Minetest_game: 3D torches

[tobyplowy]

We really need 3D torch models why do we have flat torches in the First Place It Looks really bad (I know there's a mod for 3D torches so don't mention it) also The Idea Came Into My Head Because of @Fixer-007 and @sofar over at #1058

[StepDevelop]

Yes, I also expect the implementation of mod "torches" in vanilla;) I hope to put :)

[tobyplowy]

@StepDevelop I hope to put?

[sofar]

My intent has been to debug https://github.com/minetest-mods/torches for a bit, and then to submit that to minetest_game.

[ShadowNinja]

I'd certainly welcome making the default torches 3D (provided they're not too buggy of course).

[sofar]

@ShadowNinja that's why I've taken out all the options and gizmos from blockmen's torches and reduced them to the absolute minimum needed.

[tobyplowy]

@sofar Keep it Up Your the best :smile:

[rubenwardy]

Flat 2d torches look weird in a 3d voxel world

[tobyplowy]

@rubenwardy yes it does

[tobyplowy]

@sofar are you still working on that 3D torch mod (i'm just curious)

[tobyplowy]

@paramat will 3D torches get added for the next stable update? it seems a lot of people really want it.

[ExeterDad]

I'm joining the campaign for 3d torches. We've been using @sofar's mod for awhile on our Pi server with no issues. No way we're going back to flat.

[DonBatman]

I would like 3d torches added as well.

[MarkuBu]

There is one issue with inventory tweak. If you place a wall mounted torch and it was the last torch of the stack, the next stack is not loaded automatically

[tobyplowy]

@ExeterDad (off topic) lol the way you said that sounds like you're choosing the next president or something XD

[sofar]

@tobyplowy yes, it's maintained and I regularly patch it for issues found.

There are issues with item frames, and quarries are also digging up the wieldlights, so it still needs work.

[pharaone]

I think the 3D lights may be added before the 0.4.15, why not set as milestones that version? torches that are present in the game right now are horrible.

[tobyplowy]

@FaraoneLele the faster I get them the more happy I am (that means full support from me +1)

[octacian]

I was planning on working on this 2 weeks ago, will definitely take a look in a few days. It will use ideas from @BlockMen's torches mod, but completely rewritten from scratch.

Edit: and models. I'm terrible at modeling.

[tobyplowy]

@octacian I Can't Wait :D

[octacian]

@tobyplowy done. #1322

There's a few things I've gotta finish, but that's the fully functional idea.

[tobyplowy]

@octacian looks nice :D

[sofar]

@octacian why didn't you start with the github.com/minetest-mods/torches code? It's practically ready for merge!

[sofar]

1325, sigh

[tobyplowy]

@sofar @paramat this issue can probably be closed, also thank you @sofar for your amazing work :)

[sofar]

Since this is an issue, it gets closed when the issue is resolved.
