FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

It was there before, I had my cellar's walls full of unworking tnt, it just didn't explode
Is there server side hack to make the normal tnt craftable and usable again...

Yes

I got an idea - what about a block that is exactly the same as iron TNT but, instead of blowing up a region, it only activates other TNT that's in range... it would be perfect for a TNT cannon, as currently there is no way to make a working TNT cannon without it blowing itself up. Or, make stronger blocks like mese and steel blocks ''not affected'' by the explosions, and anything ''behind'' the stronger blocks will not be destroyed...? that would be perfect for making TNT cannons, and would help a lot for my airship fleet in the sky and using the cannons to blow up the towers made by invading sky pirates...

This is great. Whenever I get a new version of minetest this is the first mod I installed but how do u make hardcore TNT (whats the other material on the sides)

Its Coal

...... My world is no longer a world because of this.... :(

This is very cool! Well done :D

Thanks!

Where do I find that?

In init.lua line 178.

is there a way to remote-detonate this? like, using mesecons? I wanted to make a trap using a pressure plate over mese TNT, but the pressure plate didn't detonate it. so then, i tried using mesecon wire to remote-detonate it, and that didn't work either.

It's quite easy to add support for mesecons. Just have a look at the developers' section at mesecons.tk. You have to register the nuke as effector.

That compatibility thing should be added to the nuke mod (not to mesecons). You could make it only execute the compatibility code if the mesecons mod is found (e.g. by trying to get the directory or checking if mesecons ~= nil)
I hope Comp52 or sfan5 can do it, I propably won't have the time in the very near future.

I sure can't do it. I have no idea how to do something like that. I'm working on my first mod, and using mostly code from someone else's mod and trying to suit my purposes with it.

Add something along these lines to the bottom of the code:



Replace "--activate TNT here" with whatever you need to do to activate the TNT.

um...I hate to have you do all the work, but I don't even know enough about the code to replace the "--activate the TNT here" line! If you could just re-write that small block of code with a line that lets it be activated either by pressure plate over it or by mesecon wiring, that would be stupendous. Thanks in advance, and sorry that I'm so illiterate in the game coding. I'm trying to learn, tho.

Certainly.

where should I put this? at the end? that didn't seem to work.

Yes, put it at the very end.

Didn't seem to work? What does that mean? Was there an error? If so, what was it? Check your debug logfile for it, if necessary.

no, no error, but when I run the game, i place a pressure plate over the TNT, stand on it, and it doesn't activate the TNT. I also tried hooking mesecons to the TNT, and it still didn't do anything(actually, it didn't connect to the TNT)

Hmm, does the TNT mod work for you? The one by PilzAdam, I mean. If it does not, then perhaps it's a different problem.

I'll see if I can get around to testing it later.

no, I don't have the dev build. I use 0.4.3. But, I know that the Nuke mod works, and I know that mesecons works, so...i dunno.

Can you make it
we can active it with mesecons

The problem was that the code didn't register the effectors:



Put this at the end of the init.lua and activate your TNT with Mesecons!

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

if minetest.get_modpath("mesecons") then
    mesecon:register_on_signal_on(function(pos, node)
        if node.name:find("^nuke:") then
            minetest.env:remove_node(pos)
            spawn_tnt(pos, node.name)
            nodeupdate(pos)
        end
    end)
end

Put this at the end of the init.lua and activate your TNT with Mesecons!

Thanks !!
now i can bully my friend

I love this mod! why do you don't add sounds now? :D

Made in an ancient version with your mod and the creative ;):

That would result in burst eardrums.

Hey Sfan5... Given the changes made recently to Mese:

http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4154

You may want to update your recipes if you're still maintaining this. Probably use two of the new Mese Blocks instead of the two old Mese objects. That's a far more expensive recipe, but IMHO it should be anyway given the craft result. :-)
