FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi all,

I have so much ideas and now i want to create a Game for Minetest. =)

This game mod should not use the default map generator.
It should use a fix map, that i have made for this game.

Do you know how i can define that in the init.lua ???

Look into the nether mod, but let me warn you: lua world generation is SLOW and BUGGY.
If you want to change only upper layers of the map, then I suggest you looking into biome_api mod.
Maybe it would be better to wait for mapgen_v7 ?

Thanks for your fast response.

I've looked at this nether mod, but i think there is an own 'nether' map generator used?!

Is there no possibility to make a world and put this in the game folder? So the game i made is loading always this map???

Something like:
MINETEST/GAME/MY_OWN_GAME/WORLD/map.sqlite
MINETEST/GAME/MY_OWN_GAME/WORLD/world.mt
... etc ...



My idea is to create an island map. There the player had to do different quests etc...

You can include a game in a world:

I had asked to find a way how i can include a self made map in a programmed minetest/game/my_game.
That game should not use the default map generator of minetest.

But the solution to the problem described by celeron55.
