[Mod] Snow Biomes [3.2] [snow]

[Temperest]

That would be great.

[Splizard]

Snow biomes is now on github: https://github.com/Splizard/minetest-mod-snow

[marzin]

In MT ALL biomes have a sharp borders.

So why snow biome should be different?

[Temperest]

Sharp borders look jarring and make the game less immersive, in my opinion. A smooth transition between the different biomes would add a lot to the game.

In other words, I'd personally like to see smooth transitions between ALL biomes.

[tonyka]

I like this mod, a magnificent work ...

[Splizard]

Pine tree

Should I create pine wood/leaves or stay with defaults?

[jin_xi]

here is one vote for pine wood and leaves (needles?)

[Temperest]

I like having a single type of wood. My vote goes with the default tree nodes.

[marzin]

I think should be default wood but pine leaves (needles :D)

[Calinou]

I vote for pine trees, giving pine wooden planks when crafted, like in Minecraft.

[Splizard]

Thanks for the replies, I will go with what marzin said (default wood with pine needles for leaves).
The pine needles will drop saplings that grow into pine trees.

Beautiful, it looks just like a native part of MineTest.

@Splizard

hello i just working on a pinetree too, maybe you want to add this into your code when i am done..



but still working on the direction of the slope leaves so that they point into the different directions, also like in my birch mod the trees should have a certain variation on height and (mabe shape) evertime they are set thru the abm function

[inkelyad]

Thanks for the info Ill look into that.

You can do it like this:

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

[SKIP]
           --Check if we are in a "Snow biome"
                local in_biome = false
                local test = perlin1:get2d({x=x, y=z})
                if test > 0.73 or (test > 0.43 and pr:next(0,29) > (0.73 - test) * 100 ) then
                    in_biome = true
                end
                if in_biome then
                    -- Find ground level (0...15)
[SKIP]

Version 1.2 released!
Adds pine trees, dry shrubs, moss and alpine biomes.

@inkelyad
Thanks I might include that in the next version.

@tkerwel
Sorry I probably wont use those trees since snow nodes cant be placed over the leaves and I would like to stick with the default block shape for trees and leaves.

[Temperest]

Whoa, pine trees are simply lovely.

[leo_rockway]

Hello, I just registered in this forum to say that this mod is amazing.

Just one thing I'd add:
The snowblock and the snowballs in the inventory are missing tooltips.

Keep up the great work =]

Also, I don't know if this is possible with the API, but if friction could be lowered when walking on ice, that would be neat.

[Splizard]

@leo_rockway
Thanks I'm glad you like it :)

I have fixed the tooltips for the next version and no, friction is not possible with the API at the moment.
(That would be cool though!)

Look at this:



This is the most unique biome I have ever seen. I wonder how this could have happened. Notice that Nodes without snow are dirt with grass and all others are stone or ore.

I like the snow directly on top of the stone though. Is that a feature of the snow biome mod?

[Temperest]

I believe the plants are interfering with snow placement.

[Bas080]

Ice bergs would be more impressive it they have height and depth. Now they look more like ice sheets.

[rubenwardy]

I believe the plants are interfering with snow placement.

Should make snow kill all non-snow growing plants...

[Splizard]

@Bas080
What mod are you using for the plants? Try adding "snow" to the depends.txt of that mod.
Yes the snow on stone is an alpine biome.

My own plants mod. Adding depend will make the snow mod perform before plants?

Btw i'm making jungle biome. For now I made jungle trees that are max 20 nodes high. I'm checking out your code to see how you made smooth biomes.

Yes, depending on snow mod should run snow mod's on_generated before the other mod.
I hope you get jungle biomes working, would be nice to see jungles back in the game :)

[GloopMaster]

when destroying the block below it, snow doesnt come into your inventory as snowballs.

[Splizard]

That is intentional, would you rather it goes in to your inventory?

[FooeytheMiner]

YAY! :D Snow Biomes!

[GloopMaster]

Yes, or at least make that snow fall to the block below it (e.g. make it a falling node like the other, larger snow block).

[Michael Eh?]

I wouldn't mind if this was also sensitive to map coordinates. Like the higher (or lower) in the North or South of the map the more likely you run into Snow with +29000 more or less ALL snow biome.
