postool's Introduction

ContentDB luacheck License Minetest

PosTool mod for Minetest

Adds configurable HUD elements for current: position (node and block) and time. If advtrains is installed, it can also display railway time. If mesecons_debug is installed, this info can also be displayed.

Use chat command /postool to invoke formspec to toggle elements and position of HUD.

Screenshots

Pick a location.

Use the tool.

Invoke formspec with /postool

Example display of HUD

The progress-bar shows the mesecons usage in current block. It changes colour based on penalty.

When not disabled and user is not standing in the middle block of a chunk, then a smaller, green grid shows in which direction the chunk borders are. The closer to the orange grid the green one is, the closer a chunk border is in that direction.

PosTool

Crafting recipe:

		|				|				| default:glass |
		|				| default:torch |				|
		| default:stick |				|				|

Punch or place with PosTool to show a grid of the map-block at that position. If PosTool is used on a node, that nodes position will be used otherwise players position.

Thanks

This mod was strongly inspired by poshud. Some techniques I borrowed from missions. I also want to mention replacer <- Coil0's version <- Sokomine's version and protector as I used parts of them too. @6r1d for screenshots and support

Thanks also to the users of pandorabox.io for feedback and inspiration to actually write this mod. @Huhhila for pushing the mapchunk indicator idea. On #minetest IRC/discord @Warr1024, @hlqkj and @Krock for chiming in the discussion.

Thanks to @BuckarooBanzay for helping debugging postool in node-breakers.

(If you feel I should include you by name, just submit a PR)

Biome data extension / Magic numbers

This project extensively uses magic numbers, especially magic is the number 7. I wanted to write a biome data extension but I can't be bothered having to deal with refactoring it to make it number 8 and inserting my new hud flag at position nr. 7. I doubt if using some explanatory variables would hurt performance much.

huds.lua:	if 6 == #sFlags then sFlags[7] = false end
huds.lua:	local bWantsChunk = tDB.tb[7]
huds.lua:	lCount[5] = 0 lCount[6] = 0 lCount[7] = 0
huds.lua:	for i = 1, 7 do
huds.lua:	tDB.tb[7] = not tDB.tb[7]
huds.lua:	return tDB.tb[7]

player:hud glitches

I just got hit real bad by the bug: fullscreen is coloured and error messages: "can't load texture" and the text of the huds. Somehow the hud manager mistakes text huds as image huds.

To avoid, let's try by creating the hud elements when user activates and destroy them on deactivation.
That should reset the elements at least.

Grid glitches

Just run around and change your pitch and yaw. The module to display the grid is still in experimental development phase. So all mods using it have this issue.
It would be far worse if grid was displayed differently or more grids were added, such as centre.

add heat seaker mode

shows on hud markers with the values of the surrounding blocks.
reason: sometimes it is hard to spot a block that is silently building up penalty.

variant of this would be a mode that when you use tool, that block is added to players hud
updating it's values for x seconds or until you go there again and toggle with tool.

Wasn't it @6r1d who thought all along the postool was to do that?
