oops, i thought i had edited my post, i had tested it and saw, that pipeworks adds a digiline filter if digiline is activated
ah, now i know what you have meant with digiline controlled sorting pipe, i thought you mean: dont make a normal lua pipe, only sorting

Wings that work kinda like in minecraft this would make traveling easier.

Is this what you had in mind? https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11257

I think a legit Elytra style wings would be better. It would be cool to be able to glide, and in other view modes have the player actually be horizontal with 3D wings.

The gliding bit I can do, but making the player horizontal would be hard.

[DS-minetest]

making the player horizontal would be hard.

hm, set the lay animation(x=162,y=167) and set the properties scale to y= -1, so that the player looks down

[GreenDimond]

The gliding bit I can do

Make sure physics work. If player looks down more, then they go down more. If they look up, then up more (etc...). The player is always going down though, because gravity. Going straight up causes a "stall" and then they fall down. Also, hitting something causes the player to fall slightly with the ability to recover (going down to pick up speed and then back up again) or if they cant recover then they fall at a slightly slower rate than with no elytra. I am sure you can figure it out xD

[ABJ]

How about just simulating a force that acts on the -y direction relative to the wing as speed increases? It should do all the above without the long explanation. Since, that's what all real wings do anyway.
And IIRC forces to slow the glider down can be implemented with just a wee few of code.

O.o would that actually work?

edit:
I just had a good idea, what if the texture of a craftitem or tool could be used to generate a nodebox drawtype node(maybe 1/16th of the height of a normal node), so that the item/tool could be placed? Then the on_rightclick or on_use function of the item could be changed to place the node.

I want a chunk-based land protection mod, where all "areas" are exactly 16^3 nodes (one chunk) and aligned perfectly with the world chunk system. The only mod that does this, 0gb_us Land Claim (the original one), is no longer available at the website 0gb.us, because it's gone, so I can't use it unless someone happens to have an archive/"saved" copy, and I have not had much luck finding someone who has a copy.

So a new one will have to be made. I am considering modifying the mod landclaim_0gb_us which is part of 0gb.us_game subgame, but that will be complex since the claim-block has been replaced with a command, and the mod depends on the mod points_0gb_us to cost the player something in order to claim an area. Also, since it is so old, the builtin minetest system has likely changed a lot, and several functions would probably be deprecated and need to be rewritten entirely, even in the original 0gb_us Land Claim mod - so it would most likely be better if someone makes a whole new one "from scratch", which I don't yet have the experience to do. Maybe someday I will be capable, but that's not yet. If I went ahead and tried to make it now, it wouldn't work well, and it would probably have some nasty exploits.

[ABJ]

Such a mod maybe good in MC, with it's pathetic world height, but seriously, how many people care about 60 whole km of vertical space?

A cubic protection system would appear to be more appropriate IMHO.

[Byakuren]

Factions mod does this, but it often has bugs and probably adds more stuff than you want.

[ABJ]

Factions? You mean cubic or chunk?

[GreenDimond]

Factions? You mean cubic or chunk?

No no no no no! lol. Factions is a mod that adds sort of "groups", "clubs", or "clans" to the game. Flags and stuff.

[ABJ]

No I mean cubic or chunk protection. R E A D T H E P R E V I O U S P A G E

[GreenDimond]

No I mean cubic or chunk protection. R E A D T H E P R E V I O U S P A G E

I did lol xD The FACTIONS MOD has CHUNK PROTECTION. All I was saying was that the factions mod is well, what I already said previously. The factions mod was what I said (clans and such) that has PROTECTION in it. And other things most likely. What you said before, sounded like you thought that "factions" meant cubic/chunk protections. Its just a mod name that includes that feature in it.

Hello,
I feel it curious : in game, we need to extract cobblestone and cooking it in a furnace, to get stone and to cut it in stone brick.

In real world, from middle age, we extracted directly stone block from stratum with tool called "taillant" or "laye" (i don't know english word, sorry), it's look like an axe. www.pierres-info.fr/taillant_a_pierre. This tool used to extract soft or hard stone : basalt, limestone, desert stone, etc.

I suggest to made a little mod with new tool to extract stone block. How can i do it ?
It would be a little more realistic.

Thank every body.

[ABJ]

Yeah. I've been thinking of such a thing for a time. I'll have to take a look in the code(s).

[DS-minetest]

hihi it did work:

code of node i punched:

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_node("parachute:testnode", {
   description = "parachute test",
   tiles = {"default_wood.png"},
   groups = {choppy = 2, oddly_breakable_by_hand = 2},
   sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(),

   on_punch = function(pos, node, puncher, pointed_thing)
      puncher:set_properties({visual_size = {x=-1, y=-1}})   --x=-1 because else the player would point towards the 3rd person camera and not the 2nd person camera
      puncher:set_animation({x=162, y=167}, 0, 0)
   end,
})

[D00Med]

Thanks, I couldn't get that to happen!

[DS-minetest]

Thanks, I couldn't get that to happen!

it took me only ~10 minutes... (maybe the bit experience with entities i have helped)

[GreenDimond]

For the "Elytra" I am assuming a 3D model will be used on the player, so maybe you can allow customizable textures? Such as: texture is mirrored on top and bottom, and maybe on both sides (on both sides if you are doing MC style). The side texture (1pixel tall prob) could be used from furthest most pixel(s) of the top texture, so the player only has to make one texture, and not 3-4. Have like an outline of how to make the texture or something. IDK if that makes any sense to you, but im sure you can figure it out. I am not that good at modding yet, so I will let you do the mod stuffs for this. :)

No, this is not MC chest because "Just hold shift and place a chest onto another one's side." Large chest posted here by me not need to hold button or something else, just put 2 small chest near (left or right) and will be created Large chest automatically. This forum don't have that Large chest.

You could steal some models from my mod: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15399
They are .obj not nodebox though.

That old factions mod is pretty lacking. It was nice for the features it includes, but it hasn't been updated since 2013 and there is actually not any chunk claim feature. It would make sense that claimed chunks are exactly 16^3 nodes in size, and aligned with the world chunk system - however, there is not even an area protection mod available which does this, except for that old 0gb.us land claim mod (the original one, not the subgame!) that can't be downloaded because the website is gone.

In order to help others develop a better factions mod, and enable others to use cubic chunk protection for other purposes, I suggest that someone make a mod for cubic chunk protection. You could probably use some code from the 0gb.us subgame on github, but it will need to be modified heavily in order to get it to work as a stand-alone mod (it depends on some other mod, a points system, which hinders its usage especially since the points system is designed to work with the subgame and doesn't really make any sense outside of it)... We just need a simple function to change ownership of the chunk at some position, then others can make a tool or node that executes the function when it is used or placed. It would be nice if the resulting code does not have to be modified in order to work with a factions mod, but that will be complex because ownership of a chunk by a single player is a lot simpler than ownership of a chunk by an entire faction, and it is a lot simpler to keep up with a single player than it is to keep up with a faction that may have any number of different players at any time.

That's a whole symbols mod.
Better if you learn about nodeboxes.
