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

A mod inspired by mgl512's itemframe issue

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

Todo

• Add a check if set is done in Node/fields/
• Add a table handler for meta::set

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

Command tutorial

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

Node metadatas look like this :

Stratum : 0 1 2 ... Nodes/ | +- fields | | | +- foo | +- bar | +- ... +- inventory | +- main | | | +- 1 | +- 2 | +- 3 | +- ... +- craft | | | +- 1 | +- 2 | +- 3 | +- ... +- ...
