I have made some tinkering wit this mod which basically caused almost a total rewrite (some of the function names are still the same, and I kept the textures except the GUI). My version offers these features: * Re-design of GUI to be cleaner and fit the new features * Where what goes matters now. Th...

If is possible I need a option to shutdown the item drop (or use a version with the auto catch embedded) and without the unified inventory (maybe disabled by a option in a config file. :D And I need know the function of the radiator. :-P The answer is in the code: -- The power radiator functions li...

A variant of the crash bug vktRus reported - this one happens when someone uses the chainsaw: 18:53:49: ERROR[main]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: ServerError: LuaE rror: error: /usr/share/minetest/builtin/item.lua:339: attempt to call field 'handle_node_drops' (a nil value) 18:53:49: ERR...

Will you work on the direction issue as well? You know: The one where the cart reverses its direction to the positive direction if stopped and started using the brake and accelerate rails? :-) (Issue described further up this page) Finally fixed :-) Thanks Adam. I like these little carts and how I ...

VanessaE wrote:As requested, I've lowered the resolution of those roof slopes, to 16 in this case (though not by using the above code).

Thanks. I see you managed to get your expressions even better with the update.

Hi Vanessa It is such a shame that the lighting is based on changing the color of the blocks. But your mod is good regardless. I have a small bug in your mod to report though: The roofing tile slope nodeboxes are implemented wrong. You have probably not noticed because the slopes.lua file specifies ...

Hi Vanessa
The slopes.lua default setting of "256" for the slopes is extremely taxing on (it seems) even a high end system. I would suggest something along the lines of 16-32 for a workable compromise. Also a lot of moiré patterns occur when using 256 as the default.
BR.

My idea was raher simple actually: Formspec or something akin to the painting mod depending if I can make the formspec work: 16x16 top view | 16x16 side view 16x16 side view| box for material When selecting one of the grid positions I would have a coordinate in 3D space. Some editing help could be d...

I hope some clever member can answer me this riddle: I am attempting to make an in-game node designer featuring a 3x 16x16 grid for the top and side views. The idea is that it must be possible to design some shabe in-game, put a material on it and be ready for prodigtion of the new block. Of course ...

Try travelnet by Sokomine. It definitely works very well.

I'll take care of the elevator as soon as I get the time and figure out how to handle the pull request technicly. At github you go to pull requests and perform the merge right there. There should not be any conflicts. One thing I did not implement is that the elevator should/could check that it is ...

You came well prepared and you executed the demonstration well! Respect for that.
I'd suggest you review the technic mod like this. It has some pretty well thought out machines and more coming.
It it not the work of me I just really like it a lot :-)

The technic mod now has a CNC machine implementing the functions of this mod. It has an API where you supply the node to allow being shaped and the new shapes will be added in the same name space of the node. For instance default:wood would get nodes like default:wood_technic_cnc_slope. You need the...

Iron meteors would deposit iron at the impact site. Depending on the size of the meteor though having even a 1x1x1m core left in the hole would in the real world have meant a rather huge rock falling out of space and not only a 58m crater but likely something in the order of kilometre wide spreading...

Hi there can you make this available on github? I was thinking of doing the same thing as this project so why not do something common. My thinking goes like this (survival game): Sky: black - needs engine modification The Sun still rises etc. of course. No clouds Air is something internal to buildin...

I have tried to use the formspec as it is advertised: http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_node#on_receive_fields Specifically the "fields" : fields — The names and values of the form's fields, as a table: {name1 = value1, name2 = value2, ...} is in my opinion not implemented as it st...

Can anyone make a treeassist mod? describtion: when you chop down a woodblock from a tree it will kill the complete tree and you get his items. is it possible? :D It is indeed possible. Take a look at the technic mod and add my chainsaw modifications to it. http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p...

I have this idea of creating large vehicles like cars, lorries, trains and what not. I see that the carts mod by PilzAdam supplies the cart as an entity. My understanding of an entity is that it has a separate life compared to "proper" nodes. So basically (as I understand it) I have two ch...

I see your API resembles very much what I had to do to the original noncubic mod to get my industrial:white_brick in a sloped version. (right above your comment http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4297&p=4 ) That is a plus. I like that the new sloped nodes in your version also takes name ...

I added a pull request for you at github. I have implemented the elevator - it works in exactly the same way as the travelnet except it looks like an elevator (with no door though) and. Licensing is the same as the one you are using. The textures were done by me in Gimp. 16x16 and 512x512 texture (f...

That's a nice way of using it, and I can see why you'd want a diffrent texture for that. Can you do one? I'm extremly bad at texture making. As for the elevator doors, the window shutters from my cottages mod might do, provided they where extended to two blocks height (not a problem). They're not a...

My 5 year old suggested we use these as elevators at the hotel we are building instead of stairs. It works nicely with 1st floor, 2nd floor etc. stations. Thanks for this mod! .. of course now we just need a cheaper version and some animated elevator doors and/or textures .-) Oh, and VanessaE to cre...

Hi RealBadAngel Here's the updated code which is massively less server killing. I am using a few tricks to make the magic happen but the effect is nice: Now the chainsaw uses 12 charge per node. A normal MT tree has about 50 nodes including leaves to by that I stick to your original setting of about...
