Nice! Maybe you could make it so that if you touch a question block it drops the item (once) on the ground above the block.

Great idea but the chest one is good too, i have that idea too , i think than i can do item to add abilities to who haves it,
a example the fire flower (from SMB) will can make than who haves it when touches something it will burns inmediatly

[WhoAreYou]

Screenshots, please. ;)

[MineYoshi]

Screenshots, please. ;)

Well here is one:

excuse me if it's night and you can't see only aument the shining of your screen

[MineYoshi]

I have an idea how about a animated and a 1 item chest question block?

[MineYoshi]

I updated to 0.2
a list of new features:
-SMB Mushroom (it recover 20 hearts)
-SMB Fire Flower (it burns everthing that touch, i based code in fake_fire mod)
-Question Block now is a chest with one item.

hey i am making the tanooki suit but i need to know if you want than the tanooki has time or than in 30 seconds will dissapear the effect

[Don]

Will you change gravity when wearing the suit or grant fly priv? If so then you should make it loose power after so much time.

OldCoder Openmine now includes MineYoshi's RetroBlocks mod and Argos's Wrench mod:

MineYoshi RetroBlocks: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13118

Argos Wrench: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11162

These mods will be added to other worlds. As a technical note, for the Sonic block shown below to work with the wrench, I needed to make the following patch:

Code: Select all

retroblocks/init.lua:
- legacy_facedir_simple = true,
+ paramtype2 = "facedir",

Cross-posted to the Openmine thread and to the RetroBlocks thread.

Code: Select all

World:   OldCoder Openmine
Name:    RetroBlocks example
Builder: OldCoder
Coords:  409.8, 23.5, 1285.4

Well i grant fly priv and i think to lose power after 300 or 600 seconds i think 600 ,because sucks lose the power so fast and i don't grant fly priv for ever because the game crashes , the gravity idea was good but i did the raccoon not the tannooki because i have problems with the meshes(i try to fix it but i can't).

Thanks for the help i have problems with that sonic block and that code helps so much, i going to add the raccoon but i see than in your server there is fly.
P.S i will visit the server!

[OldCoder]

MineYoshi:

1. Regarding fly, I have other worlds that omit fly and will use the blocks there too.

2. If you and others work further on RetroBlocks, I might try to set up a RetroWorld. Or maybe I'll add a RetroBiome to the Ethereal mapgen mod instead.

I'm imagining something similar to the following, but this is just a rough example.

Ideally, some of the characters would be mobs and not blocks. Due to trademark issues, they might also need to be renamed. Perhaps the hedgehog could be called Phonic.

Cool, but i think the character blocks only for fun or to decorate, and i can do mobs as characters, only that mobs should be peaceful by example make a yoshi and you can ride the yoshi, and well i am the only who works in this project and become hard to make a big mod by miself BUT is posible, everobody can .
And well about the trademark issues, yes the characters will be renamed but with a logical and similar name,
example: Mario=Merio i don't going to do this sonic=cinos only because is sonic backwards!.

It becomes hard to do this alone, but i don't know who can help me to do this.
And well in the mapgen you can do this how you said retro biome can make sonic levels naturally or smb castles in different parts of the world

[MineYoshi]

i think to make some mobs in 2d and others in 3d i make 3d mobs only if is too necesary

[Don]

If there is anything I can do to help send me a pm. I can't do mapgen but I can do lots of other things.

[OldCoder]

2D mobs will resemble the original characters better. However, if you're curious, here's a sample 3D Cinos NPC:

[MineYoshi]

Don that's useful i don't have any who can help me, i will send you a MP.

OldCoder that's a good idea i will try to make the caracters

[MineYoshi]

Updated to 0.3
Added:
-SMB3 Raccoon Leaf
Zip:http://www.mediafire.com/download/4zl81 ... ks+0.3.zip
I a little add but the 0.4 will add many great stuff
New dependency:playereffect
because the raccoon leaf

[OldCoder]

MineYoshi, some suggestions:

1. Don't use MediaFire or similar sites. These sites don't work with some browsers. Additionally, many such sites trick users into downloading commercial programs. Links also tend to break in some cases.

2. Instead, use GitHub, Dropbox, or other hosts that are designed for projects like this.

3. Don't use spaces in filenames or directory names. Use underscores instead of spaces. So, for example, use "retroblocks_0.3" instead of "retroblocks 0.3".

[MineYoshi]

ok but i don't have dropbox account,but well i will update the links, and i will fix the names,ok

[OldCoder]

MineYoshi, I see that you have a GitHub account. Technical note: MineYosh as opposed to MineYoshi there.

It looks like you created a RetroBlocks GitHub repo as an experiment and put it aside. If you update the code, GitHub will automatically provide you with a download ZIP file. The ZIP-file link will be:

https://github.com/MineYosh/Retroblocks ... master.zip

You're free to use minetest.org and hosting sites as well.

One advantage of GitHub is that the site makes it easier for other people to contribute code. However, if GitHub seems complicated, there is no rush. Find what works best for you.

I ussed the nickname MineYosh because MineYoshi wasn't avaible ,but technically it's MineYoshi.
The only problem is than i don't know how to upload the textures with the code isn't any problem.
i think in use DropBox

[MineYoshi]

now the mod is in dropbox
link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yconnd80qy5oc ... 3.zip?dl=0

[OldCoder]

MineYoshi, now you have three potential distribution channels, GitHub, minetest.org, and Dropbox.

RetroBlocks will be everywhere :P

We'll help you figure out GitHub later if you like. Note that this site will allow others to work with you more easily on the code.

MineYoshi: You PM'd me to ask for the sample 3D Cinos mob. Here's the ZIP file. Note: The "Mobs Redo" mod is also required:

This is just a simple demo. However, Cinos does function correctly. Note: The theme song is a little too long. I'll probably shorten it.

I can also provide sample 2D mobs at a later date.

These mods are not compatible with the older "mobs" mod. If that one is installed, you'll need to remove it. Note: Most mobs mods are switching to this newer version.
