FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

version 0.2:


version 0.1 (old)


A mod to add planets and asteroids to the world,
There are Ores into them and at Moment 4 planet types:
dirt, ice, sandstone, stone
stars cooming soon.

You can simply add new planettypes by a register function,
also new ores.
At moment are these ores included:
(gravel)
iron, cooper, tin, silver, gold, diamond, mese, mithril
Technic-mod ores would be also added.

The planets are not so much as at the image, i have only added them for the Image :)

The Planets appear 2000m over sealevel,
for the spacelook i used the marssurvive mod ...

If someone wann create a planet, it is now possible, i would take it into my mod.

Nice idea,
but I think it would be nice to have a function to register a asteroid type (with rarity, max height, min height, layers (with substance, size, ores, ...), size (maybe shape), ...).

Star added! Warning! the star is hot :), if u are 40 blocks away u get damaged in survival mode!

There is sometimes a error, so that the big Planets would not be generated well,
if u use the flat mapgen it is like normal. To fly the ufo-mod is useable.

There is already a simple which i used for all planets, which allowes to change the material on surface.
I wanna improve it.
Maybe i add later an athmosphere or a ring lika at saturn.
Also Gas planets planned.

Great!

i think i fixed the map generation error, by replacing the default:stone node with one other,
which looks like default:stone and drops also cobblestone. I think the mapgen runned some other landscape
before sometimes if i ther is default stone...

If you notice some mapgeneration error please tell me!

Yes all your nodes should be mod nodes with 'is_ground_content = false' otherwise large cave overgeneration will remove 'natural' nodes such as 'default:stone' 'default:dirt' etc.

I have now improved the register function, now u can
register planets with specified:
-radius
-name :)
-ores/layers (maybe 2 spheres where one is the core and one the surface etc.)
-> every planet has now its own ores and not all the same.

Because of this ther is now only one planet, i go to add the planets i had before
now with the new system.
(now version 0.2 :) )

@paramat thank you, i go to change it at every node...

This looks cool!

Now i have a planet group registration implemented,
that registers many planets at one time, with:
- radius offset
- some nodes changed
Here is some simple planet registration:

Wow...i remember Mars has two natural satellites, maybe in our marssurvive-server,...it's time to think about that alien's planets are coming to us!!!. players in mars gather enought items/tools/...,they will be able to fly to satellites of mars,and something are waitting for them....

now u can also register a on_construct function, which has params:
-position of planet,
-planet_def

And i have added a earth like planet, (only a simple one ...) look at first post.

It is very beautiful looks like!

Have someone tested it already?

I wanna add at next caves into the asteroids. Should I use Perlinnoise for this?
I have never used Perlinnoise ...

Looks cool and +1 for the i3wm colors !

yes i3 is cool, but i wanted to know how to programm caves ....

As I know there is a flag in mapgen v6 that enables caves to be generated . They can be e enabled in minetest config
see this topic https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7588 (Here is disabling them). Also why don't you generate air in the planet. That should leave space betwene. Or see how the Nether mod implements the nether system : viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5790

I don't want that the mapgen generates caves himself in my planet. I want not so big caves inside there.
Also the mapgen only generates caves in normal llocks like dirt and stone, but not if i use other material.

Sorry i don't understand your question.
Also trees can not grow inside of other air-like blocks, so there would be only one block like if you place a sapling into stone 100m in underground.
Or do you mean why i don't generate the air there for caves?

I should made my self clear . Yes generate air blocks in caves . You can find more info in the wiki http://wiki.minetest.net/Air . I do not know mutch of map generation thought so I am not a very relieble resource :D

That all is nice, real second space mod!Can had you do Black Holes in that space, what will to suck all objects around and also players?

i think i have a idea for cave generation now (with perlin noise)
if i have time i add it ...
Isn't there already a black holes mod?

This mod has here, but there blackholes are unreal, they have to suck players and different objects around

superb idea juli ver nice i love it :)
