[Mod] More Blocks [moreblocks]

[Calinou]

An update was made today:

• Code cleaned up, with many bug fixes.
• You can now craft sticks back into wood and craft sticks using saplings.
• You can brighten or darken coal stone, iron stone, coal glass and iron glass back into their normal variants.
• Trap Glow Glass and Trap Super Glow Glass now have different textures to separate them from their non-trap variants.
• Trap Stone has a new texture.
• Legacy code is not loaded anymore by default.

Thanks a million Calinou! I'm really glad to see that you still working well on this mod.

Having some bug issues with the 2014_05_02 and 03 releases of "MoreBlocks". They seem to stem from dependencies from the "Carbone" game. Presently "MoreBlocks" will crash Minetest because "MoreBlocks" is looking for things that only exist in "Carbone".


Non-crash issue: default_fence_overlay.png not found

Crash issue: desert_cobble doesn't exist in "default"

registrations.lua: "desert_cobble" in the "local default_nodes" list does not exist causing "local ndef = minetest.registered_nodes[nodename]" to find it as a nil value.

Both issues were fixed.

The latest updates make it much easier to craft Stairs+ nodes without a circular saw. You can craft almost any basic-looking Stairs+ node, it's also nicely intuitive.

_ X
X X

The above recipe can be used to craft 12 panels, in addition to stairs and slabs (where _ is empty space and X is the material).

Putting a stair, slab or panel in the crafting grid splits it into microblocks. Putting 2 to 8 microblocks in the crafting grid merges them into slabs, stairs (standard, inner/outer corner and half) and full blocks. Putting an half stair in the crafting grid mirrors it.

i noticed 2 bugs in this mod with the circular saw.

you can't stack stairs made mith the circular saw with these crafted with normal blocks (for example wooden stairs)

the other bug is, that you can get microblocks twice
for this you have to do this:
1: put any block in the saw and take one normal stair
2: take the two microblocks out ouf the saw (under the place where you put in the input-block, not in the output-area!)
3: you can take now these microblocks out of the output-area (which shouldn't be there normally, because you removed the other microblocks)

edit: i found a third bug:

with normal sticks you get 3 ladders, but with jungle sticks only one.
I tested it without this mod (but there aren't jungle sticks, because they were added with this mod), and you get only one then out of normal sticks.

Please may you make darkage work with the circular saw. Thanks :)

[Krock]

Please may you make darkage work with the circular saw. Thanks :)

This belongs to the darkage mod. The circular saw has functions, so other mods can offer support - or not.

[Vazon]

I pushed a update for my darkage mod, and yes it works with the moreblocks mod if it is there

Please could you update it on your server then?

repo: https://bitbucket.org/adrido/moreblocks
git: https://adrido@bitbucket.org/adrido/moreblocks.git

i woud be happy if you can merge them

Fixed by using a simple search-and-replace filter in stairs.lua, slabs.lua, panels.lua, microblocks.lua:
Search: "moreblocks
Replace: modname .. "

It's an amazing mod. We have made a little video about it and we'll be using it in the next movies! This is good.

[Sokomine]

It's an amazing mod.

Yes, it is. One of the mods that ought to be present (apart from homedecor) on each server.

We have made a little video about it and we'll be using it in the next movies! This is good.

Good to hear! Hope there'll be progress on your mods as well. That...headless..cow is creepy :) Give it a nice texture! Also, take a look at Trainwreck Tonys server. Some of your mods are running there.

[JKMurray]

Thanks Sokomine! I'll take a look at them! Currently we're thinking about doing a series on a minetest-server with all kinds of mods. Any advice from the experts?

Check your added materials. In gitorious code "local ndef" line is located at line 28, so I guess you added something and made typo or so there. (in your error message this line starts at line 30)

I haven't add anything, the mod is the default from the gitorious.

This mod loads and works for me.

- What happens if you create a new game and only enable moreblocks?
- Do you use minetest_game or another game?

Hi,
I would add a check if ndef~=nil.
This should fix the error, but maybe not the cause of the error.
Replace old for loop in registrations.lua with this:

Code: Select all

for _, name in pairs(default_nodes) do
	local nodename = "default:" .. name
	local ndef = minetest.registered_nodes[nodename]
if ndef~=nil then
	local groups = {}
	for k, v in pairs(ndef.groups)
		-- Ignore wood and stone groups to not make them usable in crafting:
		do if k ~= "wood" and k ~= "stone" then
			groups[k] = v
		end
	end
	local drop
	if type(ndef.drop) == "string" then
		drop = ndef.drop:sub(9)
	end
	stairsplus:register_all("moreblocks", name, nodename, {
		description = ndef.description,
		drop = drop,
		groups = groups,
		sounds = ndef.sounds,
		tiles = ndef.tiles,
		sunlight_propagates = true,
	})
end
end

- What happens if you create a new game and only enable moreblocks?
- Do you use minetest_game or another game?

1) It gives me the same error
2) It's the minetest from the Ubuntu PPA.

It worked with Miner59 solution
Thank you

Added basic slopes. More will follow later.

The slopes branch requires a recent Git build to run (from 2014-10-19 or newer).

If you have cloned More Blocks, you can switch to it by typing, after using cd to go to More Blocks' folder:

Code: Select all

git checkout slopes
