[Mod] [MTG/MCL2] Storage Drawers [0.6.2] [drawers]

[LNJ]

Storage Drawers - The Minecraft Mod for Minetest!

This mod adds simple item storages showing the item's inventory image in the front. By left- or right-clicking the image you can take or add stacks. If you also hold the shift-key only a single item will be removed/added.

Thanks to the author of the original mod, who licensed his code and textures under MIT, this mod also can use the original textures. :)
- I thank you Justin Aquadro!

To-Do List

• Add half-sized drawers
• Add compacting drawers for auto-crafting blocks/ingots/fragments
• Add a key (or something similar) for locking the item (so the item is also displayed at count 0)
• Add duct tape to transport drawers
• Support hoppers

Dependencies

This mod requires Minetest 0.4.14 or later. (Tested/Developed on MT 0.4.15)
There are only optional mod dependencies for crafting recipes. These are default for MTG or similar and mcl_core + mcl_chests for MineClone 2.

Is this something like the caches mod?

[LNJ]

Is this something like the caches mod?

Yes, exactly. But this is a 90% rewrite using the visual entity itself for adding/removing items. This makes it possible to add 2x2 drawers with 4 different items (or any other size) [work in progress...]. As you can see I also plan to add a drawer controller that will sort all items from a pipe or just it's inventory into all drawers connected to it. This should make sorting your items much easier!

That is awesome, thanks LNJ! (Hey, you're back?)

[LazerRay]

Looks nice so far, as a suggestion add Pipeworks support to your to-do-list, since a lot of people use that mod.

[Wuzzy]

Yay! This is the 1st mod for MineClone 2 not created by me, and the 2nd mod for MineClone overall. This is great! I am happy because this means my subgame is taken seriously. :-)

By the way: The official abbreviation for MineClone 2 is “MCL2” (capital “L” to make it easier to read).

Add duck tape to transport drawers

You're right. I'll add it.

"duck tape" .. rofl :D
I changed the abbreviation for MineClone 2.

Your game has its bugs, but it is very cool! I see how much time you spend on it.

[azekill_DIABLO]

nice! this looks very nice!
you should maybe use frames code to make blocks look 3d?

[Desour]

Or you make a normalmap.

@azekill_DIABLO: Can't stop watching at you running. X3

[texmex]

Tried it, works well! A suggestion: The item count is a little "mathy", I think it would be more easy if it read "Cobblestone [99 / 2 376]" or simply "Cobblestone 4%". I would also love for this to work with this hopper mod.

i'm hypnotic no? XD

[Desour]

That would make sense since mc has hoppers and this mod is for MCL2.

It seems like I'm too stupid to use this. How can I put in an item if the drawer is empty?

You mean using a "wielditem" as entity type. Yes I actually could/should do that.

I've never worked with normalmaps. What actually are they?

I'll change that. What about "Cobblestone 4% (95)"?
Has the hopper mod an API? If yes, where is the documentation?

I've noticed a bug, that I don't understand. It's only occurring on the latest Minetest 0.4.15-dev (I used minetest stable for developing). The bug is that the visual entity doesn't spawns, so then you can't add or remove anything!

I think I need help finding out what's the problem here ...


-- EDIT
I'm currently working on pipeworks support.

If they are enabled, the surface of nodes can look 3d. But I think, this isn't good to use here, so just forget it. >_<

[burli]

Awesome.

[LNJ]

Update v0.2:

• Splitted up source code
• Added pipeworks support
• Fixed not removing items from inventory when adding to a nearly full drawer
• New infotext format with percent ("42 Cobblestone (2% full)")

Update v0.2.1:

• Fixed infotext format is displaying "0 Empty (0% full)"

Update v0.2.2:

• Fixed drawer's item name not changeable (without restart)

I found the documentation: https://github.com/minetest-mods/hopper ... er/api.txt
But it wants to directly access the inventory and we're using meta fields for name and count, so for now hoppers won't be supported.

Sounds like there's an intention to create interoperability from the hopper side of things.

Btw, the way the crafting recipe is constructed makes drawers:

• invisible to craft guides
• only craftable with default wood, not all wood types

Yeah, they should just use a callback of the nodedef as pipeworks, maybe even the same. That would be the simplest way, I think.

• only craftable with default wood, not all wood types

Why (should) the crafting be invisible to craft guides? (I haven't tested this)
I didn't use groups because I want to add drawers in every kind of wood. (But for now I'll change this..)

Thanks for the report.

[LNJ]

Update v0.2.3:

• Used groups for crafting
• Added link to forum post in README

[texmex]

Great!
No I meant that the drawers don't show in craft guides (I think they should). Usually that problem has to do with oddly constructed crafting recipe code. :)

For me it just works fine (using this craft guide: https://github.com/minetest-mods/craftguide). Which craft guide do you use?

[LNJ]

Update v0.3:

• Added 1x2 and 2x2 drawers!
• Drop positions of items are now randomized
• Adjusted pipeworks support, drop function, etc. for 1x2 and 2x2 drawers
