[apercy]

Nice mod!!!!!!

[u18398]

Update:

fix error when placing a node on a lightnode (water or air)

[firefox]

rather than a torchlight tool, this would be nice if implemented as armor.
doesn't necessarily need to be a helmet, nipple lights would work, too. :P

[u18398]

lol, this can be implemented as anything. It just needs a start pos for the ray to calculate.

Originally I started to play around with this because we searched for a light for the nautilus.

Cool!

[u18398]

Update:

no more dependent on mobkit
uses raycasts, no expansive node calculations
now uses nodetimers instead of minetest.after() which works
reliantly and leaves no traces. This way I could get rid of all the
LBMs which checked for remains of the bright nodes.

You can easily add other nodes, just see the table in init.lua.
It still works with privs but it has WTFPL so apply it to WTF you want to XD

Cool concept.

[u18398]

Update


fixed blinking light bug in water
removed light nodes from inventory
now smooth by default

[cuthbertdoublebarrel]

missed this one
yeah a water proof torch is a very useful tool to have .
nice one gundul

[cuthbertdoublebarrel]

conflicting with the witt mod ,now everything registers as light air or flickers rapidly between that and the item label .
any chance you could add a setting that the light only activates when its pointed at a dark area instead of active all the time ?

[u18398]

Sorry but this mod is only a proof of concept. It is not meant to be used standalone.
The priv solution I made only to demonstrate how it works and that it works at all.
Code is WTFPL so you can use it in any mod you made from it. Maybe just consider
writing some credit where it came from.

Update

fixed bug with brightwater nodes and self renewable.

I did something like this before using a Bresenham walk, not a raycast, but I forgot the reason. Could entities possibly interfere with the raycast?

[u18398]

Interfering with objects could be turned on/off. Like it is now, when thy ray hits an object it will stop and return the position of the object. So the light will be at the objects position.
