About this MOD 🔗
The Lua part was created by Gemini, and the Python part was created by me (saradaabura). This MOD adds signs that allow you to type in Japanese in Mineclonia.
Operation Confirmation 🔗
- Mineclonia 0.120.1
- Luanti 5.15 x64
- Luanti dev-5.16
Mechanism 🔗
-
Japanese characters are obtained from "https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/release/2.7/ppocr/utils/dict/japan_dict.txt", and a texture for each character is created using Python and saved with a name that includes the Unicode number. (The Python code can be obtained from github. The mod's textures already contain images.)
-
Lua(the mod) converts the characters entered into the sign to Unicode numbers, references the texture corresponding to the Unicode numbers, and combines them.
-
Python is not required for the mod to function, but it is used to create textures.
Problem 🔗
- Many media files → Long loading times (approximately 4400 files, total 660KB)
- Signs placed facing east-west will start facing north-south when you re-enter the world.
To Do 🔗
- Bug fixes
- Increase the number of supported characters
- Increase variations (textures for the signs themselves)
- Reduce the file size
I haven't tested this, so I don't know for sure, but this might allow support for other characters (= characters other than Japanese, such as Hangul).
