scifi_nodes | MOD I was surprised to find scifi_nodes in this list. According to git repo, there is not (anymore?) NC licensed content. Or at least I could not find reference to that clause in license files. It may be a mistake or missing update. EDIT : Sorry, haven't read FreeGamers post before po...

and if it was a local game then tell us what mods do you use :D

I truly hope it is :)

You should tell a bit more about context. Fist of all, which server where you connected to ? Or was it a local game ?

Since this is generated programmatically, is it very CPU intensive?

I tried to make it as much optimized as I could but it could still be intensive, depending on what you call intensive.

Hi, You can not test item group with your code : local name = minetest.get_node(pos).name if name ~= "default:group_sand" In that code name holds the item string, i.e. "default:sand", it will never be equal to "default:group_sand" (which corresponds to nothing btw). Ins...

Likely to be something different (game has evolved a lot in 8 years).

You should give some more information :
- Operating System (Windows/Linux + Distribution + version);
- Content of debug.txt;
- When does freeze happen;
- Any other information that may help;

Use the line equations : x = x0 + dx * p y = y0 + dy * p z = z0 + dz * p (dx, dy, dz) is the direction vector. (x0, y0, z0) is the starting point. Manage to have the maximum absolute of its coordinates = 1 (easy to do by dividing coordinates by the max absolute value) Then you can simply do p = p + ...

First of all, you need a computer to run the server. It could be a computer at home but it have to be powered on when your players want to join. It could also be a server hosted in a datacenter by a company. IMO this solution is not expensive (a few € or $ per month) regarding to the service. You ha...

Good games are more than a collection of mods on top of MTG. If they were just that, then there's no need for games - you could just use a modpack. Good games customise their content to achieve polish, and often aren't based on Minetest Game at all. I totally agree with Rubenwardy. Making games is ...

I dont know whats the difference between the display and the game, but one of those two for sure! Ok, I dont know how to describe it :D If it's a FPS issue, this could be due to the huge amount of leaf nodes. It could be an ABM issue or something like that (game computation) but no extra ABM is sup...

First, because of the lag XD

Can you tell me more ?
What is laggy ? Map generation, display, game ?

I see, this is an issue with Lua not Jit. Thought all MT instances would use LuaJIT now.

The change is in mapgen stuff so it wont affect the command.

But actually, v6 has no biomes so trees will only spawn with /grow_grund command. I'm not sure to setup any rule for tree spawning. Biomes are so good at that.

Are you looking to build more concepts from the original narrative?

Not sure yet. I think the original game is too poor regarding to what Minetest can do but it could be found to develop something around it.

Mapgen V6 and it will be online on sunday :)

Mapgen V6 is ready. I have to add a privilege on the command to prevent abusing.

Once again, growing such large trees is very destructive :)

Stellar work! Does the algorithm support trees of different scale? Yes ! They are randomly generated according to (a lot of) settings. I started to describe them and I'll post some example of some different trees. They can have any size. They should be big enough to have a correct looking (I guess ...

they look fantastic now will i be able to scale them and build a tree house up there ?ariel walk ways from tree to tree ? that would be really sound if possible . Hehe :) From the beginning, I'm hopping to see someone build a village in these trees. You can have a look at Below the Root , the old v...

Very impressive looking and very decorative. Thanks! Perhaps other things than the trees ought to be enlarged in that world as well. Yes, a sort of Lilliputian world. Algorithm, wich is very different from usual mapgen algorithm can probably create much more than trees. But for now I'm foccusing on...

Ok, I have to adapt to v6, not so complicated but the command wont work until adapted.

runs wrote:What is the difference with pyrollo's one?

The difference is: I have no glider mod at all :D

Hi Gundul, hope you're doing well. Actually I had a chat command at first to test trees. I guess the command is still here but the area is not large enough. End of branches are cut. That can be fixed but the main thing is that it is very destructive. It can put a mess in a cube larger than 100x100x1...

This mapgen could interest you : viewtopic.php?t=20840

I haven't yet worked on integration to other mods permitting to "stack" worlds. But that would be interesting to do it so. I guess there will be answers about such "stacking" mods here soon.

Would it be complicated to use wooden planks (or trunks) for the tree stem? Hi Krock, I dont realy understand your suggestion. Is it about using existing planks or trunk nodes ? This is very easy but I created new ones because I think they are not really adapted. If it's a matter of textures, they ...

This mod adds a biome with giant trees. It is inspired from an old Apple II game named "Below the root". This mod is in development stage and should not be used on servers yet. I'd like to have suggestions and may be help designing biome and stuff. Trees are programmatically generated (the...

Something quite light that can be done : translate accentuated letters to simple letters. This would work for most latin languages.

EDIT: Sorry, that is already done :)
