FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This is a fairly simple mod that adds a bunch of nodes that allow you to build a tron looking world. The mod is packaged with the MIT public license (a little more official than the DWTFYW license) and is available for use however you wish.

License: MIT public license for both original textures and code

/).- Can't believe I forgot that

The tronblocks look good.
Two small remarks for now:
- the tron arrow block has a cross and a 'x' on 2 of its 6 sides
- the tron arrow block, left tron arrow block and right tron arrow block are the same blocks when placing them from another direction. Same for the the tron parallel and the tron horizontal parallel blocks and tron line/tron Vertical line blocks. Maybe one will be sufficient.

thats cool

Looks good.

I had corners in mind when creating the arrows, crosses and X's. or if you want to create a road divider. as for the lines and parallels, those are for the sideways shot. I don't really see an issue with giving people a few more options to build with.Thank you for the feedback though.

Major update: moreblocks' circular saw support for tiles, glow box, stone, X, grid, and cross added, as well as aliases. link in first post.

and just so everyone knows, I would love to see this on a server. I want to play a world with it, that has other people on it.

This looks interesting. I will test on my junior gamers :)

Would be great to see a Tron themed world generator. Largely flat world with some structures.

Any chance of light cycles?

spillz, see https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=8604

look at my tronrealm modpack for a full tron realm. as for lightcycles, if I knew how to do them, I would instantly. Unfortunatrely, I don't have those skills... yet.

edit: curse you paramat! you're a ninja!!

update: texture fix

Hello

Looks really cool. But it is not compatible with moreblocks.

I would love to see it fixed.
Thanks,

Check for a modpath isn't enough.
I mean moreores mod is supported, but moreores should be in a soft-dependencies list.
Done like this: in depends.txt.
This will load moreores prior to Tron Blocks ant thus register_slab would be defined.

Sorry guy
That does´nt change anything the incompability with moreblocks still persists.
Thanks anyways,
JPR
