Icon Problem

[Rhys]

Hi there. I have a problem with my Minetest. My icons arent the same. Say if I craft a chest, its icon isnt a chest, its a cactus. How do I fix this? I have 0.4.6 Version of Minetest. Please comment ASAP. Thanks.

0.4.6 --> Maybe this helps you:

Ok. I'm trying it out now. :).

It happens on my worlds AND server's I go onto. I have all Settings unticked. The link dosent seem to work. I havent gone onto my worlds, yet. But I never actually play on my worlds, only servers. So, how do I fix it on servers?

The link did work for me. I don't know if it fixes the problem on servers. I never had the images error.

Here's a link for the replacing default.lua I made in dropbox:

Don't forget to copy the original default.lua to a safe place.

Didn't seem to work on my prefered server. I dont know the cause for this. My friend WhoCares did tell me to delete the cache folder in minetest directory. So, I deleted it, opened minetest, went onto my prefered server. Didnt seem to load. Closed down. Re-opened. Then I noticed something: The cache folder came back. So, that is one of the tricks gone, if you were gonna suggest it after this try.

[Topywo]

I'm almost out of suggestions. Just one left. Maybe 0.4.7 solves the problem. You should still be able to connect to 0.4.6 servers.

[Rhys]

Mmm... I can try and download 0.4.7. Just a question: Will it involve an administrator downloading the installer to 0.4.7? If so, I will have to ask my dad. Thanks for helping me, btw, Topywo.

[Rhys]

Yah, it said: You have to log on as an administrator to continue. Something like that. I'll ask my dad when he gets home.

You could try one of the builds under general discussion (sticky posts) from PilzAdam, Sfan5, Blockmen or Fess.

Edit: Those are recent/github versions.

Ill see how that works out.

[Rhys]

Ok, so Ive finally upgraded to 0.4.7. Now how do I fix it on 0.4.7? xD.

Too bad it didn't work.

I don't have this problem, so I've no way to try things out. Are the descriptions right, or also mixed up? Does it happen with nodes that (don't) have 'inventory_image' in the init.lua? Is there a pattern in the positions of the wrong icons. You could check those things and maybe solve it yourself. Perhaps changing the inventory_image or filling them in works?

tthis happened to me too on XP computers

There is a sort-of fix. Go into every lua file where a node is registered, and give it an inventory_image the same as what the nodes look like. Not easy though.

Mmm... I will do that then, if it is the only way to sort-of-fix. Well, if I cant do this, then Ill have to get another computer... D:

How do I give it a invo image, though? xD.

And, yes, I do have a Windows XP Computer.

Look at my Minetest Original Gamemode (in the game section)
Basically, say you have test:node. This is the code:

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("test:node", {
    description = "Random_Node",
    tiles = {"random_picture.png"},
    inventory_image = "random_picture.png",
    is_ground_content = true,
    groups = {cracky=3, stone=1},
    drop = 'default:stone',
    legacy_mineral = true,
    sounds = default.node_sound_stone_defaults(),
})

The 'inventory_image' bit tells it what to look like in the inventory.

Ah, thanks. Will I have to add the inventory_image bit in a separate mod, or in all the mods I have? :O

I am afraid you will have to add it to every node register in every mod if you want every node to have an inventory image :(

Hmf. Something to do, eh?

Lol, I suppose so. Good luck :)

[Rhys]

And, also, when Im done, Ill upload the default init.lua for other users. ;).

[Rhys]

Ah. Something wrong. I was doing it all right until I got an error saying about ModError for default mod. What happened? I did EVERYTHING right... D:

[Mossmanikin]

Please post the error, maybe someone can help then :)

Post the debug.txt, approximately the last 20 lines. Make sure you put a comma after the image name.
The correct line is:

inventory_image = "blahblahimage.png",

[Rhys]

Thats exactly what I did Dan.

I cant exactly remember the error. xD.
