That looks great!

Is it a drop-in replacement or would that cause weirdness?

[TenPlus1]

@acidzebra - oh yes, it's a drop in replacement :)

[Sokomine]

Transparent stairs
Glowing stairs

That sounds great! Though...as it does work with glowglass, other blocks like that ought to work as well as long as they're registered.

Ability to craft stairs back into full blocks

That's IMHO a bad idea. All these recipes clog up the craft guide so that it becomes difficult to find out the real recipes for nodes. Using the saw only is IMHO better.

[TenPlus1]

- Added sloped outer and inner corners for stairs.

I would like it if you could add tripping. this would be immersive

[TenPlus1]

Tripping over stairs, lol.

Just wanted to say thanks for making this mod Tenplus1, very easy to integrate into non-mtg base game.

[TenPlus1]

- Glass stairs updated to use quarter texture for sides.
- Obsidian Glass stairs updated to use quarter texture for sides.
- 'stairs.glass_sides' setting added to turn off sides and give older glass stair look.

[TenPlus1]

- Ability to leave sounds field empty (nil) to use node sounds.
- Tweaked and tidied code and api.txt.

Hi,

I love this mod, but it's filling the logs with warnings.
Should I remove stairs from minetestgame ?
Or should I even place it there ?

Most of the errors are like:

Code: Select all

WARNING[Main]: [stairsplus] removing group overrides from building_blocks:stair_Marble_half (was {"cracky":3.0,"dig_stone":2.0,"marble":1.0,"pickaxey":5.0}, will be {"cracky":3.0,"dig_stone":2.0,"pickaxey":5.0,"shape_stair_half":1.0,"stair_marble_half":1.0})

This generates about 60000 WARNING lines / day. (Server 5.8.0)

[TenPlus1]

@pivert - This looks to be a new warning msg introduced in 5.8 that I haven't seen so far, will look into it today and see why moreblocks/stairsplus may be generating it. I typically use my own moreblocks fork without stairsplus added.

[pivert]

Thanks. This is really annoying as it generates all those warnings at the server startup, delaying the server start by up to 5 mintutes...

It sounds like you're running Minetest from the console and/or slow storage writing to debug.txt. The speed at which some command-line programs with loads of textual output run is sometimes limited by the speed at which your console can display that output. And believe me, there are faster and slower terminals, people have done benchmarks. My dedicated server starts a whole lot faster than 5 minutes, I think sub 8 seconds. Now that server doesn't have this particular mod, but it does have quite a few with texture warnings so I think it may be comparable.

@pivert - Which base game are you using to run your server ?

[TenPlus1]

- {slippery} group added to ice stairs.

[TenPlus1]

- Enabled world align textures to missing stairs (stone and wood).
- Updated EtherealNG and cBlocks with world align textures also.

@pivert - Which base game are you using to run your server ?

Hi TenPlus1,
I'm using Minetest game on MT 5.9.1, 240 mods, K8S, PostgreSQL.

Having a bit less lines, but still:

Code: Select all

$k logs minetestserver-0 -c minetestserver |rg -F 'WARNING[Main]: [stairsplus] removing group overrides from' |wc -l
5278

Sorry, looks like I missed your message ;-)

[TenPlus1]

@pivert - Those lines are generated by the stairsplus mod within moreblocks mod.

[pivert]

Indeed, thanks for pointing that Tenplus.
Definitely a stairsplus problem.

In case you also have the problem with moreblocks + stairsplus, check for updates in:
https://github.com/fluxionary/minetest- ... /issues/21

Thanks !

- Add "stairs.old_placement" setting so re-enable older placement style.
- Tweak & tidy code.
