FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Thank you all for the answers, paramat mod is what I was looking for :D

Is the Mapgen v7 still unreleased in version 0.4.9? biomes compatible with v7 aren't provided in the regular distribution? If the answer is no, can they be installed as mod just as snow mod gives support for v7? I noticed it is in the TODO list to add the biomes, then the logical questions are: * A...

Thank you I will do some tests with that, stratus is a mistype of stratum :P Let me show you the shapes I was generating with my function. http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121018081903/darkage/images/b/ba/Stratum.png And here you can see the complete shape flying over the world in de debug ph...

hoodedice wrote:New method for manipulating nodes, introduced by hmmmm(mmmm?) in 0.4.7. Reduces node manip and loading time from 20+ seconds to 1-5 seconds. Also, makes calling nodes easier.

Where is the documentation to understand how it works? Is there any example of use?

Aditionally you use legacy generation methods that are very slow. You should use minetest.register_ore and the LuaVoxelManip if there are any ore types that it doesn't provide. Thank you for the tips, btw what is the LuaVoxelManip!? :P Because the documentation I found it's let's say scarce http://...

I decided to use the Pitriss's function. It worked fine, but the stairs, they lost the direction :P I fixed it transfering the param2 value to the new nodes. I prefer not to use an aliass because I wanted to leave the default behaviour, so once I changed all I will remove the abm. Luckily I had not ...

Indeed I don't have any problem that you used the texture I created or you decided to supply new node versions for the straw bales, I like a lot what you did. I understand that Dark Age is a "huge" mod that supplies several nodes and functionalities that many people don't want. cottages is consisten...

New furniture is always good to have :-) Take a look at my cottages mod. It already comes with some furniture, but there's certainly room for more :-) The anvil from realtest might look fine in a medieval environment as well. wow that's very nice what you did there. You read my mind and implemented...

thank you, I will try it tomorrow, I have also other nodes to take care, because I have stairs and slabs. To walk over all the map will be hard :P I have lit. Km of tunnels with that cobbles.

I recently migrated from 0.4.3 to 0.4.8 all the changes are impressive and really cool, but I have a little big problem. I have already created large extensions of buildings with cobble stone, now the texture has more sense, but I would not had used that nodes from the begining if that texture was t...

Thank you for the tips and the welcome, I will look at that. I have been playing a little with nodeboxes, so maybe I will include some new nodes for middle age themed furniture.

I have been away for a lot of time because OpenGL stopped to work in my computer, a few days ago I solved it (yeah, I took me forever :P) So I opened my old Minetest and updated to the latest version discovering tons of new changes and features in the game. I will review Dark Age to fit better the ...

Thank you so much for your improvements. I left them documented in the main post. I will do my best to add the ones I like to the main distribution and leave your variant version available. I must say that not to use morestairs was intended for 2 reasons 1) I wanted my mod without dependences 2) eve...

It looks like MasterGollum has returned. You should show him your updates to this mod, addi. He should appreciate them. I don't know why it was not warning me about new replies on this thread :( At the moment the development of an iPhone App keeps me busy, but I think in a couple of week I could ta...

No, it is not more faster.

What allows this mod is to be able to create your own smelt recipes.

Are you still working on this mod? The King Arthur's Land server makes good use of it. i shall point out that dwarves Kingdom has it as well. I was no aware that it has been used, are you using the textures I provided or you replaced them for more hight resolution ones? If there are new features th...

I think he means a download link to that world or a worldedit schematic of it. The building of the picture is not isolated. It forms part of a more complex structure of a street. So doesn't make sense to provide a schematic of it. I'm planing to post the complete world, but not now, when I finish t...

could you add the download link to the house in the screenshot and explain where the different blocks can be used and how they could be used effectively to make a good looking house Thank You Umm what do you mean as download link? this is part of a city that I'm building in my standalone Minetest. ...

try seeing snow mod: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2290 I did, but I didn't know why he choose perlin1:get2d({x=x,y=z}) > 0.53 and not other value. And if it's possible to decide based on the values returned by this function the kind of biome we are in. Let's say if pops a value under ...

you have made pretty nice job with the stone generation if you could help me with such a problem, i want to add obsidian to my mod which is supposed only to be found around lava lakes. ive played with your generate stratus routine but without success. Maybe I found the solution, take a look at habi...

Strange criteria to discard them. The were buggy, they slowered the map generation, but boring? Who decided it? For popular demand? Exists a way to enable the jungle generation without need of a mod like Jungle Trees?

Look at mapgen.cpp . Wow it is a ultra complex code :P what I see is that in fact are only to biomes? NORMAL and DESERT? enum BiomeType { BT_NORMAL, BT_DESERT }; BiomeType get_biome(u64 seed, v2s16 p2d) { // Just do something very simple as for now double d = noise2d_perlin( 0.6+(float)p2d.X/250, 0...

Is documented in any place the perlin noise of the different default biomes (I suppose they depend on it)? I can't find it, for example if it is possible to know when a plain is being generated, or a lava lake, etc, all the default biomes.

If you do it, we will not finish the map in our lifetime :) it will be more than 10 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon! If I calculated well, starting from the center of the map at 3 m/s speed as the AV moves in my screen, we will need about 23 years walking without stop to reach the end ...

No, i mean technic mod for minetest. If you havent been living under a rock, you should know what it is. Oh ok, never used it :P I'm more old fashioned, it looked... well too technic to me. It will require another version of the technic Mod changing the recipes for use the Smelter. I already did it...
