[SOLVED] Liquid Rendering Issue

by mscubesoverhere » Post

Hello again everyone, I am having trouble getting flowing liquid nodes to render properly.

Code: Select all

core.register_node('mossworld:sludge_source', {
    description = 'Sludge',
    drawtype = "liquid",
    tiles = { 'mossworld_sludge.png' },
    special_tiles = {
	    {
			name = "mossworld_sludge_source_animated.png",
			backface_culling = false,
			animation = {
				type = "vertical_frames",
				aspect_w = 16,
				aspect_h = 16,
				length = 3.0,
			},
            name = "mossworld_sludge_source_animated.png",
			backface_culling = true,
			animation = {
				type = "vertical_frames",
				aspect_w = 16,
				aspect_h = 16,
				length = 3.0,
			},
		},
	},
    groups = { oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3 },
    is_ground_content = false,
    walkable = false,
    pointable = false,
    drop = "",
    paramtype = "light",
    liquid_viscocity = 7,
    liquidtype = "source",
    liquid_range = 2,
    liquid_move_physics = true,
    drowning = 1,
    waving = 3,
    groups = {sludge = 3, liquid = 2},
    post_effect_color = {a = 200,"#5d4336"},
    liquid_alternative_flowing = "mossworld:sludge_flowing",
	liquid_alternative_source = "mossworld:sludge_source"
})
core.register_node('mossworld:sludge_flowing', {
    description = 'Sludge',
    drawtype = "flowingliquid",
    tiles = { 'mossworld_sludge.png' },
        special_tiles = {
	    {
			name = "mossworld_sludge_source_animated.png",
			backface_culling = false,
			animation = {
				type = "vertical_frames",
				aspect_w = 16,
				aspect_h = 16,
				length = 3.3,
			},
			name = "mossworld_sludge_source_animated.png",
			backface_culling = true,
			animation = {
				type = "vertical_frames",
				aspect_w = 16,
				aspect_h = 16,
				length = 3.3,
			}
		},
	},
    groups = { oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3 },
    is_ground_content = false,
    walkable = false,
    pointable = false,
    drop = "",
    liquid_viscocity = 7,
    liquidtype = "flowing",
    liquid_range = 2,
    paramtype2 = "flowingliquid",
    liquid_move_physics = true,
    drowning = 1,
    waving = 3,
    groups = {sludge = 3, liquid = 2},
    post_effect_color = {a = 200,"#5d4336"},
    liquid_alternative_flowing = "mossworld:sludge_flowing",
	liquid_alternative_source = "mossworld:sludge_source"
})
I am not sure what is causing this, especially as it does show the animated textures, as the image below demonstrates.

Thank you for the response. I tried adding more lines for the special tiles table, and that did not appear to change anything.

Code: Select all

core.register_node('mossworld:sludge_source', {

Heres an extract from my Liquids Mod, its animated.

But... Change it to your mod name.

https://github.com/N-nec/liquids.git ... <---- a link to my mod.. look at the sewage, its similar to your one.

I apologize for taking a month to get back to this, I don't check the forum too often.
I am unsure what was wrong the first time, but here is the functioning code:

Code: Select all

core.register_node("mossworld:sludge_source", {
        description = ("Sludge"),
        drawtype = "liquid",
        waving = 3,
        tiles = {
                {
                        name = "mossworld_sludge_source_animated.png",
                        backface_culling = false,
                        animation = {
                                type = "vertical_frames",
                                aspect_w = 16,
                                aspect_h = 16,
                                length = 5.0,
                        },
                },
                {
                        name = "mossworld_sludge_source_animated.png",
                        backface_culling = false,
                        animation = {
                                type = "vertical_frames",
                                aspect_w = 16,
                                aspect_h = 16,
                                length = 5.0,
                        },
