I have to wonder if your copy is entirely up-to-date, as all of the gates are registered in a loop (they are all "xxxx Fence Gate", though I do need to improve that wording).

Name tables are at lines 131 and 132 and the names are set at lines 178 and 208 in doors_and_gates.lua.

I can't see any way that chainlink gates would stand apart from the others.

Hullo!

I've been going through homedecor renaming differnet items that have the same dispay name in the inventory.
ie:
description = ("Glass Skylight")
description = ("Frosted Glass Skylight")

All was working well until I came across chainlink fence gates. I've been studying and tweaking the crafts.lua, fences.lua, and door_and_gates.lua files but "Chainlink Fence" still keeps coming up for the gate.

I see the code in door_and_gates.lua helps reduce the amount of lines needed for the gates. I don't comprehend all of it yet but it is nice to know that such an option exists.

I'm interested in understanding this chainlink fence gate naming glitch to help my learning of lua.

Thanks :)

You need to rename the folder.  From the first post on this thread:

(Sorry if that comes off badly - I'm quite insistent that people read the instructions)

Sorry for that I forgot activate the mod but I redid it edited the post with the right stuff this time on post 176 thanks

I might consider that, sure.

VanessaE, could you add something like a Barbecue to Homedecor? It would work like a furnace.

Why are you (or is it) executing the README as a script?

Here's what came up when I opened it thru the terminal  I got this"17:59:09: ERROR[main]: Error loading mod "VanessaE-homedecor-20787ff": modname does not follow naming conventions: Only chararacters [a-z0-9_] are allowed.
17:59:09: ERROR[main]: Server: Failed to load and run /Applications/Minetest.app/Contents/Resources/share/mods/minetest/VanessaE-homedecor-20787ff/init.lua
17:59:09: ERROR[main]: ModError: Failed to load and run /Applications/Minetest.app/Contents/Resources/share/mods/minetest/VanessaE-homedecor-20787ff/init.lua"

I think the debug.txt is disabled for him, as the latest settings allow disabling of it.

Try running minetest from a terminal (command prompt) and copy&paste the "ERROR" lines that are given when it exits.

No luck finding it anywhere.

The debug.txt file gets created in the game's "Current Working Directory". That is, whatever the "Start in" field in the shortcut says (if you created one), or in minetestfolder/bin/ if you double-clicked the executable.

The debug.txt should be in the same folder as your minetest config.
