[Mod] More Blocks [moreblocks]

[Onyx]

Hi,

I agree with your previous message.
I also noticed that cuts were missing in the circular saw interface and I realized that this was related to the fact that the remaining section is that of a panel.
Over time, I learned that it was necessary to make more open angles to obtain an acceptable shape.

Have a good day and good build,

Onyx

It is a pity that the developer does not take a look inside this Thread or leaves something for us...

I think it is - or will be - moved to minetest-mods repository on GitHub, where it can be maintained by a larger group.

It's already in the minetest-mods organization :)

I've been fixing many issues in More Ores recently and am doing the same on many other repositories of mine; I just committed a fix for the Stairs+ node placement rotation issue. I'm sorry it took so long, I was busy working on other projects and was involved in a full-time internship at the same time (and I wanted to make sure the fix worked well on both 0.4.17 and 5.0.0-dev).

In the Main i need the 4 Slabs i showed in the last both Photos. None of the existing Tiles out of the Saw can fit the empty Edges correctly, no matter in what Rotation. So 4 more Slabs are needed to do that.

I'm not sure about adding more Stairs+ nodes, we have a lot of nodes to display in the circular saw already.

Hey ...
I'd like to use moreblocks on a Marssurvive-Server. I use SciFi-Nodes, too, and will add other material from an own Mod.

How can I add more types of Blocks to be useable in the circular-saw? And what are the needed steps?

Thanks ... Birgit

The newest scifi-nodes mod (https://github.com/D00Med/scifi_nodes) registers all (!) nodes on the circular saw, so if you are on the latest version, you don't have to do anything... :)

For your own nodes, you can use

Code: Select all

stairsplus:register_all()

like in the scifi-nodes mod: https://github.com/D00Med/scifi_nodes/b ... s.lua#L167 (i think thats an alias to the moreblocks circularsaw...)

[BirgitLachner]

Thanks for the (first) hints. The block I wanted to use in the circular saw was not from SciFi-Nodes.

But now ... I tried to understand the example-code in SciFi-Nodes and tried to register a block in an own mod to use it in the circular saw of "moreblocks".

In the mod the block is defined as ...

minetest.register_node("startest_decorative:floor_blue", {
description = "Floor blue",
tiles = {"spaceship_floor_blue.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png"},
groups = {cracky = 1, wood = 1},
paramtype2 = "facedir",
})

Follwing the instruction in the API documentation for Stairs+ I have this code in init.lua.

if minetest.global_exists("stairplus") then
stairplus:register_all("startest_decorative", "floor_blue", "startest_decorative:floor_blue", {
description = "Floor blue",
tiles = {"spaceship_floor_blue.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png","spaceship_wall_basic.png"},
paramtype = "light",
groups = {cracky = 1, wood = 1},
light_source = 0,
paramtype2 = "facedir",
})
end

There is no error and the games starts, but the block is not accepted.

What needs to be changed.

Could you try running a More Blocks version prior to commit e622c692e (e.g. with this ZIP archive)? I'm wondering if making some functions local broke external mods calling it (but it still seems to work within More Blocks).

[BirgitLachner]

Hi ...
I tried that, in Minetest 5 and Minetest 0.4.17. Both same thing.

[Festus1965]

moreblocks is running at me on both versions, just updated last week for 5.0.0
in the code parts 3 posts up i count 3 open { but only 2 } closing ...

[BirgitLachner]

There is no error. The line with the tiles is not shown completly.

Do you have a public repo with the code?

[BirgitLachner]

Not yet ... II do not have so much experience to publish the program to Github or Gitlab. It will take some time. But I can do it.
