FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

thanx alot

As I don't know how much time I can invest in developing my mods, I try to publish even the smaller steps. And we're far away from version 1.0 ;-)
Ok, next will be 3D-mazes, this will take a little bit longer...

Tested 3000 x 3000 maze, it takes a long time but works now.

And you have to make sure your world is already generated that far. If not, the terrain builder will come and generate the landscape over/through the maze.

Is it possible to detect the clouds in the sky? I never tried. If it is possible, then there should be rain only direct under the clouds.

remove line 11.
Hint: count your opening and closing brackets.

Nice effect!
Wouldn't it be enough if it would rain in a smaller cube around the player? Else you get strange moiree / repeating effects.

For the array, representing the maze, I will switch to boolean instead of number. That will save a lot of memory.

Ok, I don't know the data-structure of LUA, but assuming that a number (LUA doesn't seems to have a byte or a integer type) needs 4 Bytes RAM. Then we have 7000 * 7000 = 187MB just for the maze, then there is an array with coordinates for the creation-way through the maze with about another 150 MB. ...

underwater would be probably something like local pos = player:getpos() pos.y = pos.y + 1 -- head under water not just the feet local is_water = minetest.env:get_node_or_nil(pos) if is_water ~= nil and (is_water.name == "default:water_source" or is_water.name == "default:water_flowing") then [...] c...

Can't tell anything about coding the main-project, so I focus on mod coding. I have to admit that I was also inspired by your lights mod for my walking-light mod. To be honest, I download all the interesting mods (most by mauvebic and PilzAdam) and try to learn from them (I'm totally new to LUA). Of...

Except that, I like the changes. I think you should have a way to get seeds out of gameplay, not just by the "give"-command. Or you get the seeds out of chests in dungeons, to encourage you to go for expeditions.

well, just unpack the zip-file. don't run it out of winrar.

Could you perhaps make a variant that creates mazes out of leaves/hedges? It'd be perfect for my Victorian manor gardens. +1 added your wish to my todos. Then you probably don't want a ceiling. [Edit] realized your wish, except that leaves will disappear without a tree next to it... so build your f...

Just finished my first version of the maze-generator.
Feel free to modify and add to worldedit.

Get lost! This will generate a random maze near your position. Will you find the exit? Hint: The map is printed out in the console. Use the chat-command /maze <size_x> <size_y> <#floors> <material_floor> <material_wall> <material_ceiling> Example: /maze gives you 20 x 20 x 3 maze with cobble walls, ...

I heard that in the latest WorldEdit, they had a lightfix command. You may want to see how they pulled it off.

They add a non-transparent node and remove it to enforce the recalculation of the light. So do I in the new version. No more lost light, so far...

best so far, imho: minitest by PilzAdam

I really like this mod.

Seems the dependency "default" and "bucket" isn't enough for version 0.4.1. Crafting wool out of strings results in unknown item.
No problem with 0.4.2 RC1 (wool mod included).

added the tactical pickaxe :)

You are probably using minetest 0.4.1. Same issue here with this version.

Use Version 0.4.2 RC1 http://c55.me/blog/?p=1274

[...]I'm not sure either. I thought an ABM is executed for all the relevant nodes. So with one pressure plate it's just a little bit, but with tons of dirt it's more. In the walking_light mod it is done without ABM.[...] Right, it would be nice if there was an event every time a step is made. It's ...

Updated the mod.

The problem with the "not removed" lighting is still there.
The lighting node is removed but the voxel based dynamic lighting isn't always updated properly. Seems to be a problem in the minetest engine (ok, minetest isn't made for this "dynamic" dynamic lighting).

Anybody any idea?

In the optional mobs mod, you should search for bucket:nyancat and bucket:nyancat_rainbow in the init.lua and replace it with default:nyancat respectively default:nyancat_rainbow

Great mod! I tried the following 2 additions (line 36 and 38) and they worked too: if is_air ~= nil and (is_air.name == "air" or is_air.name == "default:water_source" or is_air.name == "walking_light:light")then -- print('set '..minetest.pos_to_string(ontop)) if (is_air.name == "air" or is_air.name...

Hold a torch in your hand and light up the night and cave! When a torch is wielded, a transparent lighting node is placed on players position (and removed from the old position).
