Would appreciate advanced rotation on storage crate placement

[jdm311]

I used to put some writable storage boxes in the floor. You would be able to see the label because all 6 sides had the label. The storage crates only have it on the sides, so you can't see the label if you put a crate in the floor or ceiling. I understand that putting a label on the top/bottom of the crate would change its look, so adding advanced rotation would be a solution. Cheers.

Someone else mentioned this a while ago and although I've never put them in the floor or ceiling, I agree that advanced rotation for people would be very helpful and I doubt it would be difficult to add.  It's probably just an XML value for whether or not to allow advanced rotation, though I haven't looked that deeply into the XMLs and might be wrong.

In the blocks file, you would need to add the follow property to player writable storage boxes

    <property name="AllowedRotations" value="All"/>




Easiest way to do it would be:

<insertAfter xpath="//block[@name='cntWoodWritableCrate']/property[@name='CreativeMode']">

<property name="AllowedRotations" value="All"/>

</insertAfter>

Thanks for the tip!

I ran into the same issue and so decided to make a mod for this. Works server-side just fine on v1.0 (b333)
