ModError :(

[drpeppercan]

Hi all,

Just so you know, I am not a programmer. I only know some coding for HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of JS.
I am using Ubuntu Studio 16.04 (with XFCE desktop).

Basically I just followed these instructions:
Install:
"From the tarball: Just extract it.
From the git repository: git clone https://github.com/VanessaE/dreambuilder_modpack.git
...then rename the resultant directory to "dreambuilder_modpack", if necessary, and move it to your Minetest mods directory. Then select and enable it for the world you want to use it in."



From the debug.txt file:

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

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Rename the folder to just "dreambuilder"?

[Krock]

@KCoombes: Please read the error properly. It's either an issue with dreambuilder itself or it is a freshly added API function.

@drpeppercan: Update your minetest_game repository. The API has changed in the doors mod.

[drpeppercan]

Thank you for replying guys :)

KCoombes, I did rename the directory to dreambuilder.

Krock, I did update the game repo.
This is what I did:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minetestdevs/stable
sudo apt-get update

Now the error report is this one (it seems the same though):

Seems like an error with the code of the mod...
Why you don't try to post the error in this thread:
-https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9196 (The official one from the mod)

Maybe the creator (VanessaE) can give you a better solution, or at least say what you did wrong when installing.

Thank you MY, I'll do that.
