Minetest Forums

Thanks Skamiz, that was indeed the problem. The missing description in the node definition prevented it from appearing in the Craft Guide. Working code: minetest.register_node("destination_moon:spaceship", { description = "Spaceship", drawtype = 'mesh', mesh = 'spaceship.obj', ti...

I've partially found the cause of my problem. seems like init.lua was missing a call to minetest.register_craftitem Evidently I can register a node that's craftable and placeable in the game, without any such call. However, although adding a call to minetest.register_craftitem does make the object a...

yep. I'll start a thread in Modding Discussion unless someone is able to move this one over there.

Linuxdirk wrote:Did you opt-depend on unified_inventory?

I've put a depends.txt file in the mod folder declaring a dependency on unified_inventory.

Still doesn't work however.

In that case, I must be doing something wrong in my mods that prevents unified_inventory from seeing the craftable items they contain.

Thanks all for your help.

Unless one of you can move this thread to Modding Discussion, I'll start a new thread over there where I'll post a bit of code.

Just iterate over the relevant tables. https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/431d8a9b83be858193328fe59e75026fa023393f/doc/lua_api.txt#L4776-L4783 Do you happen to know if mods such as unified_inventory use that technique? Would make no sense to ship with some hard coded list that will immediate...

hmm, i press "i" open the unified_inventory (if that or similar) is on the server, and there I can type in the name of item, node i am looking for and if in the server by a mod, then I can look the receipt even. I've written mods, installed on my server, that define nodes which don't appe...

Wuzzy wrote:/mods?

I thought that output to the chat a list of installed mods. Doesn't give recipes does it?

I was assuming there is some api function that gives lua code a list of mods. Then, iterating through that list, for each mod, it would be possible to get details of any recipes.

Thanks Wuzzy, I'm aware of that.

What I had in mind was something that somehow reads all the other mods actually installed on a given server.

Is there a mod that reads through the the recipes of all other installed mods and tells the user what can be crafted and how? I don't think unified_inventory does that. I have mods installed on my server that don't appear in the recipes it tells me about. I don't see how else a user is supposed to k...

Yes!

Thanks for your help.

When I export an obj file from Blender, does the the way the object gets cut up for uv mapping purposes get included in that obj file? And if it does, does Minetest respect that information? I have a png assigned in blender and on rendering in blender the colours end up in the right places. https://...

Thanks Nathan. That gives me something to play with.

I want to experiment with exporting an obj model from blender and using it in a mod. Could anyone direct me to a dead simple mod I could examine to see how it's done? The mods I've looked at are complicated by movements, interactions and other behaviours. I'm wanting one that just has a model, presu...

£17.95 isn't the correct answer?

Thanks red-001, that works. The other solution that occurs to me is putting a record in the local dns such that servers.minetest.net resolves to some local machine on which I could run a service that returns the list I want displayed. Does anyone know exactly what query is sent to serverlist_url and...

Back in 2015, rubenwardy gave an adaptation to a lua file to remove the public server list. Remove public server list This gets rid of the public server list, but doesn't disable multiplayer - the user can still connect to a server if they know its IP address. Go to minetest/builtin/tab_multiplayer....

Code: Select all

minetest.register_alias("mapgen_singlenode", "<nodename>")

Thanks, I'll try it.

Thanks Wuzzy, that's what I'm looking for. I'll experiment with it.

Thanks Thermal_Shock, I'd be interested to see your game, the more minimal the better! I was thinking of an endless universe of one type of block, with the player starting out in a say 10x10x10 space, in the middle of that infinite expanse of blocks. No sky, no clouds, no vegetation. No fantastic ge...

What would be the absolute minimum 'game' that could be used to create a world and 'play'? The 'hello world' of minetest games, merely to demonstrate that the engine does something. The minimal development test game still has a lot of things in it. Clouds, blocks of earth with grass on top, rocks, s...

Thank you Krock. I might have the same mod, possibly in different versions That will at least leave some error or warning messages in your debug.txt file, as these mods may conflict Yes, for example, my debug.txt contains the lines: 2018-01-18 07:52:25: WARNING[Main]: Not registering alias, item wit...

Well, in that case, I might have the same mod, possibly in different versions, in both
minetest/mods and a game specific mod directory.

Is the game specific version always loaded in preference over the other?

According to the wiki https://wiki.minetest.net/Help:Installing_Mods As of 0.4.7, the mods are installed globally and enabled per world. and yet, when I look at minetest-0.4.16, the minetest_game mods are all within the game at: minetest-0.4.16-win64\games\minetest_game\mods So, is the wiki incorrec...

Thanks. I'll follow those suggestions up & see if I can get something working.
