[Mod] Fun Caves [fun_caves]

[duane]

On my quick test i started in a nice little village with friendly villagers that were all running at me to show how welcoming they were :D

Those knuckleheads get so excited about visitors. Just wait until you spawn inside a pyramid. I would have said it would never happen until it did. Fortunately, there was a sand monster there to lend a helping hand.

The newest line of elixirs adds to the damage you do when hitting mobs with a weapon. Drink Dr Robertson's Patented Boar Strength Elixir, to get that fit, fighting, frame of mind and body. It can turn the weakest milksop into a virile specimen of manhood!

All you need are a meteorite and either syrup or a slimeball and bottle.

[duane]

I've added wooden buckets (not recommended for lava), chainsaws, and jackhammers.

[azekill_DIABLO]

duanes_world, party time

Heh, that's what people used to call my D&D campaign. I suppose I really need to rename the mod. "Fun Caves" doesn't apply all that well. Anyone have any suggestions? If I name it "weird" anything, people will complain that it isn't weird enough.

[duane]

I got tired of stumbling around in the dark, so I made a flare gun. Let there be light!



Combine the following to produce Flare Gun:
[empty], [empty], [empty]
Steel Ingot, Steel Ingot, Steel Ingot
[empty], Gun Powder, group:stick

yep that a real great idea! very funny! and i love waffles!

[TheReaperKing]

I keep getting:

mods\fun_caves\init.lua:71: attempt to call field 'get_mapgen_setting' (a nil value)

I'm using minetest 0.4.14 What am I doing wrong? Thank you!!

[azekill_DIABLO]

weird, i don't use the lastest version but i've never got this error... ask evermzah, he is using it on his server so he may know what happened :)

[everamzah]

Yeah, I told duane that it was deprecated. I use the dev version, though. Oops!

[TheReaperKing]

Tested with the newest dev binary and it works! I should have tried that first whoops. I did at least try the new minetest_game :) If new dev versions are required would it be possible to mention it in the requirements? Thanks for your hard work as always, I'm super pumped to test this!

EDIT Wow even just after trying it for a little bit I'm super impressed!! I especially love how flawlessly the chainsaw works, awesome work!!!

Is there really no waffle mod? This cannot stand!

I think I've got that working now.

Hiya,

Quick question: do the realms spawn at random spots or can I teleport to them as admin?

And if I missed this, sorry, but does mapgen v6 versus v7 make a difference?

Hiya,

It should work with any mapgen, but I generally use valleys, so v6 and v7 may have issues.

The sky realms and hellscapes are always created at the same altitude. The easiest way to get to them as admin is to give yourself the appropriate tesseract (coral for hellscapes and moonstone for the sky), but you can see the altitudes in the mapgen.lua code, in the underzones table and the if statements after 'aster = false'.

At the moment they are greater than 4000, 8400, 11000, and less than -4852, -9892, -14914, -19812, -29812. There isn't a whole lot in most of the realms except for cloudscape and Caina, because I've been focused on getting the game to work up to the point where you can go to them.

[KzoneDD]

Thanks! v6 so far, no issues. It looks insane. Great job! Also, empty or not; great places for players to build weird things. :)

[duane]

I made a few changes to giant trees to help prevent catastrophic fires. Wood near a flame will ooze sap, which tends to quench the flames eventually.

[azekill_DIABLO]

good!

[duane]

I'm overhauling the fortress code to make it more dungeon-like and easier to find. There are entrances on the surface and stairs inside. Dungeons go all the way down, only skipping the underworld zones, and getting harder as you descend. Treasure and torches are restocked regularly, along with monsters, of course.

[ozkur]

in the giant oceans, are those.... giant whales?

[duane]

I've added the new dungeons to the main branch. Treasures and monsters should spawn at the appropriate depths.

Here are some shots with false lighting:

I haven't added any whales. Maybe you're seeing another mod.

they are in the images for styx and the sky-sea.

That's just a big shark from the sharks mod. It probably looks bigger than it is because of the angle.

[duane]

I think I've managed to reduce the abm lag significantly in the latest push. There's still a lot of lag from mob activity. I doubt there's any easy way to fix that.

[duane]

I added the manticore from horror mod, lowered his stats a bit, then gave him a deadly, venomous sting. This is all you see... until you die.
