[Mod] Weird ores (and antigravity) [github] [weirdores]

[Zeg9]

[h]Weird ores[/h] (beautiful big red text, huh?)
Hi !
This is my latest mod, weird ores.
It adds:

• Ruby
• Antimese (see below)
• Antigravity
• More coming later

License: WTFPL
Depends: default; will maybe depend in flolands in a near future.
Download: as a .zip (or browse code on Github)
Requires latest git version of minetest for antigravity (you can disable it if you don't want to use the git version).
You can disable parts of the mod: just delete them in init.lua.

What is antimese:
Place a mese block next to a ruby block, they will disappear and an antimese crystal will appear.
Antimese can craft a really powerful pickaxe and antigravity blocks.

Last... Mod?

LAST?

:C

[Zeg9]

LAST?

:C

I ment, latest. I'll probably make some others later ;)

[Traxie21]

Phew. Ok. You make good mods! :D

[Likwid H-Craft]

Yeah Last mod form him will be Title Zeg9 Last Mod for all.

Anyways this be cool to see the Mese Randomly From as a Antimese maybe like if set.

[12Me21]

antimese should be dark blue, because that is the inverted color of mese.

does antigravity actually work?

Yeah but blue was already used by flolands... I'll try, we'll see what it gives.

And yes, it works. The global step may lag the server if there is a lot of people on though, you can disable antigravity in init.lua if you wish.

[rubenwardy]

Antigravity particles through dirt.

That looks wierd. Are there shader there, or is it a tp?

You're welcome to make antimese blue if you want :) Actually blue 'float crystal' was initially intended to be an antigravity crystal that gave the float lands their 'float', so floc and antimese could perhaps be the same thing.

In fact, I had plans to make an "alloy" of antimese and float crystal, that would make antigravity crystal or something like that.
But it's a lot too much crafting, I think I'll remove ruby (it will be aliased to floc) and have an antigravity mod.
Or alternatively you could use the antigravity code in your floating lands mod, but I don't think it's the purpose of your mod...

[paramat]

Yeah i saw your antifloc texture and was looking forward to seeing how that developed.
I have no clear idea for a purpose for floc so it would be cool if you made it a catalyst for your ores. I currently have no inspiration to develop flolands mod, i was kinda hoping someone else would fork it and develop it ... however since it is now in the c++ core it needs to have more features that make it useful alongside the core floatlands.
If you get inspired to fork and develop flolands mod yourself that's of course cool by me, license is WTFPL.

You know I don't have any more ideas, this is why this weird ores mod isn't getting updates by the way... :/
You say it's in the C++ core, but is there floc and all there ?

[paramat]

No just the basic stone structure generation onto which i believe the standard mapgen adds dirt etc., so fairly different from flolands ... haven't tried it yet still on 0.4.4.

Doesn't work for me:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

ModError: Failed to load and run
/home/user/.minetest/mods/minetest/weirdores/init.lua

And when I redirect init.lua to antigravity.lua (the others work just fine)

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

ServerError: LuaError: error:

Is the error complete ? What minetest version do you use?

[Idanwin]

Sorry:
4.6 on linux

That's all the error said.

[Zeg9]

Sorry:

That's all the error said.

Antigravity requires set_physics_override which was introduced after 0.4.6, so either try a git version, or disable the antigravity part.
Is everything else working?

[Idanwin]

Oh, I didn't see the requires git part, sorry... maybe put it slightly larger.

EDIT: The rest works fine.

Don't worry, I added this part just after I answered you, so it's normal you didn't read it.

[Idanwin]

Love it!!!
Any chance you could make a block that blocks the effects of antigravity?
Maybe loose blocks (gravel, sand) could also be levitated (or held in place) by the antigravity field...
I really look forward to seeing more weird blocks pop up!

Thanks !
Sadly, checking for entities (gravel and sand are entities) above the antigravity would make it lag a lot more.

[Idanwin]

Currently the problem with antigrav is that it gets me killed all the time ...

You could place a few slabs around the antigravity and press shift when landing, this would cancel the falling damage.
or use cushions from Jeija's jumping mod.

what version of minetest is needed?

Requires latest git version of minetest for antigravity (you can disable it if you don't want to use the git version).

Hello how do I use this mod

If I try by just put it in my mods Folder and rename it to weirdores I get the following error.

23:20:24: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA ===========

If I change the "ruby" in the get modpath to "weirdores" it loads normal but nothings in my Inventory (creative Mode)
How do I make this work?
Thanks,

I have never used creative mode so I do not know if this shows in there or not.. but a good way to check to see if it has loaded properly is to type the following command in survival mode (again.. not sure it works in creative)

/giveme weirdores:ruby

If you get a red-tinted diamond in your pack then it is loaded properly.

If it does not appear in your inventory then something else is wrong.

Also, be aware that the actual ore when you are mining uses a texture that is either very similar or identical to Kalite ore from glooptest (if you use that mod). However, Kalite will break into multiple lumps of kalite ore rather easily whereas the rubies from this mod take like 2-3 strikes with a mese pick to break.
