## Letters: A mod for Minetest!
|
|
|
|
The majority of this code was taken (and altered significantly) from Calinou's [Moreblocks mod](https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=509). It is designed to add letters in all different materials. Code is licensed under the zlib license, textures under the CC BY-SA license.
|
|
|
|
The Letter Cutter textures use parts of the default wood and tree textures made by Blockmen and Cisoun respectively.
|
|
|
|
#### Allowing letters to be made from nodes:
|
|
|
|
Use this code to allow blocks to have letters registered from them:
|
|
```lua
|
|
letters.register_letters(modname, subname, from_node, description, tiles, def)
|
|
```
|
|
- Modname is the mod that the node belongs to.
|
|
- Subname is the actual name of the node.
|
|
- From_node is the node that the letters will be crafted from (Usually modname:subname).
|
|
- Description is the description of the node.
|
|
- Tiles defines the image that will be used with the node.
|
|
- Def (optional) may contain additional node definition parameters. Some might be overwritten to make the letters look and work as intended.
|
|
|
|
For example, if I wanted to register marble, from the mod darkage, this is the code I would use:
|
|
```lua
|
|
letters.register_letters("darkage", "marble", "darkage:marble", "Marble", "darkage_marble.png")
|
|
```
|
|
Add letters with unifieddye.
|
|
```lua
|
|
letters.register_letters("darkage",
|
|
"marble",
|
|
"darkage:marble",
|
|
"Marble",
|
|
"darkage_marble.png",
|
|
{
|
|
paramtype2 = "colorwallmounted",
|
|
palette = "unifieddyes_palette_colorwallmounted.png",
|
|
groups = {
|
|
not_in_creative_inventory = 1,
|
|
not_in_craft_guide = 1,
|
|
oddly_breakable_by_hand = 1,
|
|
attached_node = 1,
|
|
ud_param2_colorable = 1
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
You will need to add letters as a dependency to your mod, or include the registrations is the code:
|
|
```lua
|
|
if minetest.get_modpath("letters") then
|
|
letters.register_letters("darkage", "marble", "darkage:marble", "Marble", "darkage_marble.png")
|
|
--ect ect...
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Most of the default nodes have already been registered, and I have added/will add mods I like, as an optional dependancy.
|
|
|
|
*This mod is fairly stable, and shouldn't crash, but be warned that it is in its early stages of development, and so things may change considerably*
