Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]

Making things other than nodes emit light is not possible due to limitations in the minetest engine. Walking_light and consorts place an invisible lightemitting node to hack around this limitation.
I wish it were possible, too.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]

Hm, from a quick look at the code, it appears that villagers are purely objects. They have no global ID or similar contraptions. Thus, advtrains can't keep track of them when they're unloaded.

It would be complicated, if not impossible, to make them ride trains.

Re: How do I set item's "tool_capabilities" from item meta?

From what I know, the item meta string expects a string in the JSON format. You can generate this by using

Code: Select all

local meta = itemstack:get_meta()
meta:set_string("tool_capabilities", minetest.json_encode({
        full_punch_interval=1.0
}))
I'm not sure, however.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]

speed 3 is the threshold. Speed <=3: no damage, Speed >3: death.
Regarding the trams, I might implement a system for "driving on sight" that utilizes the LZB system to slow down trams when people are on the tracks.

Re: [Mod] Advanced Trains [advtrains] [2.0.1 TSS]

Uh, it looks like both saves are out of sync again. There`s an ID in the ndb binary data which doesn`t correspond to a node name (saved in main save file)
Hm, you could just check for nil there and skip the iteration if "ndbnode" is nil.

When restoring the NDB backup, it is really important that you restore both the "advtrains" and "advtrains_ndb" file from the same backup, because the node-id mappings are stored in the main save file. And the file corruption protection is insufficient, but I don't know how to do...

They do that in the latest Git state in MT 5.0.0. Perhaps I haven't made a Content DB release yet.
