param2 and paramtype2 question

[KCoombes]

are these for 0.4.17+? I tried to use them using 0.4.16 but did not notice any difference in the visual display of the 'plantlike' drawtype.

Is what for 0.4.17+?

[KCoombes]

drawtype = "plantlike",
param2 = 3,
paramtype2 = "meshoptions",


no change in appearance of node using these parameters

drawtype = "plantlike",
param2 = 3,
paramtype2 = "meshoptions",

it doesn't work like that. the nodedef table API does not know about `param2`.

You can use `place_param2 = N` so that user-placed nodes get a default param2 value. Or you can modify the mod code such that `minetest.set_node(pos, {name = "nodename", param2 = N})` ...

Check out `crops` for instance:

Ok, so https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... i.txt#L947 is incorrect - gotcha.

It's not incorrect, it just doesn't say where to put param2. That's said above: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... i.txt#L899
