Recipes

[bell07]

At the time the laptop:monitor4, laptop:monitor3 and laptop:laptop does have an recipe. All laptops/computers should be crafteable. In addition the items floppy and usb needs an crafting recipe too

[Gerold55]

Could it also be possible to make something where you can just but the laptops and printer? Because there's only so many recipes that can be done for the laptops.

[bell07]

I did not understand, my bad english :-( Do you mean a way to add automatically recipes by hardware registration in according any template?

[Gerold55]

To add a node/item where you'll be able to buy the laptops/computer and printer

[bell07]

The printer recipe can to the development brach till printer is ready for master. Other recipes could go directly to master after short text

[bell07]

Ah, something "workbench"- like? I like the classic recipes. A recipe could be expensive too with gold and diamonds

[Gerold55]

Yeah ik but to create something where you trade some kind of ore of a few materials to get a certain laptop so we could add as many computers without conflicting recipes :)

[bell07]

Maybe one own craftitem like "laptop chip" that is used once in all recipes? This way no overlaps to other mods happens. Of course we need a recipe for the chip too

[Gerold55]

So like copper melted down in a furnace into a computer chip? Or something like that?

[bell07]

I like something like homedecor:ic Maybe use them if homedecor installed

[bell07]

If no homedecor installed, copper smelting is fine, but we need sand for silicium in recipe

[Gerold55]

[Gerold55]

How do those look @bell07

[bell07]

What is it?

[Gerold55]

It's supposed to be silicon and copper chip but darianbrown had an idea to do the recipes. glass -> tempered glass. Gold copper and iron for the chips and some other ore components to make the individual computers.

[bell07]

Sounds good!

[bell07]

Any news?

[Gerold55]

So we are gonna be using mesecons with the laptop mod to be able to properly create crafting recipes.

[Gerold55]

Is there a way to change/override the recipes for mesecons? @Grizzly-Adam @Bell07

[Grizzly-Adam]

I have never messed with the messecons mod, but we should be able to override a recipe fairly easily. Of course we will them become at least soft-dependent on messecons.

[Grizzly-Adam]

Please provide link to mesecons mod.

[Grizzly-Adam]

https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons

If this is the mod, they are just using minetest.register_craft which we can override as we wish.

Should be able to do something like this:

if  minetest.registered_items["mesecons_lamp:lamp_off"] ~= nil then
minetest.override_item("mesecons_lamp:lamp_off", {
    recipe = {
        {"", "default:glass", ""},
        {"group:mesecon_conductor_craftable", "default:steel_ingot", "group:mesecon_conductor_craftable"},
        {"", "default:glass", ""},
})
end

[bell07]

What are you going to do? Ususally nothing should be overriden that is registered by other mods. But I think it is not needed. CAn you pls. provide your mesecons-related idea?

[Gerold55]

To redo recipe for something like the lightstones so it would make more sense to use them for the screen.

[bell07]

Usually a player that know mesecons (a well-known mod for minetest) does not expect the recipes are changed after the laptop mod is installed. Please note the mesecons is used for other reasons then laptop too. Please don't. If mesecons items does not fully match our requirements, we need own items, maybe crafteable from pr convertable to the mesecons items

Exactly, we can make our own recipe that outputs the mesecon item while leaving the original recipe alone.

[Gerold55]

Yeah 2 different recipes for the item.

[Gerold55]

@bell07 @Grizzly-Adam how do I add items to the mod? I want to add the components to the mod so I can get the in-game images so it'll be easier for me to layout the recipes before I code in the recipes.

[bell07]

Look to the items.lua for already existing items ;-)

At minimum there should be

minetest.register_craftitem("laptop:newitem", {
    description = 'NEw ITem',
    inventory_image = "laptop_item.png",
})

If you need additional settings see: http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_craftitem and for recipes see: http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_craft

[Gerold55]

[Gerold55]

[bell07]

Looks very nice! :+1:

[Gerold55]

The components recipes are almost finished.

[Gerold55]

@bell07 @Grizzly-Adam I've added the recipes for the components. I haven't done the recipes for the computers yet so if y'all are interested in helping with that you can

[bell07]

Thanks! Really nice!

I looked trough the recipes and (as usual ;-)) have some remarks:

• laptop_case.png is missed
• the floppy and usb needs a recipe too
• Maybe we should add alternative recipes for people that not like all mesecons mods? (I do not use luacontroller or fpga, and gates :-[) I prefer more the homedecor items. homedecor:ic instead of luacontroller0000 for example?
• We do not should have 2x items files. Either the "items.lua" content should be copied to craftitems.lua" too, or renamed to something more meaningfull like "removable_items.lua" ??
• laptop-recipes missed - should be in nodes.lua. Maybe this file should be renamed to something more meaningfull too? To hardware_nodes.lua?

About mesecons: We do not support the "core functionality" of mesecons at the time, so using the mesecons items in recipes feels wrong. Mesecons is "power supply" with some on/off logic (like known redstone in other blocks game). Our laptops does not deal without power, and I do not like the idea to power laptop on/off by wall_lever

[Gerold55]

Would you be able to make the edits? I'm about to head to bed. I can send the component files to you also. Github was having trouble with uploading the textures. It was picking and choosing the files it wants to upload.

[bell07]

I did some file renames and moved items.lua to craftitems.lua. Recipes still missed because of missed ideas on my site :-( The texture still missed too

[Gerold55]

Components.zip

[Gerold55]

@bell07 I've just added the textures for the components for you.

[bell07]

Uploaded missing laptop_case.png Seen we have now "laptop_hard_drive.png" (Removable app icon) and "laptop_harddrive.png" (Item). Therefore renamed laptop_hard_drive.png to laptop_removable.png

Seen the current concept for hardware recipes. Try to do it in evening. If not, the next days I am AFK.

In concept the Floppy and USB-Stick are missed. Ideas for crafting recipes?

[bell07]

@Gerold55 can you please update the credits for new items in README.md? You can direct use the Edit README.md on github. If you not firm with the MD-syntax just look how the existing items are listed and use "preview changes" before commit

[Gerold55]

I'll add it as soon as possible. I was working today and I have the evening off. Will get a proof of concept done and uploaded.

[Gerold55]

I've added the USB and Floppy recipe concepts.

[bell07]

You ignored my last chages and did overridden them. Therefore there is no usb and floppy definition anymore in the file. Again, please install any client and learn how to use git. I am on the road and cannot do anything till weekend. Please do not push directly to master incomplete work. The git branches exists to collect changes/commits till the work is completed. Each enhancement should have own branch, so the right way is: create new branch with change-related name (like "crafting_recipes"), push all work on recipes to this branch. If all work is done, create pull request, review, merge, delete branch..

[Grizzly-Adam]

What file do you have them in, i downloaded a version before his latest update I think.

[bell07]

I converted craftitems.lua dos2unix and moved the usb-, floppy- and paper definition to this file. Then I removed the items.lua

[Grizzly-Adam]

@Gerold55 I have forked the main build and uploaded bell's craftitems.lua to it. Please check the compare and merged the appropriate changes. https://github.com/Gerold55/minetest-laptop/compare/master...Grizzly-Adam:master

[Gerold55]

We need to get these recipes done. The laptop mod was just added on a server.

[Grizzly-Adam]

I will work on the ones for the addon packs.

Ok I think I'm gonna work on the ones for the laptop mod. Bell wanted to change the recipes. I think they are fine though.
