Please move the Portals API from WIP Mods to Mod Releases

viewtopic.php?t=24262

It's a separate topic to the Nether because the existence of the API doesn't affect the Nether mod, and is intended for other mods.

thanks

The Nether mod now provides an API to make it easy to define custom portals, or for other realm-ish mods to add their own portal mechanic. Players being able to build portals to other realms — like the Nether portal — allows a Minetest server to have many different realms which are discoverable and ...

There's an issue for it here, but it's good to know about if you're editing mods.

The only request I have is to add a settingtype for the nether depth. I have to manually change it each update.This looks like quite the update though! Cool! This is in PR13 , but I may have already spent all my Krock's-spare-time credits on the last PR :) Now with Nether portal API, it looks like ...

A Nether portals update has been merged. ⋅ The Nether can be used for fast-travel now. (or this can be disabled in options). ⋅ Portals interact with mesecons ⋅ Portals usually spawn on the surface instead of underground ⋅ Various other changes , I'll probably ...

I have churned it in my head billions and billions of times and have always come to the same conclusion. Simply put, there needs to be a fork of Minetest specifically tailored for modern/gaming PCs. This is ultimately the solution that the developers of GZDoom had to resort to in order to appease b...

Clearly not - me having agreed to remove it apparently causes you to keep posting more discussion.

It contained secrets for players to find, secrets for coders to find, and an unobfuscated version for those in the "ain't nobody got time for that" camp. But yes, the unobfuscated code recently fell behind master, support for Minetest's new translation features would be desirable, and obfu...

Right click changes the axis direction of the node through one of 6 options (North, South, East, West, down, up), and left click rotates it around that axis (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°), but even knowing that I often can't make sense of the orientation and just random-click until it's right. It's easier to...

There's WorldEdit

[Axe with Reach] An axe that has extra long vertical reach - you still have to chop a tree manually but with it you can chop down the tallest trees. A Minecraft player suggested to me it should have normal horizontal reach so it can't be abused in PvP, though I'm not sure if that matters in Minetes...

The lua schematics are actually necessary to support the varying node replacements that give each settlement a different wall material. When an .mts schematic is loaded replacements are done once and the result is cached, and cannot be re-done for that .mts until the server restarts. FWIW there are...

you can visit it on Illuna TechEth any time!

Wow, that should be in a Minetest gallery!

Or promotional material.

How about I have it bring up a non-interactive dialog which displays this diagram you've created? The dialog could title itself a Whittaker diagram instead of voronoi, even though it'll still be the voronoi menu that brings it up. (I also have to add the new rivers to carpathian, and add paramat's n...

A fix for this was committed to the github repo 4 days ago

Yes, but I think it would be better to fix rotation in place_schematic, no? And about the replacement, yes, load schematic can accept a replacement table on the Lua side. The problem with that is, you can't access MTS node names from Lua, and you can't access that replacement table from the engine ...

Doesn't fix rotation, but there is a way to get minetest.place_schematic() to do node replacements dynamically, I've used it in Hallelujah Mountains here and again in a PR to the Nether mod. Basically the place_schematic cache is keyed off the .mts filename, and that can be malleated. So you create ...

Kestral - you may be getting that error by not checking if the current mapgen is v6 before using biomeinfo. Leave the numbers as-is (but you can ofc round the numbers as you like). The heat and humdity in v6 is just different. No reason to touch it. Yeah, for an inspection tool there's no need to ch...

Any chance of adding MT5-ish description tables for each biome? I can certainly hard-code node_top etc. values myself, but the biomeinfo mod seems a better location for that information. Perhaps also shims like biomeinfo.get_heat(pos) that returns biomeinfo.get_v6_heat(pos) * 100 if ...

This might help , it's a PR for displaying english interpretations of the param values via the Inspector. e.g: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6390507/70888248-01defa80-2034-11ea-9546-3fb72f2e9221.png It's not documentation or authoritative, it's just what I worked out to add the feature,...

There's a new version up on github which is faster and fixes the shadows problem, but I haven't uploaded it to content DB yet: The mod is currently broken if combined with MCL2 (version 0.53.4). Lots of the floating islands will have all the tree species at once, which looks awkward. The mod also cr...

[Original thread was lost to the Great Forum Disk Corruption of May 2019, this thread's just a tribute] https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=20722&sid=6cdcbfe87bab838e254c8452c4a8c53f "Less Dirt" extends the grass growth on the side of blocks so rolling hills ...

The mod is currently broken if combined with MCL2 (version 0.53.4). Lots of the floating islands will have all the tree species at once, which looks awkward. Might be one for paramat's expertise... MCL2 registers its trees as biome-specific decorations, and Hallelujah Mountains invokes minetest.gen...

I'll look into custom-recalculating the lighting under islands, though it may fail if there's another mod hooked into on_generated that runs calc_lighting() on the chunk after Hallelujah Mountains has finished. It is all about generation, not rendering for a player. Initial lighting is created at ma...
