Flint and steel

[jordan4ibanez]

Very simple. You use the flint and steel to light fires, giving some real purpose for fire. I'm sure I will improve on this eventually. Also it would be great if someone could tell me how to add health to a craftitem.

I think I found the new use for matches in my fire mod :3

[Ragnarok]

Amazing! I've just burned down almost whole jungle. What do you think about crafting recipe like:

nothing, nothing, nothing
sandstone, sandstone, steel_ingot
sandstone, sandstone, steel_ingot

Is there a way to override the definition of the gravel node in {Minetest_Directory}/games/minetest-game/mods/default/init.lua? I'd to like make them give them flint instead of a gravel block sometimes. I added the following to {Minetest_Directory}/mods/minetest/flint_and_steel/init.lua, but much to my disappoint it didn't redefine default:gravel. Is there a way to do this without editing /default/init.lua?

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("flint_and_steel:gravel", {
    description = "Gravel",
    tile_images = {"default_gravel.png"},
    is_ground_content = true,
    groups = {crumbly=2, falling_node=1},
    drop = {
        max_items = 1,
        items = {
            {
                items = {'flint_and_steel:flint'},
                rarity = 5,
            },
            {

                items = {'default:gravel'},
            }
        }
    },
    sounds = default.node_sound_dirt_defaults({
        footstep = {name="default_gravel_footstep", gain=0.45},
    }),
})

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'flint_and_steel:flint_and_steel 1',
    recipe = {
        {'default:steel_ingot', '', ''},
        {'', 'flint_and_steel:flint', ''},
    }
})

Try changing flint_and_steel:gravel to default:gravel, and see what you come up with (hoping it's not an error)

[MikoMiko]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had tried that before posting, it raises the following error. I guess using default:gravel in mods isn't allowed.

yep, I knew it would output an error :S. I'm clueless now

Yeah, but I looked and you had to edit /default/init.lua. I was hoping there would be a way to avoid doing that and override in the mod but that doesn't seem to possible.

[minecraft64]

when i used the flint mod i had to copy the part of the code that makes it breakable to the mod so it would work

This is a bit late but you can redefine nodes by setting a : in front of their name:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node(":default:gravel", {...})

[PilzAdam]

Also it would be great if someone could tell me how to add health to a craftitem.

Code: Select all

itemstack:add_wear(65535/[number of uses])

Even overriding default:gravel I'm not getting drops of flint... either something is not working or the flint drops are very very very very rare.

[cornernote]

awesome mod!

i added a drop from gravel (tested and it works), and also a shapeless craft. grab the code here:
https://github.com/cornernote/minetest-flint_and_steel

please merge my changes back into this code

[Mito551]

i'm using your code to add flint and steel to dwarves. but i'll go a bit other, my way...

[Mito551]

it's dangerous to go alone! take this!

This is the code for flint and strike in fancy game mode

isn't it a bit more compex than yours? does it worth it?

[jordan4ibanez]

i don't understand the first question, and yes, try out fancy game mode to see it in action
