Small bugfix, changed some behaviour
* The mod should not crashed when `worldedit_shortcommands` is not enabled now.
* The alias `//ws` is only registered if `worldedit_shortcommands` is enabled (some server owner don't want short commands).
* Poster from `display_modpack` now takes first line as the title of poster (instead of merging everything into the title).
* Poster from `display_modpack` will save "Press the Edit button." in the poster content if only one line is given, that one line itself will be saved as the title.

Write Sign

This is an extension mod of WorldEdit for Minetest, so you need WorldEdit mod to use this mod.

This mod adds new WorldEdit command that enables writing to supported signs.

For more information, see the forum topic at the Minetest forums.

Installing

If you are using Windows, consider installing this mod using MODSTER, a super simple mod installer that will take care of everything for you. If you are using MODSTER, skip directly to step 6 in the instructions below.

There is a nice installation guide over at the Minetest Wiki. Here is a short summary:

  1. Download the mod from the official releases page. The download links are labelled "Source Code". If you are using Windows, you will probably want to download the ZIP version.
  2. You should have a file named SOMETHING.zip or SOMETHING.tar.gz.
  3. Extract this file using your archiver of choice. If you are using Windows, open the ZIP file and move the folder inside to a safe place outside of the ZIP file.
  4. Make sure that you now have a folder with a file named README.md inside it. If you just have another folder inside this folder, use this nested folder instead.
  5. Move this folder into the MINETEST_FOLDER/mods folder, where MINETEST_FOLDER is the folder Minetest is located in.
  6. Open Minetest to a world selection screen.
  7. Select a world you want to use this extension mod in by left clicking on it once, and press the Configure button.
  8. You should have a mod selection screen. Select the one named something like write_sign by left clicking once and check the enable checkbox.
  9. Press the Save button. You can now use this extension mod in that world. Repeat steps 7 to 9 to enable it for other worlds too.

If you are having trouble, try asking for help by opening GitHub issue (faster but may not always have helpers online) or ask on the forum topic (slower but more likely to get help).

Usage

Write Sign mod is only used to write text into signs using commands.

This mod could be used in two situations:

  • When you want to set multiple signs with the same text.
  • When the sign formspec could not accept certain characters due to Minetest formspec limitation but the characters could be written in chat.

Compatibility

This mod is tested and therefore supported Minetest version 0.4.17.1, however it might still work for older Minetest versions as long as it's not below 0.4.8, and might work on newer Minetest versions. I don't provide support for other Minetest versions.

This mod is usable with signs from default, signs_lib, and display_lib (from display_modpack).
