[Mod] Weather (Snow, Rain) [weather]

Introducing:
The weather mod (WIP)
At the moment it contains rain and snow. Snow will pile up if you uncomment a section in snow.lua where it says only for faster PCs.
It randomly starts and stops raining / snowing.
You can also manually control the precipitation using
Code: Select all
/setweather rain
/setweather snow
/setweather none
(requires weather privilege)

A little suggestion for snow:
Code: Select all
-- Snow cover
for i=1,8 do
local snow_box =
{
type = "fixed",
fixed = {-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, -0.5 + i/8., 0.5}
}
minetest.register_node("weather:snow_cover"..tostring(i), {
tiles = {"weather_snow_cover.png"},
drawtype = "nodebox",
paramtype = "light",
node_box = snow_box,
selection_box = snow_box,
groups = {not_in_creative_inventory = 1, crumbly = 3, attached_node = 1},
drop = {}
})
end
minetest.register_alias("weather:snow_cover","weather:snow_cover1")
--[[ Enable this section if you have a very fast PC]]
minetest.register_abm({
nodenames = {"group:crumbly", "group:snappy", "group:cracky", "group:choppy"},
neighbors = {"default:air"},
interval = 10.0,
chance = 80,
action = function (pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider)
if weather == "snow" then
if minetest.registered_nodes[node.name].drawtype == "normal"
or minetest.registered_nodes[node.name].drawtype == "allfaces_optional" then
local np = addvectors(pos, {x=0, y=1, z=0})
if minetest.env:get_node_light(np, 0.5) == 15 and minetest.env:get_node(np).name=="air" then
minetest.env:add_node(np, {name="weather:snow_cover1"})
end
end
local np = addvectors(pos, {x=0, y=1, z=0})
if minetest.env:get_node_light(np, 0.5) == 15 then
if node.name:find("weather:snow_cover")~=nil and node.name:sub(-1)~="8" then
minetest.env:set_node(pos,{name="weather:snow_cover"..tostring(1+tonumber(node.name:sub(-1)))})
else
if minetest.env:get_node(np).name=="air" then
minetest.env:add_node(np, {name="weather:snow_cover1"})
end
end
end
end
end
})
The snow stacks, with 8 layers per node.

Can I modify this for snow mod (GPL3/later)?

My code is WTFPL.

My code is LGPL, so yes, that's possible. But make sure you give credit to me and TeddyDesTodes.

Starting to pull my hair out over this i have changed the folder name many many times i have installed the sub directory still nothing. I really dont understand as i have installed 100's of mods before and the only 2 i have problems with is this and animals. Cant even see the difference these mods have to any others, doesnt matter if i use Adams builds either i get the same error. I know im over looking something simple but this is so frustrating

Your minetest is too old and does not have particle spawners.
EDIT: Ask PilzAdam to create a new build.

Ok thanks for the help i did notice but thought Adams build was up to date, anyway i will ask, if not wait for 0.4.6. Thanks again.

Yes sorry about that, however i am getting dummy image errors with pressure plates and some the mescon items. I have enable_texture_atlas = false but still have errors. Bare with me im am still a bit of a newbie with coding anyway here is the debug:

My mesecons mod too old?
This happens if the textures dont exist. Maybe redownload mesecons.

I re-downloaded mesecons but unfortunately still getting the same errors, could this have something to do with my OS? Edit: ok so now i have a really weird bug or something, i have noticed as soon as a install messecons to your build it changes the texture names. For example the mesecon torch on ground when intalled to the build is named JE2BEE~1. The weird part is im copy and pasting the mod and before installing its called jeija_torches_on. If i change the texture names it still doesnt recognize the item. I have no idea why this happens its got me stumped

I had an awesome idea
[18:40:55] <jordan4ibanez> the rain and snow mod
[18:40:58] <jordan4ibanez> that can be improved!
[18:41:10] <jordan4ibanez> air can be mapgen aliased to weather block
[18:41:30] <jordan4ibanez> weather block can be an abm, if there is a block above it, it becomes air
[18:41:50] <jordan4ibanez> if there is air above a weather block it becomes air
[18:42:04] <jordan4ibanez> it doesn't have to be an abm, but called on_block_update or something

Is it possible to make snow pile up from the particles instead of ABM's?

No, there are no callbacks for particles to Lua to make them fast.

How about attaching particlespawners to entities?
