Extex, Most mapgens I've seen determine the surface, and then drill down to place those. You'll have to determine the surface. Once you do, you can use the biome definition data to determine how deep to go down for placing the filler and top nodes of the biome def. The advantage is that as you find ...

SB66, If you'd be willing to make some schematics out of those, I think I can make them look like an organically made city in a mod. The ziggurat, towers, and wall sections could easily be combined with some other desert like schems that I've collected for some amazing builds. This shows my yet to b...

As Dokimi pointed out, succession is a relevant "variable" when defining a biome. Succession means time. This particularity means that a lua mapgen that accounts for time, evolution, and plate tectonics is the only means of accomplishing this feat. The same is true for many of the examples...

Playing Exile by Dokimi . Here's a player who doesn't know how to sleep on a bed: https://rwdy.uk/4A8HX.png When you are so terrible at everything, even the laws of physics break before you, just so you would fail. Looks like me hiding from coronavirii...... OSS: I like playing this map https://for...

paramat, Is that 255 biome limit a hard coded limit? In my lib_materials mod, I define very close to that number of biomes, and had hoped to expand that further. I use the heat / humidity points of (0, 25, 50, 75, 100) for a total of 25. I also define up to 8 altitudes for those 25 heat/humid point ...

The ecosystems scheme that I use in lib_ecology allows the "biome variants". In lib_ecology, I generate additional dirts into the biome "dirt", or node top. For example, the biome def uses "dirt with grass" as the node top. I generate, say, "dirt with dry grass&quo...

There are actually 3 points of biome definition. Heat, humidity, and altitude. Additionally, you can define a biome to exist only within a given area using those options. An additional degree of definition, and one that is sorely under utilized, is the actual dirt. Just because you define the top no...

And that collection of battle tested mods is the actual base that I use, and am actively refactoring into the topic name. PROPOSAL: Game Development Base. A base of mods, battle tested, updated, and offered as a base upon which to write mods. But mods that are not hard coded to MTG, as most of those...

I feel like I should chime in here. I initially chose the lib_ name scheme to have my mods, or customizations of others mods, show up in the list in an obvious way. Poor reason, but I stuck with it.... :( However, I would like to point out that lib_mat / lib_eco are libraries, in a sense. The code w...

FYI, I am currently in the process of integrating this mod into my own lib_materials / lib_ecology mods. Any nodes that are "ground" are put into lib_materials, and all plant and tree nodes are going into lib_ecology. I am also including the Australia, Farming, and XOcean mods, and will mo...

Fleshing out biomes in preparation for adding the remainder of farming and xocean, as well as, aoteara and australia. Currently, there are about 65-70 unique trees and 80+ plants and mushrooms. Adding the above mods will almost double those figures. The landscapes are stunning. This works with all m...

firefox,

This should have been corrected in the last release. If that is not the case, I will push an update soon, that addresses this and other issues.

Thanks for reporting.

runs,

Look for highland_pools by paramat or lakes by Sokomine. There was also a lakes mod in the Cataclysm game.

As always, you can also see what can be done with lib_materials / lib_ecology. :)

Melkor,

That last image, of the bike, doesn't show. Your work is impressive, though!

Are you posting any of these models for availability, or just the pics for show?

If you are sharing the models, where might they be?


Shad

twoelk, It would be helpful if you provided more info. paramat's very new minipelli minimal game might be missing something also. There can be no expectation that an older published mod that works, is compatible with a game that was just released in the last few days. Having said that, what, specifi...

Coming soon! lib_towns. Multiple town types, layouts, on the fly node replacements and featuring roads. More to come... Will require lib_materials / lib_ecology, and others. I'll work on making this as dependency free as possible, but villages need nodes, and those nodes have to come from somewhere....

Since your asking for shameless plugs.

lib_materials and lib_ecology. See sig below for links

Shad

@texmex What view distance is that? The nodes are so small, that looks like a real picture... ;) So what is that texture pack? Natures' Own? ;) You really should try lib_materials / lib_ecology mods. :D They are the closest you'll get to that very nice pic. Shad https://forum.minetest.net/download/...

Evolution_Pixels,

Again, thanks for the pull req. It has been merged.

Hello Cartmic, Currently, I have been developing on MTv5.0.1. As for the issue you report, this is common when lib_materials / lib_ecology are used in combination with other mods that also define their own biomes. Ethereal, valleys_c, australia, and aoteara are all mods that clear registered biomes,...

I prefer the ease of use that comes with Notepad++, but have abandoned Windows in favor of Lubuntu. Alas, there is no Notepad++ for Linux, or I just haven't stumbled upon it... :( Sad, since it is based on Scintilla. Open to suggestions for a quality text editor or IDE, that is not vim, emacs, or so...

For the record, that error almost ALWAYS means a typo or omission. It hits me more than I care to admit.
