code wont work!

[Stix]

when i install the mod: better_bread it doesnt show up in-game, why? here is the code:

Code: Select all

--registers doublebaked_bread

minetest.register_craftitem("better_bread:doublebaked_bread", {
descrition = "doublebaked_bread",
inventory_image = "doublebaked.png",
on_use = minetest.item_eat(10)
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "cooking",
output = "better_bread:doublebaked_bread"
recipie = "farming:bread",
})
--registers bread block

minetest.register_node("better_bread:bread_block", {
description = "bread block",
tiles = {"breadblock.png"},
groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3},
on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing),
hp_change = 20
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "shapeless",
output = "better_bread:bread_block",
recipie = {"farming:bread", "farming:bread", "farming:bread"}
})

I haven't tested the code, but I think that the issue might be a typo: "recipie" instead of "recipe".

i feel dum as its my code

[Stix]

would you like to see the updated code?
ive updated it alot before you pointed that error out.

don't feel dumb, it's just the process of learning

[maikerumine]

Welcome to coding!

We ALL feel dumb when we code, it is the process of learning as Tumeninodes said. Think of it as falling while learning how to snowboard the first time.

I have been "coding" <--more like copy paste and editing for over a year and STILL feel like poop when I cannot figure out something. My excuse is that I am not a coder! HA! then my poopyness goes away. :)

After a while experimenting with minetest codes you will get the hang of how the basic things work, keep on working at it, take a copy of existing code and edit it, repeat this a few hundred times and it becomes like memory.

Then when trouble shooting errors, always read the error message, see which line the error was on and in what mod, without closing the window, go peek at the code and try to figure where the comma was missing or the spelling was wrong, edit, save, reload, repeat. :)

At least that is how I figure it out, it works for me.

Hope that helps, and keep on coding!

I suggest you give a try to Atom editor with luacheck integration.

To install Atom editor, just download and install the .deb package from the offical website.

To install luacheck and the luacheck module for Atom, execute those four commands in a terminal :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install luarocks

sudo luarocks install luacheck

apm install linter

apm install linter-luacheck

No terminal wizardry needed after that ;)

----

To use it, you'll need a .luacheckrc file in your mod directory (notice the dot at the beginning of the filename).

Here is an example :

Spoiler

Code: Select all

unused_args = false
allow_defined_top = true

read_globals = {
	"DIR_DELIM",
	"minetest", "core",
	"dump",
	"vector", "nodeupdate",
	"VoxelManip", "VoxelArea",
	"PseudoRandom", "ItemStack",
	"intllib",
	"default",
}

This (and Rubenwardy's moding book ) helped me a lot, I hope it will help you too !

Sure, upload the zip or even better put it on a git repo.

Did you install and enable the mod? When you load the game, are there errors? Does "/mods" list your mod?

[Stix]

Did you install and enable the mod? When you load the game, are there errors? Does "/mods" list your mod?

yes its installed and there are no errors when i load the game, it just doesnt show up.

[maikerumine]

yes its installed and there are no errors when i load the game, it just doesnt show up.

Does the depends have a missing MOD?

nope, all it depends on is default and farming and ive already put that in the depends.txt

[sofar]

... does the mod appear by name in "/mods" ?

[Napiophelios]

you have several typos and misspelled words: recipe and description
if you don't spell 'description' correctly it won't show in the creative inventory.
not sure if the proper spelling of 'recipe' matters or not.

Minetest should tell you in the debug file what needs to be fixed;
at least if you are missing punctuations.

If it just abruptly crashes without starting,
it's usually problems with crafting recipes

also your depends text should list the dependencies one by one/ line by line
I don't think you should have any puncuations except for a '?' in the depends.txt either

If it does make sure you use the configure button
to enable it for the world you are using


EDIT: oops sorry about the double post :(

yes that code it old i havent released my newer version withouy typos. but the new code still wont work!

here we go:

Code: Select all

--registers doublebaked_bread

minetest.register_craftitem("better_bread:doublebaked_bread", {
description = "doublebaked_bread",
inventory_image = "doublebaked.png",
on_use = minetest.item_eat(10)
groups = {doublebaked_bread = 99},
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "cooking",
output = "better_bread:doublebaked_bread"
recipe = "farming:bread",
})
--registers bread block

minetest.register_node("better_bread:bread_block", {
description = "bread block",
tiles = {"breadblock.png"},
groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3},
on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing),
hp_change = 20
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "shapeless",
output = "better_bread:bread_block",
recipe = {"farming:bread", "farming:bread", "farming:bread"}
})

minetest.register_craft({

})

Try this:


better_bread = {}

put that on the top line.

ALSO

Make sure the .lua is named:
lua


AND


your depends has:

default
farming

and the folder name that it sits in is named:
better_bread

[sofar]

Try this:

better_bread = {}

put that on the top line.

why? he's not using it anywhere, so you're just polluting the global namespace.

done all that already except this:better_bread = {}

[maikerumine]

Use this code:

Code: Select all

--registers doublebaked_bread

minetest.register_craftitem("better_bread:doublebaked_bread", {
description = "doublebaked_bread",
inventory_image = "doublebaked.png",
on_use = minetest.item_eat(10),
groups = {doublebaked_bread = 99},
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "cooking",
output = "better_bread:doublebaked_bread",
recipe = "farming:bread",
})
--registers bread block

minetest.register_node("better_bread:bread_block", {
description = "bread block",
tiles = {"breadblock.png"},
groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3},
on_use = minetest.item_eat(20),
minetest.item_eat(20)
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "shapeless",
output = "better_bread:bread_block",
recipe = {"farming:bread", "farming:bread", "farming:bread"}
})

You were missing some commas and the line on_use for your bread block confused me.

[Stix]

Use this code:

Code: Select all

--registers doublebaked_bread

minetest.register_craftitem("better_bread:doublebaked_bread", {
description = "doublebaked_bread",
inventory_image = "doublebaked.png",
on_use = minetest.item_eat(10),
groups = {doublebaked_bread = 99},
})
minetest.register_craft({
type = "cooking",
output = "better_bread:doublebaked_bread",
recipe = "farming:bread",
})
--registers bread block

minetest.register_node("better_bread:bread_block", {
description = "bread block",
tiles = {"breadblock.png"},
groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3},
on_use = minetest.item_eat(20),
minetest.item_eat(20)

minetest.register_craft({

output = "better_bread:bread_block",

THANK YOU!!!! it now works!!!!
