[5.6.1] mod signs_lib "hidden text" issue

[Zweihorn]

This regards the signs_lib fork by TenPlus1.

Unfortunately, written text appears to remain hidden by MT 5.6.1 either on old signs (migrated from MT 5.5.0 world) as on new ones (created within the MT 5.6.1 world). Please investigate and correct.

However, I am very pleased to find the overwhelming majority of your mods (last not least ethereal) to work flawlessly in MT 5.6.1 again. Let be known that I highly appreciate your able and stable work.

Please find an example picture to a.m. issue in the attach. The word "TEST" shows to the left in white text (as is appropriate with objects pointed to by the MT client) but the sign object itself does not show the text "TEST" which should be displayed as black text.

This mod has been deprecated a long time ago, you would be better using VanessaE's official signs_lib mod:

I'd like to forward this message by TenPlus1 (who was quick in responding as always):

This mod isn't meant to be used by anyone other than Xanadu server, you would be better using the official signs_lib mod by VanessaE: https://content.minetest.net/packages/V ... signs_lib/

However, I used the a.m. forked mod on my MT 5.4 & MT 5.5 server and MT clients nicely in the past. Time for a change and back to the roots of the code apparently.

P.S.
I was forwarding the email and was not aware of the almost same post in the forum.

The fork I had on my notabug was seriously out of date which is why we switched to the official VanessaE mod a while ago on server, that is why I deleted it from my git page.

I downloaded the original i.e. official VanessaE mod and uploaded it to my MT 5.6.1 server. Works like a charm and all the old text is viewable in the world (which was migrated from MT 5.5.0) again.

The fork I had on my notabug was seriously out of date which is why we switched to the official VanessaE mod a while ago on server, that is why I deleted it from my git page.

Anyway. Thanks alot. No harm done and I am happy to receive this clarification.

BTW
One finds the kaeza's/VanessaE's signs library forum topic as viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13762

@Zweihorn - Glad to hear things at up and working for you now :) VanessaE has an add-on mod called Basic Signs if you wish to add a little colour into your signs too:
