.../mods/animalia/craftitems.lua:515: attempt to index global 'armor' (a nil value)

[bcwagne]

Server will not start with animalia and 3d_armor installed. Commenting out the armor section (lines 514 - 545) of .../.minetest/mods/animalia/craftitems.lua fixes the problem.

Hello,

I have the same problem.

I updated animalia mod today and since, I have the same error.

It's linked to your new code for 3D armor mod.

If I remove the code section "-- Armor --" you recently add in craftitems.lua, it works again.

-- Armor --
-----------

if minetest.get_modpath("3d_armor") then
    table.insert(armor.attributes, "heavy_pelt")
...

In the meantime, I put back the before last version of animalia mod and I can play again.

I go the same error but its more complicated.

1. I can start a world with animalia + 3d armor only
2. I can't start a world with animalia + 3d armor + farming + moreblocks (invsaw is deactivated)
3. But when I deactivate the stairs part of moreblocks the world starts again.

I'm confused

Looks like the same problem as others -- I rolled back to the previous version in the interim

[programmerjake]

basically, the problem is that 3d_armor isn't listed as an optional dependency so sometimes it loads after animalia, which causes armor to not be defined. This is fixed by #80

[ElCeejo]

Should be fixed
