For usage with the colormachine, the naming schem would have to be hardenedclay:hardened_clay_COLOR for the nodes and hardened_clay_COLOR.png for the textures.

There are already some mods which do require quite a lot of workaround to get their names right. I don't want to add more to that. So please rename nodes and textures :-) At least the texture names ought to be no problem at all.

You can also use a loop to define all the nodes, i.e.:

Code: Select all

colors = {"white","black","blue","red"}

for i,color in ipairs( colors ) do
        minetest.register_node("hardenedclay:hardened_clay_"..color, {
                description = color.." Hardened Clay",
                tiles = {"hardened_clay_"..color..".png"},
                groups = {cracky=3},
        })
end

Please stick either to the color names wool has or to the color names unifieddyes uses (looks more like the wool colors).

ShadowNinja wrote: That said, I've changed the texture names to match the mod. You may have trouble with hardenedclay:hardened_clay using the hardenedclay_regular.png texture file though. (Oh, you also shouldn't depend on the file being a png file, if you do)
