[Mod] Pyramids [0.4.2 beta] [pyramids]

[Inocudom]

I like the pyramids being partially buried. It's an element of realism that I enjoy.

I really, REALLY dig (pardon the pun) the idea of Incan-style pyramids in Jungle biomes. Great idea!

Me too. Jungles need some ruins of their own.

[BlockMen]

Actually I started building an Egyptian style temple from some layouts I found online.

Series of images I'm using for the build... though it works out to be huge. I'm building the prototype on Vanessa Creative server beside Okean's chessboard (500,x,500). Plenty of rooms for traps and hordes of mummies though I can't do that on creative. I've gotten as far as layout with rising floors per section. I'm placing chests. Trying my hand at statues with circular saw with limited results. Trying to keep to the limits of the mod so it might be of some use.

Of course, if it were to be part of this mod it would have to be super rare. I can already see it as a monster to get through once the mummies are set loose. The hall and pronaos are typical ambush locations.

That would look great i guess but i fear generating would be kinda complicated and bloat the mod...

I played this mod (version 0.4) and enjoyed looking around, though the process of finding the door into the pyramid was annoying as it was buried in the sand and desert stone.

I don't have any details to offer of that bug. On the other hand, I did like the idea of a long lost pyramid.


Mod Idea: Inca Pyramid in Jungle biome. ;-)

Hmm..thought i fixed that with the desert stone :\
And the inca pyramids are a nice suggestion. But dont expect them very soon to come ;)

[LuxAtheris]

This is a great mod
+10000 for you
also i like the hurt sound.

[VanessaE]

I just realized this mod has a problem - it slows down the animations of all the player models also. This may be due to the use of global variables here which conflict default/player.lua (e.g. "animation_speed" instead of something like "mummy_animation_speed" or so).

Untested but should be fixed here: https://github.com/BlockMen/pyramids

[Johnyknowhow]

wow BlockMen,
you make soooooo many cool mods,

[LuxAtheris]

so where can I find the damage that the mummies do?

[Achilles]

Maybe you should stand in front of a mummy and let it hit you once. See how many lives you lose. :P

Im Serious

[shaheerziya]

I have a request that is can you please add a different types of pyramids like:
Egyptian Pyramid with short mummies(the biggest and strongest pyramid)
Czech Pyramids with tall mummies(2nd most strongest)
Normal Pyramids with normal mummies(At last)
Egyptian pyramids would be gigantic and be having lots of treasure(spawning: super dooper rare)
Czech would be smaller and weaker(spawning: rare)
Normal would be normal(spawning:Moderate)
Tanks in advance i would really like it if you will add this in the next version
(My 2nd most favorite mod this is and i am a kid and do not know lua.)

[Zelenavoda]

Czech Pyramids with tall mummies(2nd most strongest)
Czech would be smaller and weaker(spawning: rare)

Do you seriously think you can find desert in Czech republic?... You should take some geography lessons.

I think they should not allow patients of mental hospital to connect to internet..

[shaheerziya]

[Pitriss]

[neron]

Could you also make a version that would do minecraft desert temples and jungle temples?

[paramat]

There are pyramids and ziggurats in many places without deserts :) I wouldn't be surprised if Czech republic has them hidden somewhere.

neron, in MT 0.4.9 the dungeons are different in desert biomes and are now a type of 'desert temple', haven't seen them yet as i'm still using 0.4.8.

[Pitriss]

paramat: Ehh I live in Czech republic more than 30 years, so please stop trying to be expert for everything:// There are no pyramids at all.. Even on internet there is no trusthworthy site that will say otherwise..

[Landrover110]

cool i will download it now

Czech pyramids? Nope, sry.

Jungle Pyramids would be a really good idea... Could also make Small Castles In jungles even through this is a Pyramid mod :)

[mcfan]

For some reason I don't get the pyramid part when the pyramid generates. I just get the room and the pillars.

Maya "pyramides"/temples would be nice.

I had the mod and It worked fine for me, Also works fine on some of the servers I've seen.

BTW nice nick :P

Another one for you, BlockMen. No idea how or why this happened, I just saw it in my logs while I was searching for an unrelated crash.

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

Hi, Blockmen!
I compiled minetest from git 7a6e4dc54a3eb4187e67a21c4ece60f39bb1d13b today and tried pyramids.

I've been getting:

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

WARNING: Assignment to undeclared global "p2" inside a function at ../mods/pyramids/init.lua:137

which is part of

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_on_generated(function(minp, maxp, seed)

and line 137 is:

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

      p2 = minetest.find_node_near(mpos, 25, {"default:desert_sand"})

I really want to use this mod, but pyramids dont seem to spawn in deserts. I'm also using mapgen v7 incase that has something to do with the issue.

[Napiophelios]

add "local" to the beginning of line 137 and see if you still get the error

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 p2 = minetest.find_node_near(mpos, 25, {"default:desert_sand"})

with mapgen v7 the pyramids seem to generate under ground

[swordpaint12]

This is neat, I haven't come across a pyramid yet but it's a very nice mod!
