still not available to download and try though? : (

There is a repo on github, but not much to try yet

https://github.com/MarkuBu/minetest_rolad

ok, I'll wait. I know It will be worth it

I will focus on biomes next time. Suggestions are welcome

Playing around with colors

Renamed default tree to oaktree and removed the apples. I want to get rid of these "default trees" and give them a name

Preview of the deciduous forest for my subgame. Not final yet. More plants will be added and textures might be changed a little bit. And the grass blocks will be replaced by a more forest like soil.

heh, great minds think alike.... (well, one great mind..., and me) :P
I did the same thing, except, I kept default tree and named it completely as "apple_tree". The plan is to either make them yield more apples or just make a leaves texture with apples in it. Then, when those leaf nodes are dug, they drop maybe a few apples...
When you eat an apple it leaves seeds to plant. Haven't coded any of this yet though, of course (so if that idea is something you like as well and you would probably be able to code it far better than I could) hint :D

And I really love the look of the grass_1 - 5 on every node you've done, it looks awesome.

I change the use of the tree schematics. I have now a generic schematic and can call a function with trunks and leaves, so you can create a tree that looks like the default tree, but uses pine tree trunks and leaves for example. Or a tree that looks like a pine tree, but has palm leaves.

I can use the same schematic to make an apple tree, just by adding new trunk and leaves. But I want to leave the apples visible, or make leaf blocks with an apple texture. Have to think about that

The ground for the forest will change. Different soil, less grass and more moss and ferns. But grasslands will look like this

Mese ore is glowing, Mese blocks are a little bit brighter. Mese will be the mystic material from a meteor which is used for some kind of simple technology



Default torches in my game will not burn forever like in MTG and give only a light level of 10. For permanent light I will add two mese torches with 12 and 14 light levels.

I will remove a lot of KISS from the code. I don't like mass registrations in loops like flowers or grass. This makes everything unflexible. Each biome gets it's own registrations

Add wield light. Can be disabled in advanced settings



And Mese tools become more useful. The emit light like a torch

I have add the Github link to the first post. There are a lot of updates today. I add a lot of bushes from nodebox trees mod (thanks to D00Med and toby109tt). Torches and Mese tools are emitting light (wield light) and many small changes

Feel free to try it out

Comparison between MTG and RoLaD, same seed, same coordinate.

Thanks for the shout out :)

Leaves use the leaf.obj from the nodebox trees mod, but this will be optional



Grass nodes are now bigger and randomly displaced. This looks just awesome



And ferns have 6 faces instead of 4 which looks great too



Just a few visual improvements, but they make a big difference

it's a black screen. *facepalm*

Not really. Look closer

now that you ssaid it yes, i dumb.

Before I continue to add more nodes and stuff I need to work at the RPG components because I realized that this effects also nodes and tools.

I add some more informations to the first post
