[mod] kaeza's/VanessaE's signs library [signs_lib][git]

[amadin]

I mean text in signs does not fit in borders with my new textures and i don't know how to fix this. If you like you can add my textures in this mod.

[VanessaE]

It's better that you should fix your textures as needed. I won't be adding anything like that to this mod. If the textures don't fit, they're just too big. :-)

EDIT: amadin was talking about aligning and sizing the text entity itself, so that it fits better with his custom sign background textures.

[VanessaE]

Another update: Inspired by what amadin was asking about, I've added an API feature to let you change the entity's size on a per-node-type basis. Just add text_size = {x=foo, y=bar}, to your node definition. The defaults are x=0.8 and y=0.5.

I've started to document signs_lib's API. Most of what signs_lib does is hard-coded and not really publicly accessible (or at least, not really intended to be used by other mods), but a basic description of it can be found here: http://daconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/signs_usage_guide/signs-usage.html#api

Also a minor API change: in a node definition, defaultcolor is now default_color (to fit better with the other options, not that anyone uses it yet. :-) )

Is it possible for us to make a supplement mod for signs_lib, where when installed, could help to support certain non-ASCII characters??

This means that, the main signs_lib will only contain what it already contains now, but another mod could act as plugin and add support for those non-ASCII characters like ñ, ä, å, é, þ, ü, ú, í, ó, ö, ø, ð, ß, á, æ, µ, ç, ¿ (the examples I wrote are inside International English (US) keyboard) and others??? Is this thing possible??

Or it is already documented but I missed it??

The text of my signs is suddenly sideways:



I have signs placed on the front of a bunch of autocrafters, but the text seems to be facing at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to its sign. If I dig the sign and replace it the problem goes away, but only until I log out and back in again.

The problem only seems to affect signs that face east or west. Signs facing north or south are fine.

This initially happened after I installed the Storage Drawers mod, but it wasn't corrected after disabling the mod, so I think that was just a coincidence. The problem also affects the "icon" on the front of the drawers from this mod.

It seems likely that it's something I did. Could Drawers have made a change that persisted even after disabling the mod?

This is happening on a personal single player server. I have the following mods installed and enabled:

How do I troubleshoot this problem?

[shiva]

Same problem for me. My server : 0.4.16

[Fixer]

Is not this bug was fixed some time ago?

[shiva]

I do not know. I have the last version of this mod...

[VanessaE]

This project has been moved to Gitlab.

Update: I've added arrow symbols to the font. You can get them by writing a caret and 1 to 8 for narrow arrows, or caret plus "a" to "g" for wide ones. ^1 and ^a point up, ^2/^b point up and right, ^3/^c point right, and so on, going clockwise. Should work on all sign types, and colors work, too.

There's no escape char for ^, but used in any manner other than the above will print it (and whatever follows it) directly, so one isn't really needed.

This feature has been added to both fonts in my street signs mod, also.
