Re: [mod] Underground Realms [0.8] [caverealms]

It looks like HeroOfTheWinds is gone from Minetest for all eternity too... From what I can tell he falls off the face of the Earth every little while, I highly doubt that he has left MT. Aye, I haven't left, I've just been buried under Computation Physics, Data Structures, Computer Organization and...

Re: [mod] Underground Realms [0.8] [caverealms]

That isn't really the problem I'm thinking of, though that could potentially be one too. The problem with MT mods is the lack of client-side prediction. E.G. the client application doesn't smooth out movements and attacks of mobs by having the server and the client compute the AI of the mobs... Lead...

Re: [mod] Underground Realms [0.8] [caverealms]

What if this also was able to use mobs_redo and make a King Dungeoun Master mob that only spawned in his castle? And what if only one, HUGE one was generated? You don't know how much I wished MT had the right set up for a "boss-mob" mod... I really want to have a boss down in the Dungeon ...

Re: [mod] Underground Realms [0.8] [caverealms]

This should be the MT version of the Nether!!! XP I almost feel as if an ancient (alien? Think where Mese came from...) civilisation lived down here at one time... Either way the caves are beautiful, but do you think that they could generate farther down? I like that you don't have to mine too far ...

Re: [mod] Underground Realms [0.8] [caverealms]

Thank you, and I'm glad you like the caves so much! The idea of being able to harvest sticks down in the CaveRealms intrigues me. I rather like the idea, and I'll try thinking of some plausible way for sticks to be down there. That said, college keeps me very busy, so it could be some time before I ...

Re: [Mod] Mob Spawners [0.9.5] [mobspawn]

I have a few questions & suggestions. 1) Is this a block that you place 2) Are there seperate spawners for each mob? 3) Can you please let the spawners spawn user-specified itemstrings? 1) Yes. 2) Yup. 3) I've been a bit too busy as of late to do much Minetest coding, but that would be an inter...

Yeah, sadly that is an engine-side problem. I can't do much about it, but I can posit that the shadows will not appear if the land if generated before the islands above it.

Re: Ensure to be loaded last

Considering that such a mod must have some sort of formspec or chat dialogue, it would not need to preload the other mods. It can merely compile the list when requested. And to do so, it would be very easy to reference the registered_* tables to find those items. (perhaps even tweak them?) Since you...

Re: [Mod] Enchantments

I believe that is some sort of string of unicode characters, though I couldn't say which ones they are. I could search through the thousands of special characters, but I really don't feel like it.

Otherwise, neat mod! Now we need a version that incorporates Wuzzy's [mana] mod.

Re: [Game] Sky-Test [0.5] [beta]

Same day fix!

I think I fixed the error, it doesn't crash, but it doesn't change the mapgen either the way it should. Hopefully it's the same on your end. Also, I applied the fix for missing textures.

Hopefully I can get some more goodies available within the coming weeks.

Fooljap, what version of Minetest are you using? It works for me in Minetest 0.4.12. I'm not sure about the first error, looks like voxelmanip failed.

Re: [Game] Fractured [0.01] [WIP]

The reason you aren't getting the same noise every time is because the seed gets "added" to the world's seed. Hence, it will be the same if you keep BOTH seeds the same, but changing one affects the other. I'm trying to toy with a few ideas... One thing I noticed is that your tower size is...

Check the code in falling.lua. Or better yet, look at the related file in my Caverealms mod. Just adjust a few of the velocity parameters, and you can change the direction of movement.

No problem. Hmm... That is a problem I wish I could say "yes" to, but sadly, no, you can't force gen chunks. Besides, it is a headache to make slanting structures in mapgen. Since you're only using 2 axes, it isn't a problem, but with 3, the math involved is crazy. In any case, your best a...
