So many people says it looks like a butterfly, lol.
And it is my last mod because I'm going to take a long break from minetest.

[Chinchow]

Oh well be sure to come back

Sorry To Say This Maybe Night Vision Goggles need more light when used thank you
one more when we use it maybe it we can see heat signature

[jojoa1997]

Sorry To Say This Maybe Night Vision Goggles need more light when used thank you

yes make the light 15

[Josh]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i can be Sam Fisher +30
I see you took a look at my idea!

[Aqua]

Sorry To Say This Maybe Night Vision Goggles need more light when used thank you

yes make the light 15

Uh, the maximum for light_source is 14... But I will make an alternate one with higher light if you want..

[jojoa1997]

ok thanks and you can set light to 15. it works this way for me

[Mito551]

uhmm, i don't want to seem to be rude but something like this has been done before, hasn't it?

It would be cool if we didn't need to hold the goggles so we can do other things

[RealBadAngel]

It would be cool if we didn't need to hold the goggles so we can do other things

local hotbar=inv:get_list("main")
for index=1,8,1 do

if hotbar[index]:get_name() ==

just use this to check if item is put on the hotbar (first 8 inventory slots). Then it hasnt to be wielded.

But there are no similarities in the code... Wait, what??
Walking light:

Code: Select all

    if wielded_item ~= "default:torch" and wielded_item ~= "walking_light:pick_mese" then
        -- Neuberechnung des Lichts erzwingen
        minetest.env:add_node(rounded_pos,{type="node",name="default:cobble"})
        minetest.env:add_node(rounded_pos,{type="node",name="air"})
    end

Night goggles:

Code: Select all

    if wielded_item ~= "night_goggles:night_vision_goggles" then
        minetest.env:add_node(rounded_pos,{type="node",name="default:cobble"})
        minetest.env:add_node(rounded_pos,{type="node",name="air"})
    end

Caught you! Why would you put "type=node"?

Code: Select all

    player_positions[player_name]["x"] = rounded_pos.x;
    player_positions[player_name]["y"] = rounded_pos.y;
    player_positions[player_name]["z"] = rounded_pos.z;

Also is just the same in your code. You cannot have written that from scratch, noone would randomly use such a strange construction if he didn't just copypaste it.

Code: Select all

minetest.env:add_node(old_pos,{type="node",name="default:cobble"})
minetest.env:add_node(old_pos,{type="node",name="air"})

That doesn't even make sense, but you copied it. You could have used dig_node or remove_node instead I guess.
Basically the whole code is copied,

I know, walking light's license is WTFPL and you are allowed copy it, but you should give credit, that's good manner. I'm sure you can do better than just stealing other people's work.

Yes I know, but that was being buried in the forums(on page 6 of mod releases) so I wanted to remake it and improve on it(revamp)!

[Aqua]

(...)

Your right Jeija, I'm starting this from scratch and writing my own code. I was just trying to revive Echo's Walking Light in a different way.

[Aqua]

It would be cool if we didn't need to hold the goggles so we can do other things

local hotbar=inv:get_list("main")
for index=1,8,1 do

if hotbar[index]:get_name() ==

Where do I put this?

make a function like this:

function check_for_googles (player)
if player==nil then return false end
local inv = player:get_inventory()
local hotbar=inv:get_list("main")
for index=1,8,1 do
if hotbar[index]:get_name() == "night_goggles:night_vision_goggles" then
return "night_goggles:night_vision_goggles"
end
end
return false
end

and replace:
local wielded_item = player:get_wielded_item():get_name()
with:
local wielded_item = check_for_googles(player)

[Aqua]

Works great! Thank you!

[Aqua]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i can be Sam Fisher +30
I see you took a look at my idea!

Cool I'll try to make the textures more like Sam's..!

Version 2.0 released!
New features:
-No need to hold just have it in your first 8 slots!(Thanks to RealBadAngel)!
-Light increased!

[Aqua]

@Jeija I am writing my own code...
But I have a question:
Can abm be used with a craftitem? If not is it possible to make it so?

EDIT: dig_node and remove_node don't work..

[Aqua]

Request move to mod releases!

[Aqua]

Sorry To Say This Maybe Night Vision Goggles need more light when used thank you
one more when we use it maybe it we can see heat signature

Nice Idea!

Version 3 Released:
-NO MORE FLYING COBBLE AND GLITCHES!! I registered a new node with an invisible texture!!
-Less buggy and faster code!

[Dopium]

Nice mod! Installed on singleplayer and it works very well, very interesting

[nomohakon]

Night vision enhances all light it catches, so this is more like cheap key-light.
