Test Tools readme
Test Tools is a mod for developers that adds a bunch of tools to directly manipulate nodes and entities. This is great for quickly testing out stuff.
Here's the list of tools:
Remover
Removes nodes and non-player entities that you punch.
Node Setter
Replace a node with another one.
First, punch a node you want to remember. Then rightclick any other node to replace it with the node you remembered.
If you rightclick while pointing nothing, you can manually enter the node and param2.
Param2 Tool
Change the value param2 of nodes.
- Punch: Add 1 to param2
- Sneak+Punch: Add 8 to param2
- Place: Subtract 1 from param2
- Sneak+Place: Subtract 8 from param2
Note: Use the debug screen (F5) to see the param2 of the pointed node.
