[Mod] Abjphabet [abjphabet]
Hello all,
This is my first mod ever that I plan to release and I'm only 2 days into modding. But now I know how to make textured nodes myself (Thanks rubenwardy and your website)
Now, what I am planning to make is a bunch of nodes that have the letters of the alphabet, numbers from 0 to 9, and various symbols used in messages written on them. As for what this is used for, this can be used to give your friends BIG TIME messages without using boring chat. Funny stuff like that :D. This is only scribbleware so not optimized for place names (though you can use them for that too but there are waaaaay better mods than my noobtest for that E|:-) )
Licence: WTFPL
Dependencies: None
Here's a screenshot of the current progress as of 6th April 2015
UPDATE!!! SAME DAY...........
UPDATE: 7th April 2015: Finished implementing numbers. Added updated download.
[/b]And here's the download[/b] with the alphabet nodes done, but no crafting recipes yet, as I can't think of good ones yet. PLEASE could anybody suggest some recipes? :))))
MAJOR UPDATE!!!!! [8th April 2015]: Total and complete code overhaul, thanks to 12Me21. Added a letter machine (Thanks to 12Me21). Letter blocks are no longer existant in the creative inventory. You have to create them using the letter machine, as demonstrated below.
Letter Machine: I haven't yet added a texture yet but it works
Put paper in machine: And type the letter/number that you want. Numbers only range from 0 to 9. NOTE: Symbols do not work yet as they have not been implemented yet.
Make block: Press the "Paper --> Letter" button and then take your block from the output.
NOTE: There is no inventory description for the crafted blocks, due to an unknown bug. I have checked the code, and although the code in THIS version was not written by me, and the meanings are beyond me, I can tell for sure that 12Me21 intended to put in invdescriptions.
And, again, thank you 12Me21 for the code :)))) you have helped a lot!
Feel free to give feature ideas especially as this is a WIP mod.
And as this is my first mod and first shot at modding ever, any constructive criticsm is welcome. (That means no "wut r tdos tings dey luk lik d**ks" or "Luuuuuk at da baby tryin to mod! noooooooob" type of posts :)

Re: [WIP][Mod]Abjphabet[abjphabet]
Maybe you ought to try a font that's a bit clearer and sticks more to lines than handwritten letters. A very simple font style might be best.
A list of my mods can be found here.

Re: [WIP][Mod]Abjphabet[abjphabet]
I'm guessing those textures are just temporary,

If I can figure out how to write with GIMP, yes they are temporary. :)

Re: [WIP][Mod]Abjphabet[abjphabet]
I would recommend using 16x16 textures, because that would fit in with the rest of the textures in the game.

Well done!
You've taken the first step to becoming a master modder. Don't be afraid to ask for help (in a non pestering way, and when you've tried to solve the problem yourself). The best resource in learning to mod is the community: looking at the existing mods, reading forum posts and asking.

And about the 16x16 thingy........
I don't think such a low resolution would look good with these letters, and that along with the fact that I don't know how to.

Re: [Mod] Abjphabet [abjphabet]
This is a great mod! I would like better for blocky letters and maybe colour option but adding colour would increase texture amount which add lag.
The immediate downside to mod if used on server is for unpleasant language and attacks.

-I was planning to add colors both to the letters and colors and also maybe glowing nodes in the future.
-That tho..............well I could always make this a precious minable......should I do so? (General Question)

Re: [Mod] Abjphabet [abjphabet]
I can make some 16x16 textures, and then there can be an option to either have the high-res textures or my 16x16 ones.ABJ wrote:-How do I decrease texture resolution?

Re: [WIP][Mod]Abjphabet[abjphabet]
Some other mods have used braille, but doesn't seem like a good idea, since you still need to look at a chart to see how to craft stuff.ABJ wrote:I haven't been able to think up of good recipes.
Maybe make a machine where you type in the letter/number/symbol that you want, and it makes it (though that is kind of complicated to do)

Re: [Mod] Abjphabet [abjphabet]
As far as receipes go: Why not stick to one craftable block which is empty and can be set to a text after it has been placed? The block could take further plain blocks out of the player's inventory and place them to the right of the current block according to what the player typed.
A list of my mods can be found here.

I also thought of that, but the coding for the machine was what destroyed me.

By the way, I have a question. When I copy-paste code and edit it to fit my needs, it works perfectly and displays the node. But when I write by hand the SAME code, it comes up with some ridiculous error. I tried using notepad++ but still this persists. From what I've so far discovered, ALL the spaces in the init.lua's seem to be special characters of their own, which I can't write. How do I solve this?

Re: [Mod] Abjphabet [abjphabet]
As for the Braille, I could have mod documentation on that, or, even better, actually make a "Braille guide" that could be stuck to walls like the signs and right clicked to view the craft charts. And/Or I could make a plugin for inventory plus mod that adds a Braille guide to the inventory.
But in the end, it all boils down to how much lua I know.
