Adds two new nodes, "door_wood" and "doorhandle_wood". You make a door by adding regular door pieces and adding the handle node at the edge of the door. Make sure the handle node is only touching one regular door node horizontally or it will not be able to find the right pivot point. Also, make sure there are empty nodes where the door will move to or it will not move. To open or close punch the handle with your hand. Minimum door width is 2 and no maximum. There can be a short lag between when the door moves and the updated nodes are sent to the client. Door should open away from you.

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?

Also, your crafting recipe shouldn't use steel_ingot as a node, it's a craft item :)

Yea, I saw that and fixed it.

I did this kinda quick and it is not the best it could be. I was thinking of using a different drawtype but I just wanted to get it working before I started worrying about how it looks. I'll need to see a picture of the door that isn't working, because I've tried different sizes and shapes (they need not be rectangular, but handle must be at farthest point from pivot point and placed last).

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 beginning position, without that it could go all the way around. Now that I think about it, I need to add a check to make sure the moving door doesn't clobber pre-existing blocks.

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 just under where it says TAGS: click to add tags

Feel free to do whatever you want with this code. I made the textures really quick so as to be very obvious.

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

Posted: **Sat Dec 17, 2011 22:49**

This is COOL mod. I've already implemeted it. 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 it you should destroy the knob first, otherwise the door would be unbreakable...

Is it possible to make signs open with door when placed? it would be even cooler!
Thank you for this mod!

Good ideas. I've been thinking of having it work a little differently so I will look into these issues in the next few days.

Version 2 is up on Gitorious. It is almost a complete rewrite. Eveerything is calculated when the handle is hit, so the handle doesn't have to be placed last and you can change the shape of the door without causing problems. The next update will include more door types.

NOTE: If you used the old version you will have to reset all the old doors. If they are in the closed position already you just need to remove and replace the handle pieces.

Doesn't seem to load.

This is what the debug says with doors mod in the mods folder. With it outside Minetest loads:

18:27:32: ERROR[main]: Some exception, what()="LuaError: Stack is over 30 (reality check)
18:27:32: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:"

I wonder if you could put the whole debug.txt from when you try to load it. I can't think of were this error is coming from unless it is because you have a lot of mods running at once.

Looking at were it crashed (scriptapi.cpp line 85 from line 2716) it looks like you may have a lot of mods running and I think that is causing the lua stack to overflow. I'm not sure if you are building from source but try upping the numbers in the realitycheck() function and anywhere you see "assert(lua_checkstack(L, 20));" in the scriptapi.cpp function and see if that fixes the problem.

Funny thing that the code sets the stack size to at least 20 (which is the default in the lua code) but errors where it is over 30.

Won't load up for me. There is an error with the lua file.

There is no other additional mods running than what was already in the 0.4dev.
Nor is there any other errors in the debug logfile.

Your error is because you changed the name of the mod's directory but not the prefix on the nodes. Just replace "doors:" with "randomproofs_minetest_mods_doors:"

Okay Thanks :D. Anyway, when you download it (not clone it) it gets names "randomproofs_minetest_mods_doors". Just a FYI.

how do you use the gates?

MrThebuilder3 wrote:how do you use the gates?

Same as if they were door pieces. I've changed the inventory textures a little to make it easier to tell the gate from the gate handle nodes. I'm not good at textures and fence pieces are wrapped around the shape in a funny way.

Maybe after the holiday I will see if I can put together a video demoing the door pieces.
