[MOD] Tool ranks [toolranks]

[Mineminer]

Love your mod, but last night ran into this error(game crash):

Code: Select all

This happened when using any hoe other than default hoes. The error stopped only when mod was disabled or removed.

You wull need to add support for it manually, like I did here:

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("toolranks") then
--aikerum   
  minetest.override_item("es:pick_aikerum", {
    original_description = "Extreme Survival Aikerum Pickaxe",
    description = toolranks.create_description("Extreme Survival Aikerum Pickaxe", 0, 1),
    after_use = toolranks.new_afteruse})

  minetest.override_item("es:axe_aikerum", {
    original_description = "Extreme Survival Aikerum Axe",
    description = toolranks.create_description("Extreme Survival Aikerum Axe", 0, 1),
    after_use = toolranks.new_afteruse})

  minetest.override_item("es:shovel_aikerum", {
    original_description = "Extreme Survival Aikerum Shovel",
    description = toolranks.create_description("Extreme Survival Aikerum Shovel", 0, 1),
    after_use = toolranks.new_afteruse})
end


Add code like this in a new mod and do it for all the tools you want to add.

So you means for the more ores tools ( viewtopic.php?id=549 ) a new mod would has to be created just to prevent them from cashing the server?

[lisacvuk]

No, it means the more ores mod needs to support this if it is to work correctly.
The server admin can add the support manually.

[EdShouldBeInBed]

So, partly as practice in coding and partly just to expand support, I made a little mod.
It's here. It extends the coverage of toolranks to:
bacon
glooptest
magma and ice mp
technic aluminum

Seems to work on my local game, but if you have any of these mods installed do try it.

What this does is add levels to tools depending on number of nodes you've dug with that tool.
Higher level tools take longer to wear out.

I'm using your mod since a long time and I find it very useful, thanks for your work.
Earlier I was repairing a sword and I thought if it could be possible to apply the same principle to weapons, it would be nice to have them record the number of killed mobs!
Another feature I would like to see is localized messages, is there any chance that you add Intllib support?

Thanks for trying it out :)
There are a few mobs mods out there, with pretty much different APIs, so it would be hard to support all of them. Might just support mobs_redo once.
IIRC there is another way to do translations in .5, I'm waiting for that one.

That would be cool :)

Good to know, I'll stay tuned.

How about to add sword and hoe to mod of tool rank?

Will be too much useful with anvil mod

[GamingAssociation39]

This resembles a mod out there for MC that has similar functionality

[TenPlus1]

bosapara: swords were just added a few weeks ago and if you use farming redo then hoe's use toolranks also.

good news, thats awesome!

__________________________

Sword is easy to add (only for dig, not for punch), but hoe a few hard

[TenPlus1]

Toolrank swords will still count it's uses when hitting mobs redo mobs :) not just digging leaves etc.

[Lord_Vlad]

Swords is kinda unbalanced in the fact that if you hold hit, you will hit fast for a few damages, but it will count as a ton of uses according to tool ranks.
Add to that that they last forever to start with, in my opinion...

Thanks for this mod, unfortunatly, it's not working anymore with 5.0 server update from 4.17.1 (server can't load others mods when toolranks is activated)
