You're soooo right. :-D

It's just a tool to create a "complete" map.
(Btw, that's why it isn't listed in my signature) ;-)

So you don't get the ocean top left to you :-)

Besides, I would check if the ocean isn't to deep under you. I mean you could stand on a cliff about 40 nodes over the ocean. You would probably hear wind but not the ocean.

A torch doesn't give 3x3 light. It's a node with "light_source" set to "max-1". The surrounding nodes are illuminated by this lightsource, not just the next 3 nodes. So brighter isn't possible. You would have to add surrounding transparent lightsources where possible. I used something similar in my ...

In 0.4.3 there's a new function:
minetest.handle_node_drops(pos, drops, digger)

It could be used to optimize your mod.
I think celeron added this because of the popularity of your mod :-)

two things: 1. Use the correct node-name: "default:water_source" not "default:water" 2. you can shorten your function: local atleast_nodes_in_t = function(pos, search_distance, height, node_name, threshold) minp = {x = pos.x - search_distance, y = height, z = pos.z - search_distance} maxp = {x = pos...

Well, i mean because i have not the slightest idea where to start to make the mazes on mapgen. :) Haven't done before, too. But when you look at celerons mobs-mod [ http://c55.me/random/2012-07/mobs.tar.gz ], his dungeons are just added after a new chunk has been generated. minetest.register_on_gen...

@GloopMaster: I changed the licence to WTFPL. So feel free to do what you want to. I had something different in mind. I thought about evolving this mod to a new mod called: PacMan ! Rules: Enter the maze, the mobs will hunt you through the maze. You can find certain nodes in the maze which will make...

Inspired by the mapping tools and RabbiBobs try [ http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2908 ] to let a player jump through several positions, I made this short mod to let a player jump in a spiral in 50 node steps every 5 seconds to let the terrain generator generate the map. So the map will b...

Found a difference between the function get_look_yaw and the output when pressing F5 If I'm not wrong you convert from radians to degrees this way: local degree = player:get_look_yaw()*180/math.pi This results in values 90° shifted to the debug-output. So your next attempt will be: local degree = pl...

compiled latest from git? Use shift-key!

There have been many changes in MiniTest. See GitHub: https://github.com/PilzAdam/MiniTest Works only with latest build. For all windows users, use Sfan5's build: http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest-builds/c55/minetest-0.4.2-rc1-b6c12d2-win32.7z (or compile latest git).

Update:

• added 20% partial braid maze, about 20% of the dead end walls are broken to build loops. So it's harder to find your way through the maze.
• fixed small bug placing the treasure
• some more comments, especially for me...

Maybe it's possible to modify your loop in a state-machine.
Depending on the players position, the next position is calculated. The next time your function is called, the new position leads to another and so on.

remotely detonated? cool!

Update:

• find the treasure
• some torches are placed
• when entering the maze, the entrance will be closed. Now you have to find the exit! -- kudos to PilzAdam (http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2897)

I wanted to avoid globalstep, but when an experienced coder like you proposes this, it's probably the best way. Thank you very much! Edit: For everybody with the same problem (traps), my solution: In register_abm a list of my nodes is created. In register_globalstep the list is checked against all p...

Hi, I tried to code a node, when a player walks on it, it activates. When the player leaves the node, the action is performed. minetest.register_abm( {nodenames = {"maze:closer"}, interval = 1, chance = 1, action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider) local objs = mine...

Sure it's called the_pixel mod. But why isn't it fully transparent? As you block the whole node, you could just create a normal block with
walkable = false,
light_propagates = true,
sunlight_propagates = true,
and a completely transparent texture. which behaves like "air" but isn't "air".

Fixed bug when coordinates jump from positive to negative. When the exit is underground, a ladder will lead up to surface.

missing at the end?
Is LIGHT_MAX defined?

@Casimir: you use minetest.register_on_leaveplayer(function(player) table.remove(players, player) end) That's wrong. I used it in my mod, too. (I copied these three lines from here) ;-). You have to declare a position, not a value. Use this: minetest.register_on_leaveplayer(function(player) for i,v ...

I ran into a small issue using this mod on my server. to resolve it i had to add if player ~= nil then above line 28. No more crashing for me now. lol Still getting the error and the server crashes ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...t Server/bin/../mods/minetes...

Could be nice for co-op adventure maps. Nice.

Tadaaa, 3D - mazes with ladders between the floors. It's really hard to keep orientation even in small mazes.

Just wanted to say, that offering a commercial song on a public server, open for everybody, will cost you a lot of money. You have two possibilities: 1. remove the music 2. make your server non-public and invite the people on demand, so that this will be a private party. But as I can see now, you al...
