Can I rerun mapgen on a region somehow?
I have a very old world and some parts of it were generated with old generators. I want to regenerate them with current generator. Is this possible with this mod or any other?

l think l read somewhere that someone made a python mapfix script.

I don't want to regen whole map, just a region. I would be best to select it with worldedit.
Maybe someone can suggest a lua code to run mapgen on a region? I recall worldedit being able to run plain lua code.

You might do a backup of your world, then open the database with sqlite3, calculate the id of the mapblock you want to have re-generated, and delete that on sql level. Then the mapchunk (usually a block of 5x5x5 maplocks of 16x16x16 nodes, so 80x80x80 blocks alltogether) will be regenerated automaticly. Adjacent parts (up to 15 further nodes in each direction) might be harmed by cavegen.

I know I can do that in "raw-way", but I want a tool to do that from the game.

lf you start minetest two times and join the same world (singleplayer) two times at the same time, …

I have a world that I have put a lot of effort into. I have been trying out mods, and deleting them when I decide that it wasn't what i wanted. Now I have these ugly unknown blocks everywhere. I have seen a few suggestions on the minetest forums that worldEdit is able to remove all the unknown blocks in my world. I cannot figure out how to do so though. Can you help me by explaining how I would do so?

by **superschizo** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 13:36

I would like to add that //fixlight is still causing problems. This is a great mod, but it seems one needs the mapfix mod also to fix lighting issues. The fixlight command has crashed my game, or it freezes up for a long time without fixing the light issues. BTW, I'm running ubuntu 14.10 with minetest 0.4.10 (from the software center) on this computer with a 2.7 gHz CPU and 3 gb ram.

Commit bb8456b71119ca6303b9e9706829a84dc7f81ab3 broke stack2 by deleting copy2. It also broke orient by switching from calling add_node to set_node, while defining a local copy of swap_node but not set_node.

Link to list of commands is broken.

WorldEdit has its own savefile format, the .we files. My mg_villages mod needs to be able to read these structures, and I don't like the idea of having to replicate the code for reading all those versions which are supported by WorldEdit. Would it be possible to offer basic library functions for reading WorldEdit files? worldedit/serialization.lua contains a load_schematic function which does what I need (apart from relying on globals originx, originy and originz). Sadly, this function is a local one, so it can't be called externally.
I'd love to have that load_schematic function as part of builtin. WorldEdit is a quasi-standard for exchanging buildings and structures, so having support for it in the game would be extremly helpful.

by **Hybrid Dog** » Fri Mar 06, 2015 16:17

l prefer mts schematics, they're a lot smaller.

by **paramat** » Sun Mar 08, 2015 08:15

Anyone else notice the .mts file creating feature is broken? when i try to use the resulting file in another mod it doesn't work. I tried to track down the problem with no luck, i will try to write a new specialised mod that does this. At the moment i am forced to use lua table defined schematics, which are actually nice to work with for smaller structures.

I built a house with mese and the mesecons went haywire.
The meselamp turned on and off and the mese block turned white.

by **Diamond knight** » Sun May 10, 2015 18:29

mese conducts mesecon signals

they turn whiter when powered

by **SlowMo24** » Sun May 17, 2015 14:07

Hey,

i have a problem with the combination of mesecons with the worldEdit mod and i don't know, how to solve it:

when i place pressureplates with the worldEdit-mod, they don't change their state anymore. If they are placed as _off they will not change to on, when walking over them.
Strangely, the node-detector works fine.

Can anybody explain?

cheers

SloMo24, you have already asked this question in the Mesecons thread and it has been answered:

Is there a short explanation about the fields that are used in .we files?
Especially the "meta", "param1" & "param2"?

That's pretty straightforward if you know about modding for MT in general. Blocks are not only those cubic things with a side length of one meter - they may also for example contain an inventory (chests, furnaces) or i.e. have inscriptions on a sign or an owner. Such things are stored in something called "metadata". "param1" is afaik related to lighting. "param2" is usually used for storing the facedir value of a node - i.e. if it faces north, south, east, west - or any of the other possible rotations.

The latest WE don't save any files for me if used from GUI.

House built, region set, save does nothing.
I've tried to create /schems dir in my world dir but that didn't work.

Any suggestions (aside from using chat commands, since chat commands work just fine)?

Great mod.

Setting everything through the command line is a bit tedious for large/complex structures though.

How about adding some tools?
one tool: p sets position one when used
two tool: p sets position two when used
fill tool: fills the region/volume between position one and two with the block in the next inventory resp. hotbar slot
fill hollow tool: like the fill tool, but only walls, ceiling and floor are filled

Not having to type the comands over and over again would speed up the process alot imho.

l didn't add special params to it yet, e.g. filling in the next wielded item name.

I've tried it on realtest, grailtest, and minetest.

You have world edit in 2 locations. In mods and in mod/plantlife. Delete the one in plantlife.

Oh, I do? Thanks, I'll go take care of that.
