Attn Mod Devs: Please update your mods to work with latest unstable..

[RAPHAEL]

I'm making a request for mod devs to update their mods for latest unstable dev build. Should be pretty quick for someone who knows how to do it. For the time being I suggest providing the old mod and the updated mod so users can use whichever based on their minetest version.

The main problem I see is you need to change the "minetest.digprop" line to "groups = {type=0}"
Whereas type corresponds to the node/tool you are defining. And the number can be 0,2, or 3. (Look in default init.lua for more)

[RabbiBob]

You can leave minetest.digprop in place if you want some backwards compatibility. I'm keeping it in there for a little bit.

So it seems to me that there are not hardcoded groups, but the ones that are in the default init.lua file are:
fleshy
crumbly
snappy
cracky
choppy
bendy
dig_immediate
oddly_breakable_by_hand

i found this.. not like i know what it means but i know this is whats causing the mods to not work.
-- minetest.digprop_constanttime(time)
-- minetest.digprop_stonelike(toughness)
-- minetest.digprop_dirtlike(toughness)
-- minetest.digprop_gravellike(toughness)
-- minetest.digprop_woodlike(toughness)
-- minetest.digprop_leaveslike(toughness)
-- minetest.digprop_glasslike(toughness)
--
and that fleshly oddly_breakable by hand to.
so whats the problem exactly is there a new system to register the nodes or something?

[randomproof]

All the "minetest.digprop_" functions are deprecated and do nothing now. Look at the default init.lua file to see how nodes are now defined. Also look at the tools to see how they are now interacting with the node groups.

See this example:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_tool("default:shovel_steel", {
    description = "Steel Shovel",
    inventory_image = "default_tool_steelshovel.png",
    tool_capabilities = {
        max_drop_level=1,
        groupcaps={
            crumbly={times={[1]=0.50, [2]=0.35, [3]=0.30}, maxwear=0.1, maxlevel=2}  <---------------crumbly
        }
    },
})
minetest.register_node("default:sand", {
    description = "Sand",
    tile_images = {"default_sand.png"},
    is_ground_content = true,
    groups = {crumbly=3},     <-----------------crumbly
})


I can't say I fully understand what all the different numbers mean, though.

[LorenzoVulcan]

Those new functions are really usefull for items,but so limitative for nodes.Is there any way for making new groups or new valours without using C++?

[randomproof]

I think you can make any groups you want. For example you could edit the plant growing mods to have a 'plant' group on their nodes and tools.

I updated my desert mod :)
Cacti should be actually be destroyable in default mode with your fists.

You can change nodes that have already been defined if you want. First, make sure that 'default' is in your depends.txt file, then you add this to your mod's init.lua file:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.registered_nodes["default:cactus"].groups[oddly_breakable_by_hand]=2

Nice, thank you for the tip :)
