[Solved] model element texture trouble

[AiTechEye]

testing the new formspec / model element

Code: Select all

"model[0,0;3,3;character_preview;character.b3d;character.png^(default_diamondblock.png^armor_alpha_helmet.png^[makealpha:0,255,0);0,180;false;true;1,31]"

it works fine on players, like number 1 but when im trying to add to the element i just gets the
generateImage(): unbalanced parentheses(extranous '(') while generating texture "character.png^(default_diamondblock.png" error

and the model appears as the number 2, removeing the "(" and ")" it appears in number 3 that also is wrong.

the whole idea of the armor mod is it uses alpha instead of making textures to every single thing


any idea?

Code: Select all

character.png^(default_diamondblock.png^armor_alpha_helmet.png^[makealpha:0,255,0)

helmet alpha


diamond block


skin

You should use what table.concat(player:get_properties().textures, ",") returns.

it doesn't makes difference

Another person has reported problems with texture modifiers in model[]. I don't know if it's a model[]-specific problem or if it's a problem with all formspecs. Could you try putting that whole texture in an image[] and see if it has problems like model[]? That should narrow it down some.

Looks like an issue with model[]. Tested with a flat image[]:

i tested image[] & background[] both works fine

The bug is already reported here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/10614
Nonetheless, how about this? (escaping texture combiners)

Code: Select all

local str = "character.png^(default_diamondblock.png^armor_alpha_helmet.png^[makealpha:0,255,0)"
str = str:gsub("%^%[", "\\%^\\%["):gsub(":", "\\:")

-- "model[0,0;3,3;character_preview;character.b3d;" .. str .. ";0,180;false;true;1,31]"

[AiTechEye]

nope

Code: Select all

model[0,0;3,3;character_preview;character.b3d;character.png^(default_diamondblock.png^armor_alpha_helmet.png\^\[makealpha\:0,255,0);0,180;false;true;1,31]

i just noted that it doesn't works without minetest.formspec_escape()

so

local skin = "character.png^(default_diamondblock.png^armor_alpha_helmet.png^[makealpha:0,255,0)"
do not work:
"model[0,0;3,3;character_preview;character.b3d;"..skin..";0,180;false;true;1,31]"
does work:
"model[0,0;3,3;character_preview;character.b3d;"..minetest.formspec_escape(skin)..";0,180;false;true;1,31]"

How is this a surprise? There are [ and () in your string.

[AiTechEye]

because it is something i never used before
