The item frames use case is a very specific one, but... in the event that there is need for a new item frame then that
is where this api will shine.
As long as the api has been initialized (which it does in its own init.lua) then you really only need to call one
function. That function being mcl_itemframes.create_custom_frame(modname, name, has_glow, tiles, color, ttframe,
description, inv_wield_image). Note: unlike the Signs API, this API does not automatically create the recipe for you.
Here's an explanation of create_custom_frame and an example of using it.
This function is responsible for creating each frame, and handling the creation of its underlying entities.
Parameters:
* modname: Used to make sure that a specific module is installed before running the code contained within. Set to "" or
false, if there's not a mod to check for.
* name: The name used to distinguish the item frame. Prepends "mcl_itemframes:" to the name. Example usage:
"glow_item_frame" creates a node named "mcl_itemframes:glow_item_frame".
* has_glow: Does the frame cause the item within to glow? true / false.
* tiles: The image files used for the item frame's object texturing.
* color: Colorizes the frame / wield / inventory image to a specific color. Use White (#FFFFFF) to ignore.
* ttframe: The tooltip to show for the frame.
* description: The frame's description.
* inv_wield_image: Optionally the image to use as the inventory and the wield image. Colorized. set to "" or nil to use
the default frame / glow frame images. Note: must be set if you want the inventory / wield image to be colored.
example:
-- Register the Glow Frame
mcl_itemframes.create_custom_frame("false", "glow_item_frame", true,
"mcl_itemframes_glow_item_frame.png", mcl_colors.WHITE, "Glowing Item Frame",
"Can hold an item and glows.","")
-- Register the Glow Frame's recipe
minetest.register_craft({
type = "shapeless",
output = 'mcl_itemframes:glow_item_frame',
recipe = { 'mcl_mobitems:glow_ink_sac', 'mcl_itemframes:item_frame' },
})
