Qwertymine3 - another really noob question - how do you get rid of the geyser?

Hi playing with the Mesecons mod. I have the micro-controller with lamps connected to ports B/D and switches to A/C. I'd like the lamps to come on when a switch (A) is turned on. port = {a=false, b=false, c=false, d=false} if port.a == true then port.b = true port.d = true else port.b = false port.d...

Sorry
I'll check...my Mesecons could be a from last year

Hi I've been using Minetest 0.4.14 with mesecons mod, on a Win 8.1, running it from a USB stick. If I add a Mesecon block like a Lua Controller it shuts down, with this error 2016-10-16 17:07:44: ERROR[Main]: stack traceback: 2016-10-16 17:07:44: ERROR[Main]: [C]: in function 'ipairs' 2016-10-16 17:...

I was a "moron".
I had copied the mod directory in, and even though I didn't see it until prompted by Krock, had mod/mod

Thanks for your help.

Thank Krok you were right - the debug.txt text showed in part that it couldn't find the mods ERROR[Main]: The following mods could not be found: "areas" "asphalt" "asphaltstairs" "australia" "concretestairs" "constructionarea" "delinea...

Thank you

Hi I need to have a "portable" version of Minetest to do some modding with kids in a school. I downloaded all my mods from the server, and installed them in the mods directory. So now I have a local version of my server, and don't need to worry about getting ports open. On my server, using...

Thanks
That's perfect

So the /giveme worked OK. I slightly changed the code you gave me: minetest.register_craftitem("teaching:conditionals",{ description = "Change dirt to water!", stack_max = 1, inventory_image = "default_water.png", on_place = function(_,_,pointed_thing) local looking_at ...

Cheers

I'll look at it...

Thanks
so how can I access that item. Does it put it into one's inventory? Do I need to manually add it to inventory.

qwertymine3 I tried this, in anew mod folder called "teaching" minetest.register_craftitem("teaching:conditionals",{ description = "Change dirt to water!", stack_max = 1, inventory_image = "default_water.png", on_place = function(_,_,pointed_thing) local looki...

Code that kids can write or adapt would be the ideal. So I've taken a LUA loop - write Hello World 10 times to lay 10 blocks side by side. That's the kind of progression I had in mind. And I think all they can probably handle! The API has always been a sticking point (not just in Minetest) for me. I...

Thanks 10Plus1, thanks Hybrid Dog
I've been away. Appreciate you both taking the time

Yep that's it
If I've got it wrong (and I obviously have) please tell me.

Just giving it a bash - and having a go. Not always with success!

Hi I'm trying to Learn LUA, and programmatically laying out 5 blocks side by side. I've got: minetest.after(20, function(pos) pos.x=-27.6 for count = 1, 5, 1 do minetest.set_node({pos, y=2.5, z=-21.2}, {name="default:dirt"}) pos.x=pos.x + 1 end end ) but it gives me an error: 2016-09-29 17...

Thanks
I see you do a lot of work in Minetest. I was trying to work on basic coding examples that use Lua and work within Minestest, to teach some basic programming to kids.

Got any good ideas for simple simple programmes for kids, who'll generally have no idea of coding?

Hi I'm a noob and trying to do some basic stuff. My code looks like this: minetest.register_chatcommand("foo1", { privs = { interact = true }, func = function(name, param) local a = param end }) minetest.register_chatcommand("foo2", { privs = { interact = true }, func = function(...

I've installed this on a server. The mod is enabled in the world.mt file

Yes....but instead of a player, I see a frame/box showing "unknown object". I can't get a screenshot - I'm at work.

What do you mean have "npfc enabled" in the world?

Thanks
that certainly did appear to spawn. But it shows as "unknown object". I go back to my previous question - have I missed some pre-requisite mod?

Thanks. That "worked", but I don't see anything in my inventory. I looked in the files for any info about other mods required - do I need skins or anything similar. I tried to right click and place the "node", but there wasn't anything there. Has anyone written a manual for the m...

Hi
I installed the NPC Framework WIP mod without error, and I tried to run the command "/giveme npcf:builder_npc_spawner", but I got an error - "Cannot give an unknown item".
What have I missed? I'm after an info NPC to provide some help to players.
