update castles modpack, blox, bobblocks, coloredwood, technic,

gloopblocks, homedecor, ilights, led marquee, plasticbox, solidcolor,
stained_glass, unified bricks, and unified dyes

In most of these, the update is to shift over to the new "old" coloring
paradigm in Unified Dyes.  See its forum thread for details.

-"L'estensione di cancelli e simili è stabilita da un'operazione \"flood fill"
-"\" (allagamento riempitivo). Quando attivate un blocco di cancello, tutte le "
-"parti limitrofe compatibili verranno considerate parte della stessa "
-"struttura e si muoveranno all'unisono. Solamente i blocchi che sono "
-"allineati l'un l'altro saranno considerati come parte dello stesso cancello. "
-"Se desiderate costruire cancelli confinanti (per esempio, un paio di grossi "
-"battenti che si incontrano nel mezzo) dovrete fare uso dei blocchi-estremità "
-"per impedire che il tutto sia considerato come un'unica grossa porta. Si "
-"noti che se il vostro cancello non confina con nessun altro non avete la "
-"necessità di definirne le estremità in questo modo - in questo caso non è "
-"necessario che usiate blocchi-estremità.\n"
-"\n"
-"Se un cancello, ecc. non ha nodi coi cardini sarà considerato come "
-"scorrevole. Quando attivato, il programma del cancello cercherà una "
-"direzione in cui possa scivolare e lo muoverà in quella direzione al passo "
-"della distanza di un nodo al secondo. Quando raggiungerà un ostacolo si "
-"fermerà, e quando attivato ancora tenterà di scorrere nella direzione "
-"opposta.\n"
-"\n"
-"Se un cancello, ecc. ha dei nodi coi cardini, attivandolo lo si farà ruotare "
-"attorno al cardine. Se il cancello ha più cardini e questi non sono "
-"allineati correttamente non riuscirà a muoversi. Si noti che il cancello può "
-"svilupparsi solo in incrementi di 90° di orientamento, e controllerà la "
-"presenza di ostacoli nella zona in cui ruota e non ruoterà se c'è qualcosa "
-"di mezzo."

-This mod adds decorative wall-mounted shields. It comes with three default shields, but it's very easy to mix and match the colours and patterns to generate additional shields for your server; see default_shields.lua for a good place to insert your own, or make use of the castle_shields.register_shield method in your own mods.
-
-The three default shields were defined thusly:
-
-* castle_shields.register_shield("shield_1", "Mounted Shield", "red", "blue", "slash")
-* castle_shields.register_shield("shield_2", "Mounted Shield", "cyan", "yellow", "chevron")
-* castle_shields.register_shield("shield_3", "Mounted Shield", "grey", "green", "cross")
-
-The following colors are permitted:
-
-"black", "blue", "brown", "cyan", "dark_green", "dark_grey", "green", "grey", "magenta", "orange", "pink", "red", "violet", "white", "yellow"

 `unifieddyes.greymixes` contains the recipes for the 14 shades of grey. Each line contains the grey shade number from 1-14, up to four dye item names, and the yield for that craft.
+
+#### Converting an old mod
+
+If your mod used the old paradigm where you craft a neutral-colored item, place it, and punch with dye to color it, and you wish to convert it to colored itemstacks, take the following actions for each node:
+
+* Remove these keys:
+
+```lua
+	after_dig_node = unifieddyes.after_dig_node,
+	place_param2 = 240,
+	after_place_node = unifieddyes.recolor_on_place,
+```
+
+* Add a call to the create-all-recipes helper.  Here's an example:
+
+```lua
+	unifieddyes.register_color_craft({
+		output = "mymod:colored_node 6",
+		palette = "extended",
+		neutral_node = "mymod:my_base_node_material",
+		recipe = {
+			{ "NEUTRAL_NODE", "MAIN_DYE",     "NEUTRAL_NODE" },
+			{ "MAIN_DYE",     "NEUTRAL_NODE", "MAIN_DYE"     }, 
+			{ "NEUTRAL_NODE", "MAIN_DYE",     "NEUTRAL_NODE" }
+		}
+	})
+```
+
+`output` is a standard item string as in the normal `minetest.register_craft()` call.
+
+`palette` specifies the palette type to iterate through ("extended" and "wallmounted" are obvious, and if not specified, it'll use the 89 color palette).
+
+`type` can be "shapeless" or unspecified/`nil`, and works the same as in the normal call.
+
+`neutral_node` should specify the name of whatever item or node serves as the base, neutrally-colored material in your recipe.  This really only applies if your node is just made from one item (or more than one of the same item), plus one or more dyes.  If your node is just made from a collection of item and no one item is really the neutral material, or anyway if you don't need this substitution, you must set it to an empty string.
+
+`recipe` is the same as in the normal call, except that Unified Dyes will replace all instances of the string "NEUTRAL_NODE" with the item specified in the preceding `neutral_node` field.  Every instance of "MAIN_DYE" will be replaced with a portion of dye, as Unified Dyes' recipe helper works through its color lists (i.e. this field will become whatever dye is needed for each recipe).
+
+If your mod never has never used Unified Dyes at all, in short, do the following:
+
+* Remove all of your various colored node definitions, keeping only the one for the white version of your node, or delete them all, and keep whatever node you consider to be "neutral colored".
+
+* Delete all of the colored texture files too, except keep the brightest, highest-contrast, most detailed one - whichever color that happens to be.  Most likely, red or green will be the best one.
+
+* Convert that last texture to grayscale, enhance its contrast as much as you can without distorting it, and rename it to something more neutral.
+
+* Add the `on_construct` and `palette` keys to your neutral node definition, for example:
+
+	`palette = "unifieddyes_palette_extended.png",`
+	`on_construct = unifieddyes.on_construct,`
+
+* Adjust your node's groups to specify that the node can be colored.  Example (note the last item):
+
+	`groups = {snappy=2,choppy=2,oddly_breakable_by_hand=2,flammable=3, ud_param2_colorable = 1},`
+
+* Remove all crafting recipes for all colored versions of that node, keeping only the one that makes the "neutral" one.
+
+* Add the above recipes helper call (which replaces those delted recipes)
+
+If your colored node is based on someone else's neutral node, for example if you made a mod that creates multiple colors of minetest_game's default clay, you may find it best to create a single "stand-in" node that's identical to the neutral node, but named for your mod, hidden from the creative inventory, and has a properly-prepared grayscale texture image in addition to the above keys.  Use the neutral node and the custom hidden node as in the above craft helper call.  Then use minetest.override_item() to add the on_construct and palette keys and the ud_param2_colorable group to that "someone else's" node.
+
+* You will need to write a run-only-once LBM to convert your old statically-colored nodes to use hardware coloring.  See above for functions that will help reduce the work required for this part.
