How about a mod that spawns a kingdom near first spawn?

[Traxie21]

could someone make a mod that adds mud and dry mud. i want to build a quick shelter but dirt just doesnt seem sensible so i thought why not mud. Then i remembered this game doesnt have mud. the one thing that it must have is a easy recipe that you can make from the begining

has anyone taken up this project. also mud would be like a liquid that you either have to cook ar place on dry land to get dry mud.

I was working on this, got a TON of progress done on it..... AND
My SD card corrupted itself, lost a ton of work files, and all my in-progress mod files.


SUPER PISSED.

I'll get around to finishing this soon.

Be warned, this version of mud is highly erosive, and if left alone, can dig a massive cave system, littering it with dirt.

Fortunately, this erosive mud can only be achived by letting flowing sandmud (found at the edges of bodies of water) contact dirt.

what types of mud are there. and can they dry into blocks.

[Traxie21]

Sandmud: WIP, dosnt do much ATM.

Mud: HIGHLY EROSIVE: dries into dirt. is capable of adding more source blocks to itself, and will spread as far as it possibly can. If controlled, can dig out areas for you, without you having to do it yourself.

could you make it dry into like a hardened mud cause my idea was to get mud and then dry it to make a harder dirt.

[Traxie21]

I could. I only use dirt ATM because the mud is just a darker texture of the dirt.
The main thing I aim to do with this is to make it a controlled mining/large-area-terraforming tool, with disasterous consquences if used improperly. >:D

awsome +10

[Traxie21]

Vid didn't upload properly.

I can't work on this today, but I'll try to make a release by Monday.

Its both fun and annoying, I keep running into problems that are so easy to fix, but I invent complicated solutions that only half-work.

[jojoa1997]

can someone someone make a mod that allows you to choose the seed when in the client

[AspireMint]

Hello,
my idea - mod that download (only yours) buildings (from multiplayer) to pc, so you can save your work, and use it in singleplayer :)
(because everything what you see is loaded to pc, so we need script on client side that save your work)
Is it possible?

[Casimir]

Could be done using worldedit. But the server would have to install the mod.

Mod request: mod package manager.

You have a file named repos.list which contains mod repository links list. Mod repositories can be rsync, git, mercurial etc. A repository is a folder with some files named: modname.mod

Example modname.mod:

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

name=Mod name
description=Some mod
min_minetest_version=0.4.1234
max_minetest_version=0.4.4634
depends=default,flowers,othermod
src=http://link_to_mod_folder


And you have some modmanager.sh script with search, info, install, remove commands. I would implement that by myself but I don't have enough time for this.

I think you already understood I stole the idea from portage, but simplified it a bit :)

when will you make a topic with a release

That would be great! Right now, we could write a mod that works on the server and sends the area e.g. via email or loads it up somewhere. The client has the data about the nodes somewhere. Big problem here: How do you select which area you want to be saved? Also it might be intresting if the client would cache received chunks so that they are present the next time the client connects and only changed chunks have to be sent again. That might make it easier to view huge areas and save bandwith.

[AspireMint]

I mean mode only on client side. (but then its cheating? :S)
- "How do you select which area you want to be saved?"
by walking :) , so everythink what you see (and its yours = you are owner of land) will be automatically saved to your pc.
start/stop recording: with command?

Saving everything might be possible. Local commands don't work with the current LUA interface. And your client has no idea which land you own :-) It's something that needs to be done at the c++ level.
Some people seem to have modified their clients so that they can more or less fly without the fly priv.

The min_... and max_minetest_version can't be done, but i made one.

There is also a simple bash (linux) mod installer and windows mod installer I've done:

I'm too lazy to check, it wasn't posted here before :P
Elevator - not as in minecraft, but as moving platform... maybe using code from UFO, boats or carts ;)
We can put rail on wall (vertical, maybe horizontal too), and platform will be moving with us...

Is it possible to save loaded (in cache) terrain as world file?

Someone needs to make TNT that only has a horizontal blast, for clearing floors and stuff

[cactuz_pl]

Idea: Instant house, wall, monument or something else.

I think it can "grow"/"appear" like trees.

cornernote made a mod like this, with npc's

In theory, the L-System tree generation code could be abused to spawn whole buildings, big or small, as long as they only need a max of three materials and the shape can be reduced to a series of turtle commands.

A system to protect an area, only if the owner is not connected to the server; if you are connected you protect the area alone.

[REQUEST] make a chatcommand reset the global map to a predefined map, maybe addon for worldedit.
make sure it resets the WHOLE map, not just the loaded chunks. could be done with python to replace a file, but this needs to be done in-game.

You can use Python+SQLite to do anything you want with the file. It won't cause issues. Read below:

When any process wants to write, it must lock the entire database file for the duration of its update. But that normally only takes a few milliseconds. Other processes just wait on the writer to finish then continue about their business. Other embedded SQL database engines typically only allow a single process to connect to the database at once.

[markveidemanis]

So basically, i want to make a python program to replace a file? That doesn't sound too hard...
But what about for only part of a map?
