I have the code written but I don't see even a basic node showing up. 00:51 fedora117 k 01:21 fedora117 Hello? 01:24 gry fedora117: hi 01:24 fedora117 hi 01:24 gry fedora117: please wait a bit, someone probably did something like this before, but may be asleep or away from computer 02:35 NathanS21 What seems to be the issue Fedora117? 02:41 fedora117 Whoa thanks for taking my question Nate. I'm having trouble getting a basic node to show up. I was renovating another person's mod, the submarine pack, but for some reason a basic node won't show up. I registered it but I don't see it when I search for it when I look through the crafting search box in creative mode. I actually tried following your tutorial "The first Mod | 2-1" and saw the problem after 7:07 02:41 fedora117 Also thanks for your videos, they're great. 02:44 NathanS21 So you got it figured out then? 02:47 fedora117 No it still doesn't show up. I have a basic init.lua at the root of the mod pack but nothing pops up. 02:47 NathanS21 can you run /giveme mod:node Does that give you the item or an error? 02:47 NathanS21 replacing mod:node with your mod name and node name, of course. 02:56 fedora117 entering /giveme submarine:first yields cannont give an unknown item. However I do not see unknown item like in your video. 02:56 NathanS21 unknown items were changed recently, so they might look different. 02:56 fedora117 Also I'm on minetest 5.1.0 02:57 NathanS21 Ya, if you're getting an unknown the node should be existing I think. 02:57 NathanS21 You should get an error for a node that doesn't exist. 02:58 NathanS21 I'm using 5.2 so I'm not positive what 5.1 would do. 02:59 fedora117 Yeah that's what I thought. Here's a pastebin for my code: https://pastebin.com/h5t35G0A 03:00 NathanS21 That code seems fine, does the texture exist? 03:01 fedora117 folder structure: 03:01 fedora117 submarine/ 03:01 fedora117 textures/ 03:01 fedora117 boats/ 03:01 fedora117 destroyer/ 03:01 fedora117 submarine/ 03:01 fedora117 first.png 03:01 fedora117 screenshot.png 03:01 fedora117 init.lua 03:01 fedora117 mod.conf 03:01 fedora117 description.txt 03:01 fedora117 depends.txt 03:01 fedora117 modpack.txt 03:01 fedora117 well the texture is just the color blue. I don't see it anywhere in game. 03:02 NathanS21 You shouldn't need a modpack.txt file, but I don't think that would be the problem. 03:02 NathanS21 The texture should be in the textures folder, I'm assuming it already is. 03:03 fedora117 yup there's a copy of first.png there. 03:03 fedora117 https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=16282 03:03 NathanS21 What happens if you try and craft it? 03:03 fedora117 that's the original pack 03:03 fedora117 um i'll check 03:08 fedora117 I think there was a conflict with another mod. I made another world, enabled this mod and now minetest is saying I don't have an init.lua in my textures/ folder. Which I didn't know I needed. 03:08 NathanS21 You don't need that. 03:08 NathanS21 I think it's the fault of the modpack.txt file. 03:08 NathanS21 The textures folder should be in the same folder that the init.lua file is in. 03:09 fedora117 You're gona laugh, that file is blank! 03:09 NathanS21 init.lua should be in the parent folder of the entire mode 03:09 NathanS21 Ya, modpack.txt should be blank, if you need it. 03:09 NathanS21 That file just let's minetest know it's a modpack, rather than a single mod. 03:09 NathanS21 I don't believe anything ever actually goes in that file. 03:12 fedora117 Ok I deleted that modpack.txt, then I could enter the game but now when I'm in the new world the error text says it can't find the mods. 03:12 fedora117 we're getting somewhere 03:13 NathanS21 Parent directory 03:13 NathanS21 textures/ 03:13 NathanS21 fist.png 03:13 NathanS21 sounds/ 03:13 NathanS21 punch.ogg 03:13 NathanS21 models/ 03:13 NathanS21 init.lua 03:14 NathanS21 So you should have submarine 03:14 NathanS21 with the textures folder in there. 03:14 NathanS21 first.png should be in the textures folder 03:15 NathanS21 init.lua should just be in the submarine folder. 03:15 NathanS21 along with mod.conf 03:25 fedora117 Well it shows up now. Its the wrong color, but we have progress. It looks like 5.1 does want an init.lua at the toplevel directory because when I removed the file and placed it into the submarine folder I could not start the game. 03:26 NathanS21 yes, init.lua always needs to be in the topmost folder 03:27 fedora117 gotcha, thanks for your help Nate! 03:27 NathanS21 If it's the wrong color Minetest probably just can't find the texture you want it to use. 03:29 fedora117 Okay I changed the path that the init.lua searches for and it rendered the right color. 03:35 NathanS21 Perfect. I'm heading out, good luck! 03:35 fedora117 cool, thanks and take care! 05:18 Emerald2 Wow Krock.
