[Solved]How do I make nodes that are not cubes?
I've seen it done in the non-cubic blocks mod, I just haven't the slightest clue how it is achieved. I want to make a table that has 4 legs on it. How can I do this?

Its in the PNG immage used. They use black and the programming for minetest interprets black in an immage file to mean empty space. So it becomes see through. Thats how the glass works.
A great way to acheive your table legs is to go and get the PSY mod. Edit the bmp immage or PNG or whatever it is to have a long striaght brown line that is fairly thick down through the work space. Then put black on each side. Save the immage file in the same format it is in, but rename it leg.
Then rename the folder to leg. And then open the lua file with notepad and edit anywhere you see PSY into the word leg.

I dont have much concern with how you feel about my opinion. Thats why its my opinion and not yours.

For an example of how to make something like a table, look at the Tonyka's "3dforniture" mod. It has such a thing already. Also take a look at my Home Decor mod, there are a few simple nodebox-based objects therein also.

or you can use my nodebox editor: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2840
Wow, thanks all of you. I looked at both decor mods. They looked great. Rubenwardy, your application looks amazing! I hope it works out like I think it will. I will try it when I return home.

rubenwardy, your program kept saying that msvcp110.dll and msvcr110.dll was missing. I installed both of them into the directory that I extracted the program into, and it said that it could not find the entry point "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" in MSVCR110.dll

It doesn't matter. I've gotten the nodebox things down. Thanks for the help guys! Plus, I was on a Windows machine only because I was at school. I'm on my linux box right now and unable to install it on here either. lol

Acutaly I have acheived this when I couldnot get clean glass mod to work. I found the glass, texture file. And edited the streeks with black. The result in game was glass with no pattern in the center. It was see through. I am not trying to agravate people. But was trying to participate. And my answer was in technicality true.InfinityProject wrote:Actually, none of that is true. The empty space is achieved through transparency.
You use a node box for an irregular shaped node.

With rubenwardy's editor, download the zipball from github, and cd in to the dir; then typescifiboi wrote:It doesn't matter. I've gotten the nodebox things down. Thanks for the help guys!
