Have you tried launching a copy of the map with ignore_world_load_errors?

Ok, schade. I have redone the rail models, they have the power lines integrated now. For the masts, I will use mbb's model and some code from the cabels.lua you wrote. I think that's ok for you. I don't want many different types of trains in the core modpack, but rather let the community (you) do mo...

That's good to hear :]

What I've tried now: - Copy the required object to a new blender file - add 2 materials into two slots and assign the right materials to faces - selected a dummy color grid and a dummy uv grid as textures, one for each material slot - assigned the texture to the faces by selecting the uvs and swappi...

Spent 5 hours redoing the rail models, but ran into a problem with the slopes and multiple textures for a mesh (see modding questions thread). If I can resolve it tomorrow, there's still some work to be done to get the powerlines to work, then I will release a new version. This new version then incl...

@TumeniNodes, I just overflew your code, but did you set walkable=true for the upper node? I think not... If a node is not walkable, nothing will collide with it, independent of if a collision box is set. EDIT: probably not of interest for the problem (raised drawbridge...), but indeed, it's not wal...

So, detector rails rotate after a train rolls over them? I have no idea...
Lighting bugs are a concern of the engine, I can't do much about it...

This mod is a maze generator I started this to implement a maze generation algorithm that I use when I draw mazes on paper. The result is not exactly this algorithm since computers are apparently too dumb for it, but it's worth to be shared anyway. Things you need to know about the mazes: - Start a...

i made a first test of traincabels: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=9280&sid=ba3f9d7c17a8fb2eb1a1402cdb58512a i want to make them with the tracks api but i don´t understandt it @orwell can you help me with the understanding? Of course. Nice models. However I though...

I don't mean a subway map but a world map. That subway map is nice.

Can you please create an overview map with the python mapper (in util directory)?

Replacements in crafting recipe definition. Look in lua_api.txt

Sneak and your use key, and hold it down for some time.
Or hold sneak and right-click.
The manual is a bit outdated.

The rotation of a node is stored in 'param2'
local node=minetest.get_node(pos)
local param2=node.param2
--set node
minetest.set_node(pos, {name="whatever", param2=param2})

I know
See viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14834

Thx for the compliment

Is this a reference to the knockback thread?
If not, please tell me what makes you think so :)

1.6.7
Fixed getting on by walking in on high platforms
Fixed collisions
Fixed placing rails on non-solid nodes

AFAIK, the root bone of any object is called "" (empty string)

I have not been working on this mod for a long time. There are some other alternatives around which can keep up to and are better than my mod in some aspects, some are worse. I also won't continue developing this except if you have revolutionary ideas. Player vending machines can be used as infinite...

1.6.6
- fixed warning about playersbypts
- fixed crash above
- fixed mesecon switch operation
- correct dependency for luaautomation on mesecon_switch instead of mesecon.

Encountered a show-stopping bug: A player experimented with the atc stuff, now the server crashes on startup: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: environment_Step: Runtime error from mod 'advtrains' in callback environment_Step(): ...st/world/worldmods/advtrains/advtrains/advtrains/atc.lua:43: atte...

We've discovered an issue with the mod: The overwrites in advtrains/advtrains_luaautomation/p_mesecon_iface.lua cause a) two switches to appear in creative inventory (not a biggie), b) all switches cannot hold their state any more. After about 2-10 seconds, they switch back to their old state. I fi...

Apparently you read my mail.
That warning is not dangerous, just an unused parameter that gets ignored anyway.

That issue you explained with advtrains is now fixed.

I won't fix this 'feature' in near future since some early automations still use it to pass wrong switches.
However 1.6.5 Bugfix
Just that crash #34

We could talk about this in IRC if you like (#minetest).

No not exactly. The .name went elsewhere. IRC not today.

I guess you get an error "attempt to index a string" Your local var "node" is misleading, since it's a node name and not a node table representation. local node=minetest.get_node(pos) If node.name=="whatever" then mt.set_node(pos, {name="whatever", param2=node...

Everything inside {} is a table definition. Statements like key=value, declare a new table entry. So, if you define replace_model inside the {}, they become a member of the definition table. You can't access values of a table from functions defined in that table unless you can reference the whole ta...

I have a maths related question. I can make an entity rotate so that it matches the player's yaw. Now I'm trying to make the entity 'catch-up' to the player's yaw. There's a problem with this though. When the player's yaw crosses 0/2pi the difference between the player's yaw and the entity's yaw ma...
