What is wrong with this? [ALL SOLVED NOW]

[Dan Duncombe]

THNX EVERGREEN! That was the problem... darn commas..

[sfan5]

although it is WTFPL, please don't republish as your own. Please.

wat? Either you publish it as WTFPL and allow republishing/redistributing or you don't.
WTFPL == "Do what the fuck you want"-License
-> Theres no "Don't republish this."

There are errors

What about posting these?

[Dan Duncombe]

This is the error I get:

Also I don't know much about licences- do you know any (free) licences that don't allow people to redistribute the package, and that they can only modify it for personal use?

[Evergreen]

I think for that, you would like a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License, or CC BY-ND 3.0 for short. If that is a little too harsh, you might like a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Or otherwise known as CC BY-SA 3.0.

Neither of those licenses limits distribution. The former, doesn't allow modification of the source code, the latter asks for credit.

The simplest way to control distribution is to not chose a license (default copyright). Though, they won't let you post anything here unless you give up your rights over it. Personally, I think it's somewhat hypocritical since some of the people who push that policy live in countries that don't or hardly recognize copyright/copyleft but have generous protections in the form of inalienable droit d'auteur {ct}.

[Dan Duncombe]

Well, I don't mind copying as long as I get credit for original.

[mauvebic]

Then you'll want to use CC BY-SA, and it will cause less problems than using CC BY-ND.

In that case, you would want to use CC BY-SA 3.0. It is my favorite license.

[Dan Duncombe]

Does anyone actually know what is the problem with my mod?

[mauvebic]

post the debug

[Dan Duncombe]

I have posted it, higher up on this page.

[Topywo]

Putting a comma behind the (all) lines with 'output' in it might help.

(see also minetest/games/minetest_game/mods/default/crafting.lua ;-) ).

Edit: Typo's

[tinoesroho]

... According to debug, you forgot to close the recipe. *shrug*

Also, you're on Windows, so you should be using Notepad++ for modding. No, seriously: this has syntax highlighting. On my Linux box, pluma has it, and I find it an invaluable help. I usually forget to close a tag, so highlighting helps. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

*-ND licenses are not accepted for mods in Mod Releases

[Dan Duncombe]

I already use Notepad++, and I have put this under SA not ND. I can't have forgotten to close the recipe because I copy and pasted it out of the default game, and only changed the recipe and nodenames, so it can't be that wrong (unless I copied something wrong)
