[Mod] Particles Mod [0.3.1] [particles]

[sfan5]

where's the dl link? for 0.2?

0.2 is currently developed

[Jordach]

I wanna try that!

[sfan5]

I wanna try that!

Go online on IRC in #minetest or #minetest-delta

[Jordach]

Ok, be there in a min!

[Jordach]

Been testing this with Sfan5 and its freaking awesome!

[Jeija]

Code: Select all

WATERPARTICLES = {
    physical = true,
    collisionbox = {0,0,0,0,0,0},
    visual = "sprite",
    visual_size = {x=0.2, y=0.2},
    textures = {"default_water.png"},
    on_activate = function (self)
        self.object:setvelocity({x=math.random(-1,1)*0.5, y=math.random(-1,1)*0.5, z=math.random(-1,1)*0.5})
    end,
    on_step = function(self, dtime)
        self.timer = self.timer + dtime
        if self.timer > 20 then
            self.object:remove()
        end
        if minetest.env:get_node(self.object:getpos()).name ~= "default:water_source" then
            self.object:remove()
        end
    end,
    timer = 0,
}

minetest.register_entity("particles:water", WATERPARTICLES)

minetest.register_abm({
    nodenames = {"default:water_source"},--, "default:water_flowing"},
    interval = 10,
    chance = 1,
    action = function(pos)
        if math.random(1000) == 1 then
            minetest.env:add_entity({x=pos.x+math.random()*0.5,y=pos.y-0.25,z=pos.z+math.random()*0.5}, "particles:water")
        end
    end,
})

This code adds floating particles in water. What about adding this to V 0.2 of this mod? (Maybe with another texture for the particles)

I'll maybe add this

Congrats to your 600th post! ^^

[sfan5]

Congrats to your 600th post! ^^

Yay ^^:D

[Jordach]

Congrats, you still playing?

[Melkor]

is possible to make rain or snow with this?

[Jordach]

yes

[jordan4ibanez]

need to do it in C++ like that other guy did with weather, then we can have high performance particles

[Jeija]

I guess the fact that it is lua instead of c++ isn't the main problem. The most important thing is that particles cannot be controlled by a server - It must be client-side only. So for now, it's good to have this mod, but don't put too much work into it, so if someone makes this in c++ it was not totally for nothing.

yes, that's right, all we need now is some form of way to see if someone is digging.

Update!!
Changelog:

• Colored Digging Particles

Download in the first Post!

[Utilisatrice]

Thank's Sfan5 !

You're amazing.

[Death Dealer]

little bubbles in front of your face while under water would be neat:D or maybe when you first jump in

Hey, i'm new in Minetest, and this mod didn't work. I create mods folder in data folder, and move particle folder into mods folder, and i haven't got a particle effects. I only use a Minecraft Texture Pack. What's wrong?

what version are you using? and the mod folder doesnt need to be made its in the root directory somewhere.

[bingo009]

I download minetest from this page(latest stable version, windows 7):
http://c55.me/minetest/download.php

This is my folders structure:
bin data doc world

mods(i place mods folders here)

[Death Dealer]

Get this one

[sfan5]

Update!
Changelog:

• Big Performance Improvement (make one on_dignode callback instead of ~30 of them)
• Digging Particles support for Mesecons

Download in first Post

BTW for Modders: If you want Digging Particle Support for your Mod make a List with all Block and their Color
Example:

Code: Select all

--== Modname ==--
{"modname:my_block1", "gray"},
{"modname:my_block2", "sandcolor"},

Available Colors: (List may be outdated)

• black
• brown
• gray
• green
• lightgray
• red
• sandcolor
• white
• yellow

If you need extra Colors make a Texture for them called p_mycolor.png in the texture Folder.
Send me the List and extra Colors (if there are any) and i'll include it

Nice!

Just had a random though looking at the code: would it be possible to have Particles Mod react to a node that belongs to a specific group? If so, define a custom group namespace in your mod and mod Devs would add that to their own mod code: instant integration without dependency.

Again, random thought not based on any actual working code reality.

[Jordach]

This is fucking handy Sfan!
