The mod will automatically select singlenode mapgen.
Uses the custom skybox, altered gravity and 'override_day_night_ratio': the brightness of the terrain stays constant and is independant of server time.
You will spawn inside an egg on the bright side of the moon, with the sun and the crescent of the normal realm overhead.
You will be provided with a spacesuit and initial equipment. Break your way out of the egg and use the lights inside as your initial supply of lights.
Mine moon stone and build a well-sealed base (edge- or corner-connected nodes will still leak air), the airlock nodes can be walked through but will not let life support air pass.
Place the airgen node in the centre of the base and wait for the air to spread.
Place hydroponic liquid in at least 2 nodes depth of moon dirt and wait for it to saturate and turn the moon dirt into orange moon 'soil', then plant a sapling, this will only grow in 2 nodes depth of moon soil under a 5x5x6 node volume of air.
The appletree provides apples and leaves for crafting more hydroponic liquid.

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.

Aha yes good idea.
And yeah the tint transition should be smoother, next version.

How about some alien ruins for this alien world? They could be made out of some kind of metal that is found in the fissures and have glass domes that are made out of the sand.

Will there be meseors here?

Yeah meseors.
Alien ruins is a good idea i'm interested in architecture generation.

The tinted atmosphere was a crazy experiment but problematic, i have now removed that and doubled the scale of the surface to 2 chunks. A few other things i want to do before the next version.

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)

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: (it is WTFPL, and if there are unused variabled, it is because it is base on your code ;) )
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

local STOTHR = 0.15 -- 0.15 -- Stone noise threshold. Controls maximum depth of dust.

local DUSDIS = 40 -- 40 -- Dust thinning distance in nodes.
local DUSAVY = 20 -- 20 -- Average y where dust starts to thin, relative to minp.y.
local DUSAMP = 20 -- 20 -- Amplitude of that thinning level.
local DUSRAN = 2 -- 2 -- +- Randomness of that thinning level.

local CAVOFF = 0.015 -- 0.015 -- Cave offset. Size of underground caves.
local CAVDIS = 56 -- 56 -- Cave thinning distance in nodes.

local ATMALP = 32 -- 32 -- Alpha of above ground atmosphere
local ATMTHR3 = 0.1 -- 0.1 -- Atmosphere noise thresholds. Controls smooth transition from orange tinted air to normal air underground -- .
local ATMTHR4 = 0.2 -- 0.2 --
local ATMTHR5 = 0.3 -- 0.3 --

local DEBUG = true

Keep up the good work, you're one of the rare (imaginative) ones.

I played around with it, pretty cool. Though the atmosphere nodes were preventing me from placing doors (since they look for air). I also found that w/o atmosphere, the realm generates 2-3x faster on my (newest/average) rig. I was also slightly confused why Mars would be called moonrealm :P but i hacked around and added a moon layer.

Tweaked moonrealm : moon @ y= 10K, mars @ y= 20K

I think the next step might be to add realm-specific ores/resources to give the players a reason to reach the other realms.

ex. moon realm with little base:

Yeah i noticed the air bubbles and discovered they are due to the number of 'register ore's. Trying to get a balance between speed and lack of bubbles i decided Pilzadam's value of 8 is reasonable, the bubbles are only a problem if they make fissure walls excessively pitted.
Thanks for posting the code with the new functions, this is exciting news and i look forward to using them in 0.4.8 (yeah i only use stable releases so i'lll have to wait).

mauvebic, thanks :) Yeah one of the many reasons i removed the atmosphere nodes was generation speed.
EDIT I like that moonbase.

Making use of your mods and nodes again, Mauvebic? I once asked Starseed to do a review of your MM6 modpack, but he hasn't been doing any videos lately.

The irony is i don't remember building that base (national holiday, 3 day weekend ;), it's even got a beer brewery in the basement lol

But yes, i still use my stuff, i just don't publish, so your friend would be better off reviewing something else :p

Paramat: how easy would it be to convert all the air nodes of these realm(s) into something else like vacuum? Would be cool if oxygen farming was a necessity for survival :-)

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.

You can use PM to ask people personal questions, otherwise you have to expect anwers from others.

I wrote a nether mod myself that completly differs from the other nether mod.

Well when you have a clear answer let me know (hint, RTFM and such answers wont do).

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 stone will not work since it will have already been replaced with void
- You need to change the fissure creating code so it places void instead of doing remove_node.

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
for i=1,8 do
    minetest.register_ore({
        ore_type       = "scatter",
        ore            = "void",
        wherein        = "air",
        clust_scarcity = 1,
        clust_num_ores = 1,
        clust_size     = 1,
        height_min     = ymin,
        height_max     = ymax,
    })

Well version 0.1.0 replaced all air nodes with tinted atmosphere nodes so yo could work from that, however as you know that slows generation a lot so ...
Use the register ore hack to replace air with void between 'ymaxq' and 'ymaxq - 159', edit the code so the 'register ores' section looks 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.

    for i=1,8 do
        minetest.register_ore({
            ore_type       = "scatter",
            ore            = "moonrealm:moonstone",
            wherein        = "air",
            clust_scarcity = 1,
            clust_num_ores = 1,
            clust_size     = 1,
            height_min     = yminq,
            height_max     = ymaxq - 160,
        })
    end
    for i=1, 10 do
        minetest.register_ore({
            ore_type       = "scatter",
            ore            = "void",
            wherein        = "air",
            clust_scarcity = 1,
            clust_num_ores = 1,
            clust_size     = 1,
            height_min     = ymaxq - 159,
            height_max     = ATMTOP,
        })
    end
end

And add another parameter
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
local ATMTOP = 30000


Then as Nore said in the fissure code add void instead of 'remove node' (line 209 version 0.2.0).
There may be bubbles of air left over here and there but at least they'll be invisible, if they are a problem then increase 'i' for more iterations.
Nore wrote:You need to add it *after* the code of paramat, and *not* in an on_generated function. Else, his replacing of air with stone will not work since it will have already been replaced with void

Luckily not a problem since there are 2 parts to this realm: 'underground' yminq to ymaxq -160, and 'surface chunks' from ymaxq - 159 to ymaxq.

i tacked this onto the end of the latest version (020):
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
minetest.register_node(":air", {
    description = "Air",
    inventory_image = "unknown_node.png",
    wield_image = "unknown_node.png",
    drawtype = "airlike",
    paramtype = "light",
    sunlight_propagates = true,
    walkable = false,
    pointable = false,
    diggable = false,
    buildable_to = true,
    air_equivalent = true,
    drop = "",
--    groups = {not_in_creative_inventory=1},
})
minetest.register_node(":void", {
    description = "Void (you hacker you!)",
    inventory_image = "unknown_node.png",
    wield_image = "unknown_node.png",
    drawtype = "airlike",
    paramtype = "light",
    sunlight_propagates = true,
    walkable = false,
    pointable = false,
    diggable = false,
    buildable_to = true,
    air_equivalent = true,
    drop = "",
    groups = {not_in_creative_inventory=1},
    damage_per_second = 2,
    post_effect_color = {a=64, r=255, g=148, b=0},
})
for i=1,8 do
    minetest.register_ore({
        ore_type       = "scatter",
        ore            = 'void',
        wherein        = 'air',
        clust_scarcity = 1,
        clust_num_ores = 1,
        clust_size     = 1,
        height_min     = 14000,
        height_max     = 30000,
    })
end


Basically i want all air above y = 14000 to be void (airlike vacuum w/ damage). I havent written abm's for group = leaves to produce air or for air to be sucked out towards vacuum yet.

Yeah that will work but the register ore should be 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
for i=1,8 do
    minetest.register_ore({
        ore_type       = "scatter",
        ore            = 'void',
        wherein        = 'air',
        clust_scarcity = 1,
        clust_num_ores = 1,
        clust_size     = 1,
        height_min     = ymaxq - 159,
        height_max     = 30000,
    })
end

... because the 'underground' volume between 14000 (yminq) and ymaxq - 160 is air already turned to moonstone by 'nether mod register ore black magic'. Putting the ymaxq - 159 parameter in there makes it flexible.

The realm top and bottom parameters YMAX and YMIN are quantised to ymaxq and yminq, the chunk edges.

    end
end

And add another parameter

The order of the register ore statements is important i think it determines the order of execution.

Anyways it's good to see someone else likes the atmosphere nodes idea, i'm now inspired to write that back in but of course done instead by register ore to make it fast ... duh.
It certainly looked a bit sickly and especially bad at night or in a cave, so now i have the idea of keeping it as a low altitude surface mist that clears smoothly with altitude and as you enter the caves below.
The important thing being being able to have a good night sky at mid to high altitude ... i am actually obsessed with space and that murky orange night sky looks worse than your average city night sky.

Anyone using this mod may find my spacesuit mod useful as a very simple, cute and crude way to get vacuum / poisonous atmosphere damage.
