Voxelgarden API
|
|
======================
|
|
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/CasimirKaPazi/Voxelgarden
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
The Voxelgarden subgame offers multiple new possibilities in addition to Minetest's built-in API, allowing you to
|
|
add new plants to farming mod, buckets for new liquids, new stairs and custom panes.
|
|
For information on the Minetest API, visit https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
|
|
Please note:
|
|
[XYZ] refers to a section the Minetest API
|
|
[#ABC] refers to a section in this document
|
|
^ Explanation for line above
|
|
|
|
Bucket API
|
|
----------
|
|
The bucket API allows registering new types of buckets for non-default liquids.
|
|
|
|
bucket.register_liquid(
|
|
"default:lava_source", -- Source node name
|
|
"default:lava_flowing", -- Flowing node name
|
|
"bucket:bucket_lava", -- Name to be used for bucket
|
|
"bucket_lava.png", -- Bucket texture (for wielditem and inventory_image)
|
|
"Lava Bucket" -- Bucket description
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
Doors API
|
|
---------
|
|
The doors mod allows modders to register custom doors.
|
|
|
|
doors.register_door(name, def)
|
|
^ name: "Door name"
|
|
^ def: See [#Door definition]
|
|
|
|
#Door definition
|
|
----------------
|
|
{
|
|
description = "Door description",
|
|
inventory_image = "mod_door_inv.png",
|
|
groups = {group = 1},
|
|
tiles_bottom: [Tile definition],
|
|
^ the tiles of the door {front, side}
|
|
node_box = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
|
|
selection_box_bottom = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
|
|
selection_box_top = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
|
|
only_placer_can_open = true/false,
|
|
^ If true, only placer can open the door (locked for others)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Farming API
|
|
-----------
|
|
The farming API allows you to easily register plants and hoes.
|
|
|
|
farming.register_stages(max_stages, name, description)
|
|
-> Register growing stages of plants from 1 to max_stages.
|
|
-> Returns list of registered nodes.
|
|
-> e.g. local stages = farming.register_stages(4, "farming:wheat")
|
|
-> use minetest.item_override to change definition afterwards.
|
|
|
|
farming.register_growing(max_stage, stages, interval, chance, lightlevel)
|
|
-> Registers an ABM to turn each plant stage into the next one.
|
|
-> stages is a table that can be obtained with farming.register_stages
|
|
|
|
Stairsplus API
|
|
----------
|
|
The stairs API lets you register stairs and slabs and ensures that they are registered the same way as those
|
|
delivered with minetest_game, to keep them compatible with other mods.
|
|
|
|
stairsplus.register_stair(modname, subname, recipeitem, groups, images, desc_stair, drop, sounds, sunlight)
|
|
-> Registers a stair. Same for corner, slap, wall, panel, micro
|
|
-> modname: Name of your mod.
|
|
-> subname: Basically the material name (e.g. cobble) used for the stair name. Nodename pattern: "stairs:stair_subname"
|
|
-> recipeitem: Item used in the craft recipe, e.g. "default:cobble"
|
|
-> groups: see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
|
|
Please include "not_in_creative_inventory=1, not_in_craft_guide=1"
|
|
-> images: see [Tile definition]
|
|
-> desc_stair: used for the description field in the stair's definition
|
|
-> drop: Drops other then then node itself.
|
|
-> sounds: see [#Default sounds]
|
|
-> sunlight: When true, sunlight does propagate.
|
|
|
|
stairsplus.register_stair_and_slab_and_panel_and_micro(modname, subname, recipeitem, groups, images, desc_stair, desc_corner, desc_slab, desc_wall, desc_panel, desc_micro, drop, sounds, sunlight)
|
|
-> A wrapper for all of the above.
|
|
|
|
Default sounds
|
|
--------------
|
|
Sounds inside the default table can be used within the sounds field of node definitions.
|
|
|
|
default.node_sound_defaults()
|
|
default.node_sound_stone_defaults()
|
|
default.node_sound_dirt_defaults()
|
|
default.node_sound_sand_defaults()
|
|
default.node_sound_wood_defaults()
|
|
default.node_sound_leaves_defaults()
|
|
default.node_sound_glass_defaults()
|
|
|
|
Player API
|
|
----------
|
|
The player API can register player models and update the player's appearence
|
|
|
|
default.player_register_model(name, def)
|
|
^ Register a new model to be used by players.
|
|
-> name: model filename such as "character.x", "foo.b3d", etc.
|
|
-> def: See [#Model definition]
|
|
|
|
default.registered_player_models[name]
|
|
^ Get a model's definition
|
|
-> see [#Model definition]
|
|
|
|
default.player_set_model(player, model_name)
|
|
^ Change a player's model
|
|
-> player: PlayerRef
|
|
-> model_name: model registered with player_register_model()
|
|
|
|
default.player_set_animation(player, anim_name [, speed])
|
|
^ Applies an animation to a player
|
|
-> anim_name: name of the animation.
|
|
-> speed: frames per second. If nil, default from the model is used
|
|
|
|
default.player_set_textures(player, textures)
|
|
^ Sets player textures
|
|
-> player: PlayerRef
|
|
-> textures: array of textures
|
|
^ If <textures> is nil, the default textures from the model def are used
|
|
|
|
default.player_get_animation(player)
|
|
^ Returns a table containing fields "model", "textures" and "animation".
|
|
^ Any of the fields of the returned table may be nil.
|
|
-> player: PlayerRef
|
|
|
|
Model Definition
|
|
----------------
|
|
{
|
|
animation_speed = 30, -- Default animation speed, in FPS.
|
|
textures = {"character.png", }, -- Default array of textures.
|
|
visual_size = {x=1, y=1,}, -- Used to scale the model.
|
|
animations = {
|
|
-- <anim_name> = { x=<start_frame>, y=<end_frame>, },
|
|
foo = { x= 0, y=19, },
|
|
bar = { x=20, y=39, },
|
|
-- ...
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Leafdecay
|
|
---------
|
|
To enable leaf decay for a node, add it to the "leafdecay" group.
|
|
|
|
The rating of the group determines how far from a node in the group "tree"
|
|
the node can be without decaying.
|
|
|
|
Add trunk = "mod:treename" in the node definition and it will search for the defined node
|
|
instead of group:tree.
|
|
|
|
If param2 of the node is ~= 0, the node will always be preserved. Thus, if
|
|
the player places a node of that kind, you will want to set param2=1 or so.
|
|
|
|
If the node is in the leafdecay_drop group then it will always be dropped as an item.
|
|
|
|
Dyes
|
|
----
|
|
To make recipes that will work with any dye ever made by anybody, define
|
|
them based on groups. You can select any group of groups, based on your need for
|
|
amount of colors.
|
|
|
|
