hello,

i dont know if somebody has the same problem, i read abt the vine and his behavior, but as i can see the trees are somehow

is this a normal behavior?

i run nature pack 0.4.2 and minetest 04.dev_20120408...

The latest version works normal only with the latest git, where a megaold ABM bug was fixed. Your version still has that bug.

:P I might use this mod for a server.

@LolManKuba

The latest version works normal only with the latest git

what does this mean exactly ???

i use the nature-0.4.2.1 which i can download from the first page in this thread and the Minetest 0.4.dev-20120408 version i can download from the main side ...

which one do i have to get from git ??

sorry for asking again

EDIT:
i already change to nature/tree_growth.lua from bitbucket reversion 6e60acc4419c cause there are different code then in the download of 0.4.2.1... but still the trees grow up high and look wired ....
EDIT
okay, after deleting the whole worlds manualy and start a new game its working...
but...just saw first time papyrus, now this is growing so high...*shig*

You have to compile minetest from git to use the latest version of this mod properly. That's because the latest update of my plugin was dedicated to the fix of an old ABM bug.

I think this mod is great but yea...growth needs its limits, nature is limited by physics and its not a bad thing. Maybe like... 100 blocks high and maybe 20 blocks for the branches. Should allow for Redwood equivlents I would think.

Fork it and make some algorithm to limit the growth :)

lol I would if I could program in C++, its somewhere on my todo list. Oh well maybe when Celeron55 impliments growth in vanilla it will have a limit. At least one would think so.

It's not written in C++. It's written in Lua, which, while a bit frustrating in parts, is pretty easy to pick up and do basic things with.

Try it before saying you can't do it. If you need some help, you can toss me an E-mail. I can't help at work, but I can help while home.

I try to make code understandable, but I haven't read lua coding conventions yet :)

Ah, if you think I'm saying your Lua, in particular, is occasionally frustrating, then I have failed again at communication, which is pretty common for me. I found both your code and the Lua in vanilla Minetest to be quite readable. I just dislike the way Lua itself handles some things. Too much syntax for me to really feel comfortable, for example.

I didn't mean you said something wrong. But I'm a java coder and I don't know Lua too much to write REALLY good code.

maybe its just my client, but flowers dont seem to grow in minetest_game, though they do in minimal worlds. :S

They grow for me, so I think it's not a bug. They grow very slowly now (because of ABM fix).

I do see (apple?)blossoms from time to time in the trees, but the grow rate for flowers on the ground is so slow that I have yet to see one.

Okay, I'll increase flower rates in 0.4.3. Thanks for feedback, i don't have possibility to test it on a live populated server :)

Attention all users!
Please post your ideas for 0.5 version! Here or in IRC (when I'll be there).

i would like some more kind of trees.

in the moment you have only the iron tree (which i dont like...anyway change that to a sort of tree i like more manualy in your code)

maybe there are pine tree's , so there is a bigger variity of colours and shapes.

Ok. I wanted to make some fruit trees but didn't have an idea of new growing algorithm for them by now. I'll think about it on weekend.

How in the world do you install this mod? The file that you download is unlike any other mod that I have seen in here.

by **VanessaE** » Sat May 12, 2012 10:55

Actually don't increase the flower rates at all, but you may want to *decrease* the (apple)blossom rates. After some time, the flowers do start to show up at about what one would want, but the blossoms are taking over all the trees :-)

How to use irontrees? (with screenshots)

by **Gambit** » Sun May 13, 2012 03:20

One thing I've notice that could add more nature is crabgrass. Like jungle grass, only shorter and not in the jungle. And more spread out rather than clumped together.

by **neko259** » Sun May 13, 2012 14:37

Sorry guys, I'm a little busy for now. I need to finish my university, and in a month I'll be developing the mod again ;)

Okay, make me some feature requests list and I will look at it when I have time. Maybe I'll even implement something ;)

I don't know what I'm missing but the textures are only showing up as strange blocks with pink words on them. How do I fix this?

Either you use old minetest with latest nature, or old nature with the latest git minetest.
