You can use an Entity with the visual style set to sprite, see the API documentation here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... in=1#L8314

-- "sprite" is a flat texture always facing the player.

Logistica 0.9.0 is now out! This update introduces portable liquid storage: Reservoirs Guide link rservoirs_s.jpg Reservoirs are nodes that store liquid, that can be filled or emptied with a Bucket, and that can be dug up and carried around while keeping their content. Reservoirs also connect to a ...

This is a very cool job. I've bookmarked this page and will check out this mod when I fix my computer. Thanks, I have a couple of major features left to do - if you find any issues or think the mod is missing something, feel free to let me know. Meanwhile, some updates following some feedback: 0.8....

Oh damn, so I can't make a timer in an on_use function? You can. The problem here, as mentioned, is that you're starting a Node timer for a position that is 1 below the user's position. Basically node timers don't care who starts them. When they expire they call the on_timer of the node at the posi...

My two cents, yes "defragmentation" of the community would be good given that it's still a small-ish community - but realistically I don't think it is something anyone can affect much at all. Biggest reason why it would be hard to do is, I think, that those platforms serve different crowds...

Logistica 0.8.0 is now out! This update adds one cool new functionality: The Wireless Access Pad [guide link] the_wap.jpg wireless_access_pad_ui.jpg A video guide is available here: https://youtu.be/tx3YbpxHEdM The Wireless Access Pad is a handheld device that allows you to access your Network Stor...

Release 0.7.3 - Greatly improved Network lookup by caching network ID per node (this will be applied retroactively to old worlds too) Added new machine: Cobble Generator Supplier Guide link cobblegen_supplier.jpg The Cobble Generator Supplier acts as a supplier that generates Cobble and stores a sm...

0.7.1: Added network search depth limits, to prevent possible infinite recursive searches from multiple Crafting Suppliers.

The Crafting Supplier is still experimental, so if anyone tries it and finds bugs, I would appreciate letting me know!

Release 0.7.0 is now out, and it adds one major, powerful, new machine: Crafting Supplier crafting_supplier.jpg The Crafting Supplier is a on-demand autocrafter: - Want to store only Steel Blocks in your storage, but some of your machines need Steel Ingots? Set up one Crafting Supplier to convert th...

Release 0.6.3: Fixed Network consistency issues, and also added two new nodes: The Vaccuum Chest Guide Link Collects nearby dropped items (distance 3 blocks or less). It can also be connected to a Network and will provide any items it collects to the Network and any requests for those items (or stor...

Version 0.6.1 Released: Fixes a lot of bugs with Access Point and the Network store/retrieve algorithm. Also adds a crafting grid to the Access Point for convenience and added/improved tooltips. access_point_small.jpg 0.6.2: Tiny release to just fix a crash when taking items directly from Tool Box

This looks interesting, question about the rules, specifically these 2: - All gameplay and code must be original work completed within the development timeframe - Third-party or AI assets and libraries may be used if thoroughly documented and properly licensed Does this mean all code has to be origi...

The mod is now live for download on ContentDB: https://content.minetest.net/packages/ZenonSeth/logistica/ If anyone finds bugs, you can raise an issue on github , or you can also just leave a message here if you don't have a github account. I've already found a minor bug which I need to fix, along w...

Some more screenshots since I'm limited to only 3 per post: Mass Storage, showing full upgrade and having an item picked to display on the front: mass_storage.jpg A Requester Targeting a sieve: screen05.png Configuring a requester to always keep 1 fuel in a Furance's Fuel inventory: screen07.png

Logistica NEW_summary.png Description: Logistica is an on-demand item transportation and storage mod. The main principle behind it is that no item is moved unless it is needed somewhere. This mod does not use entities for transportation, and an effort has been made to cache many lookups as to produ...

Ok, so it was hidden characters at the start (edit: or actually characters that minetest takes out when showing in chat), makes sense. Adding get_translated_string(..) inside my comparison function made it sort in the right order - thanks.

I'm writing a thing to sort an inventory, and I'm using the standard table.sort function passing in a custom comparison function, but the results are not what I expected. I'm printing the output directly in the comparison function like this (d.log is my own debug print function): function (stack1, s...

Yeah, an engine-provided implementation would be ideal. I think there's an issue raised already: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11477 - that's where I read someone's approach of copying any currently online player. There's a lot of properties that would be no-op, and some that could hav...

Just in case it's an applicable solution, but you can get the player object from the player name with: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/5.7.0/doc/lua_api.txt#L5592 * `minetest.get_player_by_name(name)`: Get an `ObjectRef` to a player Yes, I'm well aware of that API... it's like minetest mo...

Yeah I was looking exactly at the pipeworks fake player as to how they do it. For my purposes I need something much simpler. I got a fake player implementation working, at least for the nodes I tested it on - but I agree, and that's why I was asking about a possible API here in the first place, that...

You actually only need 2 adjacent water source blocks to renew a water block, not 3. But if your water is failing to renew, there's two reasons why I can think of: 1. It might be river water, not regular water. River water is a slightly more cyan color (by default) than regular water. River water do...

So I'm writing code to take items from another node's inventory, and I realized that none of the InvRef functions or any other inventory/meta API will actually call the node's allow_metadata_inventory_take - as far as I can tell. I can call it myself from the target node's def, I have the player nam...

It did not function properly with the mod "Better Nametags" (https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=20755), That was faster than I thought, I released a new version on ContentDB - Release 0.5 Release 0.5 - Fixes an issue with mod compatibility - Also fixes some issues caused by specia...

Very cool! It did not function properly with the mod "Better Nametags" (https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=20755), with this mod, it's hiding the nametag. Maybe something to look into? Besides that, thanks for a helpful mod. Thanks for the feedback, I'll download that mod and have...
