Knapping Mechanics [knapping]

About

This mod provides an api which makes it possible to register in-world knapping recipes. It is inspired by the knapping mechanic in the game 'Vintage story' (<www.vintagestory.at>).

To craft something the user has to hold the 'input' material and place it on the top of a walkable node, above which is air, while sneaking. A menu will appear, from which they can choose which recipe they want to place down, or abort the operation.

Once placed down, the pieces of the plane which have to be knapped away are made darker and can be knapped by hitting them with another of the 'input' item. The pieces which have to stay can't be destroyed. Once the knapping is finished the remaining pieces are replaced with the output item.

If the knapping plane is left laying around, it will disappear after some time.

Settings

This mod has two settings which can be configured from in game.

• 'knapping_timeout' - time in seconds after which ongoing knapping processes get aborted and associated entities deleted
• 'knapping_max_crafts' - number of knapping processes which can be going on at once

Both serve to control the amount entities placed by this mod to prevent players from causing lag on servers.

Recipes

knapping.register_recipe(recipe)

recipe is a table in this format:

{
    input = "mymod:foo", -- this overrides the items on_place, but unless
    -- all the conditions are met it tries to retain
    -- it's original behavior
    -- having multiple input items is not suported
    output = "mymod:bar 2", -- here it's fine
    recipe = {
            { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 }, -- 1's stay, 0's have to go
            { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 },
            { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 },
            { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 },
            { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 },
            { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 },
            { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 },
            { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 },
    },
    texture = "mymod_mytexture.png", --if no texture is provided, a fallback is used
}

Callbacks

called when a recipe is finished

knapping.register_on_craft(func(recipe, node_pos, player))

• recipe - same table as above
• pos - position of node in which it happened
• player - name of player who started the knapping process

note that they may have since then walked away or even left the game, since anyone can complete the craft

Translation

There are a few user facing strings to clarify to the player what is going on. The mod is set up to support translations, which won't be of any use until I actually have some translations.

A template is provided in the locale folder.
