[Modpack] WorldEdit [worldedit]

[sfan5]

Old saves still work right? (I didn't know they had the .we extension xD)

Yep

[lkjoel]

I'm not exactly getting how this works. I'm using the latest build (both minetest and your mod), and it appears to work fine with //pos1 and //pos2, but when I say //p get, it just gives 0,0,0 on P1 and P2 (which is not the case), so of course, setting does not work.

Type //p set, punch a node here and punch a node there.
p1=coordinates of a node here
p2=coordinates of a node there

Linux is not the Problem

[lkjoel]

I'm using linux, and I did try //p set, and it still didn't work (I punched two different objects). Nothing seems to show up.

First: can't believe I have just gotten around to installing this and playing with it. Very nice!
Second: Anyone sharing .we files?

What are the advantages to this as opposed to creative mode?

[Temperest]

WorldEdit complements creative mode; it allows you to avoid the tedious task of placing blocks over and over in the same pattern, for example, or replacing all the stone in a structure with cobblestone.

[bgsmithjr]

So you make a block pattern lets say a castle then instead of rebuilding the castle in another spot it's a keystroke away?

Yeah, that'd be good. I'm still a n00b with it and I'm curious to understand better the .we layout. If I see something more complex than I'm able to make in testing, that may help.

[Temperest]

Well not a keystroke but you definitely wouldn't have to rebuild your castle. You could use the //stack command to duplicate it or use //save and //load to put a copy anywhere you like.

Ok I will upload and post here when I get to my computer.

[sfan5]

Whats the Chat-Output when you enter //p set ?

Here's a very quick worldedit patch I used on my server today:

That is how to add a privilege and check it in the latest API (0.4.dev-20120408). You'll probably want to remove the weperms file completely though; I didn't bother.

Also, you might want to use the new chatcommand API; here is a quick quote from doc/lua_api.txt. See builtin/chatcommands.lua for examples.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_chatcommand(cmd, chatcommand definition)

Chatcommand definition (register_chatcommand)
{
    params = "<name> <privilege>", -- short parameter description
    description = "Remove privilege from player", -- full description
    privs = {privs=true}, -- require the "privs" privilege to run
    func = function(name, param), -- called when command is run
}                                          

[lkjoel]

I found the problem. It's because we are storing the mods in a global directory, where us users have no permission to change. I'm halfway done fixing that, and then I'll post a patch for you

[lkjoel]

Here is the dirty patch to fix the problem of not being able to set P1 and P2 (you will want to change it, but I hope it gives you an idea of what to do: USE TEMP FILES!):

Code: Select all

6a6,8
> thetemppos1 = os.tmpname() .. "pos1"
> thetemppos2 = os.tmpname() .. "pos2"
> thetemppostoset = os.tmpname() .. "postoset"

Anyways, it works.

I'm having trouble using this mod (using WE v0.4 from the link on the OP)...

I wanted to copy part of one world (which I'm pretty sure was generated with 0.3) over to a new environment, so I loaded the world with the stuff I wanted to copy, navigated around and set //pos1 and //pos2 at opposite corners of the "box" I was interested in (a region about 40 x 65 x 200 nodes in size), did a //save filename which went okay, or so I gathered. I then exited back to the main menu, created and started playing in a new world, navigated to where I wanted to paste what was saved, and tried to issue load the saved file.

The game aborted without modifying the new world, leaving these messages on the controlling terminal:

12:25:09: ACTION[ServerThread]: singleplayer leaves game. List of players:
12:25:09: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...e/vanessa/.minetest/mods/minetest/worldedit/init.lua:383: attempt to get length of global 'data' (a nil value)
12:25:09: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:
Quit message received.

(I clicked "Proceed", which took me back to the main menu, and then I just closed the game.)

I tried this in both survival mode and creative mode. Using minetest 0.4 (20120416) from the PPA.

Paste your saved WorldEdit File

[VanessaE]

http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa ... st/home.we

How it got inflated to 74 MB with such a relatively small block being copied, you got me :-)

[sfan5]

Try saving and pasting again
