Congrats FaceDeer, great work!

Ed, you need to clone with the --recursive flag to get the submodules.

That extra step is why I've got a pre-packaged version in releases on my fork for convenience, just grab castle.zip and it contains everything in its current revision.

I've filed an issue to have one added to the minetest-mods fork as well. Ironically, I have commit access to every submodule repository (since I created them all) but not the modpack they all combine into. :)

I've downloaded the updated castle_gates mod, looking at the locale file I've noticed detailed item descriptions:

"Place these bars in a structure together and they will slide as a unified gate when clicked on."

Since these are useful to figure how to properly use these nodes I'd like to know which inventory mod allows displaying these infos.

(Kudos for the mod itself.)

--- EDIT

I've just noticed the optional "doc" dependence, I guess that's it.

Yeah, that's the one. I've tried to add doc strings to every mod I touch, especially in cases like this where there are non-obvious features. :)

I'm looking for pillars crafted from the quartz/marble family (like the quartz pillar but your pillar crafting). That color-range side of decorative blocks would be great! Also clay/adobe family would be nice too. Any chance of either happening?

OK I figured it out: you have to modify BOTH init.lua AND settingtypes.txt; I added Brick to test.

There's obviously a problem with the GitHub zip download file - after decompression there's nothing inside except screenshot and readme.txt. Is this mod cancelled or is it a problem with GitHub?

About a year ago I broke the castle mod up into a collection of more focused mods and turned the original castle mod into a modpack. Unfortunately now the modpack has fallen a bit behind, each of the constituent mods has had further updates, so it might be good to just grab the component mods individually as needed:

Should I be downloading the FaceDeer repo, the minetest-mods repo, or everything separate?

Probably best to take them separately, the modpack bundles lag slightly behind the latest versions. Also it's easier to leave out the bits you don't want that way.

I had the same problem. The zip file doesn't contain the submodules. I just cloned that repository and checked out the submodules via "git submmodule update --init --recursive".

This mod could really use a tagged release with a .zip file containing everything attached to it, there's a lot of folks confused about how to get git to give them everything they need. I filed an issue to that effect a little over a year ago, not sure who to poke to get some motion on that.

Note: I am not a Lua programmer

I know how to add materials to init.lua and settintypes.txt (I've already added newer materials from default) BUT I need to detect if the external mod is already loaded other wise it throws an error and crashes. I'm using castles modpack from Dreambuilder modpack and I want to add materials from [building_blocks], [technics], and [quartz] from Dreambuilder modpack, also from other mods like [darkage], and [stone] (possibly others).

How do I code this:

Code: Select all

if [external mod] exists then
...
...
...
endif

The normal way is to add foo? to your mod's depends.txt file, where foo is the name of the mod you need to check for, e.g. quartz?, then in your code,

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("foo")
--
--    do something about it
--
end
You're far better off getting someone to help you update from your existing Minetest 0.4.16 to 0.4.17.1 + LuaJIT/GC64, as I mentioned in the other thread.

Thanks for the first part. I'm using that now to modify the mod(s) to add blocks. It's annoying that I have to add default nodes that should already be included but now I can add the other nodes in Dreambuilder too.

As for the second point I've already mentioned to you (in Dreambuilder) I've found the GC64 version and am testing it now. Unfortunately there is a problem with Dreambuilder and MoreBlocks (StairsPlus) that prevents me from using it without annoying bugs (mentioned by others).

I Just checked what I have, tapestries is at commit dc6ced62, and naturally Unified Dyes is up-to-date (commit feed6d5a, same as is on my gitlab).

I can craft tapestry + dye and place the result, and it works, or I can "airbrush" a placed one (either already dyed or not). Maybe you're trying to punch with dye?

Yeah, I got rid of the punch-with-dye feature some time ago, then added the airbrush. :-)

Anyone got this to work in Minetest 5.2.0?
Server always crashes when i try to activate any one of the mods inside the castle pack.

Or is there a similar mod (other than Darkage) like this?
We'd like to bulid Faerie Tales :D
