[Mod] Melterns - Tinkers in Minetest [melterns]

[IcyDiamond]

Melterns is an in-development mod for Minetest 5.0.0+ that adds molten metals, melting, casting and creating tools.
This mod is inspired by the Tinkers Construct mod for Minecraft, however it's much less-featured due to the current limitations of the Minetest API.
None of the components used in this mod have been taken from TC - everything is my original creation.

Depends on fluid_lib.

Nice, finally someone used the the set_tool_capabilities feature from minetest 0.5-dev to create a Tinkers Construct like mod.

Indeed. Now it just needs a way to set item texture from metadata and it's perfect.

Very nice, I hope you succeed with this.

Oh wow awesome I've been looking for help to make something like this am glad someone had done their attempt (because of system limitations). It looks sooooooooooooooo awesome. Thanks for making this.

And thank you for the kind words!

FINALLY, somebody more experienced than me made an attempt
I started working on something like this but then stopped

is there/could you add an api for registering our own materials into molten materials?

[TenPlus1]

W00t!

I can't get 0.5.0 unpacked from 7z :( Could anyone help?

[RSLRedstonier]

are there any mt api changes in 0.5 other than player pov changes?
I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be compatible with 4.16

You could actually make a api so that other mods can register items for the smeltery for example some mod ads a new ore type there could be a temperature required for it this could be made to be even better than what minecraft has with Tcon(tinkers) when a good well documented api is established also keep the good work up i like where this is going already

oh.
wait.
0.0
does this mean we can change the tool capabilities in-game per individual item stack instead of having to register several similar items and use replace the item? if so how is this data stored in the itemstack? metadata?

It's stored in metadata, yes, but you're supposed to use set_tool_capabilities to set it.

Yes, it is possible to register metals, but the API needs to be simplified, cleaned up and documented. I might implement temperature later as well. If you really want to, you can look into the various

Code: Select all

register.lua

files to see how the materials are added in the first place.

[csirolli]

I will definitely use this in my wip metals mod once the api is cleaned up.

[GamingAssociation39]

I can't figure out how this works :(

The mod source has been moved to my own GitLab instance: https://gitlab.icynet.eu/evert/melterns

The gitlab wiki page is not viewable without signing in to icynet.eu. Is it is suppose to be publicly viewable?

Oh, and should I assume from "Melterns is an in-development mod for Minetest 0.5.0+" that I should not expect it to work on 0.4.16?

It looks like a fun mod; it is tempting to try the beta version of minetest.

Unfortunately, this mod will not work on any version below 5.0.0, because it uses the new Tool Capabilities feature.

A little bit of documentation has been created: https://gitlab.icynet.eu/evert/melterns/wikis/API-Documentation
Also fixed a few crashes.
