I want to test a terrain generator , for example mapgenv7
I want to first of all that the world created is always the same, to do this, it is enough, when I create a world, give it a name, and select a fixed seed, such as the 1 seed.
Now the problem, I want, from file minetest. conf, the generator reads some parameters such as:
# mgv7_np_terrain = 10, 12, (350, 350, 350), 82 341, 5, 0.6
# mgv7_np_bgroup = 0.5, 0.3125, (350, 350, 350), 5923, 2, 0.6
# mgv7_np_heat = 25, 50, (500, 500, 500), 35293, 1, 0
# mgv7_np_humidity = 50, 31.25, (750, 750, 750), 12094, 2, 0.6

to do this then I compile my minetest.conf that I show it as it is:

main_menu_tab = server
name = pandaro
server_dedicated = false
fixed_map_seed = 1
main_menu_last_game_idx = 4
mainmenu_last_selected_world = 2
selected_world_path = /home/p/minetest/0.49.1/bin/../worlds/sdcs
enable_shaders = false
enable_damage = false
port = 30000
server_announce = true
address = 192.168.0.2
remote_port = 30000
creative_mode = true
num_emerge_threads = 2
mg_name = v7
mgv7_np_terrain = 0, 1, (1, 1 1), 1, 1, 1
mgv7_np_bgroup = 0, 1, (1, 1, 1), 1, 1, 1
mgv7_np_heat = 0, 1, (1, 1, 1), 1, 1, 1
mgv7_np_humidity = 0, 1, (1, 1, 1), 1, 1, 1

but I realize that in spite of the parameter fixed_map_seed = 1 the map is different each time.

it seems to me that having or not having completed minetest.conf the generator of the terrain refers only on what I write in the main menu.

How do I create a map by passing minetest.conf?

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_dignode(function(pos, oldnode, digger)
        if pos["x"] < safeZoneCenter["x"]+limit and pos["x"] > safeZoneCenter["x"]-limit and pos["z"] < safeZoneCenter["z"]+limit and pos["z"] > safeZoneCenter["z"]-limit then -- If a node has been dug within spawn as defined with limit
                if not minetest.get_player_privs(digger:get_player_name())["safezonebuild"] then -- If the player does not have the spawnbuild privilege
                        minetest.chat_send_player(digger:get_player_name(), "You are attempting to dig inside the safe zone, please move out of the safe zone") -- Inform player that he/she cannot dig inside spawn
                        minetest.set_node(pos, oldnode)
                        digger:get_inventory():remove_item("main", oldnode)
                end
        end
end)

It works fine, but the code to stop players from placing nodes does not. I remove the node, inform the player that he cannot build near spawn and then try to add the node back to his/her inventory. For some reason though, the item isn't being added into the inventory.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer, oldnode, itemstack, pointed_thing)
        if pos["x"] < safeZoneCenter["x"]+limit and pos["x"] > safeZoneCenter["x"]-limit and pos["z"] < safeZoneCenter["z"]+limit and pos["z"] > safeZoneCenter["z"]-limit then -- If a node has been placed within spawn as defined with limit
                if not minetest.get_player_privs(placer:get_player_name())["safezonebuild"] then -- If the player does not have the spawnbuild privilege
                        minetest.chat_send_player(placer:get_player_name(), "You are attempting to build inside the safe zone, please move out of the safe zone") -- Inform player that he/she cannot build inside spawn
                        minetest.set_node(pos, oldnode)
                        placer:get_inventory():add_item("main", newnode.name)
                end
        end
end)

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm new to Lua and Minetest modding so I apologize if this question is a bit noobish.

pandaro wrote:about sneak and sneak_glitch
What changed exactly sneak and sneak_glitch in player:set_physics_override ()

I realized that if I sneak == true then the player does not come down from the block if I hold down shift.
if you sneak == false then the player goes down from the block even if I keep holding shift.
I do not understand what happens if sneak_glitch is changed from true to false.
It seems to me always the same

Krock wrote:I'm not sure but
on_rightclick itemstack should be the stack, which the player used to click right onto the node.
What exactly do you want to do?

Krock wrote:@philipbenr, post abrove:

How about defining the gloves, instead of the diffrent nodes?

like: on_use, on_place (not sure, but you can loop up the documentation)

on_use = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing   <-- Here?  )
--Or Somewhere down here?

on_use = function(itemstack, placer, audio:player_black  )

on_use = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
pointed_thing="audio:player_black"

philipbenr wrote:Also, how can I define the pointed thing as one specific node?

Code: Select all

on_use = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing   <-- Here?  )

minetest.register_tool("audio:gloves", {
        description = "xyz",
        inventory_image = "xyz.png",
        on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
                if pointed_thing.type ~="node" then
                        return
                end
                local node = minetest.get_node(pointed_thing.under)
                --node equals the node you pointed to when using the "gloves"

damage_per_second = amount_of_damage,

I have multiple versions of the same block (different colors) and several of those blocks. what I have is this:
