[Mod] Super Duper Walls! [sdwalls]

Super Duper Walls! or SD Walls for short adds modular flexible walls to Minetest.
Functionality
The mod adds walls from various different base nodes like cobblestone or stone bricks. The walls automatically connect to all other walls created by SD Walls.
In addition to that wall pillars are automatically created where applicable.
- At all corners
- At all T-junctions
- At all wall ends
- If the wall stands alone
- If the wall is surrounded by other walls
If a wall is not in one of the above positions nothing will happen to it and it remains as a wall.
If you want to use a pillar/wall where usually a wall/pillar would be placed just punch the wall while wielding a wall. The punched wall will then toggle between the pillar form and the wall form.
Please note: This toggled type will be updated according to the neighbors when placing a wall adjacent to the toggled wall and has to be re-set as wanted at no cost.
Various different walls connected in various ways.
Crafting the walls added by
SD Walls is similar to crafting the normal walls but minus one node.
Putting a wall in the crafting grid returns one of the base nodes, too.
Obtaining the mod
Depends: none (due to delayed node registration)

Eh, the wood wall has the same recipe as the
minetest_game/mods/doors trapdoor.
In the video, the mod seems nice, it's so simple.

Of ffs … you’re right. I was so focused on getting the walls done that I totally forgot about all other aspects of the game. I just altered the recipe and documentation. It should now work with all
Minetest Game mods.
And simple, yes, that was my intention. Easy to understand and simple to use
super duper cool walls! :)

I've been dreaming of a mod like this for ages! Thus far I've been making do with normal walls, but this is a much superior alternative from an aesthetic standpoint..
Also, I got a chuckle looking at that Github issue. I've gotten in the habit of publishing "git diffs" so that users can manually backport features and bugfixes that rightfully should be patched in 0.4.x ;)

Haha, yes, me to :) I always wondered why this wasn’t already implemented in the default
walls mod until I implemented it by myself figuring out the best practice on updating, screw over and start again several times during the weekend.
The wall design is based the walls of on my soon-to-be discontinued xFurniture mod.

Regarding development decisions I’m in the

Wait, disconnected boxes are going to be a thing? That will be so useful for whatever awesome ideas I had (I forgot what they were because I thought they were impossible to do easily :/)

Now supporting
moreblocks:
Cactus bricks, grey bricks, and iron stone bricks
Of course all connectable with the other walls.

I think of dropping support for half of the wooden walls, or to be more specific, all walls made from the “raw tree nodes” (the tree trunks). I’m not sure about dropping the planks, too.
I want to focus on wall materials and wooden planks are not the material one usually builds walls from, right?

Give it a setting? People sometimes choose what wall to use for their build by the looks. Not the material

Yes, actually you’re right. So let’s configure all the things :)
Those are logical groups not node groups. Readme was updated, too.
https://gitlab.com/4w/sdwalls#configuration
Conclusion: If anyone used wooden wall types before or plans doing so: you need to add
sdwalls_use_default_wood = true to your
minetest.conf file.

All walls and pillars now connect to their respective base nodes (no interconnections between different wall base nodes and full nodes are made, e.g. cobblestone walls and stone brick nodes do not connect). All other features are untouched.
To disable this functionality set
sdwalls_connect_to_base = false in your
minetest.conf.

Walls can now configured to not connect to walls of different types.
Make sure to read the
usage instructions for this feature.
Get from GitLab or wait till Content DB is updated.

Please note: The most recent Git version is only compatible with Minetest 5.0.0-dev. A Git tag for 0.4.17 was created. See first post.

As you might see from the first post screenshots the wall design now resembles the default wall design. All other functionality remains exactly the same.
Overall the walls are 2/16 higher than the default walls.
Read here why.

As you might have noticed already: The pillars design changed a little again. It now looks more like the original xFurniture walls again.
In other news: SD Walls now supports all
Morebricks nodes.
Update will be pushed through CDB soon.

Thank you very much, Linuxdirk! Maybe I'll add this to
our server.

I think one of the mods I have enabled is breaking this one. Not sure which though, any ideas?
(I haven't managed to discover which, I have quite a few mods enabled...)

Mmmh, SD Walls is very self-contained but it is pretty visibly not working properly for you.
From what I can see: Neither do the
disconnected nodeboxes disappear when connected (1st and 3d stacked pillar) nor do the
connected nodeboxes appear (everything between the pillars). The detection of whether to place a pillar or wall seem to work.
Check for mods that modify any of the node’s definitions
node_box table entries (this is where the connected and disconnected nodeboxes are defined) or that alter how nodes are placed.
In my testing environment SD Walls works as expected when all of this mods are enabled (some of them are not published so they can be ignored).

0x7be_hud

I can’t test all of them of course. Please make a mod list for both of the worlds and list the differences.

I've found the culprit. It was the mod I least expected though. Would this be an issue for that mod or this one?
https://github.com/everamzah/superpick
EDIT: Hmmmm. It looks like they may have some pointless code in there. I'll fiddle around and see...

I’d say it’s an issue for the superpick mod. Their
minetest.after in
init.lua seems to somehow mess with the (dis)connected nodebox functionality.

I'm sorry for that mod, lol. Maybe you can increase the minetest.after delay time from 0.1 to a higher value. Maybe you can use some new 5.0 feature that waits until all other mods are loaded (I forget the name).
Perhaps there is a race condition.
