... But it destroys blocks nearby as you mention it and also, if i destroy door blocks and touch the knob with anything but axe - voila! - door opens with full blocks so I can "clone" door blocks without the knob easily... this should be fixed. I would destroy the door in reverse order. To remove i...

You can remove with a tool, like an axe. I tried to make the handle only respond to being hit with an empty hand.

My homie has you mod on his server, very nice i might add, but the texture is so i uno, not right. Not to be a arse but can we use a texture i made till we get yours? links are: Knob: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ic8cqh&s=5 No knob: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2igj1w3&s=5 There small and jus...

placed last That's my problem. Thanks. When you place the door handle it finds all the regular door pieces and calculates the 2 possible open positions. That is why it must be placed last. It may be possible to calculate the open position dynamically. I did it the way I did so as t save the beginni...

Also, your crafting recipe shouldn't use steel_ingot as a node, it's a craft item :) Yea, I saw that and fixed it. Awesome! It's still a little buggy (a 2x3 door for me doesn't move the block above the handle), but very good. Do you think you can make it look slimmer with the signlike drawtype? I d...

This is a proof of concept doors mod. March 2012 (Updated for new code changes) Jan 2012 (Updated for new code changes) License: Public Domain Gitorious Link: https://gitorious.org/randomproofs-minetest-mods/doors/trees/master Adds two new nodes, "door_wood" and "doorhandle_wood".

Small change that would allow wallpaper to stay on the wall when you paint it and be able to change already painted wallpaper to another color: minetest.register_craftitem("home_mod:rose_can", { image = "rose_can.png", on_place_on_ground = minetest.craftitem_place_item, on_use = function(item, playe...

Looking at the code I think this will only work on newly generated blocks, not old ones or saplings turned into trees, since they wouldn't have had param2 set.

Two bugs I've found thus far: 1. digprop_* are only callable like minetest.digprop_*, so you need to add minetest. to your digprop line(s) 2. You need to follow the naming conventions for your nodes and items--thus "breadmod:wheat" instead of "breadmod_wheat" Updated. Noticed these changes when I p...

It takes a *long* time for this stuff to grow....did you mean for that to happen? Also, you should consider using "default:dirt" instead of "dirt" for the node names (same thing for all of the nodenames) Yes, I meant for it to take time to grow, stuff in real life takes time to grow, but it is twea...

I think the problem might be in this line: local test_p = {pos.x+x, pos.y+y, pos.z+z} Should be local test_p = {x = pos.x+x, y = pos.y+y, z = pos.z+z} you have to put the field names in the assignment, in case x, y and z, for a position. I would suggest changing the for loop variables to something s...

The screenshot of growing wheat doesn't show up... :/ Seems nice, though. Bread should heal 5 hearts, not 8... 8 is too much. Yeah, later today I will fix the screenshot. I was trying to host it on dropbox but can't get it to display. I had the hearts at 8 only because of the hard work it takes to ...

UPDATE: With the new updates that were recently pushed out, I have decided to put this mod on hold. If someone else wants to use this mod, feel free to update the code. Adds wheat which can be turned into flour, which can be added to bucket of water to be made into dough, which can be baked into bre...

Here is a generic version of the growing mod. I've made it so other mods can use it such as my bread mod which uses it for wheat to grow. Look at the examples for papyrus and cactus on how to us it. The function add_grow_type is called with the first param as the node type you want to grow. The seco...

Thak you ironzorg. I like what you did with this. I wrote this very quickly as a proof of concept and I intended to make it more generic today anyway so you saved me some time. I'm going to give you credit on the wiki page. Here is a version that includes a max_height variable and I moved some of th...

I remade the patch for growing papyrus into a mod. The interval and chance need some tweaking though as I'm not exactly sure how they are used. In enviroment.cpp at line 643 the call if(myrand() % i->chance != 0) doesn't really make sense. It should be more like this: if(myrand_range(1, 1000) > i->c...

From a coding and usability standpoint I would rather keep things simple. I also want there to be a reason in the game for any new stuff. The writable paper allows me to note the coordination of certain features in the game so I can find them later. Adding the ability to add massive amounts of text ...

Well it would be a good Idea, but there would be a problem: Books should inherit more text than a lone sign, bookshelves should support more books. To say it bluntly, it would surpass the Index of a sign or a chest really fast. A solution would be to use the Index of an Item as a footnote to link d...

I should say that I edited socket.cpp to compress individual packets. It might be possible to compress and decompress higher up in the code and compress large clumps of map data. Here is my code. Look for COMPRESS_NETWORK to find changes. /* Minetest-c55 Copyright (C) 2010 celeron55, Perttu Ahola <c...

I did a little testing and it seems that there is a problems with this idea. Using the compression code from http://www.firstobject.com/easy-zlib-c++-xml-compression.htm (it is a wrapper around zlib 1.2.3) I was able to quickly setup a test. Using this really slowed down the server. The main reason ...

just calculate a "mass" of every structure That would be the hardest thing to do. How would you determine if a block is part of a structure? I've thought of the idea of calculating weight of blocks and how much they could carry with the thought that large caves and structure could collapse if not p...

I'm going to clean up the code a little and put some comments then I'll move it over. I'm also think of changing signs to save the text the same way. I'm also thinking about making a poster item that will display the text when you point at it. You could put up a bulletin board near spawn with server...

I've made a fork with added writable paper. A single item of paper is craftable into an item of non-stackable writable paper. When you right-click twice on it in the inventory screen you can add multi-lined text to it. This text is saved with the item on the server. So you could write a message on i...

.. that way people will know that you're working on it.

Done!

Ok, so I have some working code. https://github.com/randomproof/minetest How it works: To get writable just put a piece of paper in the center of the crafting area and you will get 1 writable paper(not stackable). I might change this to also require a lump of coal. To change the text on the paper ri...

FYI, if the problem primarily happens when you login to a server (or to a local game), it seems to be a bug with the way gravity and collision detection works. When the client environment doesn't update for about half a second (that's often the case when you login), depending on the floating point ...

I've pulled a fork from git and I'm going to start working on this. What I am going to do first is create a new item called "writeable paper" that is unstackable in the inventory and when you right-click on it the text input from signs will popup and when you hover the mouse over it will show the te...

I would think more about writing on the paper and using books to hold many papers.
