[WORLD] SHUPA TESTER (shupaz) GAME

[leetelate]

baby shupa (500 * 500) world is available below if anyone wants to check it out

i'd like to know if the water is flowing and what do you think of the water flowing, and the map (both little and big)

had to do it as a world because of the gen time and getting the water to flow right

there are a few surprises here and there - terrain, water and biomes now 100% generated on the fly from pgm

instructions: download from the attachment below and untar into WORLDS folder (not mods) - start minetest and it should show up - hit play
download link: https://forum.minetest.net/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&item=37&download=1

license: my stuff is always WTFPL - the game also includes default stuff from minetest-game - see the README

there are snow, desert, grassland and jungle biomes - many thanks to all who have gone before into this and for being the greatest coders!!!

you have no fly, no fast and no creative mode - there is more to the shupa world than just mining and building - it is designed to be explored, and requires you to use your wits from everything to crossing a river to avoiding getting killed at night by the boomshrooms - explore, survive, enjoy the surprises

this game contains:

BOOMSHROOMs - i always wanted a creeper - just don't be caught in the dark at night - calmer, but still dangerous

CLOCKBLOCK - because we're always clockblocked at nightfall by the boomshrooms
crafted with steel in a diamond shape with a wood in the middle (or just steal one from somewhere)
XSX
SWS
XSX
shows a sun and moon that rotate to show the current day/night time in the game
use it from inventory (like eating an apple) to change day to night or night to day - also can be done by rightclicking the placed block

COALFROMWOOD - burn woodplanks in a furnace to make charcoal

SHUPAZ - the guts - a baby version of the shupa world (for testing) - from mapgen to mapping, this is where the magic happens

STONECHESTS - like chests but made out of stone - crafted like a furnace out of stone but with a group:sand in the middle - features take-all and put-all buttons that work great now

STUPIDBEDS - craft it with wood like a cup with leaves in the middle
XXX
WLW
WWW
you can only sleep at night - rightclick to get into bed and it will be morning in 5 seconds - nothing more than a place to sleep

STUPIDMAP - a map block crafted with 3 default:leaves XXX/LLL/XXX
use it from inventory (like eating an apple) to open up a big non-updating version - use it from inventory again to hide the big map
the bubblegumGPS markers work (except for the bouy which didn't make it)
Standard (bullseye): XDX/DXD/XDX works with either dirt or sand now - Home (H) DXX/DXD/XDX - Mine (M) XXD/DXD/XDX

VEGGIES - food generation and a food hud - remember to eat - apples work fine and every tree has at least one apple now

WOODENBUCKET - bucket hack for wood instead of steel

And a few other mods thrown in for fun. No creative mode. Plenty of ores. That's about it, since it is a tester.

Enjoy,

Interesting, now downloading.

[paramat]

Okay downloaded but this is a game, not a world, perhaps you mean it should be moved into to the ganes folder? I'm going to try loading just the world to see what happens.

[leetelate]

yeah, it is a game, and it goes into the WORLDS folder - that is how it works - the game (mods and all) is inside the world and is self-sufficient - minetest will not use any other mods than the ones in the game (although you can cheat by going into the game/mods folder and add them there) - the game handles it all from inside the world

if it needs to be moved, then you will have to move it - i have no permissions to post in that topic apparently

i edited the title to show it was a game, even though it shows up in minetest as a world

Thanks, my mistake, i have little knowledge of installing worlds and games.

[leetelate]

that's about all i do now lol - i adore the lua voxel thingy!

i found another error - if you dig down far enough you wil find hell - i used the content id for air and it no exist anymore so that reverts to 0 which is fire. a lake of fire (looks like the nether had a nightmare).
after a few minutes the lake o flame calms down and you can go down there

Nice little world, i had fun swimming the rivers, and they were flowing properly in most places, it seems any non-flow is due to MT's buggy water, not a problem with the mod. I found some surprises, also a possible bug: empty shafts under trees in snow biomes (but i installed the world without the game mods, into 0.4.7 stable, so perhaps that is why).

[leetelate]

eeek! - empy shafts under trees in the snow biomes?


lol i found it in the code - 'wtf was i thinking' moment for the millionth time

thanks a lot for taking the time to check it out - the "many eyes make bugs small" i saw somewhere on here


Updates:
Tree holes are fixed. Missed an 'or' in an 'if'.
Hell is fixed. Don't put air, just leave it blank and that is the same thing apparently.
i really need to decide on the big map or the little map - one of them has to go - i'm voting for updating the big map and losing the little map since it can't scroll with this implementation of the hud (and it is a pain to produce the guides to make the slices). i can always bring it back if scrolling images are ever implemented in the hud. i'll want to do the big map like in Far Cry if that is possible.

Far Cry 2 map popup was a hud although it looked like you were holding it - it even bobbed
