[Mod] Bridges and handrails; including autobridge [bridges]

by Sokomine » Post

[Edit 01.07.2018]Re-added some screenshots[/Edit]

First of: This mod does almost the same as Mauvebic's "Nodebox utility" mod http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2750
I saw it too late and had my Mod finished when I found it :-(

Most of the things in my mod are more or less the same as in Mauvebics. What you get additionally are crafting receipes, a large bridge (spans 3 nodes!), and a bridge that builds itself automaticly.

The large bridge (spans 3 nodes):

After placing the auto-bridge node (looks like the top of a chest from all sides), the rest of the bridge gets built automaticly. Leftover parts can be found in the chest-like node:


The auto bridge after the deploy-node-chest has been replaced manually with a groundplate (sand and torches not included!):

What T-Junction, end-part and corners are good for:

+1 good work but a question is a 2 node wide bridge possible?
Sometimes, it's harder to think up a mod than it is to create it.

I see no reason why not. Maybe two node wide objects could be useful for the doors so that they could be one object instead of two with the upper part lagging. In the case of the bridges, the 3 node wide one is just playing around since three individual bridges would do the same.

I'll browse the code tomorrow but would rickedy ones that break when stood on for to long be possible or how about a drawbridge? I think those would be grat additions to the mod.

Nodes that break after one stood on them for too long...hm. Not very friendly towards peacefully idling people :-) But it ought to be possible in the way the mesecons' player dectector works.

A drawbridge is another point. The movement of a drawbridge cannot be handled in a practical way right now. All we have are boxes attached to each other. What would be possible is a drawbridge like a door - with the two possible stati "open/acts as bridge" and "closed/drawn up/roughly like a closed door". The ropes/chains to pull the bridge up might be a challenge if they ought to be drawn in a convincing way.

btw: you should make them snap to each other kinda like rails instead of making a piece of bridge for each part like htere sould be no t-junction and corner part just makes those parts when you put them next to each other like that ;)

Hm. Such an automatic function might be nice in some situations and facilitate building. The trouble is that the automatic function can only guess - it might be wrong and the player might want to have a small (accessible) bridge where the function places a corner. Maybe it could have extra parts that use such automatic functions to adjust to nearby bridge parts and the "normal" bridge parts for manual override.

+1 for that idea, they should snap into place instead of needing to craft 20 nodes

maybe snap in with on_construct, but do nothing when the node is dug, that way the player can still replace if they are not happy with the auto-selection

When I use autobridge (and the bridge gets completed), the autobridge box stays. It won't let me destroy it.
'Node not diggable'. So there's a block keeping me from using the bridge unless I jump over it.

Can you fix this? Thanks and have a great day!

This is an AWESOME mod...except that the pesky autobridge box stays.... :P

Nevermind. I feel like a dope, over here. I had to take out the left over parts, THEN destroy the box.

Sorry 'bout that.

Have a good one, buddy.
