About multi-channel wireless mesecons, look at this: https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-mesecons/pull/110

Mauvebic: with my mod, there are barriers, and a few differences between realms: sea level, sea material (lava/water), tree size, frequency and materials.
EDIT: it is at y=20000

You need to get a more recent version of Minetest (at least 0.4.6, IRC)

Could you post the lines just before that? (about 10 lines)

1. Did you read that: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6450
2. If this does not help, could you post the error message?

Mauvebic: I am currently doing something like that, but it is not very developped yet. You can still try it at https://github.com/Novatux/realms

@VanessaE: Hoping this topic will get sticky:

I've seen enough "bug reports" of mods not working because of naming conventions, so I will explain these here briefly: - Modpacks folders can be named with any name, but the subfolders inside must follow naming conventions - Mods must have a name corresponding to the nodes/items/etc. they...

It is because calinou_mods or mesecons are modpacks, so the name of the modpack folder does not care. However, pipeworks is a mod, so it should be called pipeworks to follow the naming conventions.

I saw in IRC that it was possible with VoxelManipulator... However, I have no idea how to do it.

I just changed my video driver from radeon to the amd proprietary one, and now it is much faster, but I get now the same error (which I had not before): GLSL not available. Minetest info: Irrlicht Engine version 1.7.3 Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 Using renderer: OpenGL 1.4 AMD R...

Where does the VoxelArea thing come from? It gives me a nil value error when I try to run that code...

Did you try to add a neighbors = {"void"} field to the ABM ? It will avoid unecessary operations.

Is it water at the top of the map? That looks strange on a moon... @mauvebic: were you finally able to finish your code for an atmosphere? If so, I'd like to see it. paramat: If you want faster generation for those who have the indev release, without affecting the generation time for the others, use...

I have a little suggestion: add some way to smooth the terrain around the places where you place buildings, so it is not visible that you are adding dirt_with_grass around it...

We need a function to change the time for only one player, and to change his stars/moon/sun background... We could get real space...

This code will replace all air between heights ymin and ymax with void. Notes: - Not perfect, still little holes. You can register 2 times more ores, and they will disappear. - You need to add it *after* the code of paramat, and *not* in an on_generated function. Else, his replacing of air with ston...

It would be quite easy... (2 lines code, very fast to execute with minetest.register_ore) The hard part is to add air physics after that.

If you change the tree spawn code to be in lua, use only one schematic for the whole map chunck, and then add it, it will be faster than the spawn_tree calls (it allows for example to fill a block with stone in less than a second, so it will be faster than the current code if you want to spawn a lea...

It will perhaps be fixed by that: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/790

A 3D Dwarf Fortress? That would take years to code! And it would have to be done with the engine itself, and no control for lua, so bad.

I think you should base them on REAL elements then make the Minetest ones Compounds. Also remember that not all element's names have to be 2 letters. Well, two letters is easier to remember than two, and, actually, have you seen the periodic table, as it contains two letters max for each element. T...

You need to post your mods in Modding General and then ask them to be moved to Mod Releases.

paramat, you should try to use the new functions to set multiple nodes that were added today: it is now insanely fast (less than a few seconds for a full chunck). I am doing a mod that creates multiple realms at y=20000, and it went at least 100 times faster with the new version. Here is the code: (...

You should also modify the replace code, or add lua code that checks if every node has been replaced, because there are still lots of air bubbles in the stone (perhaps register_ore 16 times instead of 8 will be enough)

Your mods are amazing, as always... A problem with the tint is the transition between the different levels of tint, and the fact that the sky will change whenever we are above/below ground. Moreover, you should add a function that places tint again when a node is dug.

paramat has made a mod for that (the chasm mod)

PseudoRandom is buggy (I've seen cases where it generates always the same number, and sometimes that caused regurlarly-spaced nyan cats (one every 80 nodes)), so I use math.randomseed(seed) followed by math.random.
