[Mod] NonCubic Blocks Mod [1.4] [noncubic]

[kazzam]

Thanks for clearing this up. I didn't know you had to use stairs to craft the recipes.

Hi kazzam,

No Problem.
In the next Mod Update, stairs mod is no longer needed.

The Milling Machine Block works very well and makes the recipes unnecessary =)

Based on your idea and after having trouble with too many slabs and panels filling up my inventory, I wrote a mod for stairsplus. The circular saw mod only covers stairs from stairsplus.

[yves_de_beck]

There it is!!!! =D

The Milling Machine:

[kazzam]

When will the milling machine be available?

i prever this version where the milling menu is transparency :(

its more modern than the background image

and it looks uniform, better suited to other menus

Hi Addi,

let us vote!

Alternatively, I could also add a option in the init.lua

Might look something like:
....
-----------------
detail level = 32
old_style_menu = true
-----------------
....

Hey Kazzam,

It is already available =)

-----------------
detail level = 32
old_style_menu = true
-----------------
....

thats might a solution on singleplayer but whats with multiplayer?
this config shuld be in mintest.conf
may: allow_menu_background = false
so each player can chose for itself if it want to use the background image

btw: it works in 0.4.3 and there is no background (yippie)

what i mean with the background is the chat menu is transparent and the main menu, chest menu, furnace menu, inventory,hud with selected block ,...
so i think it fits better to the other menus

but thats realy a great mod!

this is a mod that minetest makes a lot better! i realy like it

Hi Addi,

Ok, you're right. Its much better to config that in the minetest.conf.
I will implement it one of next updates.

Thank you! =)

WOW THIS LOOKS EPIC!

[Ragnar]

umm...how long did it take to minetes.register_* all of those?

Hi Ragnar,

not very long on my eeepc (it's a very slow machine - Intel Atom 1,6GHz 1Gb Ram) it takes about 10 sec to load from main menu into the game.

NonCubic Blocks V1.3 out

- Glass temporarily removed:
It looks not good with the default texture. Comes back in one of the next versions

- Milling machine now has transparent menu as default:
But you can change it back in the init.lua

- make some restrictions with dirt:
Make a bit more realism. You can't make spheres or sticks from dirt.

- Mod Code optimized

- Crafted NonCubics with Dirt now have the grass texture on top and sides

Take a look:


Let's implement it in the Map Generator =D =D =D

[M@]

could you add this block that fits in a corner and makes it smooth?

[Likwid H-Craft]

Hi Likwid H-Craft

I do not think that makes sense. xD

Fluids flowing away simply, Just after the the shape has been created... ;)

Thanks!

[yves_de_beck]

Hello all,

Example of Lying Slope and the One / Two Curved Block of some materials:

[Likwid H-Craft]

Can you make, Small to Huge Blocks?

Can you make, Small to Huge Blocks?

I'm not shure, if i have understand you.

You can craft half height blocks to normal height blocks in ths mod, if you mean that??

[Likwid H-Craft]

no I mean Like have 20 x 20 Block Size or what ever the, true size of the, block make it 2x Bigger then it Normal size.

[yves_de_beck]

Okay I understand you.

That's no problem to make.... but make it sense to place so big blocks??? For what tasks do you need so big blocks???

[Likwid H-Craft]

Idk maybe make a House or something.

[Cybersoft]

I was thinking, could some engine changes be made to accomodate the creation of curves/slopes/etc on a large scale in the game?

Maybe a structure could be defined (ie: arched doorway) and you could build/destroy the whole structure, but not a specific block from it. ie: there would be a block generator that generate part of the archway as actual dynamic blocks - but those blocks wouldn't be saved, only the structure would be.

hmm i think u shuld build your house by self not by a big cube
and for build houses there exist a lot of blocks ^^

I see it as well. With many slim block is there more individualism than with some big blocks.
Further i have to take care, to make not to many blocks in my mod. To many blocks make the registering process on loading the game longer and longer. Furthermore it will be buggy with to much shapes in game.

But wy don't you make a mod with big blocks, Likwid H-Craft? Try it out =)
