Re: how to change the orientation of a door
Hi Krock, Thanks for your reply, I'm testing it on a sign first. It works but I don't fully understand the results. The sign has paramtype2 set to "wallmounted" I've tried the following direction with the results listed. -- local rotation = minetest.dir_to_facedir({x=1,y=0,z=0}) --sign fac...

how to change the orientation of a door
I found i can place a door with something like: ... local vi = area:index(locx, starty, locz) data[vi] = minetest.get_content_id("doors:door_wood_b_1") local vi = area:index(locx, starty+i -1, locz) data[vi] = minetest.get_content_id("doors:door_wood_t_1") ... But how do I change...

biome index
Thanks for all the help so far, just a short question today: I'm using mapgen V7 inside minetest.register_on_generated(function(minp, maxp, seed) bmap = minetest.get_mapgen_object("biomemap") returns an index (actually a list of indices). Where can I find what biome is linked to what index...

Re: Can a mod be enabled by default?
That sounds perfect, i will try tomorrow. Thanks
And it works.
I did have to copy the minetest_game folder from usr/share/minetest/games/ to home/.../.minetest/games/
having just the mods folder in there did not work.
Cheers

[SOLVED]Can a mod be enabled by default?
Can a mod be enabled by default? I would like to enable my mod by default for new worlds. Is there a way to do this in conf? Like the default privs for new players. I am hacking and testing my mod but it creates a lot of garbage, so I keep deleting the test world and creating a new one. But each tim...

Re: [SOLVED]place sign inside "minetest.register_on_generate
Not quite generic or elegant but useful in my case: x and z are coordinates in the block or chunk or what is it called (1-80) function setsign(x, z, x0, z0, area, data, text) local h = citygen_get_h(x, z, x0, z0)+1 local vi = area:index(x, h, z) data[vi] = minetest.get_content_id("default:sign_...

Re: place sign inside "minetest.register_on_generated"
Thanks! I used it like this and that works: I think using the table as suggested would put the same text on all signs. local vi = area:index(ch_seedx, h02+4, ch_seedz) data[vi] = minetest.get_content_id("default:sign_wall") local text = dump(area:position(vi)).." seed "..ch_seedx...

Re: Mapgen news
Hi biomates. @Paramat, I did not say I didn't like it. It is by far the best yet! Im a big fan. I tried adding a 'lite rainforest' with identical parameters except humidity 90 and a jungle tree decoration with a density of 0.2 (compared to 100 and 0.8 for the regular rainforest) but it was not worki...

Re: Mapgen news
Thanks,
Just downloaded and it works now.
That's beautiful! I love the noise settings the biomes are vast! finally a jungle you could actually get lost in.
Only the edges are very straight, I might try adding some blend biomes to ease the transitions later as an exercise.
Cheers Smitje

Sorry for bumping an old thread, I'm a builder I like a basic set of biomes like this, as long as nothing better is there this should be the default for mgv7 imho. This mod looks good for v5 and v7 (I love the frozen oceans etc.) but I am not getting any trees. I'm using minetest 0.4.12 Is there a s...

It depeds if you are using mapgen v6 or v7. This is what I just learned from paramat: by paramat » Mon Aug 18, 2014 6:49 am https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2126 line 2126 Not sure if all of these are available within mapgen v6, some may be v7 only.

Did some experiments. I think the code below is correct now, however I am not sure the rotations still go in the right direction. As far as I can tell objects are not broken up any more no mater if the length or the width is larger. only some minor changes to rotate and transpose are required (they ...
