I have a pipeworks teleporter tube on the controller, so I can send to the system from anywhere which is great. It would be nice however, to have a solution to remotely interact with the system in the same way you can at the local controller. Perhaps a very expensive portable version of the controll...

Pun half-intended, but this mod is a game changer. In my opinion it belongs in the top ten Minetest mods. It's simple to construct and use once you have acquired enough iron and mese, and it's functionally very significant. Usage of chests in the crafting recipe for the storage cells is brilliant fo...

Okay, so this time I really did find a bug that I can reproduce every time: Add a few stacks of any item into the console, then search for that item. Remove one of the stacks from the search results into your inventory. 1/2 the stack in your inventory and put one of the halves back into the empty ce...

Don't do too much chasing on this. I've not been able to reproduce it after more testing and I'm starting to wonder. I rarely play in creative and it's usually to test something, so I'm not used to the fact that stacks do not deplete when nodes are placed from them in creative. 99 stays 99. You see ...

Great concept! I've discovered a possible bug. I made a new creative world and gave myself stacks of controllers, storage cells and lifts (99 each). I placed an asrs system and began randomly spreading what was left of the three stacks on various controller pages using a blend of left-click drag, ri...

Thanks for the confirmation. In that case, I'm looking to deactivate spawning of mobs_npc:npc, mobs_npc:igor and mobs_npc:trader. What's the cleanest way to do so? Use spawn.lua and comment them out, change all their nodes to "default:lava_source", change chance to 9999999999 or some such?

Hey TenPlus1, thanks for all your great mods. In mobs_npc, do untamed/no owner NPC's spawned by the mod eventually despawn? I understand/hope that tamed/owned NPC's do not. My concern is that over time, hundreds or more of these untamed/no owner NPC's will wander out of sight and lag the world/serve...

Awesome, thanks for the guidance, folks. I've cleaned up the mod from your suggestions, Skamiz Kazzarch. Much appreciated. I'll go with just submitting via the route suggested by rubenwardy.

Hello, I've contacted rubenwardy.com in the past, and he suggested first reaching out to the community by, "making an approval thread to point out anything an editor should be aware of". So, this is that thread. I've put together a mod which I'm attaching here ( redacted ). Could I get som...

Thanks Desour. Yes, it helps to actually end. I'm attaching the mod as a chat command in a zip here for others, assuming you are okay with it being made available since you've already shared the code?

Thanks very much to everyone for your help!

Although your code seems to work, is it grabbing all the registered nodes considering how and when it loads as a mod? What I mean is that ideally, it should load and run last after all other mods have registered. This thought got me thinking to rewrite the mod as a chat command so that it can be man...

Thanks Blockhead, I've tried out "Minetest Errata" and it just didn't give the information I needed with the command "showmewhatyougot". So I've placed Desour's code into a generic mod and tested both of Desour's methods. The first showed 16464 and the second method showed 16599....

Thanks Desour. I assume you to mean that the code goes in an init.lua in a generic mod? I'm on Windows 11 if this is intended for Linux command line. How would I print the results to screen or a file if used in a mod?

Hello, this may be a dumb question with a very simple answer, but is there a way in Minetest to show the total number of registered nodes? I can't find it anywhere. I know the max is 32,768 and I wish to see how much room I have left for more mods so that I can mitigate and throttle what I'm doing i...

Thanks much, LMD. Your reply confirms what I was worried about. I'll have to put this on the backburner then and vet all the licensing when I have time. There are 109 mod folders in my game so I'll have a lot of work to do. I should eventually do it though as I suspect a lot of players would really ...

Hello, I've spent some years (on and off) making a MT Game, and am considering submission to ContentDB. It's quite well polished in a gameplay sense. I've contacted rubenwardy.com in the past, and he suggested first reaching out to the community by, "making an approval thread to point out anyth...

Great work cx384!

Hello, I've recently posted a thread in "Problems" that turns out after testing to involve Animalia, here's the thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29806.

Thanks very much to everyone for the great suggestions! It turns out after much testing that the sole cause of the problems is the "Animalia" mod: https://github.com/ElCeejo/animalia and / or it's dependency, "Creatura": https://github.com/ElCeejo/creatura When these are disabled...

Thanks cx384. Where would I enter/implement the debug code? I'm on Windows in singleplayer.

Thanks for the suggestions, SuperStarSonic. I was aware that depends.txt is deprecated and has temporary legacy support. Animalia is not a modpack and has no depends.txt in it's structure. I'm leaning that the issue could be Unified Inventory. I've just tested my game by copying all non-minetest gam...

Disregard. Moderator, please delete.

Just my guess but are there any differences between mods using mod.conf verses depends.txt? That might be why you are seeing these question marks in the Unified Inventory mod maybe? Thanks, good thought, so I've just gone in for some further examining and testing. There seems to be no difference co...

Hello, I hope someone here can shed light on a strange issue in a custom game I've built. When hovering on many items in Unified Inventory, in the tooltip, the mod name appears as [??]. This is not true for all mods, but many and seems random, but is consistent (not changing when revisiting the same...
