Player needs to have tunneling privilege to be able to use the tunnelmaker tool (/grant <player> tunneling).
To give player a tunnelmaker tool use (/give <player> tunnelmaker:1). *See below for crafting recipe.*
The following diagrams show how to make curved tunnels that support the different track configurations used by advtrains. There are three basic directions that are supported: 0° (orthogonal, rook moves), 45° (diagonal, bishop moves), and 26.6° (knight moves, two blocks forward and one block to the side).
To use this mod, move your character to the existing end of the tunnel, highlight the gray node marked with an x, and point character in direction of red arrow. The icon in the inventory, if visible, will change it's image to confirm direction. Then right-click mouse to dig the green highlighted area. (Note that turns with angles other than those show are possible, but aren't supported by advtrains track.)
Using left-click digs similarly to a wooden pickaxe, which is useful for making minor adjustments.
To increase the grade, place a block on the gray node and select that before right-clicking. To decrease the grade, dig out the gray node and select the lower node before right-clicking. (Note that advtrains only supports slopes for 0° and 45° track.)
Switched digging function from dig_node to node_dig. This was based on what matyilona200 used for the tunneltest mod. Thanks matyilona! This gives several improvements:
- When tunneling, the inventory adds only a single instance of each type of block dug. Still works if inventory is full.
- Works the same with minetest versions 0.4.16 and 0.5.0-dev—no more blocks raining down.
- Works with digall mod enabled. However, make sure digall is deactivated before tunneling!
Digging pattern reference
-------------------------
Here are all sixteen possible digging patterns for reference. The white blocks have a height of 5 blocks, while the light gray blocks on the sides have a height of 4 blocks. Ground fill is only done in white block area.
