<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Content and functionality can be added to Minetest 0.4 by using Lua
|
||
|
|
scripting in run-time loaded mods.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A mod is a self-contained bunch of scripts, textures and other related
|
||
|
|
things that is loaded by and interfaces with Minetest.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mods are contained and ran solely on the server side. Definitions and media
|
||
|
|
files are automatically transferred to the client.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you see a deficiency in the API, feel free to attempt to add the
|
||
|
|
functionality in the engine and API. You can send such improvements as
|
||
|
|
source code patches to <a href="mailto:celeron55@gmail.com">celeron55@gmail.com</a>.</p>

|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Startup</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mods are loaded during server startup from the mod load paths by running
|
||
|
|
the <code>init.lua</code> scripts in a shared environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Paths</h2>

<h2>Games</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Games are looked up from:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$path_share/games/gameid/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$path_user/games/gameid/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>where <code>gameid</code> is unique to each game.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The game directory contains the file <code>game.conf</code>, which contains these fields:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>name = <Human-readable full name of the game>
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>e.g.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>name = Minetest
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The game directory can contain the file minetest.conf, which will be used
|
||
|
|
to set default settings when running the particular game.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Mod load path</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Generic:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$path_share/games/gameid/mods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$path_share/mods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$path_user/games/gameid/mods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$path_user/mods/</code> (User-installed mods)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$worldpath/worldmods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In a run-in-place version (e.g. the distributed windows version):</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>minetest-0.4.x/games/gameid/mods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>minetest-0.4.x/mods/</code> (User-installed mods)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>minetest-0.4.x/worlds/worldname/worldmods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>On an installed version on Linux:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>/usr/share/minetest/games/gameid/mods/</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$HOME/.minetest/mods/</code> (User-installed mods)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>$HOME/.minetest/worlds/worldname/worldmods</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Mod load path for world-specific games</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>It is possible to include a game in a world; in this case, no mods or
|
||
|
|
games are loaded or checked from anywhere else.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This is useful for e.g. adventure worlds.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This happens if the following directory exists:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>$world/game/
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mods should be then be placed in:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>$world/game/mods/
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Modpack support</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mods can be put in a subdirectory, if the parent directory, which otherwise
|
||
|
|
should be a mod, contains a file named <code>modpack.txt</code>. This file shall be
|
||
|
|
empty, except for lines starting with <code>#</code>, which are comments.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Mod directory structure</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>mods
|
||
|
|
|-- modname
|
||
|
|
| |-- depends.txt
|
||
|
|
| |-- screenshot.png
|

|
|

|
|
| |-- sounds
|

|
|
| |-- media
|
||
|
|
| `-- <custom data>
|
||
|
|
`-- another
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>modname</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The location of this directory can be fetched by using
|
||
|
|
<code>minetest.get_modpath(modname)</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>depends.txt</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>List of mods that have to be loaded before loading this mod.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A single line contains a single modname.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Optional dependencies can be defined by appending a question mark
|
||
|
|
to a single modname. Their meaning is that if the specified mod
|
||
|
|
is missing, that does not prevent this mod from being loaded.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>screenshot.png</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A screenshot shown in modmanager within mainmenu.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>description.txt</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A File containing description to be shown within mainmenu.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>init.lua</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The main Lua script. Running this script should register everything it
|
||
|
|
wants to register. Subsequent execution depends on minetest calling the
|
||
|
|
registered callbacks.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>minetest.setting_get(name)</code> and <code>minetest.setting_getbool(name)</code> can be used
|
||
|
|
to read custom or existing settings at load time, if necessary.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>models</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Models for entities or meshnodes.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>textures</code>, <code>sounds</code>, <code>media</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Media files (textures, sounds, whatever) that will be transferred to the
|
||
|
|
client and will be available for use by the mod.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Naming convention for registered textual names</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Registered names should generally be in this format:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>"modname:<whatever>" (<whatever> can have characters a-zA-Z0-9_)
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This is to prevent conflicting names from corrupting maps and is
|
||
|
|
enforced by the mod loader.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Example</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In the mod <code>experimental</code>, there is the ideal item/node/entity name <code>tnt</code>.
|
||
|
|
So the name should be <code>experimental:tnt</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Enforcement can be overridden by prefixing the name with <code>:</code>. This can
|
||
|
|
be used for overriding the registrations of some other mod.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example: Any mod can redefine <code>experimental:tnt</code> by using the name</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>:experimental:tnt
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>when registering it.
|
||
|
|
(also that mod is required to have <code>experimental</code> as a dependency)</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>:</code> prefix can also be used for maintaining backwards compatibility.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Aliases</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Aliases can be added by using <code>minetest.register_alias(name, convert_to)</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This will make Minetest to convert things called name to things called
|
||
|
|
<code>convert_to</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This can be used for maintaining backwards compatibility.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This can be also used for setting quick access names for things, e.g. if
|
||
|
|
you have an item called <code>epiclylongmodname:stuff</code>, you could do</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>minetest.register_alias("stuff", "epiclylongmodname:stuff")
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>and be able to use <code>/giveme stuff</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Textures</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mods should generally prefix their textures with <code>modname_</code>, e.g. given
|
||
|
|
the mod name <code>foomod</code>, a texture could be called:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>foomod_foothing.png
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Textures are referred to by their complete name, or alternatively by
|
||
|
|
stripping out the file extension:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>e.g. <code>foomod_foothing.png</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>e.g. <code>foomod_foothing</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Texture modifiers</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There are various texture modifiers that can be used
|
||
|
|
to generate textures on-the-fly.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Texture overlaying</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Textures can be overlaid by putting a <code>^</code> between them.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>default_dirt.png^default_grass_side.png
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>default_grass_side.png</code> is overlayed over <code>default_dirt.png</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Texture grouping</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Textures can be grouped together by enclosing them in <code>(</code> and <code>)</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example: <code>cobble.png^(thing1.png^thing2.png)</code></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A texture for <code>thing1.png^thing2.png</code> is created and the resulting
|
||
|
|
texture is overlaid over <code>cobble.png</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Advanced texture modifiers</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>[crack:<n>:<p></code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><n></code> = animation frame count</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><p></code> = current animation frame</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Draw a step of the crack animation on the texture.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>default_cobble.png^[crack:10:1
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>[combine:<w>x<h>:<x1>,<y1>=<file1>:<x2>,<y2>=<file2></code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><w></code> = width</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><h></code> = height</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><x1></code>/<code><x2></code> = x positions</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><y1></code>/<code><y1></code> = y positions</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code><file1></code>/<code><file2></code> = textures to combine</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Create a texture of size <code><w></code> times <code><h></code> and blit <code><file1></code> to (<code><x1></code>,<code><y1></code>)
|
||
|
|
and blit <code><file2></code> to (<code><x2></code>,<code><y2></code>).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>[combine:16x32:0,0=default_cobble.png:0,16=default_wood.png
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>[brighten</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Brightens the texture.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>tnt_tnt_side.png^[brighten
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>[noalpha</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Makes the texture completely opaque.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>default_leaves.png^[noalpha

|
|
||
|
|
<p>Rotates and/or flips the image.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code><t></code> can be a number (between 0 and 7) or a transform name.
|
||
|
|
Rotations are counter-clockwise.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>0 I identity

|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>[inventorycube{grass.png{dirt.png&grass_side.png{dirt.png&grass_side.png

<h2>Sounds</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Only Ogg Vorbis files are supported.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For positional playing of sounds, only single-channel (mono) files are
|
||
|
|
supported. Otherwise OpenAL will play them non-positionally.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Mods should generally prefix their sounds with <code>modname_</code>, e.g. given
|
||
|
|
the mod name "<code>foomod</code>", a sound could be called:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>foomod_foosound.ogg
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Sounds are referred to by their name with a dot, a single digit and the
|
||
|
|
file extension stripped out. When a sound is played, the actual sound file
|
||
|
|
is chosen randomly from the matching sounds.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When playing the sound <code>foomod_foosound</code>, the sound is chosen randomly
|
||
|
|
from the available ones of the following files:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>foomod_foosound.ogg</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>foomod_foosound.0.ogg</code></li>
|

<li><code>foomod_foosound.1.ogg</code></li>
|

|
|
<li>(...)</li>
|

|
|
<li><code>foomod_foosound.9.ogg</code></li>
|

<h2>Nodes</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Nodes are the bulk data of the world: cubes and other things that take the
|
||
|
|
space of a cube. Huge amounts of them are handled efficiently, but they
|
||
|
|
are quite static.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The definition of a node is stored and can be accessed by name in</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>minetest.registered_nodes[node.name]
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>See "Registered definitions of stuff".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Nodes are passed by value between Lua and the engine.
|
||
|
|
They are represented by a table:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{name="name", param1=num, param2=num}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>param1</code> and <code>param2</code> are 8-bit integers. The engine uses them for certain
|
||
|
|
automated functions. If you don't use these functions, you can use them to
|
||
|
|
store arbitrary values.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The functions of <code>param1</code> and <code>param2</code> are determined by certain fields in the
|
||
|
|
node definition:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>param1</code> is reserved for the engine when <code>paramtype != "none"</code>:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>paramtype = "light"
|
||
|
|
^ The value stores light with and without sun in it's
|
||
|
|
upper and lower 4 bits.
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>param2</code> is reserved for the engine when any of these are used:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>liquidtype == "flowing"
|
||
|
|
^ The level and some flags of the liquid is stored in param2
|
||
|

drawtype == "flowingliquid"
|

|
|
^ The drawn liquid level is read from param2
|
||
|
|
drawtype == "torchlike"
|
||
|
|
drawtype == "signlike"
|
||
|
|
paramtype2 == "wallmounted"
|
||
|
|
^ The rotation of the node is stored in param2. You can make this value
|
||
|
|
by using minetest.dir_to_wallmounted().
|
||
|
|
paramtype2 == "facedir"
|
||
|
|
^ The rotation of the node is stored in param2. Furnaces and chests are
|
||
|
|
rotated this way. Can be made by using minetest.dir_to_facedir().
|
||
|
|
Values range 0 - 23
|

facedir modulo 4 = axisdir
|
||

0 = y+ 1 = z+ 2 = z- 3 = x+ 4 = x- 5 = y-

<h2>Node boxes</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Node selection boxes are defined using "node boxes"</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>nodebox</code> node drawtype allows defining visual of nodes consisting of
|
||
|
|
arbitrary number of boxes. It allows defining stuff like stairs. Only the
|
||
|
|
<code>fixed</code> and <code>leveled</code> box type is supported for these.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Please note that this is still experimental, and may be incompatibly
|
||
|
|
changed in the future.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A nodebox is defined as any of:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{
|
||
|
|
-- A normal cube; the default in most things
|
||
|
|
type = "regular"
|
||
|

{
|

wall_bottom = box,
|

|
|
wall_side = box
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A <code>box</code> is defined as:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A box of a regular node would look like:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5},
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>type = "leveled"</code> is same as <code>type = "fixed"</code>, but <code>y2</code> will be automatically
|
||
|
|
set to level from <code>param2</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Meshes</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If drawtype <code>mesh</code> is used, tiles should hold model materials textures.
|
||
|
|
Only static meshes are implemented.
|
||
|
|
For supported model formats see Irrlicht engine documentation.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Noise Parameters</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Noise Parameters, or commonly called "<code>NoiseParams</code>", define the properties of perlin noise.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>offset</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Offset that the noise is translated by (i.e. added) after calculation.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>scale</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Factor that the noise is scaled by (i.e. multiplied) after calculation.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>spread</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Vector containing values by which each coordinate is divided by before calculation.
|
||
|
|
Higher spread values result in larger noise features.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A value of <code>{x=250, y=250, z=250}</code> is common.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>seed</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Random seed for the noise. Add the world seed to a seed offset for world-unique noise.
|
||
|
|
In the case of <code>minetest.get_perlin()</code>, this value has the world seed automatically added.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>octaves</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Number of times the noise gradient is accumulated into the noise.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Increase this number to increase the amount of detail in the resulting noise.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A value of <code>6</code> is common.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>persistence</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Factor by which the effect of the noise gradient function changes with each successive octave.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Values less than <code>1</code> make the details of successive octaves' noise diminish, while values
|
||
|
|
greater than <code>1</code> make successive octaves stronger.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A value of <code>0.6</code> is common.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>lacunarity</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Factor by which the noise feature sizes change with each successive octave.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A value of <code>2.0</code> is common.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>flags</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Leave this field unset for no special handling.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Currently supported are <code>defaults</code>, <code>eased</code> and <code>absvalue</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>defaults</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Specify this if you would like to keep auto-selection of eased/not-eased while specifying
|
||
|
|
some other flags.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>eased</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Maps noise gradient values onto a quintic S-curve before performing interpolation.
|
||
|
|
This results in smooth, rolling noise. Disable this (<code>noeased</code>) for sharp-looking noise.
|
||
|
|
If no flags are specified (or defaults is), 2D noise is eased and 3D noise is not eased.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>absvalue</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Accumulates the absolute value of each noise gradient result.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Noise parameters format example for 2D or 3D perlin noise or perlin noise maps:
|
||
|
|
np_terrain = {
|
||
|
|
offset = 0,
|
||
|
|
scale = 1,
|
||
|
|
spread = {x=500, y=500, z=500},
|
||
|
|
seed = 571347,
|
||
|
|
octaves = 5,
|
||
|
|
persist = 0.63,
|
||
|
|
lacunarity = 2.0,
|
||
|
|
flags = "defaults, absvalue"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
^ A single noise parameter table can be used to get 2D or 3D noise,
|
||
|
|
when getting 2D noise spread.z is ignored.</p>

<h2>Ore types</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>These tell in what manner the ore is generated.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>All default ores are of the uniformly-distributed scatter type.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>scatter</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Randomly chooses a location and generates a cluster of ore.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If <code>noise_params</code> is specified, the ore will be placed if the 3D perlin noise at
|
||
|
|
that point is greater than the <code>noise_threshold</code>, giving the ability to create a non-equal
|
||
|
|
distribution of ore.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>sheet</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Creates a sheet of ore in a blob shape according to the 2D perlin noise described by <code>noise_params</code>.
|
||
|
|
The relative height of the sheet can be controlled by the same perlin noise as well, by specifying
|
||
|
|
a non-zero <code>scale</code> parameter in <code>noise_params</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: The noise is not transformed by <code>offset</code> or <code>scale</code> when comparing against the noise
|
||
|
|
threshold, but scale is used to determine relative height.
|
||
|
|
The height of the blob is randomly scattered, with a maximum height of <code>clust_size</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>clust_scarcity</code> and <code>clust_num_ores</code> are ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This is essentially an improved version of the so-called "stratus" ore seen in some unofficial mods.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>claylike</code> -- <strong>not yet implemented</strong></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Places ore if there are no more than <code>clust_scarcity</code> number of specified nodes within a Von Neumann
|
||
|
|
neighborhood of <code>clust_size</code> radius.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

<p>Currently supported flags: <code>absheight</code></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>absheight</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Also produce this same ore between the height range of <code>-height_max</code> and <code>-height_min</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Useful for having ore in sky realms without having to duplicate ore entries.</p>

<h2>Decoration types</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The varying types of decorations that can be placed.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The default value is <code>simple</code>, and is currently the only type supported.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>simple</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Creates a 1 times <code>H</code> times 1 column of a specified node (or a random node from a list, if a
|
||
|
|
decoration list is specified). Can specify a certain node it must spawn next to, such as water or
|
||
|
|
lava, for example. Can also generate a decoration of random height between a specified lower and
|
||
|
|
upper bound. This type of decoration is intended for placement of grass, flowers, cacti, papyri,
|
||
|
|
and so on.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>schematic</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Copies a box of <code>MapNodes</code> from a specified schematic file (or raw description). Can specify a
|
||
|
|
probability of a node randomly appearing when placed. This decoration type is intended to be used
|
||
|
|
for multi-node sized discrete structures, such as trees, cave spikes, rocks, and so on.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Schematic specifier</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A schematic specifier identifies a schematic by either a filename to a Minetest Schematic file (<code>.mts</code>)
|
||
|
|
or through raw data supplied through Lua, in the form of a table. This table must specify two fields:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <code>size</code> field is a 3D vector containing the dimensions of the provided schematic.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <code>data</code> field is a flat table of MapNodes making up the schematic, in the order of <code>[z [y [x]]]</code>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Important</strong>: The default value for <code>param1</code> in MapNodes here is <code>255</code>, which represents "always place".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In the bulk <code>MapNode</code> data, <code>param1</code>, instead of the typical light values, instead represents the
|
||
|
|
probability of that node appearing in the structure.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When passed to <code>minetest.create_schematic</code>, probability is an integer value ranging from <code>0</code> to <code>255</code>:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>A probability value of <code>0</code> means that node will never appear (0% chance).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A probability value of <code>255</code> means the node will always appear (100% chance).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the probability value <code>p</code> is greater than <code>0</code>, then there is a <code>(p / 256 * 100)</code>% chance that node
|
||
|
|
will appear when the schematic is placed on the map.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Important note</strong>: Node aliases cannot be used for a raw schematic provided when registering as a decoration.</p>

<h2>HUD element types</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The position field is used for all element types.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To account for differing resolutions, the position coordinates are the percentage of the screen,
|
||
|
|
ranging in value from <code>0</code> to <code>1</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The name field is not yet used, but should contain a description of what the HUD element represents.
|
||
|
|
The direction field is the direction in which something is drawn.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>0</code> draws from left to right, <code>1</code> draws from right to left, <code>2</code> draws from top to bottom,
|
||
|
|
and <code>3</code> draws from bottom to top.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>alignment</code> field specifies how the item will be aligned. It ranges from <code>-1</code> to <code>1</code>,
|
||
|
|
with <code>0</code> being the center, <code>-1</code> is moved to the left/up, and <code>1</code> is to the right/down.
|
||
|
|
Fractional values can be used.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>offset</code> field specifies a pixel offset from the position. Contrary to position,
|
||
|
|
the offset is not scaled to screen size. This allows for some precisely-positioned
|
||
|
|
items in the HUD.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: <code>offset</code> <em>will</em> adapt to screen DPI as well as user defined scaling factor!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Below are the specific uses for fields in each type; fields not listed for that type are ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Future revisions to the HUD API may be incompatible; the HUD API is still in the experimental stages.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>image</code></h3>

<h2>Flag Specifier Format</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Flags using the standardized flag specifier format can be specified in either of two ways, by string or table.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The string format is a comma-delimited set of flag names; whitespace and unrecognized flag fields are ignored.
|
||
|
|
Specifying a flag in the string sets the flag, and specifying a flag prefixed by the string <code>"no"</code> explicitly
|
||
|
|
clears the flag from whatever the default may be.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to the standard string flag format, the schematic flags field can also be a table of flag names
|
||
|
|
to boolean values representing whether or not the flag is set. Additionally, if a field with the flag name
|
||
|
|
prefixed with <code>"no"</code> is present, mapped to a boolean of any value, the specified flag is unset.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>E.g. A flag field of value</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{place_center_x = true, place_center_y=false, place_center_z=true}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>is equivalent to</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{place_center_x = true, noplace_center_y=true, place_center_z=true}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>which is equivalent to</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>"place_center_x, noplace_center_y, place_center_z"
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>or even</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>"place_center_x, place_center_z"
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>since, by default, no schematic attributes are set.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Items</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Item types</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There are three kinds of items: nodes, tools and craftitems.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Node (<code>register_node</code>): A node from the world.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Tool (<code>register_tool</code>): A tool/weapon that can dig and damage
|
||
|
|
things according to <code>tool_capabilities</code>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Craftitem (<code>register_craftitem</code>): A miscellaneous item.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Item formats</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Items and item stacks can exist in three formats: Serializes, table format
|
||
|
|
and <code>ItemStack</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Serialized</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This is called "stackstring" or "itemstring":</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>e.g. <code>'default:dirt 5'</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>e.g. <code>'default:pick_wood 21323'</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>e.g. <code>'default:apple'</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Table format</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Examples:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>5 dirt nodes:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{name="default:dirt", count=5, wear=0, metadata=""}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A wooden pick about 1/3 worn out:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{name="default:pick_wood", count=1, wear=21323, metadata=""}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An apple:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{name="default:apple", count=1, wear=0, metadata=""}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4><code>ItemStack</code></h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A native C++ format with many helper methods. Useful for converting
|
||
|
|
between formats. See the Class reference section for details.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When an item must be passed to a function, it can usually be in any of
|
||
|
|
these formats.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Groups</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In a number of places, there is a group table. Groups define the
|
||
|
|
properties of a thing (item, node, armor of entity, capabilities of
|
||
|
|
tool) in such a way that the engine and other mods can can interact with
|
||
|
|
the thing without actually knowing what the thing is.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Usage</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Groups are stored in a table, having the group names with keys and the
|
||
|
|
group ratings as values. For example:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>groups = {crumbly=3, soil=1}
|
||
|
|
-- ^ Default dirt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
groups = {crumbly=2, soil=1, level=2, outerspace=1}
|
||
|
|
-- ^ A more special dirt-kind of thing
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Groups always have a rating associated with them. If there is no
|
||
|
|
useful meaning for a rating for an enabled group, it shall be <code>1</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When not defined, the rating of a group defaults to <code>0</code>. Thus when you
|
||
|
|
read groups, you must interpret <code>nil</code> and <code>0</code> as the same value, <code>0</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can read the rating of a group for an item or a node by using</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>minetest.get_item_group(itemname, groupname)
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

<p>Groups of items can define what kind of an item it is (e.g. wool).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Groups of nodes</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to the general item things, groups are used to define whether
|
||
|
|
a node is destroyable and how long it takes to destroy by a tool.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Groups of entities</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For entities, groups are, as of now, used only for calculating damage.
|
||
|
|
The rating is the percentage of damage caused by tools with this damage group.
|
||
|
|
See "Entity damage mechanism".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>object.get_armor_groups() --> a group-rating table (e.g. {fleshy=100})
|
||
|
|
object.set_armor_groups({fleshy=30, cracky=80})
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Groups of tools</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Groups in tools define which groups of nodes and entities they are
|
||
|
|
effective towards.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Groups in crafting recipes</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>An example: Make meat soup from any meat, any water and any bowl:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{
|
||
|
|
output = 'food:meat_soup_raw',
|
||
|
|
recipe = {
|
||
|
|
{'group:meat'},
|
||
|
|
{'group:water'},
|
||
|
|
{'group:bowl'},
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
-- preserve = {'group:bowl'}, -- Not implemented yet (TODO)
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Another example: Make red wool from white wool and red dye:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>{
|
||
|
|
type = 'shapeless',
|
||
|
|
output = 'wool:red',
|
||
|
|
recipe = {'wool:white', 'group:dye,basecolor_red'},
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Special groups</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>immortal</code>: Disables the group damage system for an entity</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>level</code>: Can be used to give an additional sense of progression in the game.
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>A larger level will cause e.g. a weapon of a lower level make much less
|
||
|
|
damage, and get worn out much faster, or not be able to get drops
|
||
|
|
from destroyed nodes.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>0</code> is something that is directly accessible at the start of gameplay</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>There is no upper limit</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>dig_immediate</code>: (player can always pick up node without tool wear)
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>2</code>: node is removed without tool wear after 0.5 seconds or so
|
||
|
|
(rail, sign)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>3</code>: node is removed without tool wear immediately (torch)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>disable_jump</code>: Player (and possibly other things) cannot jump from node</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>fall_damage_add_percent</code>: damage speed = <code>speed * (1 + value/100)</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>bouncy</code>: value is bounce speed in percent</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>falling_node</code>: if there is no walkable block under the node it will fall</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>attached_node</code>: if the node under it is not a walkable block the node will be
|
||
|
|
dropped as an item. If the node is wallmounted the wallmounted direction is
|
||
|
|
checked.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>soil</code>: saplings will grow on nodes in this group</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>connect_to_raillike</code>: makes nodes of raillike drawtype connect to
|
||
|
|
other group members with same drawtype</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Known damage and digging time defining groups</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>crumbly</code>: dirt, sand</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>cracky</code>: tough but crackable stuff like stone.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>snappy</code>: something that can be cut using fine tools; e.g. leaves, small
|
||
|
|
plants, wire, sheets of metal</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>choppy</code>: something that can be cut using force; e.g. trees, wooden planks</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>fleshy</code>: Living things like animals and the player. This could imply
|
||
|
|
some blood effects when hitting.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>explody</code>: Especially prone to explosions</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>oddly_breakable_by_hand</code>:
|
||
|
|
Can be added to nodes that shouldn't logically be breakable by the
|
||
|
|
hand but are. Somewhat similar to <code>dig_immediate</code>, but times are more
|
||
|
|
like <code>{[1]=3.50,[2]=2.00,[3]=0.70}</code> and this does not override the
|
||
|
|
speed of a tool if the tool can dig at a faster speed than this
|
||
|
|
suggests for the hand.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Examples of custom groups</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Item groups are often used for defining, well, <em>groups of items</em>.
|
||
|
|
* <code>meat</code>: any meat-kind of a thing (rating might define the size or healing
|
||
|
|
ability or be irrelevant -- it is not defined as of yet)
|
||
|
|
* <code>eatable</code>: anything that can be eaten. Rating might define HP gain in half
|
||
|
|
hearts.
|
||
|
|
* <code>flammable</code>: can be set on fire. Rating might define the intensity of the
|
||
|
|
fire, affecting e.g. the speed of the spreading of an open fire.
|
||
|
|
* <code>wool</code>: any wool (any origin, any color)
|
||
|
|
* <code>metal</code>: any metal
|
||
|
|
* <code>weapon</code>: any weapon
|
||
|
|
* <code>heavy</code>: anything considerably heavy</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Digging time calculation specifics</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Groups such as <code>crumbly</code>, <code>cracky</code> and <code>snappy</code> are used for this
|
||
|
|
purpose. Rating is <code>1</code>, <code>2</code> or <code>3</code>. A higher rating for such a group implies
|
||
|
|
faster digging time.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>level</code> group is used to limit the toughness of nodes a tool can dig
|
||
|
|
and to scale the digging times / damage to a greater extent.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Please do understand this</strong>, otherwise you cannot use the system to it's
|
||
|
|
full potential.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Tools define their properties by a list of parameters for groups. They
|
||
|
|
cannot dig other groups; thus it is important to use a standard bunch of
|
||
|
|
groups to enable interaction with tools.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Tools definition</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Tools define:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Full punch interval</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Maximum drop level</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>For an arbitrary list of groups:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Uses (until the tool breaks)
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Maximum level (usually <code>0</code>, <code>1</code>, <code>2</code> or <code>3</code>)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Digging times</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Damage groups</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Full punch interval</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When used as a weapon, the tool will do full damage if this time is spent
|
||
|
|
between punches. If e.g. half the time is spent, the tool will do half
|
||
|
|
damage.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Maximum drop level</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Suggests the maximum level of node, when dug with the tool, that will drop
|
||
|
|
it's useful item. (e.g. iron ore to drop a lump of iron).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This is not automated; it is the responsibility of the node definition
|
||
|
|
to implement this.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Uses</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Determines how many uses the tool has when it is used for digging a node,
|
||
|
|
of this group, of the maximum level. For lower leveled nodes, the use count
|
||
|
|
is multiplied by <code>3^leveldiff</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>uses=10, leveldiff=0</code>: actual uses: 10</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>uses=10, leveldiff=1</code>: actual uses: 30</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>uses=10, leveldiff=2</code>: actual uses: 90</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Maximum level</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Tells what is the maximum level of a node of this group that the tool will
|
||
|
|
be able to dig.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Digging times</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>List of digging times for different ratings of the group, for nodes of the
|
||
|
|
maximum level.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, as a Lua table, <code>times={2=2.00, 3=0.70}</code>. This would
|
||
|
|
result in the tool to be able to dig nodes that have a rating of <code>2</code> or <code>3</code>
|
||
|
|
for this group, and unable to dig the rating <code>1</code>, which is the toughest.
|
||
|
|
Unless there is a matching group that enables digging otherwise.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Damage groups</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>List of damage for groups of entities. See "Entity damage mechanism".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h4>Example definition of the capabilities of a tool</h4>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>tool_capabilities = {
|
||
|
|
full_punch_interval=1.5,
|
||

damage_groups = {fleshy=2},
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This makes the tool be able to dig nodes that fulfil both of these:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Have the <code>crumbly</code> group</li>
|
||
|

||
|
|
</ul>

<p><strong>Notes</strong>:</p>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>At <code>crumbly==0</code>, the node is not diggable.</li>
|

<li>At <code>crumbly==3</code>, the level difference digging time divider kicks in and makes
|
||
|
|
easy nodes to be quickly breakable.</li>
|

|
|
<li>At <code>level > 2</code>, the node is not diggable, because it's <code>level > maxlevel</code></li>

<h2>Entity damage mechanism</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Damage calculation:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>damage = 0
|
||
|
|
foreach group in cap.damage_groups:
|
||
|
|
damage += cap.damage_groups[group] * limit(actual_interval / cap.full_punch_interval, 0.0, 1.0)
|
||
|
|
* (object.armor_groups[group] / 100.0)
|
||
|
|
-- Where object.armor_groups[group] is 0 for inexistent values
|
||
|
|
return damage
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Client predicts damage based on damage groups. Because of this, it is able to
|
||
|
|
give an immediate response when an entity is damaged or dies; the response is
|
||
|
|
pre-defined somehow (e.g. by defining a sprite animation) (not implemented;
|
||
|
|
TODO).
|
||
|
|
Currently a smoke puff will appear when an entity dies.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The group <code>immortal</code> completely disables normal damage.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Entities can define a special armor group, which is <code>punch_operable</code>. This
|
||
|
|
group disables the regular damage mechanism for players punching it by hand or
|
||
|
|
a non-tool item, so that it can do something else than take damage.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>On the Lua side, every punch calls:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>entity:on_punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This should never be called directly, because damage is usually not handled by the entity
|
||
|
|
itself.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>puncher</code> is the object performing the punch. Can be <code>nil</code>. Should never be
|
||
|
|
accessed unless absolutely required, to encourage interoperability.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>time_from_last_punch</code> is time from last punch (by <code>puncher</code>) or <code>nil</code>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>tool_capabilities</code> can be <code>nil</code>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>direction</code> is a unit vector, pointing from the source of the punch to
|
||
|
|
the punched object.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To punch an entity/object in Lua, call:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>object:punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Return value is tool wear.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Parameters are equal to the above callback.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If <code>direction</code> equals <code>nil</code> and <code>puncher</code> does not equal <code>nil</code>,
|
||
|
|
<code>direction</code> will be automatically filled in based on the location of <code>puncher</code>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Node Metadata</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The instance of a node in the world normally only contains the three values
|
||
|
|
mentioned in "Nodes". However, it is possible to insert extra data into a
|
||
|
|
node. It is called "node metadata"; See "<code>NodeMetaRef</code>".</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Metadata contains two things:
|
||
|
|
* A key-value store
|
||
|
|
* An inventory</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Some of the values in the key-value store are handled specially:
|
||
|
|
* <code>formspec</code>: Defines a right-click inventory menu. See "Formspec".
|
||
|
|
* <code>infotext</code>: Text shown on the screen when the node is pointed at</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Example stuff:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos)
|
||
|
|
meta:set_string("formspec",
|
||
|
|
"size[8,9]"..
|
||
|
|
"list[context;main;0,0;8,4;]"..
|
||
|
|
"list[current_player;main;0,5;8,4;]")
|
||
|
|
meta:set_string("infotext", "Chest");
|
||
|
|
local inv = meta:get_inventory()
|
||
|
|
inv:set_size("main", 8*4)
|
||
|
|
print(dump(meta:to_table()))
|
||
|
|
meta:from_table({
|
||
|
|
inventory = {
|
||
|
|
main = {[1] = "default:dirt", [2] = "", [3] = "", [4] = "", [5] = "", [6] = "",
|
||
|
|
[7] = "", [8] = "", [9] = "", [10] = "", [11] = "", [12] = "", [13] = "",
|
||
|

[14] = "default:cobble", [15] = "", [16] = "", [17] = "", [18] = "",
|

[19] = "", [20] = "default:cobble", [21] = "", [22] = "", [23] = "",
|
||
|
|
[24] = "", [25] = "", [26] = "", [27] = "", [28] = "", [29] = "", [30] = "",
|

[31] = "", [32] = ""}
|
||
|
|
},
|

|
|
fields = {
|
||
|
|
formspec = "size[8,9]list[context;main;0,0;8,4;]list[current_player;main;0,5;8,4;]",
|
||
|
|
infotext = "Chest"
|

|
}
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Formspec</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Formspec defines a menu. Currently not much else than inventories are
|
||
|
|
supported. It is a string, with a somewhat strange format.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Spaces and newlines can be inserted between the blocks, as is used in the
|
||
|
|
examples.</p>

<h2><code>ColorString</code></h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>#RGB</code> defines a color in hexadecimal format.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>#RGBA</code> defines a color in hexadecimal format and alpha channel.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>#RRGGBB</code> defines a color in hexadecimal format.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><code>#RRGGBBAA</code> defines a color in hexadecimal format and alpha channel.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Named colors are also supported and are equivalent to
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-color/#named-colors">CSS Color Module Level 4</a>.
|
||
|
|
To specify the value of the alpha channel, append <code>#AA</code> to the end of the color name
|
||
|
|
(e.g. <code>colorname#08</code>). For named colors the hexadecimal string representing the alpha
|
||
|
|
value must (always) be two hexadecimal digits.</p>

<h2>Mapgen objects</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A mapgen object is a construct used in map generation. Mapgen objects can be used by an <code>on_generate</code>
|
||
|
|
callback to speed up operations by avoiding unnecessary recalculations; these can be retrieved using the
|
||
|
|
<code>minetest.get_mapgen_object()</code> function. If the requested Mapgen object is unavailable, or
|
||
|
|
<code>get_mapgen_object()</code> was called outside of an <code>on_generate()</code> callback, <code>nil</code> is returned.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The following Mapgen objects are currently available:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>voxelmanip</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This returns three values; the <code>VoxelManip</code> object to be used, minimum and maximum emerged position, in that
|
||
|
|
order. All mapgens support this object.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>heightmap</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Returns an array containing the y coordinates of the ground levels of nodes in the most recently
|
||
|
|
generated chunk by the current mapgen.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>biomemap</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Returns an array containing the biome IDs of nodes in the most recently generated chunk by the
|
||
|
|
current mapgen.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>heatmap</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Returns an array containing the temperature values of nodes in the most recently generated chunk by
|
||
|
|
the current mapgen.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>humiditymap</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Returns an array containing the humidity values of nodes in the most recently generated chunk by the
|
||
|
|
current mapgen.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3><code>gennotify</code></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Returns a table mapping requested generation notification types to arrays of positions at which the
|
||
|
|
corresponding generated structures are located at within the current chunk. To set the capture of positions
|
||
|
|
of interest to be recorded on generate, use <code>minetest.set_gen_notify()</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Possible fields of the table returned are:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>dungeon</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>temple</code></li>

</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
