Got the problem cleared up by running the server in creative mode. It really should be possible to dig a misplaced elevator in normal mode.

Posted: **Fri Oct 17, 2014 18:54**

It is possible to dig a misplaced elevator or travelnet. It might require configuration first - which ought to be no big problem (just enter dummy text into the fields). What isn't possible is digging something in front of the elevator while you're standing inside it.

It looks good in the sample image. I'm just afraid that it might work out less well once the station names get longer. Formspecs are a bit difficult in that apsect.

You can set a limit for the name length. Generally, when people are forced to make things short, they think more and better choose their names or words.

That's true, although it ought to be descriptive enough as well. Still, fiddling with the text fields there is troublesome, especially when using a larger font. Perhaps something like "Station name [21*]" or something like that might work.

Agree with that. There's also a better star in the ASCII code (★) : ★

Im having an issue with the mod crashing my minetest server. I'm running version 4.10. Also its reporting a save data file is missing. How can I create it?

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

l added up and down arrows to the elevator to use it faster and without annoying formspec.
You only need to punch the elevator aiming an arrow.

The arrows currently "respect the 16x16 texture size":

I've found 2 problems:
1: when inside an elevator/travelnet box, you can't open the elevator doors because the hitbox for the teleporter surrounds you
2: if you push the elevator with a piston so there's a block where the top half was, then move it again or break it, it will destroy the block.

Other than that, this is a really awesome and useful mod.

It would be cool if there was another "less overpowered" teleporter, like the elevator but able to move in any direction, as long as it's a straight line (only one coordinate changes)

because then it would be harder to set up; less overpowered.

That's why it has those "<>" buttons in front of the station name. Click on that button to open/close the door - like with a real elevator.

That's a common problem with all 2-nodes-wide objects and pistons. There's no easy solution for that I'm afraid.

https://github.com/Sokomine/travelnet/b ... or.lua#L93
your on_destruct function doesn't test if the node above is "travelnet:elevator_top" before removing it,
see https://github.com/HybridDog/diamonds/b ... t.lua#L173

It doesn't happen with normal travelnet boxes...

That's right. They use diffrent mechanisms. For the travelnets, I used a nodebox that's just bigger than a node. The elevators where written by someone else who thought it'd be cleaner to use a second node - which causes other types of problems (which you see here). Neither solution is perfect.

I haven't noticed any problems with the first system; sure, you can use pistons to put another node in the top half of the travelnet box, but that's a good thing, since you can put signs there!

The appearance of the travelnet stations and elevators has changed a bit: They received a nice mesh and optimized textures by VanessaE. The old 512px textures where removed (you can find versions in hdx texture packs). The stations now look like this:

A steel ingot ought to work perfectly fine. It's what you get when you melt iron ore in a furnace.

Maybe you ought to install a craft guide then. Please try unified_inventory. It helps a lot with crafting receipes.

A very good mod

Hi

Quick question: I have travelnet elevator installed but for some reason it doesn't transport to other stations. they are 15000 meters apart.
they are in same network, i.e. right on top of each other in x, z coord.

Posted: **Fri Oct 09, 2015 04:59**

I've produced an experimental release of the travelnet mod with several changes. Hopefully, Sokomine will be able to incorporate them. If not, after the mod is tested, I'll probably release it as a fork.

People are invited to test the new release. Important: Map files and travelnet data files should be backed-up first. The current link is:

http://minetest.org/travelnet.zip

Here's a summary of the changes:

* I've added a travelnet reset tool named "travelnet:reset". The tool requires the "server" priv. Admins can use the tool to simplify moves or renames of travelnets and cleanup of damaged travelnet data files.

* There seem to be two bugs in the standard travelnet mod related to field names. Specifically, two formspecs write owner name to "owner_name" as opposed to "owner". This caused problems and has been fixed.

* Players with the "travelnet_attach" privilege can now create travel networks for other players as well as add to them. This solves problems for some admin operations.

* The standard travelnet control-panel texture is a bit unclear. Players don't know what to click on. I've restored an alternate texture that was used in the past.

Details related to the travelnet reset tool:

* Back-up both "map.sqlite" files and "mod_travelnet.data" files before trying the new tool.

* The tool will damage travel networks if it's used improperly. It should only be carried or wielded when needed.

* To use the tool, wield it, left-click on a travelnet that you'd like to reset, wield just your hand, left-click again, then right-click and wait a moment. The travelnet should be reset and a formspec should appear that allows new information to be entered.

* Existing entries in the travelnet database with matching positions will be deleted. Additionally, meta information in the selected node will be reset.

* If you specify complete information in the formspec, existing entries in the travelnet database with matching information will be deleted. Additionally, the associated travelnets will be reset.

* UjEdwin and TenPlus1 are contributors to the new mod. UjEdwin wrote the ownerhack mod, which showed me how to create the reset tool. TenPlus1 directed my attention to the mod in question.

* Travelnets that are reset may not reflect their new state until you do the usual travelnet update step; i.e., wield just your hand and left-click on a travelnet.

* There is a known bug, either in the MT core or in travelnets, where travelnets may not work if anything is located right behind them. My version of the mod does not presently address this issue.

Ok, I solved this problem after delete mod_travelnet.data and restart server, It's work fine now.
