[Mod] More Blocks [moreblocks]

[BrandonReese]

I can't get glowglass by the recipe in 0.4.4. Getting it through /give works fine.

I edited the crafting recipe and made it work. In the crafting recipe I had to make sure it was using "default:torch" and "default:glass" instead of just "torch" and "glass", I had to add "default:" to items in a few other recipe's also but I forget which ones.

make a version with no nodeboxes. no microblocks, panels, stairs
for a standard builder. i dont know why people would want to build with such small blocks

Detail. :)
You're not forced to use these, of course. If you want to reduce loading time, go to Settings then disable "Preload item visuals", this will speed up world loading a lot.

[markveidemanis]

can you make a version that adds only basic corner and normal stairs?

[Kryuko]

I have this problem with this mod:

Turn your texture atlas off. Close your game, edit minetest.conf and add this line:

enable_texture_atlas = false

Then restart your game.

[Kryuko]

Thanks! :)

[Kryuko]

Uhm, no, not work.

Same here. Superglowglass recipe doesn't work either. Using MoreBlocks and Stairs+ from 2012_12_19 along with MT 0.4.4

I see Brendan has found a solution. The trouble exists on a server I play on so I don't have access to the init.lua files to apply Brendan's fix.

2012_12_28 (not 18, palm-to-forehead) Update: microblock crafting doesn't work either.

Otherwise, keep up the good work, Calinou! I really enjoy having the design options that MoreBlocks and Stairs+ provide. My texture pack of choice is your "Misa" texture pack.

Thanks! :)

Big update:
- added wooden tiles, craft with 9 wooden planks in every crafting square
- checkers can now be oriented with "facedir"
- super glow glass now has a brighter texture
- fixed glow glass crafting.

[Sokomine]

Can you add an alternate receipe for sweepers? They can't be crafted on Redcrabs server due to lack of junglegrass. Thus, clean glass is not possible.

Also it would be nice to be able to craft junglewood planks without junglewood. That is to some degree possible with stairs made out of plankstone wood (at least on Redcrabs server). Maybe that darker wood could be crafted with dirt+wooden planks similar to the homedecor things? Also a receipe for the clean bookshelf without a bookshelf would be good. Books are too expensive if you don't have regrowing papyrus.

[Calinou]

celeron55 made a branch a month ago which adds jungles and dungeons back to the game, it is currently not merged. Jungle grass also randomly generates in latest git. I know it won't apply to older worlds (in currently generated areas), just saying. :)

It makes no sense to add the ability to craft jungle wood planks without jungle wood.

[Sokomine]

Oh yes it does. Jungle wooden planks are an excellent building material. I'd like to have them on Redcrab's server. Just imagine how likely it is that he would install moretrees. And if you're afraid that a receipe might be too stupid...well...sand+coal=wool...try that in RL....

[VanessaE]

I think the best compromise would be to have a recipe in More Blocks that can craft the dark jungle tree wood found there from the lighter-colored variety found in my More Trees mod. Just call it something obvious, e.g. "dark jungle tree wood", and make it from one moretrees:jungletree_planks + 1 coal + 1 dirt or something.

I second that option. Also, will the glowglass and super glowglass stairs ever be able to give off light? They don't do so currently.

[Calinou]

Update! Now with "full", "centered" and "directional" wooden tiles. Also added a setting (in _config.txt) for enabling/disabling the ability to change the direction of wooden planks (enabled by default).

Some blocks and items have been renamed, if you are a texture pack author, make sure to rename the files.

Lots of code cleanups done, git repository was reset, if you are having trouble updating, delete it and clone it again.

Do you plan to update your texture pack « [256×] Minecraft Enhanced TP converted to Minetest » with the new names ?

-----

When using the last version of your mod, Minetest looks for a texture named « moreblocks_jungle_wood_fence.png », but in the textures folder it's named « moreblocks_fence_jungle_wood.png ».

[Calinou]

This shell script can be used to convert packs, place it in the texture pack's directory and run it.

I'm currently updating Minecraft Enhanced and Misa's texture pack, by the way. :P

Why the heck would you clear Git history? Kind of defeats the purpose.

Anyway, I had both this mod and "stairsplus" instaled. I just tried the new version of this, and it gives this error message:

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

...moreblocks/stairsplus.lua:5: attempt to call global 'register_stair' (a nil value)


This error goes away if the "stairsplus" mod is removed. If "stairsplus" has been integrated into this mod, nevermind this message. Otherwise, be aware that there is an incompatibility between the two.

Merging issues, I forgot doing a "git pull" before doing a big update, so I gave up and deleted the repository and created it again.

Stairs+ is now a "soft dependency" of More Blocks, so if you use Stairs+, some More Blocks materials can be used as stairs/slabs/panels/microblocks.

Since More Blocks is having about "more blocks" (:P), maybe I'll merge Stairs+ in More Blocks...

edit: More Blocks and Stairs+ are now merged, added compatbility aliases for converting all Stairs+ nodes to More Blocks nodes.

[deivan]

Nice, but I have a big amount of unknow blocks now, ie: "moreblocks:slab_splitstonesquare_quarter_wall" not defined

Maybe some aliases solve this problem?

[Calinou]

Added more alises, should (hopefully) be fixed.

[deivan]

Testing... I have some problems:
moreblocks:stair_stonesquare
moreblocks:slab_stonesquare_wall
moreblocks:slab_splitstonesquare_quarter_wall
moreblocks:splitstonesquare
moreblocks:slab_stonesquare_quarter
moreblocks:slab_splitstonesquare_quarter_wall
moreblocks:panel_stonesquare_vertical
moreblocks:panel_stonesquare_top

[Calinou]

Added more aliases, try downloading again.

Ah. I see. Well, next time be aware that you can definitely undo bits of history without deleting the whole repository. I'm sure you can always ask here and someone can help, but generally you'll be interested in the "git reset" command and/or the "-f" option to "git branch". The "git stash" command is also often useful in these scenarios.

Like tables in Lua, Git commits that are orphaned because there are no branches or descendant commits with branches pointing at them will be automatically garbage collected at some point. No need to worry about leaving them dangling.

[deivan]

Testing...
All is working fine less the block moreblocks:splitstonesquare. I think this is my last problem. :-P
-*-
I found another one: moreblocks:slab_glowglass_quarter_wall

[Tedypig]

Idea for improvement. Make this compatible with inventory plus. I hate going through 76 pages to find the one node I'm looking for. Also some of the glow glass nodes don't work (slabs, quarter nodes, etc.)

[Calinou]

Added (super) glow glass aliases, they also emit light now. I don't know why the split stone tile alias doesn't work, though (it works for me).
