Minetest mod metatools ######################

A mod inspired by mgl512's itemframe issue Version : 1.0

Authors

  • LeMagnesium / Mg / ElectronLibre : Source code writer
  • Ataron : Texture creater

Purpose

This mod's aim is to provide a way for admins to navigate through any (ok, not ignores) nodes on the map, and see values of its metadatas at any of their stratum.

Media

"metatools_stick.png" by Ataron (CC-BY-NC-SA)

Todo

  • Rewrite the table stocking : a variable containing a copy of the global table returned by :to_table(), on which we would work, and a save command to apply it on the node

Special thanks

  • mgl512 (Le_Docteur) for its locked itemframe which gave me the idea of a tool allowing to see/edit metadatas
  • Ataron who created the stick's texture
  • palige who agreed to test the mod for its first release

Command tutorial

  • help => Get help
  • version => Get version
  • open (x,y,z) => Open the node to manipulate at pos (x,y,z)
  • show => Show fields/path list at actual position
  • enter path => Enter next stratum through path
  • quit => Quit actual field and go back to previous stratum
  • set name value => Set metadata name to value (create it if it doesn't exist)
  • itemstack => Manipulate itemstacks in Node/inventory/*/
    • read name => Read itemstack at field name (itemstring and count)
    • erase name => Erase itemstack at field name
    • write name itemstring [count] => Set itemstack in field name with item itemstring and count count. Default count is one, 0 not handled.
  • close => Close node

Node metadatas look like this :

		0	1		2		3		...
		Node/
