Submodules

Currently working_villages only has the modutil portable submodule. It is needed to be able to run without the modutil mod.
This means you can either download the modutil mod and enable it or get the submodule:

When cloning add "--recursive" option to clone including all submodules:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/theFox6/working_villages.git

If one of the submodule folders is empty use:

git submodule update --init

This will clone all missing submodules.

Dependencies

working_villages needs modutil to load utilities it can also use modutil portable though
doors can be used by the villagers that's why there is a dependency

missing modutil

If you clone the mod you either need to install and activate the modutil mod or you need to clone it recursively.
If modutil is not present you will get the following error: .minetest/mods/working_villages/modutil/portable.lua: No such file or directory

cloning

When cloning first add "--recursive" option to clone including all submodules:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/theFox6/working_villages.git

else the submodule folders will be empty.

If one of the submodule folders is empty use:

git submodule update --init

This will clone all missing submodules.

To pull all changes in the repo including changes in the submodules use:

git pull --recurse-submodules
