I don't see why some nodes wouldn't appear, but I have now made it so items are sorted alphabetically, by technical name (meaning they're grouped by mod too).
Items specifying order come first, as before.
From what I can see RubyRevived is Cave Game plus some Minecraft: Order of the Stone [rd-20090515] blocks & random colouring. I'd planned to make MC:OotS as a mod that applies on top of this.
Taking MC but down a differnent path is something I'd like to see, but starting from Cave Game is a little early, could go anywhere from here as it's pretty much the bare minimum of a voxel game in MT…
Very useful as a dev, for use with small games that don't (yet, or plan to) provide a creative inventory of their own. There are no search or filtering features, so it is not suited for large games or collections of mods.
Beats /giveme and /pulverize any day.
As I am generating the textures in Lua, they have to be sent dynamically, or at least that is the impression I've got. As I am not yet saving to disk, [png was required.
If they're saved to disk the this will only be the case the first load, when the textures need generating.
Not your fault, unless you're a mind reader, but I've read your messages about images many a times before ;) was just unaware TGA was actually in the engine.
No git. My email is easily available, and the source's probably in your mods folder :P
Disk saving was on my to-do before I got distracted from this :P Thanks for reminding me.
The current way of generating textures is rather wonky dumb, bodged together in a night. Its performance could be improved vastly.
[png was used due to the current method of overriding the textures, dynamic media does not yet allow so.
As far as I can tell, minetest.encode_png does not accept a monochrome format, it has to be RGBA, ColorSpecs are RGBA also.
Does Minetest accept TGA? lua_api.txt heavily pushes PNG, should be changed if other formats are accepted.
What would be best was if MT accepted binary PBM ;)
I personally will not put effort into supporting & testing older than the latest release, however anyone is free to send me a patch if the modifcations are minor!
I went into NodeCore fully knowing it's supposed to be tough, a game where you have to figure out simple mechanics yourself and combine them into a greater whole.
I went into NodeCore fully knowing it'll take >1hr to figure mechnics out.
Those expectations were severely wrong.
NodeCore is a game for people that like reading cheat-sheets that don't exist.
I spent multiple sessions trying to figure mechanics out, getting half way and giving up.
However, you can't give up, as the wiki dosen't explain mechanics (not the game's fault) and figuring out mechanics from the code is near futile.
Wonderful concept & mechanics, but it's just not fun.

any day.Latest release solves your first two criticisms. I do not know what this makes the minimum version, it is still set to 5.5.

Thanks for the comments!
Such a simple change, but works wonderfully for making leaves look nice! Suprisingly trees with snow on them don't actually look that odd?

Simple, good, everything it needs to be. A plate that other mods add their own meat to :)
The only thing I wish for is a creative inventory that works with SFInv, without requiring
default
.Thanks for this, it's useful as a testground for making mods. Very useful as a skeleton for making a non-MTG based game too!
