Actually I totally forgot about it. I'm glad you mention it. I'll have it check for air above the pointed node (and maybe I'll add the possibility to pin a letter to a wall).

Haven't had the chance to test it in multyplayer yet, but looks nice.

(EDIT: grammar)

Update
- fixed the bug where a letter replaced a node

Zeg9 · by **Zeg9** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:12 Post

Never mind, I didn't have the latest version. The issue I was talking about is fixed already.
So, this is a perfect mod (until I find a real bug

)

Allright, hope you find one, then

EDIT: and thanks

Small update (0.0.5)
- you get the default paper if you rightclicked on the placed paper but didn't write anything (Zeg9 found an issue

)

This mod is great! However...

It should be all who made Minetest. QD tip for remembering this is who goes with he (or in this case, they) and whom goes with him (or them).

OMG You are awesome

I tried to make them editable but failed horribly...

Thanx

What exactly did you do to edit the letter and under which circumstances?
First leftclick and then rightclick, on the placed letter, while holding an eraser?
In multiplayer or singleplayer?
Was it a signed letter?
If so: did you spell the name right?

I have encountered an error when I was getting the letter out of a bottle. I missed the block I was going to click on and instead left clicked in the air. Minetest then crashed. here is what you will want from the debug:

Code: Select all

10:14:55: ACTION[ServerThread]: BSB uses memorandum:message, pointing at [nothing]
10:14:56: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...est-0.4.7\minetest-0.4.7\bin\..\mods\memorandum\init.lua:239: attempt to index field 'under' (a nil value)
10:14:56: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:

Hope you can fix this soon, I love this mod.

Thanks for spotting that error. Should be fixed now.

Not yet.

(But it will follow.)

This could work better if paper was a node and used the drawtype that ladder also uses. That way you can stick it the the wall or ceiling too.

Sorry for late response.
I thought about that too, maybe I'll change it.

Btw: mod's on GitHub now.

Awesome mod. I have a suggestion: add Wax seals, so that we can seal closed the more important/royal letters, and the letter can not be opened without breaking the seal, making it obvious that the message has been intercepted.

Yeah, a wax seal would be a nice feature. I'm not sure how to do that yet, but I'll see what I can do.

Write on Paper 0.1.0
- One can pin a letter at a wall (eye level or higher)

To place a letter at a wall there has to be a node which you could build to (e.g. air, flower) below, otherwise it will be placed on the ground.
If you place a letter too high above your head it floats in the air.
I wish I would've found a simpler and cleaner way to combine the features of facedir and wallmounted. I'm open for suggestions to improve the code.

First texture for a wax seal is there, but unused. Not sure how to implement it yet.

There should be a drawtype, "ladderlike" or however it was called... it worked fine for ladders, then why not here too?

Yeah, it's called "signlike", used it here.
But didn't want to miss the ability to be able to rotate a letter horizontally depending on the direction the player looks when placing it on the ground. With "signlike" and "wallmounted" only this doesn't seem to be possible.
That's why I used two nodes: one with "signlike" and "wallmounted", the other one with "nodebox" and "facedir".
