Columnia add some simple pillarstructurenodes to minetest.

The code is a fork from the mod " stairs" witch is a part of the minetestgame.
So you can very easy add new nodes into this mod, like you do in "stairs" - at the end of the init.lua
Example:
Spoiler

Code: Select all

columnia.register_column_ia("rusty_block", "columnia:rusty_block",
		{cracky=3},
		{"columnia_rusty_block.png"},
		"Rusty Column",
		"Rusty Column Top",
		"Rusty Column Bottom",
		"Rusty Column Crosslink",
		"Rusty Column Link",
		"Rusty Column Linkdown",
		default.node_sound_stone_defaults())
.
Crafting:
For better compatibility with other mods, i have create the Item "Column Blueprint", witch is part for all columnia crafts.
This Item replaces it self by cafting, so you need only one blueprint for all pillar you want build. Ist only a crafting placeholder so that no recipes from other mods will be harmed.
If the recipe of the blueprint has a conflict with one of youre recipes, you can find the craftinrecipe on the top of the init.lua and feel free to chance it.
Here are the recipes:

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
LGPL is a bit restrictive, but it'll do. I'll get this into castles ASAP. I have a draft thread for castles ++, and I already have the github ready to go.

Also a hint, modify the output recipe for the blueprint to output two of them instead of just one.

@Topywo
Thank you ;)
@philipbenr
I just keep the old licenses from "stairs" because is a fork of it.
i'm glad that you can use this mod for your modpack. :)
Why you want 2 blueprints? you just need one.. it replace itself until crafting .. its like a indestructible tool. its still in the craftingmenue until you crafting stacks of pillars with this single one blueprint.

EDIT: I thought I read something about the recipes being buggy, but that must of been on a different topic.

This is quite a nice mod. I have installed it on my copy of Minetest. You are very welcome, Glunggi.

Indeed, very nice mod. If only it could work with a node similar to a circular saw from moreblocks... perhaps make a blueprint table instead of a blueprint that just lets you place the requisite blocks inside and withdraw the suitable column?

Now to get my friend to put this on his server when it goes back up...

I added the pillar blocks ( pulled from the castle mod and are identical to this mod I believe) about a week ago to my circular saw on my server so you can make the pillars with most all blocks.

On another note, those are some great nodeboxes. great work :)

@Vazon
Yes this mod is for people who lost they fingers at the circularsaw ;)
No .. i write this mod for my game witch have no moreblocks and circularsaw, after i was finsh with it , i thought maybe some ppl have a need for this little mod , even though they are mods like Castle or Chainsaw.
I know the most people use circularsaw.. but maybe not everybody :D
@HeroOfTheWinds
Nice Idea .. but i think i can^t master this. i'm not really a coder. To fork the stairapi was an easy job. New nodes, a few expansions and chances.
A formspec like circularsaw its a level higher... at the moment one level too high for me ;)
I have try a lot of times to handle with formspec..but im failed hard.

This is an awesome mod. Considering that the best part of Minetest is building stuff, this really opens up the game to creating some beautiful architectures. I'm amazed there aren't more nice shaped construction blocks mods like this. This should definitely be added to the core Minetest game.

Thank you all - i dont assume with so mutch positiv feedbacks. :D
That motivate me to do more.
@Neuromancer
The penalty is , too mutch of this stuff kill youre fps. This was also a reason why i designed this pillars very simple.
The other reason was the compatibility with textures.
There could be more elements.. like a cross for the links etc. But i think for more elements i need really a tool like Circularsaw.. because all those recipes spams and confusing the craftingguide.
