17:47 jordach anyone has a fix: http://codepad.org/hrjDkQRz
17:49 VanessaE run the code in minetest and see what happens
17:50 jordach fails the function
17:51 jordach have you seen the stairs function? its identical
17:52 jordach i need mark right now...anbd hes not here
17:52 VanessaE seems like you're overthinking it
17:52 jordach well
17:53 VanessaE get rid of the second function entirely.
17:53 jordach okay
17:53 VanessaE just *call* the first function
17:53 VanessaE sp, delete lines 34, 35 and 41
17:54 VanessaE also fix your indentation on line 31 (add one tab)
17:57 VanessaE also,
17:57 VanessaE you're passing five parameters to the cotton.register_block function, but you only allowed four.
17:58 jordach huh
17:58 VanessaE (name, recipe_a, recipe_b, description) ... where's the texture?
17:58 VanessaE try this on line 24:  function cotton.register_block(name, recipe_a, recipe_b, description, texture)
17:58 VanessaE and line 27:  tiles = texture,
18:00 * VanessaE waits...
18:03 jordach 19:02:36: ERROR[main]: Failed to load and run script from

18:03 jordach with http://codepad.org/z50TGxfj
18:04 jordach no idea
18:04 VanessaE so get rid of the cotton. in front of the function and function calls
18:04 VanessaE it's redundant anyway
18:04 VanessaE make it register_cotton_block
18:06 jordach thank you
18:06 jordach it works
18:06 jordach just register_block works
18:07 VanessaE excellent.
18:07 jordach so thank you
18:07 jordach now, i need to implement shapeless recipes
18:07 jordach using the two items defined
18:07 VanessaE "the more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
18:07 VanessaE that's easy
18:08 * jordach get off yer soapbox vanessa
18:08 VanessaE look at unifieddyes code, that's how I define everything
18:08 VanessaE shapeless recipes derived from the base colors.
18:09 jordach okidokey
18:12 jordach hm
18:12 jordach problem
18:12 jordach crafts will have to be by hand
18:12 jordach i cant use a function
18:13 VanessaE use a loop.
18:14 VanessaE for i = 1, 12 do
18:14 VanessaE hue = HUES[i]
18:14 VanessaE minetest.register_craft( {
18:14 VanessaE type = "shapeless",
18:14 VanessaE output = "unifieddyes:dark_" .. hue .. "_s50 2",
18:14 VanessaE recipe = {
18:14 VanessaE blah blah blah                 },
18:14 VanessaE })
18:14 VanessaE where HUES is a table containing the 12 base colors
18:16 VanessaE in my case there are 8 register_craft calls within the loop, one for each of the variants.
18:16 jordach erm, is it possible to chop the output
18:16 VanessaE chop it?
18:16 jordach because all my nodenames will reflect the dyes
18:16 jordach such as lightgrey
18:17 VanessaE look at my code
18:17 VanessaE all of the item names are derived piecemeal
18:18 jordach but how
18:18 jordach I NEED THE name from the dye to GO INTO THE NODE NAME
18:18 VanessaE yeah?
18:18 VanessaE look at the above
18:18 jordach thats why i need to chop it
18:18 VanessaE minetest.register_craftitem("unifieddyes:medium_" .. hue .. "_s50", {
18:18 VanessaE canot register_node do the same thing?
18:19 jordach but how would this WORK WITH: cotton:
18:19 VanessaE the same way, just build the names up from pieces.
18:19 jordach you will exploade my head in a sec
18:20 VanessaE minetest.register_node ("cotton:dark_" .. hue .. "_s50",
18:20 VanessaE tiles = "cotton:dark_" .. hue .. "_s50.png",
18:20 VanessaE and so on.
18:20 VanessaE (using "hue" as the index in this case, you get the idea)
18:20 jordach VanessaE, would a function variable go straight into "recipe_a" like so
18:21 VanessaE it should - just TRY it. :-)
18:21 jordach no wait
18:21 jordach my problem is ME
18:21 VanessaE *facepalm*
18:21 jordach fuck you left hemisphere
18:21 VanessaE you suck. :-)
18:21 jordach i was thinking a different texture name space
18:22 jordach okay, now i just realize that im stupid when mirroring ideas
18:22 jordach FUCK FUCK FUCK
18:22 jordach but
18:23 jordach how would the light textures work, then we are fucked
18:23 VanessaE light textures are defined explicitly
18:23 jordach from where, codepad it
18:23 VanessaE with normal register_craftitem/register_craft calls outside the loop
18:23 VanessaE then the loop uses THOSE to define the rest
18:23 VanessaE read. the. code.
18:23 VanessaE :-)
18:24 VanessaE it's all there ;-)
18:24 jordach but, {"cotton:dark" .. hue .. "_s50",  throws me
18:24 VanessaE what?
18:24 VanessaE that's just how it works :-)
18:24 VanessaE the ".." concatenates stuff
18:25 jordach because of " cotton:dark " it specifies it WILL be DARK
18:25 VanessaE so you're saying "cotton:dark_" plus the string in "hue" plus the phrase "_s50"
18:25 jordach nonononono
18:25 VanessaE where hue is the index of your loop reading through that table I mentioned
18:25 jordach what if I WANT A LIGHT colour, and cotton:dark was there
18:25 VanessaE um
18:25 jordach see
18:25 VanessaE add another register_node without the "dark_" part? :-)
18:25 VanessaE like I did. :-)
18:25 jordach but, they RUN ON THE SAME BIT
18:26 jordach how can you
18:26 jordach you might wanna just add the crafting
18:26 jordach ive already blown my hemispheres
18:26 VanessaE inmy code, I define each class of colors separately.
18:26 VanessaE ine register_craft for dark, one for medium, one for dark s50, one for medium s50, etc.
18:27 VanessaE ine->one
18:27 jordach what?
18:27 VanessaE you can put them all in the same loop, one after another
18:27 jordach just read through it
18:27 jordach makes no sense
18:28 jordach im trying to walk on water, when i can only crawl
18:28 jordach but in understand how to do it
18:28 VanessaE read the code again :-)
18:28 VanessaE let it soak in for a bit
18:28 jordach two words:
18:28 jordach you bitch
18:28 VanessaE then all of a sudden you'll be like FUCKING DUH!
18:28 VanessaE ;-)
18:28 * jordach starts crying in the cornet
18:28 jordach corner*
18:29 VanessaE all of a sudden it'll dawn on you - OH THAT's why she did that, that makes total sense!
18:29 jordach im going to nick all the code and redo it as cotton
18:29 jordach this is fucking annoying me
18:31 jordach VanessaE, crafting......i giveup
18:31 VanessaE heh
18:31 jordach thats yours
18:32 jordach for how much there is, zbslfhwsdiofpverpogqep
18:33 jordach SHUT UP AND TAKE MY CODE http://codepad.org/UemKBmFJ
18:33 jordach i give the crafting to you
18:33 VanessaE heh
18:33 jordach im trying to reduce line clutter
18:34 VanessaE output = "cotton:" .. ,
18:34 VanessaE cotton-what? ;-)
18:35 jordach as a general
18:35 VanessaE so add 7 more register_craft calls
18:35 jordach so then using something, we can add dark, light depending on the item
18:35 VanessaE customize each one for dark, medium, bright, dark s50, medium s50, bright s50
18:36 VanessaE er, 7 -> 5.
18:36 VanessaE use a loop to iterate through all 12 hues
18:39 * VanessaE considers writing the damn thing... ;-)
18:44 jordach well, you clearly understand the code, just write it, (oh, btw, im on xubuntu atm, i can use your bash)
18:48 VanessaE Busy </>
18:48 jordach alright
18:48 VanessaE Busy <->
18:48 VanessaE Busy <\>
18:48 jordach three times, was there a need?
18:48 VanessaE to show the animated cursor ;-)
18:48 jordach ikr
18:49 jordach or you have a really slow pc
18:49 VanessaE no, it's a quite quick PC... just a slow brain
18:49 jordach btw, listcolours.sh wont work
18:49 jordach running as executable
18:49 jordach just says file / directory not found
18:50 VanessaE you have to cd into the unifieddyes directory first
18:50 VanessaE ./listcolors.sh
18:50 VanessaE it's a commandline app.
18:51 jordach >:C
18:52 jordach better
18:58 VanessaE working on an autogenerator script.  Got the 12 base colors from a single red texture, now for the variants.
19:09 VanessaE generating......
19:11 jordach lol
19:11 VanessaE done
19:11 jordach does it make the textures?
19:11 VanessaE yes
19:11 jordach :O
19:11 VanessaE ok, here's the situation.
19:11 VanessaE you make a single texture, BRIGHT RED, must be damn close to 100% saturation on average, but as textured as you want
19:12 VanessaE name it red_base_wool.png
19:12 jordach why wool
19:12 VanessaE ok fine, let's make it cotton
19:12 VanessaE stand by.
19:12 jordach you know thats my mod
19:12 jordach i have image magick on standby
19:13 * jordach is happy, thanks to some blogger that allows me to get oracles java 7, mc wont run otherwise
19:14 VanessaE working...
19:14 jordach okay
19:14 jordach thank you
19:14 VanessaE this script might actually be useful for someone else later
19:16 jordach thanks
19:20 jordach hows it
19:20 jordach going*
19:20 VanessaE almost there.
19:20 jordach cant you use find and replace
19:20 VanessaE checking the output of it now
19:21 VanessaE (I'm using it against a 512px base texture, so it takes a minute to run)
19:23 jordach VanessaE, -j16
19:26 VanessaE working on it still
19:32 jordach done yet?
19:32 VanessaE no, having trouble with it
19:34 jordach oh#
19:34 VanessaE what moron decided that hue should be a percentage of change!?
19:34 VanessaE bah
19:35 jordach tell me about stupid or what
19:40 VanessaE this complicates things a little.
19:45 VanessaE make that a LOT
19:45 VanessaE it isn't a percentage either.  it's a value 0-300, in counter-clockwise steps.
19:45 VanessaE yet somehow a value of 200 is equal to 180 degrees
19:56 VanessaE this is fucking stupid
19:57 VanessaE let's see if this does the trick..
19:59 VanessaE think I got it
20:05 jordach yay
20:06 VanessaE http://digitalaudioconcepts.com/vanessa/hobbies/minetest/gentextures.sh
20:06 VanessaE ok here's how it works
20:06 VanessaE 1. make a directory
20:06 VanessaE 2. put this script there
20:06 VanessaE 3.  make a single texture in bright red, 100% saturation, hue = 0.  In other words, as close to #FF0000 as you can get without losing the detail of your texture
20:06 VanessaE name it red_base_cotton.png
20:07 VanessaE ./gentextures.sh
20:07 VanessaE (from inside the directory you created)
20:07 VanessaE it'll create all 77 colors from that single one.
20:09 VanessaE then use gthumb or ristretto or something to view the images, compare their filenames to the colors you get, and cross-compare with the dyes' actual colors to make sure they came out right
20:09 VanessaE (from my end, they look right)
20:09 jordach awesome
20:10 VanessaE I believe all 32 colors from your original wool are represented here, or at least damn close.
20:16 jordach that was fast
20:16 jordach all textures in about 0.75 seconds
20:16 VanessaE *nod* it's quick with smaller files
20:16 VanessaE but did it produce what you want?
20:18 jordach yep
20:18 VanessaE excellent!
20:19 VanessaE shall I publish this script?
20:20 jordach YEP
20:20 jordach go ahead
20:20 jordach btw: i could do with a hand on the crafting
20:21 jordach i understand if i = 1 do this forever, but, how they syntax works just loses me
20:22 jordach thats where i am stuck
20:25 VanessaE if i?
20:25 VanessaE you me for i
20:25 VanessaE mean
20:25 VanessaE bah!
20:25 VanessaE "if i"?
20:25 VanessaE you mean "for i".
20:25 jordach yes
20:25 VanessaE for i = 1, 12
20:25 jordach its just the wording gets me in the jam
20:26 VanessaE means count from 1 to 12, placing the value in 'i'.
20:26 VanessaE HUES[i] means "the item in location 'i' of the HUES table"
20:27 VanessaE (which translates to the i'th line in the table as you see it in the code)
20:28 VanessaE there, added some basic sanity checks - the script requires the presence of a textures/ directory, and the red_base_xxxx.png must be found therein
20:29 jordach huh
20:29 jordach prefered it without the textures folder
20:29 VanessaE should help avoid "your script doesn't work!" complaints later.
20:29 jordach yep
20:29 jordach all im asking for is help with unifieddyes crafting intergration
20:29 jordach i have no idea
20:30 VanessaE give me a bit to finish this
20:30 jordach alright
20:30 jordach i dont expect it done by tomorrow
20:30 jordach do it bit by bit
20:31 jordach bas080 can eat my dust
20:31 jordach (however, i will pass on the universal dying of one block)
20:33 VanessaE ok, I'm gonna call the folder generated-textures, and the script will just create it and dump the results there
20:33 VanessaE to avoid cluttering up the current dir.
20:34 jordach alright i suppose
20:34 jordach VanessaE, keep the old style dye system: once dyed, no returns
20:34 VanessaE old style?
20:35 jordach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKC1skLtbiI&amp;feature=plcp
20:35 jordach like that
20:35 jordach MC has the no-return system
20:35 VanessaE ohh
20:35 jordach like tbhat
20:36 jordach that*
20:36 VanessaE well afaic, you shouldn't be able to un-dye something anyway
20:36 jordach because that would fuck the colourant up
20:37 VanessaE but, it might be good if you could convert medium grey and dark grey wool into medium and dark grey colors by adding the appropriate full-saturation dye (since unifieddyes does this internally to craft those colors anyway)
20:37 jordach (but old wool did this)
20:37 VanessaE excuse me, medium/dark grey COTTON.
20:37 jordach yep
20:37 jordach cotton is catching people off guard
20:38 VanessaE it's okay, cotton makes more sense since the flowers can be found easily
20:38 VanessaE maybe call this "fabric" instead of cotton, specifically
20:38 VanessaE that way one could, say, craft wool, cotton, or some other textile into these blocks.
20:39 jordach meh
20:39 jordach i dont plan on any conversions
20:39 jordach ...yet
20:39 VanessaE plan for the future.
20:39 jordach i could write a abm that converts wool 32/16 into cotton
20:41 jordach my gpu is 63'c
20:41 VanessaE naw
20:41 VanessaE don't do that, just leave existing stuff where it is
20:41 VanessaE I'm thinking more like if the player has a shitload of wool "flowers" in their inventory already, maybe they could use those with my dyes to create these generic "textiles" blocks
20:42 jordach dont worry
20:42 VanessaE or if some time in the future, animals becomes a standard mod, sheep therein can be sheared for the wool
20:42 jordach the abm will just remove them on_place
20:42 VanessaE or the player can just go around collecting cotton flowers.
20:42 jordach or just remove them for good
20:43 jordach more minetest.register_alias("wool:flower", "flowers:cotton_flower")
20:43 jordach old flowers -> ironzorgs
20:44 VanessaE well as long as it's the standard flower, whether it's ironzorg's original mod or neko259's nature pack or whatever
20:44 jordach hahahahahahahahahaha, my foss friend told me html5 and flash are bad for the planet.........
