HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
Hello i have a problem because i have a great idea for a mod but i cant program but maybe someone cold do it for me.
The idea is from the book DUNE made by Frank Herbert. My idea was, that the player spawns on a desert planet, with
no trees and no water. so he cant mine. but there exist the spice witch kills the player if its eaten after ten minutes if he dont eat new. The spice gives you the ability to digg things hard to iron with your hand. to build sticks you can harvest spice with a harvester made with iron. The player cant use spice harvested with his hand for crafting.

Re: HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
A unique idea for a subgame but you will have to make it yourself in Lua. This guide details the basics of the minetest API https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding ... index.html
Textures are pretty easy to make and if you need to use media from other mods make sure to give credit following the terms of the mods license.
Decent explanations for those open source licenses are here https://resources.whitesourcesoftware.c ... -explained
You won't need too much experience with Lua as the idea you are describing doesn't have much interactivity.

There are already games with a similar genre, see Hades Revisited and NewPlanet.

Re: HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
There are many people one or two years older than you who have released multiple logic heavy mods on contentdb. If you want to use minetest as an engine for your game you will need to learn Lua.captenfalkonion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 14:19okay but i have there a little problem i cant program lua i mean im 13 years old and my biggest success was

I am xx years older than you and have most of the quirks of Lua and the minetest API learned with very little time actually using it. Age is no excuse.

Re: HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
I recommend looking at rubenwardy's modding guide as it covers the minetest API which is needed to register nodes, items and mapgen.captenfalkonion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 17:16

The discord might be better for quick questions about modding and texturing you may have.

Re: HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
Im your same age, possibly younger, I started learning Lua 2-3 years ago. A great idea would be to copy and paste minetest_game (found at minetest>games) change the folder name, and the document named "game" open it up edit the name to what name you want it to be called. Next go to the mods folder in this same folder (minetest>games>your_game>mods) go to default or any other mod you would like to alter, open the folder edit the document you'd like to change, for example to make the place a desert, go to minetest>games>your_game>mods>default>mapgen and find the area (line 912) delete all the biomes you dont want, atleast keep one and change up some stuff (node_top=default:sand, node_filler=default:stone, etc.), anyways thats a good start, you can make trees and stone harder to break in nodes if you want tooo... Hope this helps!

Why start with Minetest Game and not the games I mentioned? Those are far closer to what you are trying to achieve.

Re: HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
I thoght it wold be easier if i use the minetest game because it sounds easier to make a own minetest gme and delete all bioms without one.
Re: HELP I have a mod idea and but i cant program it please help me
to delete stuff from minetest game without breaking it, you must understand everything there is. and that's a whole lot. not to mention that many things are not even sorted or organized.captenfalkonion wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 07:54I thoght it wold be easier if i use the minetest game because it sounds easier to make a own minetest gme and delete all bioms without one.
creating a new game base and adding the things you need is much easier than butchering MTG to fit your purposes.
i recommend paramat's Minipeli game. there's nothing in it except some basic stuff to start a game without falling into the void.
special effects, like that spice, don't exist in MTG, so you would have to create some things from scratch either way.
starting from a mostly empty base is less work than creating a usable empty base from a messy content-rich game.

Actually deleting stuff from any game isn't that hard at all XD
(i didn't say it will still work unless you delete Everything!)

Have you a git repo? The idea sound very interesting, I am also a newby but lua and minetest api is really easy. mayby more than python. If it is github my name is qawsedrftgzh on github
