Formspec Editor
REALTIME formspec viewer/editor "game" for minetest
Getting Started
This mod needs access to an insecure environment in order to work.
Add formspec_edit to secure.trusted_mods in your minetest.conf file.
The file formspec.spec in your:
minetest_folder/games/formspec_editor/mods/formspec_edit
contains a formspec you can edit and see updates of in real time. (You can also specify a file location with the formspec_editor.file_path setting.)
Simply add the game to MT, load up a level of Formspec Editor, and you will be greeted with the formspec.
- To make edits, open the file in your editor of choice and make changes as you see fit. When you hit save, the formspec will auto-update. Best when used side by side.
- To exit just hit <escape> or use a button_exit[] button. Both send the fields.quit message.
- You can test with images if you want, adding a "textures" folder to the formspec_edit gamemod folder, otherwise images will default to random colors.
- You can show the formspec with builtin, minetest_game or mineclone2 styling (see the
formspec_editor.stylesetting) - You can change the refresh rate by changing the
formspec_editor.update_timesetting
Makes creating formspecs a breeze
This 'game' is excellent. No longer do I need to launch a world, look at a formspec, tweak the code, reload the world. I get instant feedback on changes. Lining different elements up is soo easy with this.
Lifesaver
Working with formspecs on Minetest is highly frustrating, but this utility makes it (almost) bearable. A must if you love yourself. I'd leave two positive votes if I could, great job!
Loved the idea!
