mod updated to 0.1.1 -- see 1st post

I was not aware that buttons had been implemented into the inventory. I read through the API and tried to do it myself and couldn't get it to work. flabergasted.

Hey ashenk69,

I started by stealing this code (It appears your mod concept made it into core!):
https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/blob/master/mods/creative/init.lua

Did find/replace for creative to craft_guide, then just applied it to the code I stole from you to make the node inventory work.

That's pretty awesome that my idea actually made it into the core of the game.

Hello everyone!
I tried to install this mod on the minetest v0.4.1 and got this:

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: 09:36:49: VERBOSE[main]: error_message = ServerError: LuaError: error: ...bin\..\games\minetest_game\mods\craft_guide\init.lua:308: attempt to call field 'create_detached_inventory' (a nil value)

Line #308 contents this:

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 inv = minetest.create_detached_inventory("craft_guide", {

What should I do to make this work?

by **cornernote** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 06:16

I think create_detached_inventory didn't make it into minetest 0.4.1. If you goto the blog there is a RC release of 0.4.2. That will load it. Other option is to compile from source.

by **4aiman** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 08:09

Thanks, with RC 0.4.2 it works :)
BTW (sorry for offtop) what do I need to compile minetest under win? Could I get it as all-in-one *.7z file or smth?

by **cornernote** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 09:19

There's a guide here:
http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1434

Its really easy if you don't want sound, most of the libs you have to get are for sound to work.

I don't think it can be given as an all-in-one zip because of licensing issues.

Hello!
I love this mode, but it crashes my minetest, and i don't know why - there is not any error or something else in terminal, i have latest build from sources both, minetest and craft_guide. System is Linux Mint 13.
Here is debug.txt http://ompldr.org/vZXpzYg

After removing folder with your mod, it works again.

could someone help me?

by **4aiman** » Tue Aug 07, 2012 07:18

2 maderexxx:
I'm too have linux mint 13 (mate) and this mod works fine with minetest 4.2 RC1 (or later if exist).
Besides, I couldnt find any info in the debug.txt related to this mod...
Maybe it's some sort of conflict? Could you try to remove all mods but craft_guiide and see what would happen?
Although, which mod is logging this:

19:04:45: INFO[main]: cmd 67 count 0

?
I've never saw any with such "output".

by **madarexxx** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 11:37

I've got a compromise - delete flags mod, and everything works!

you have a stairs mod? i can't find it...

Hello, first I'd like to say this is a useful mob and I know a lot of people would welcome it.

However, wouldn't it be more logical to build this mod around bookshelves rather than signs? Bookshelves have no use so far other than decorations, and by modding the bookshelves to act as the guide, it would give it more purpose.

Or is that not possible yet?

by **cornernote** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 23:06

Good idea. Vanessae said something similar. I suck at desing, if someone can do some textures I can add a craft bookshelf.

Cornernote, thank you for this mod, it works fine, but i found 3 issues in it:
1) It crash Minetest if you have many mods and world have some dropped things (about 1 stack is enough for crash)
2) If there is two or more recipes which are producing same thing, you can see only one of them. What about adding buttons near a craft window, which will switch recipes?
3) It works slow sometimes (not critical, but is a little irritating)

And what about a function, to find, in which recipes is this thing using. It will be very useful for people, who have many mods.

Thanks you very much

1)
I have a LOT of mods in my world. Most of them from the forum. Can you give more info about the crash? What are you doing at the time, anything useful in debug.txt ?

2)
At this point in time the game engine does not give me the output of both crafts, only the last registered one. If the engine does not gain support for this in the next release or so I may update the mod to have its own registry. The problem with this is the installation for users is a little more tricky.

3)
Yeah, again I'm going to have to blame the engine. I'm not sure why, but if you have a lot of mods it does that.

If you simply want a way to see all the items and recipes, you may consider using my GameWiki. It will give you a website that shows how to make everything your game offers (even if recipes overlap). You can have unlimited bookmarks, multiple tabs and search (all thanks to your web browser).

You have to rename it to craft_guide (or remove the - (minus) characters, MT doesn't like them in the filename).

"Doesn't work" gives very little information about what's wrong. "Doesn't work" could mean a number of things, such as your computer being on fire, or turned off. Assuming your computer is on and not on fire, what isn't working? Were you not able to download it? Were you not able to install it? Were you not able to find a fire extinguisher?

by **PewDiePie** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 20:00

no my computer isnt on fire. i put it in my mod folder and open minetest and it says mod error.

by **Temperest** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 20:08

What is the folder named? Make sure it's named "craft_guide", and make sure you can find "init.lua" in that folder (and not in a folder inside that folder).

If init.lua is in a folder inside that folder, move that subfolder out into its own folder and delete the original one.

by **PewDiePie** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 20:12

do i unzip the folder?

by **Temperest** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 20:22

Um, yes.

You also need to have MineTest, and it also needs to be unzipped.

by **PewDiePie** » Sat Aug 18, 2012 20:26

k thx it worked.

Hmm. I keep getting a LUA error with this mod whenever I try to open my private world.
