How fast are they supposed to decay? I waited a minute and nothing went away. A few minutes later though I got an error that I can't remember what it was for. I used the latest dev release.

[MarkTraceur]

It should be pretty much instantaneous--definitely under 30 seconds. Strange that you got an error, though. It might work better with the absolute, bleeding edge, up-to-the-minute dev code on GitHub, would you mind testing? I'd much rather support that than transient dev releases.

I've looked around on GitHub but can't find how to get the latest release. I can only find individual files.

Looking at the code I think this will only work on newly generated blocks, not old ones or saplings turned into trees, since they wouldn't have had param2 set.

I did generate a new world after adding the mod.

Again, where do I find the place to download the whole game with the latest files?

You can download the latest version of minetest here: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/zipball/master
However, this is only the source code. So you still need to compile it.

I'll pass on that. It takes like 5 programs on Windows.

@bwog: you can find the latest compiled dev versions for windows here: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/downloads

These are one's that Celeron55 compiles and releases, they might not always contain the very latest changes but they are usually kept pretty well up to date (also stable releases will also be found there)

[bwog]

Still doesn't do anything in the latest dev build. Where is the mods folder supposed to be? Maybe I have it in the wrong place.

EDIT: Never mind, found out where. I had it in the wrong place, that's probably why it didn't work...

[dannydark]

In your init.lua file you say:

-- NOTE: It is recommended that you add a line to your mapgen.cpp
-- if you want leaf decay to work with sapling-grown trees.
-- Specifically, under the following line:
-- MapNode applenode(LEGN(ndef, "CONTENT_APPLE"));
-- in mapgen.cpp, the function make_tree, you should add:
-- leavesnode.param2 = 1;

However, when I do this all trees generate with stone leaves lol.

[MarkTraceur]

Ah! Yes, I forgot to change that line. It should be

Code: Select all

leavesnode.param2 |= 1;

[dannydark]

Thanks ^_^ will give that a try.

EDIT: Yeah that worked, cheers mate.

I get an error that your mod doesn't follow naming conventions.

[MarkTraceur]

neko: Probably because you extracted it into a directory with a really long name. The path should look like so:

Code: Select all

..../data/mods/leaf_decay

If it has "marktraceur" anywhere in it, you did it wrong.

[neko259]

Why don't you repack it to have a short name without additional renaming?

[MarkTraceur]

If you check out the git repo (which is my first suggestion), you'll get a nicely named directory. I don't think gitorious allows me to change the name of the archive.

Your best bet is to

Code: Select all

tar xvzf <tarball name>
mv <directory name> leaf_decay

[neko259]

Mmm, okay then

[neko259]

Please look at the mod from RTMMP. Your one doesn't work for me, and that one works.

I updated the Leaf Decay mod to work with the latest 0.4dev as I needed it for my server, I also added a version string to it as I like to see what version of a mod I have on server start.

You can grab my updated version here: http://pastebin.com/XN5qeawR

Just replace the contents of the leaf_decay/init.lua file with that pastebin

I named it 0.3 (so I know that I have changed it from the original) but feel free to take my changes there wasn't many lol ^_^

[Arwym]

So, is this working with 0.4?

on build 03202012 clicking the fallen apples crashes the game, and if you remove the mod the game no longer launches.
