Re: [Server] VanessaE's Creative Server [git]
I stopped by for a bit today. Really nice to just walk/fly around and see what everyone has built. Some pretty normal buildings, and some truly weird stuff. Then I tried to learn what all the different blocks were, and which mods added which nodes. Naturally, I got there 15 minutes before your night...

Re: [MOD] A Overhall to Darkage [Medieval]
Hi. I was just on Vanessa's Creative server and flew around making notes on all the cool blocks that were being used. Your darkage was on my list of mods to look into. Nice detailed textures and moody lights. I will do some testing on my singleplayer world. If it will help, I would be happy to write...

Re: [Mod] D00Med mobs [dmobs]
Ooh. Downloaded it. Ironically, I was just sketching out a mod to do funky genetics with butterflies (because they were never really completed in the Forestry mod for MC and it bugged me). I'm less interested in being doomed, pretty much just running around in my underwear in my test world, but will...

Re: TestJam 2016 - 72 Hour Modding Competition
Well that's not the outcome I was expecting. Ouch. I was hoping to see which super creative mood won and how much fun it was. Other contests have produced some very cool code. Did you only promote it in the forum? I have only been on here for a week or two, I would have been game if I had seen it. I...

Re: [Mod] Node Information on_punch [punchinfo]
Hi Octacian. I got an odd error when punching one of my own blocks. You can see from the F5 debug readout that the fields are filled in, but after a punch I get an error that "tiles" is nil. http://scvs.com/games/minetest/punchinfo%20test1.png Here is definition of my node: minetest.regist...

Well that would be easier than reading everyone's source code to see specific properties of things. Will try it out. ;-)

Re: [WIP] fall_stones: falling blocks ... watch your head!
Hi, thanks. It does feel a little more real when ledges collapse and tunnels cave in. I just added crafting recipes to the blocks. Just take a vanilla block and add 3 gravel to make 2 of the matching falling blocks. For anyone trying to do an educational modpack, use these falling blocks to show gra...

[WIP] fall_stones: falling blocks ... watch your head!
I had a nice quiet weekend and was able to spend some time coding basic mods to customize my game world. What a nice solid engine MineTest has become! High five to the team. This mod [fall_stones] adds a bunch of blocks that look exactly like vanilla blocks except that they can fall on you. The bloc...

Re: testing ore generation - make em glow
Hi. I'm happy to test anything, mythbust anything. Here is the same oregen with one ore swapped with glass and one swapped with meselamps. http://scvs.com/games/minetest/oregen_testing_both.png The yellow areas are the meselamps, and the black zones are glass. The upside of this is that you can see ...

Re: [WIP] dense_ores Denser ores for deeper depths
Testing some newer, handmade dense ore textures. The old way with the rotations just came out weird. http://scvs.com/games/minetest/dense_ores_new.png Had some fun testing and tweaking the oregen. Also added a config file to set the rarity of the stones and ores to fit you world's needs. Update comi...

Found two little guys while testing some oregen code...
and
they seem so bright and happy down in the pitch black pits of the world. ;-)

Re: [WIP] packed_things mod: compress your blocks
Thanks. I added a download link from the Github page, just click and unpack the zip file to your Minetest/mods folder. Update: I added packed series for snow, ice, desert_sand, desert_cobble and gravel. I also added a config file so you can enable just the ones you want to use, and after moving each...

Re: testing ore generation - make em glow
Really interesting to hear some of these ideas. Almost 30 years of programming here but minetest is a whole new environment. At lunch now, will test later.

Re: testing ore generation - make em glow
ok, well I don't see how making something invisible would make it easier to see. In this case I could use two different light levels to see the ores spawning inside my custom stone blocks.

testing ore generation - make em glow
I just thought of a very handy way to test the ore generation in a modpack I'm coding. I thought I should share, because it's really easy to do ... Make the ore you're testing a light source. light_source=6 or 9. Now check it out ... Go into Freemove mode, teleport down to the depth where you're tes...

[WIP] dense_ores Denser ores for deeper depths
Hi. This is a fairly basic mod, adding new blocks and colors for your deepest caves. The mod adds three tiers of new blocks: Deep, Dense and Ultra Dense. The blocks affected are Stone, Coal Ore, Copper Ore, Diamond ore, Iron Ore. Deep, Dense and Ultra Dense stone can be crafted into 2, 3 and 4 regul...

[WIP] packed_things mod: compress your blocks
Hi. MineTest has really come of age, and I finally got a chance to start coding some mods. Basic stuff to begin with. This mod lets you pack your cobble, dirt and sand by a factor of 9 into Packed Cobble, Dirt and Sand, then again into 2x Packed Cobble, Dirt and Sand, and again ... up to Ultra Packe...
