Amazing work.

Looks like 22nd September really was lua mapgen day, as well as Equinox.
I'm pushing my biome system into paragen mod and will be developing that as my complex experimental mapgen.

by **Nore** » Tue Sep 24, 2013 18:07

Since I saw some people had problems with the gotos in the code, I removed them... So anyone who does not have LuaJIT can now use the mod without problems.

Nore, paragen mod biome system update, in case you're interested: Tundra biome now has permafrost nodes (permanently frozen dirt) and no dry grass, just a few dry shrubs or a thin layer of snow. Beaches now have dry shrubs higher up the beach to create dunes.

Village buildings in snowy areas should have snow on their roofs. The first image here shows the offending situation.

What else do you intend to add to this mapgen? Underground ruins would be a nice touch.

Will you consider aiding VanessaE with getting better minetestmapper support for this mod? Will you help her with giving this mod full support by her HDX Texture Packs?

Looks pretty good. Hope those new npc from the npc framework will soon be able to inhabitate our worlds.

Maybe if you put a special type of block in villages people could use it to spawn other NPCs. Was my idea for peaceful_npc

overpopulation? I think that there would only be a certain amount of NPC's with a limited lifetime... But I might be wrong...

Pretty Huge Village:

by **paramat** » Sun Oct 06, 2013 20:44

These towns are beautifully integrated into the terrain and forests.

I got some pretty epic stuff with this. Am generating (almost) all my singleplayer worlds with this.

[spoiler=Show Awesome Images]
town with mountain in the distance:

Dried streambed running from desert lake. Has another outlet to ocean, but was too large :P

A town across the channel from the mountains:

An EPIC trench that takes me 6 seconds to reach surface using fly and fast.

A high view of the mountains. I love the whole thing, especially the deep valleys and steep edges.

Yes, it is needed to make this mod run.

Hello,

I tried to use Minetest 0.4.8 and this mod work without big problems.
The only problem, my start was not so good.
I copy the singleplayer save from my game and it works.
And after a short time I found a very nice city.
Minecraft cities are so bad. I hate them. Not playable without many work on it.
This cities from the Mod are great and playable without problems.
You make a very good job, super. +1

by **Krock** » Fri Nov 29, 2013 14:48

Ehm... Ho do those cities generate or build? I've found none yet nor a command to force the generation of one :/

They generate naturally. You'll find one eventually

by **mathiaswolfgang** » Fri Nov 29, 2013 15:59

Is really easy to find a city.
Look at the Debug Text.
The first thing I see it this...

A village spawned at: x=-152 z=88

I do not see a city but I know where to look for it.
If there is no city at the beginning, then you are too far away from it.
Then choose one way and go it straight away.
Look at the debug window and you will find a city, believe me.

But I get a problem at the start again.
I spawned in earth again. Buried alive.

This is the Biomes o' Plenty Mod I was looking for!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

If I create a new world, I always spawn underground/at water level.

by **D0431791** » Wed Dec 11, 2013 00:28

How do I disable villages and related components?

The biome system was derived from this https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6736 :)

... actually i'm in the mood for adding more biomes to that now.
