bloqus_brick

Minetest mod for adding fancy bricks blocks

install

Simply copy inside mods directory and enable it

files

• init.lua: base file, load others
• functions.lua: collection of useful functions
• bricks.lua: nodes definitions
• test.lua: nodes definitions used during develpment for testing, normally unused
• generate_test.sh: bash script for generating "test.lua"

generate_test.sh instruction

If you wish to use generate_test.sh for testing other textures or in other mods, here are how to use it:

• copy your texture in the textures directory
• go to the mod directory
• launch ./generate_test.sh
• a file called test.lua is generated: it define a function returning an array of nodes, using the filename of every texture as a base, doing some basic operations:
  • ".png" will be removed
  • if the filename ends with "-sp", "-sp" is removed in node name and description, and the node is registered with stairsplus
  • "-" will become space in description and _ in node name
  • "test_" will be added to the node name

so "something-very-good.png" will become a node "something very good" identified by "bloqus_bricks:test_something_very_good", and "something-sloppy-sp.png" will become a node "something sloppy" identified by "bloqus_bricks:test_something_sloppy" and is registered with stairsplus so you can use it in saw and have slopes, etc non-png files will be ignored

in init.lua find this lines and comment the dofile (this will prevent loading real blocks)

-- load real nodes
dofile(modpath.."/bricks.lua")

and then uncomment this dofile (this will load test nodes)

-- load *test* nodes
-- dofile(modpath.."/test.lua")
