Optically move wielded item

[Linuxdirk]

Currently I'm developing a mod that (among others) defines a nodebox that is waaay off-center the actual node and thus the image in the inventory is visually nearly not present (only a few pixels are shown) and when wielding the item it is the same.

So I wonder if there is a way to visually move the wielded item without inventory_image and wield_image set (not applicable because there might be hundreds of nodes like this having textures basing entirely on the user's texture packs and enabled mods).

Any ideas?

Engine change.

EDIT: or do a mod that sets wield item to blank.png

wield_scale = {your position here}
obviously needs to be done by trial and error, but you'll get it eventually.

wield_scale = {your position here}

This seems to have no effect in 0.4.16, is it a dev version feature?

Basing on the name it just scales (stretches?) the wielditem and does not move it (or the section of the nodebox used as inventory image) to another location as described.

i am using the latest 0.4.16 ver from the site, and it works just fine.
i don't remember how, but i used it in an old mod to make a pistol appear in the middle of the screen.

Maybe my initial description was not the best but it’s not about moving the generated wieldimage around. It’s about moving the “camera angle” that is USED to generate the wielditem.

But there seems to be no way.
