, I also changed the code a bit so that it can be applied more easily to other textures. The crafting receipes are cheaper now as well. Using all these textures and nodes might be far too much. This overview is just for taking a look and choosing which may fit best:


See the attached init.lua (had to compress it for forum attachment) for the updated version. The rotation of the nodes is still tiresome and needs a better solution than the screwdriver. The _2 node is kind of surplus.

The rotation of the nodes is still tiresome and needs a better solution than the screwdriver.

Would be cool if, when punching facedir nodes with the same kinda node,
it rotated the node's face like a screwdriver's left click

then the screwdriver would only be necessary for turning the nodes' axis

That's something I've taken into consideration as well. It would still be a slow process to rotate the node into the desired position. A formspec showing the diffrent rotations of the textures might be faster. Unfortunately, such a formspec won't work well with meshes and thus not be universal enough. I'd kind of like to have client-side prediction for the functionality of the screwdriver.

If you create a second node with flipped image. Do not have it in inventory. Then you can do an on_punch if holding the original node then set_node to the flipped.
Just a thought. I do love this mod.

I still don't see what license this mod is under. Please consider posting this to github - makes it easy to handle downloads, source code history and accept contributions.

JBB is kinda tricky, he hid the info at the top of the first post :)

I made a half-timbered mod!
It adds truss-blocks. The licencese is GPL v.3

[sofar]

"hid" as in misspelled "License" so my word find didn't see it :^o

[jbb]

GitHub is a good idea.
I will upload it to github soon.

You cant understand the name of the mod because its german.
When i started writing the mod, I didnt know whats "fachwerk" in english.

[jbb]

What do you think about a medival minetest game?
With fachwerk and other mediaval blocks like oil lamps....

If yes, do you have some Ideas for the Mediaval game?

[Sokomine]

If yes, do you have some Ideas for the Mediaval game?

There are some mods around that do part of that already. Just take darkage, or my cottages mod. The beautiful landscape created by plants_lib (included in Dreambuilder) and some farming_plus mod might also fit into that scenario. Many such mods can be found on the King Arthurs Land server.

Since there are so many English terms in German language, why not put some German terms into English language? :)

They seem to have more than one term for it already. New houses are seldom built in that fashion anymore, so it's not likely that a new term will be needed in English. Besides...we already gave them the term Kindergarten. Maybe others as well?

I will upload it to github soon.

That's fine! Hope you'll find my changed init.lua useful as well. The nodes really need 3d facedir. My version just creates too many versions and ought to be restricted to fewer node types, which can easily be achieved by commenting out or deleting a few lines at the end.

Don't change the name! There's no such thing as "Fachwerk" in English, most translations I have seen are "Timber Framing" which actually has a different meaning and is about a completely different style.

I'm dutch originally, I knew what Fachwerk was, and I think the name is perfect. It's perfectly fine.

[Don]

I had no idea what fachwerk was until I saw this mod. I have no issue with the name. Minetest is a global community and having different names like this should be expected. Plus it gives the mod it's own unique identity.

[Napiophelios]

..Plus it gives the mod it's own unique identity.

I agree completely.

I also like Sokomine's "compressed" version, it allows adding support for other mods much easier :)

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

--Darkage mod
if minetest.get_modpath("darkage") then
fachwerk.register_fachwerk( 'adobe',        'darkage_adobe.png',        'Adobe',         'darkage:adobe' );
fachwerk.register_fachwerk( 'chalk',       'darkage_chalk.png',       'Chalk',       'darkage:chalk' );
fachwerk.register_fachwerk( 'mud',       'darkage_mud_up.png',       'Dried Mud',       'darkage:mud' );
fachwerk.register_fachwerk( 'stone_brick', 'darkage_stone_brick.png', 'Stone Bricks', 'darkage:stone_brick' );
end

--Cottages mod
if minetest.get_modpath("cottages") then
fachwerk.register_fachwerk( 'loam',        'cottages_loam.png',        'Loam',         'cottages:loam' );
end

[Sokomine]

The compressed version doesn't really work with the loam as that texture has a higher resolution. If someone can do a nice 16px texture for loam, I could use something more fitting, and there'd be no problem. Maybe using clay and applying a color filter might do?

There is an unused texture for cob in the original Darkage mod that works well for it,
maybe change the color a bit.

[jbb]

What Do you think about a middleage minetest game. Whis Fachwerk mod and other old stuff?

Sorry,im writing with my mobilephpOne

[Napiophelios]

sounds great...actually sounds like the one I have been working on for about six months.
it has your mod and several others to compliment the era.
the only thing it doesnt have yet is a point.

[jbb]

New version!

Sokomine added a API for easyer add new nodes!
I changed it a bit, orginal code from sokomine is aviable in the comments.

[jbb]

Post your screenshots with the mod! If you want I can post them in the main post.

[Napiophelios]

the alternate textures still have the old file names,

Nice changes too!
I am building a house near my crops, I will post pics when I finish :)

[jbb]

Oh sorry, I'll fix the alternates tomorrow.

[cd2]

very cool mod :D

[jbb]

Now the alternates should be named right.
I also find a bug with texturing I fixed too.

[afflatus]

I don't like the crafting recipes.

1) Fachwerk blocks seem very expensive at a 9:2 ratio. I don't see that there would be much wastage of materials, why not 9:8?
2) The recipe for the plain block is the wrong way round. The frame takes less wood than the truss (_1 & _2) frames. So the quantity of base material to wood should be reversed - 1 wood to 8 base material.

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_craft({
      output = "fachwerk:"..basename.." 8",
      recipe = { { craft_from, craft_from, craft_from },
         { craft_from, "group:wood", craft_from },
         { craft_from, craft_from, craft_from },
      } });

I like to translate "fachwerk" as "timber frame".

[mbb]

I realy like this mod.
it's a realy cool mod for build houses old style.

[jbb]

@afflatus,
I decided to set the output to 8.

Here is the new Version:

[fireglow]

I've been using this mod on my server for a long time, never had any issues with it.
Very nice mod!

[mbb]

I have a made a texturespack that also supports the "fachwerk"mod
