I think you need the latest minetest_game if you get errors like that.

Any plans for Farming Redo? That's the one I'm currently trying out.

Forcefields are kind of meh, anyway. I just now looked at it in creative, and I'm wondering why anyone would want to use it. Anyway... http://i.imgur.com/pEDmQcl.jpg It's pretty straight-forward. You right-click it and give it a range (the above shows you a range of 5) and it creates a sphere of unb...

Well, there is the mg mod for a more realistic type of ore generation. I personally prefer the default ore gen (a nice even distribution), since realistic ore gen forces you to explore a lot more (unless someone does a proper prospector pick mod, of course).

The stops in 0.4.9 were due to get_node(p).name returning "ignore" erroneously at chunk boundaries. You still see lighting glitches from time to time at the chunk bounds, so I don't know that the issue won't continue to come up in some other use cases.

I didn't notice you had a farming mod. I'll have to look into that. Thanks.

I think the supply converter is kind of a work in progress (unless I read the above response wrong). The "demand" variable really should be read as minimum demand and each machine should also supply a maximum demand value. This way, you can have variable power devices (like for induction s...

Seems like I'm never content with the way your mods work, Adam. I rather like the way Minecraft does the portals, so I did a little of this (in make_portal()): if target.y < NETHER_DEPTH then target.y = (target.y - NETHER_DEPTH) + 1000 if math.abs(target.x) < 3000 then target.x = target.x * 10 end i...

Could you add in an option for check_in_beds to do majority rules, rather than all-or-nothing? That would be super, IMHO.

Well, I have a "fix" (fwiw): minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) for _,player in ipairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do if player:get_hp() > 0 or not minetest.setting_getbool("enable_damage") then local pos = player:getpos() pos.y = pos.y+0.5 local inv = player:get_...

I noticed the 0.4.10 standard game includes a variation of this mod. I'm wondering where all that radius code came from.

Oh, I tried all kinds of tubes. It got kind of crazy after a while. However, I found that the most efficient thing to do was to have the output tubes all spitting stuff into the open and then use a mese sand tube to clean it up. The cool thing about that is that any spillage (from when you transitio...

A while ago, I changed this in my own game to be a little nicer about placing plants.

Speaking of errors, I have a kind of hacky "fix" for a couple things. Well, it works for me, so I'm keeping it for now. --- supply_converter-old.lua 2014-07-20 22:52:12.000000000 -0600 +++ supply_converter.lua 2014-07-25 17:08:44.000000000 -0600 @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ local S = technic.getter l...

I've been trying to compact the standard automated grinder-furnace setup. I like to stagger the machines forward and back, but I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to do it.

Okay, I just updated my copy of Technic. Woo boy, they did a number on my old recipe list. Going to have rethink my whole approach to caving and tech climbing from now on. Interesting, though.

This was a fix to prevent from seeing through the walls. To be able to place nodes again "in you", grant yourself "noclip". Sorry, no it didn't fix that. If you're standing in just the right spot, you can still do the xray effect without any noclip. http://i.imgur.com/RkxsRs1.jpg

I don't know how I'm just noticing this, but you can't jump and place a block underneath you anymore. Why this is, I have no idea.

Still works for me, though I'm dropping this. It seems that there's just not enough interest in this, which is a shame. Feel free to fork it or whatever. It is open source and I honestly don't care what you do with it.

Nice. I still don't care for the drops, though. I usually do a little something like this with mobs: local handle_drops = function(self) if self.object:get_hp() <= 0 then local p = self.object:getpos() for _,drop in ipairs(self.drops) do if math.random(1, drop.chance) == 1 then local o = minetest.ad...

Okay, I think I found the source of that crazy problem. If you have the LuaJIT support, you could get nil pointers flying around all over the place. Going to have to be doubly careful to check those things in the future.

I just started testing this, and it really needs this fix: if toolname == "sword" then tdef.tool_capabilities.full_punch_interval = oredef.full_punch_interval tdef.tool_capabilities.damage_groups = oredef.damage_groups tdef.description = S("%s Sword"):format(S(description)) end i...

Interesting. All I can figure from that output is that you have crazy install that randomly trashes lua files.

The goals of any mod are really very esoteric, and depend highly on what you (the modder) want to achieve. For example, if your goal is to achieve a super-realistic simulation vs. something fun and challenging like a game, that would probably be best researched in a laboratory and investigated in pr...
