ideone is another online-ide that supports lua and many other programming-languages.
Also, you can program basic_robots in lua, while playing minetest.

tortman wrote:tree farms crop farming ect. those also are not included in technic mod.

You could also use basic_robots, and/or basic_machines.
See tree-harvester, and docu for mover.

a "robot" that would be fed an item and then wander about looking for another one of those items. Once found, it would grab it and go back to the place where it was created. There is the mod basic_robot, and you can program a robot to do something like that. Does it make sense in the game...

Details please - versions, errormessages, what did you do, exactly, what happens ?

Two new chapters added: I had another look at your book, and noticed * "Getting and Setting Privileges" - needs an explanation how to check if a player has an account * Detached inventory - where are they stored, is there a sizelimit ? Also: * How about geany , to recommand as editor / ID...

thminer wrote:I have another idea: Maybe it's the number of protector stones.
The lag is getting bigger, when I'm in areas with many of them.

Maybe the lag is caused by all the item-frames on all the shops,
and lots of protector stones are just in the same area, because
the shop-buildings are quite big.

admin - because _G is 'global-everything' for that game.

Maybe we should consider limiting the max account number somebody can have, else you can "reserve" 1000 accounts, which are never used by you How about rnd's mod oldplayer ? You can require that players get some items, in order for an account to become permanent. Otherwise, the account ge...

Combine this mod with towercrane ?

Just wield torches ?

JTE wrote:a system which simply requires an arbitrary amount of each material.

There is a mod easy-crafting-table - you put in some materials, it shows all items
that can be crafted from that, then you select & take out one of that.

PolySaken wrote:what was the purpose of the change of upgrade for the generator?

To be able to have more than 99 upgrades ?

redblade7 wrote: Protector .. steel bar to gold bar .. it's too easy for people to just dump them everywhere

how about allowing each player to only place a max. number of protector-blocks ?

details please - versions, how did you test, etc ?

For me the TurtleMiner is may be more like a toy to solve little problems that are "not natural". Puzzles are ok :) One idea is to move the Turtle to a place to give you a step to get up two blocks high. Then you can move the Turtle (via remote control) to the other side of the obstacel M...

custom logs and planks, and I'd like them to be usable for recipes using group:wood I have a similar problem, with a recipe for a table that uses "stairs:slab_wood", and I would like to use slabs of any type of wood for that. Do i need to change the recipe for that table, or the recipe/s ...

The currency-mod has a shop that can sell several items 'as a set'.

rubenwardy wrote:You could make that in Minetest, but it wouldn't look as good or be as responsive
(you'd need to wait for the server to reply for any dialogs or changes)

Bad usability would be bad for acceptance.

So, let's keep it simple.

Here an example how the visual editor in computercraft-edu works: I know that gif, it is from one of the first posts of this thread, and it shows that the visual editor uses a lot of different graphics, and in ways minetest doesn't support. Looks nice, but too much work. My whole point was that we ...

Do you mean like a sapling growing into a tree,
or like corn that looks like it is occupying a 2nd node above the actual plant ?

basic houses this mod places on flat land Each house comes with a door, lamps above the door, windows, floors, a steel ladder and a solid roof I sugggest to add a chat-command like '/build_basic_house' that tries to build such a house at the players location.

use a mod called privilage areas in combination with command blocks and teleport to and off this area. But how in detail would i set this up and what to put in the command block?

Enrikoo wrote:And for Client-Side Mods? Its modding too.

Well, there are a lot of small, simple csm-mods - such as chatbell.
Get some, look what they do, and how.

Then think of something simple, and make a new mod for that.
That's the way to learn...

Also, see basic_robot_csm (link in sig).
