[Mod] Stained Glass [1.2] [stained_glass] - new alpha suppor

[sfan5]

Stained Glass....
Awesome!

[VanessaE]

Sketch: You should check the latest changes to Unified Dyes. It's been rewritten to base itself around the default dye mod, so some of your recipes may need to be changed.

Thanks Vanessa

[VanessaE]

No prob. If someone wants to fiddle with it a bit and send me a pull request with the recipes that needed corrected due to those tweaks I made to Unified Dyes, I'd appreciate it (Sketch too, I'm sure).

They aren't partially transparent, they are just a colored outline and the rest is completely transparent

Use the latest Git/development version, not 0.4.6.

It still won't work

I'll help you. Simple script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo ""
echo "    *****************************"
echo "    * Minetest GitHub Installer *"
echo "    *****************************"
echo ""

sleep 2s

wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
cd minetest-minetest-*
cd games/
wget https://github.com/minetest/common/tarball/master -O common.tar.gz
tar xf common.tar.gz
mv minetest-common-* common
cd ..
cd games/
wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/tarball/master -O minetest_game.tar.gz
tar xf minetest_game.tar.gz
mv minetest-minetest_game-* minetest_game
cd ..
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
make -j2
sudo make install

[12Me21]

I use windows

[PilzAdam]

I use windows

Use my win builds then.

[Zeg9]

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
make -j2
sudo make install

RUN_IN_PLACE and make install are usually bad when you use them together...

[Ragnarok]

@Zeg9
Why?
In my script i make package this way:

Code: Select all

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=0
make -j2
sudo checkinstall -D

so I exchanged the last line to

Code: Select all

sudo make install

It should work, isn't it? Sorry for off-topic.

[rubenwardy]

Pretty. Nice mod.

[12Me21]

I got it to work, and it looks really cool, but maybe it would be better without such dark edges.

I had no idea why link was down because it wasn't 404'ing for me.
Browser kept loading my page from the cache so all looked well from here.

Anyway, I got a response from GitHub as to why the link was down:

Code: Select all

 Hey Eli

Sorry for the trouble. Your account was mistakenly flagged as spammy by our spam-sniffing robots. I've cleared the flag, so your profile page should be available again. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers

Good stuff. Glad it's up again.
Posting this to hopefully help out others in case it accidentally happens to them too.

Since the stained glass blocks of this mod glow, I thought it would be neat if they could interact with mesecons via a soft dependency.

Since the stained glass blocks of this mod glow, I thought it would be neat if they could interact with mesecons via a soft dependency.

I suppose it's possible. I've been busy painting some large-format art pieces to sell at the local art-guild, so I haven't had a chance to do much in the way of Minetest coding.

By "soft dependency" I assume you mean that if Mesecons are installed and switched on, then the stained glass blocks will glow. That does sound like a cool idea. It'd be much more interactive that way.

Gimme a couple days to tidy this pic up then I'll look into it.

[VanessaE]

Beautiful picture, and glad to see you're still around. I was beginning to wonder.

As long as suggestions are being made, please make sure we can disable the mesecons compatibility without uninstalling that mod (e.g. a config option in a file in the world's folder). People on my server use the stained glass as a light source but in ways that would make it difficult to use mesecons with.

Also, I'd like to reiterate my idea that some kind of machine (in the same vein as moreblocks circular saw) be used to create the colored glass, so as to reduce the clutter in the creative inventory. Something that displays a palette in standard Unified Dyes order (with your extra shades above it) and which requires you to have the materials on hand so that it can sort of "auto-craft" the glass (assuming you're not in creative mode that is, otherwise don't care if the user has the materials or not).

MaxCZ: huh?

Maybe the new connected textures feature would be intresting for this mod as well. It is implemented in the connected_textures mod. To make it work, the drawtype would have to be changed and a new tile texture added for each node.
[Edit]If someone doesn't know: The colormachine talked about in this thread exists now and supports this mod full.
