[Mod] Lava Cooling Renewed [lavacooling]

[deivan]

Lava Cooling Renewed [lavacooling]
I rewrite many of the code from the original lavacooling for resolve some problems here in my game and the mod is operational now. My starting problem is the impossibility of the use of one geothermal power generator with stones... :D

Now if lava have more air than lava in direct contact (face-to-face) then the lava is cooling and eventuality become molten rock and after some time, some type of rock. Some times (5%) the rock have some minerals and eventually (2%) some rare minerals.

If lava have direct contact with water the shock make pumice stone. Like glass...

If molten rock is immerse into lava then he heat and eventuality become lava again.

The diagonals don't count as contact to my mod.

I changed all textures to avoid problems with owners of the others.

I have some dependency from mods:
- Technic
- More ores

I don't see any problem and stay using the GPL licence.

So it works less laggy? If it does it's cool!
looking forward to downloading it.
and hey, Y U deleted screenshots with my TP? *sadface*

You should override default.cool_lava_flowing and default.cool_lava_source with empty functions to disable the lavacooling in the default game.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

default.cool_lava_flowing = function() end
default.cool_lava_source = function() end


[deivan]

Or I make a option to config it, like a command "/lavacooling disable" or enable. This is enough?

[deivan]

I implemented the chat command /lavacooling with two options at this point, enable and disable.

ie.: /lavacooling disable

Only to disable the cooling process or enable without the need of the restart of the game. The game don't remember the last state then every time is starting disabled. I implement a memory in some days. I think. :D

Releasing a new version soon.

[deivan]

Now I see in the changelog this mod in the core game... Not the same, I will test it soon. But my have many options. :D

[deivan]

My mod is very complex to leave now. :D

Development still active.
To do:
- Soft compatibility with snow
- Secondary mod (lavacooling_products,?) dependent of this one who make:
- Items of pumice, is a stone with low density, maybe a make a ship or you make a hose in the water. :D
- Items of obsidian, is like a glass-stone, maybe I make a more dark glass and some small weapons like a axes and knifes.
- Improvement of the performance of the system
- Better textures, I don't am happy with my artist's skills. Oo

Repaired some problems with my new versions of library utility, better random generation now, I think, diamonds sub-mod updated to. Released version 08/04/2013.
I tested for 10 minutes without slow downs of crashes. :D

[deivan]

Released a minor update. Updating my library.

[deivan]

I split my mods and my library, in this format I don't need a new release to all if I update the library. I only update the library to fix any problem. :D

[deivan]

I think I need the idea from PilzAdam about override default.cool_lava_flowing and default.cool_lava_source to repair the natural path of this mod... :-P Maybe in the next version. :D

[deivan]

Ok, new version is ready, now when enabled this mod override the default game system for the lava, if disabled, the functions will return to normal.

I make the process little more uncertain than the original but the lava between two sources eventually become another lava source. Easy and operational. :D

[deivan]

I changed the default state of the mode from disabled to enabled, or it or all geothermal generators will be disabled. :-/

Removed materials:
- lavacooling:obsidian (now is default:obsidian)
- lavacooling:obsidian_shard (now is default:obsidian_shard)

Removed crafts:
- lavacooling:obsidian_shard

Added alias to cover any trouble in old games. :D

[deivan]

Removed dependence (still supported but is "soft") from mods technic and moreores, I relase a new version in few days. I need more tests, many changes in the core. :D

[deivan]

Ok, lavacooling is updated now. Have support to the command /reload who reload materials from technic and moreores, if the mod is loaded after this two. Is a soft dependence then don't is a problem if you don't have one of this mods.

[deivan]

Ok, new version released. This update is only to give a better balance to the spawn routine give 5% of chance to spawn a metal and 2% of chance to spawn a rare metal both including from the technic or from the moreores.

[deivan]

New version...

[deivan]

No problem with the version 0.4.7. All ok here with this mod.

[deivan]

Thanks. Problem solved. ;)

[hoodedice]

Thanks. Problem solved. ;)

Good to see that you're still maintaining this ^.^

However, I suggest that you:

1. Upload your mod to GitHub, OR
2. Attach it as a forum attachment.

This is so that if you cannot maintain your mod anymore, people can still download it from here or from GitHub.

Also, the download link for domb is down.

[deivan]

Well, in the last week I am doing some maintenance work then, well, this happened. But is my server then is more easy to me to support it in this format. The domb is here, I miss a letter in the URL in the link, I already corrected it now.

I centralized all my mods in a single topic, here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5617.

Any problem, please report. Thanks.
