-How do I decrease texture resolution?

I can make some 16x16 textures, and then there can be an option to either have the high-res textures or my 16x16 ones.

Very much thank you if you will :)))))))))))) P.S. Do you mean like two downloads?

Yes, there would be a high-res and 16x16 download, plus texture packs for people who play on servers that have the mod. (if the server used the 16x16 version, but you wanted the high-res version, you could use a texture pack)

Maybe you should ad some special character`s. (like ←→↓↑!¡?¿Ω߀&"\ / ...)

Maybe you should ad some special character`s. (like ←→↓↑!¡?¿Ω߀&"\ / ...)

I think it only needs common symbols like punctuation and arrows.

[12Me21]

I made a much more efficient version of the code, now you can more easily add or remove blocks:

Code: Select all

local characters = {"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0"}


for _, name in ipairs(characters) do --do this for all characters in the list
	if tonumber(name) ~= nil then --if it's a number
		local desc = "Number "..name 
	else --if it's a letter
		local desc = "Letter "..string.upper(name) --make the letter uppercase in the description
	end

	minetest.register_node("abjphabet:"..name, {
		description = desc,
		tiles = {"abjphabet_"..name..".png"},
		groups = {cracky=3}
	})
end

[12Me21]

I'lm almost done making a machine that will craft them!

Code: Select all

local characters = {"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0"}


for _, name in ipairs(characters) do --do this for all characters in the list
	if tonumber(name) ~= nil then --if it's a number
		local desc = "Number "..name 
	else --if it's a letter
		local desc = "Letter "..string.upper(name) --make the letter uppercase in the description
	end

	minetest.register_node("abjphabet:"..name, {
		description = desc,
		tiles = {"abjphabet_"..name..".png"},
		groups = {cracky=3}
	})
end

minetest.register_node("abjphabet:machine", {
	description = "Letter Machine",
	tiles = {"abjphabet_machine.png"},
	paramtype = "light",
	groups = {cracky=2},
	
	after_place_node = function(pos, placer)
		local meta = minetest.env:get_meta(pos)
	end,

	on_construct = function(pos)
		local meta = minetest.env:get_meta(pos)
		meta:set_string("formspec", "invsize[10,11;]"..
			"field[0,0;2,1;lettername;Letter;]"..

			"button[7,8;6,4;name;label]")--6 4 5 4
			local inv = meta:get_inventory()
		inv:set_size("input", 1)
		inv:set_size("output", 1)
	end,

	on_receive_fields = function(pos, formname, fields, sender)
		local meta = minetest.env:get_meta(pos)
		local inv = meta:get_inventory()
		local inputstack = inv:get_stack("input", 1)
		if fields.lettername ~= nil and inputstack:get_name()=="default:paper" then
			local give = {}
			give[1]=inv:add_item("output","abjphabet:"..fields.lettername)
			inputstack:take_item()
			inv:set_stack("input",1,inputstack)
		end   
	end
})

--Craft

type the letter/number you want into the text box, put a piece of paper in the top item slot, then press enter and go back in and the paper will be crafted into the letter you typed! (currently It doesn't check the input so it'll probably give an error or unknown node if you type something else.)

ok, I finished the code for the letter making machine, I don't have textures or a crafting yet, but other than that, it works perfectly!

	else --if it's a letter
		local desc = "Letter "..string.upper(name) --make the letter uppercase in the description
	end

	minetest.register_node("abjphabet:"..name, {

You are suppose to be working on mydecks 12Me21 :P
I am really liking this mod. I am thinking of big signs. I might make signs for Minetest Ville with this. Big billboard signs.

I am glad you are helping ABJ. Wasn't too long ago I was ABJ. I was trying to figure out everything. It is not so easy when you first start. With the right help it gets easier. If there is anything I can do to help I will.

[ABJ]

The minetest community usually uses tabs for indentation, but that doesn't actually matter.

You mean that's how they put those magical spaces?

And BTW I'm gonna check out MyDecks to see what it is :)

Talking about crafting, 100% poll tells me to make craft recipes. So, well, I need to make an ore for this, to craft the blocks etc and the machine and to put in to the machine to make letters. numbers, symbols, etc so there will not be so much dependence..
I'm thinking of a name for the ore.
Abcium (:D)(Pronounced A B Cium)
If the name isn't good (*funny lol) enough for you, feel free to suggest another name.

I think you should just need to put the raw ore, so it isn't too hard to make.

Thats what I was thinking to do :)

BTW 12Me21 your code is making my head explode :D I've really gotta learn to code

[ABJ]

BTWA is it possible to use the != sign instead of that thing which I can't find the key for? Or is lua really that different from Python?

[12Me21]

No, I think you have to do ~=.

the "~" symbol is usually right below the escape key, if your keyboard doesn't have it, you can hold the ALT key, then type "95" on the number pad, then release the alt key. (unless you don't have a number pad)

Anyway, I'm still working on some 16x16 textures, and I noticed that the default textures have some problems; for example, some have a few pixels of black in the space around the letters, and some letters aren't centered.

Yeah, just replace the current text with this one.

It's called a tilde. ~
For me it's near the enter key / back space key - if my 'muscle memory' serves me right.

This is the key you seem to be mentioning \| no tilde for me!
There used to be a tilde there but it's no longer typable
I got it by doing Shift+`. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
