Finally added remaining aotearoa and australia content to gal_ecology_plants and gal_ecology_trees. Cause you can never have enough realism in a virtual world during a global pandemic........ Now, to achieve earth like realism, it's time to redecorate ecosystems... https://forum.minetest.net/downloa...

@duane, That is a naturally occuring surface level cave that spawned, with the lake inside. The mods are my voronoi mapgen with a 3d noise blended in, which produced the cave. The lake was made using my lib_lakes mod, which is really the bergsee mod from octacians OCD2 game, itself a continuation of...

It would be interesting to conduct one more experiment.

Can you add the aliases to the old mod, updating the aliases to point to the old mod nodes, and turn the "aliased" nodes back into the old mod nodes?

@Termos, @MisterE, Thank you both for such detailed info. After accumulating a number of mobs_redo mobs, reworking the spawn ABM, and still feeling like they are nothing more than randomly moving entities, I am still left wanting. Even with Advanced_NPC, smart_mobs, and nssm, I feel like life in MT ...

This is like asking what are bananas still missing over oranges, at this point. But hey! If you like paying money for things that have free alternatives, MC. If you want a freely available and far more robust choice, MT. If you want a simple child like game, on par with candycrush, get MC. If you wa...

So is there good documentation / code organization to assist with identifying which functions would be used setting up the various mods. I've got around 65 animals, and at least 20 monster mobs, all mobs_redo. If general performance is improved, I'd like to consider moving the mobs from mobs_redo. H...

Little house in a cave.

3D noise based terrain, superimposed upon my voronoi mapgen.


A lava lake formed within the 3D generated terrain, at surface level.

karamel, The changes that I made to implement poschangelib into gal are listed here: gal.lib.poschange . It is really nothing more than renaming the poschangelib namespace to fit within gal. As for the naturalslopeslib, the reasons I cannot implement this in the same way, is that naturalslopeslib re...

I've been using this mod for some time now. I've only used it for the softer materials, dirt, sand, clay and some leaves. I had always avoided sloped stone, preferring the jaggedness that the block nodes provide for stone. Until now. With this update that now includes inverted slopes, and in a more ...

Grasshut villages finally added to my lib_towns mod. So many more schematics to update to make upwards of 15 to 20 different themed village types. This would include mesoamerican, nomadic, tribal, egyptian, middle eastern, arabic, indian, and at least three european architectural styles. Would reall...

One place where it might be usefull to check for the existance of a table, instead of checking for the mod, is when there are several mods which provide the same api. In that case you don't care if mod stairs_A or stairs_B is instaled, as long as both provide the function stairs.register_stair() it...

So I've created an Earthlike world, complete with continents and oceans and mountains. Generating this map alone at normal scale, (60km x 60km), is possible, and considering the RPG possibilities, it makes for an almost infinite game. Instead, I scale the map by 0.1, for a 6km x 6km world. Everythin...

... until you edit the setting again ... still with the sharp borders when used on the same map I guess .. any chances ever of changing values on an existing map and the mapgen generates smooth borders to newly created content? Create a mod that blends from one setting to the next. Instead of hard ...

There are countless mods where the mod name is not the name of the object created. 3d_armor mod makes armor object. It's best to at least "know" the code before coding against it. :) Look at the furnace, it uses furnace_active and furnace_inactive, but provides default:furnace, or for a ti...

One of my very first managers taught me the importance of not using Windows "cut". Working in Pagemaker files that contained directory listings on the order of hundreds of thousands of entries. Instead, the manager taught me to copy/paste, and then delete "cut" copy manually. Suc...

The depends is correct, but not global_exist. Look for armor, not 3d_armor. There is no 3d_armor object.

I seem to recall someone did something along that line around here sometime in the last year.

I thought it'd be a cool idea because my son and I enjoy STK and MT.

If I'm not mistaken, 31000 meters in all directions equates to 60km x 60km x 60km. Unless you are building with code, I can't see one person or even a small team actually filling the void. That's a good sized megalopolis in the real world. Not to mention the hard disk space in actually emerging such...

Not to mention, by collaborating with another project, MT essentially gains more devs who are already well versed in the language and requisite skillset. This is only a WIN / WIN. Not to mention cross marketing with a rather well known foss game can up MTs stature and status as a must have go to ope...

Josselin2, This project is hard to describe, honestly. It is a game. This game includes some concepts that improve performance, (lower memory and processing footprint), expand capabilities, or just simply updates the codebase to more recent or efficient means. Loading data from .csv files means that...

@Voxelproof, Best of health to ya! Keep yer chin up! An earth-like voronoi based map. This is 600x600, so entire world scaled at 0.01. Note the general distribution of deserts, rainforests, continents, oceans, and polar ice caps. Still tweaking some of this for even more "realism". https:/...

Gael, No offense on the lone wolf lack of collaboration. You clearly know what you are doing, and are probably better off working lone wolf due to that fact. You are attentive and open to suggestions and that makes this collaborative, even if you are still the only one doing any work. :) As for the ...

At one point, stu, the creator of 3darmor, cobled together a collection of mods for the player. It included player_api, 3d_armor, clothing, character_creator, homedecor_wardrobe, multiskin, skin_admin, skins, skinsdb, and wieldview. Whether it all worked, I can't remember. I recall numerous issues. ...
