TumeniNodes, if you use the simple skybox option of just specifying a RGB colour for the whole sky it can be altered fairly smoothly with time, i did this in my snowdrift mod for an overcast sky that gets dark at night. Maybe the code will help with your own switching viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6854

Nice, thank you.
I'll look into this now.
You want a good laugh? When I was trying different ways to use the skybox with textures, I even tried giving them an alpha channel thinking I might still be able to see the clouds, sun and moon through them :P
I did see mention of using a "plane" on irrlicht forums a while back but never found out how to access the plane or any info regarding it. Not sure if it would be the small plane Minetest uses for sunset (which I have changed a few times but always revert back to the original)
I will stop filling up shara's thread with this unrelated stuff and I'll make a new post for this stuff later down the road

Added an option to enable player gravity changes while in space. This is off by default, but can be changed in the settings file for the mod.

I didn't make this one myself. A link to the original images is included in the mod if you check license information. If you spend some time searching online you should find other skyboxes like it. I didn't keep links to others I found, but there were some nice ones available under licences that allow them to be used. I didn't come across any tools for making them that took my fancy, so can't give you advice on that.

Hi jakab, you're teleporting too high.

Regular space is 5000 to 6000.
RedSky region is 6000 to 7000.

7000+ is set to "blackness", which seems to be what you're seeing here, and no asteroids will appear at this height. It's basically a reserved space where someone who knows a bit about mods can add their own custom layers.

On creativity mod I jump of meteor and fall for quite some time. Once landed huge black shadow appeared on lake, I guess its meteor shadow. It is it expected behavior?

Also sometimes I do get not enough memory error.

I believe the shadow would be a general MT issue; it's not specific to this mod. If you don't fall from the asteroid all the way to the ground, then it shouldn't happen.

Lua OOM errors are sadly a general risk from mods that handle mapgen in this way. however, OOM errors seem rare enough that it isn't a serious concern. I've run the mod on a busy server since before its public release, and only ever had one or two OOM errors a month from this mod. It seems to happen only when it generates the largest asteroids. How often is it happening for you?

It's expected but avoidable, there is a bool in the luavoxelmanip API that can stop shadows propagating down past a particular y value, it should be used in the lua mapgen that creates the upper realms.

See https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L4203
Set the bool to false only for any single layer of mapchunks you want shadows to stop at.

Often you can avoid OOM by using normal Lua instead of LuaJIT, or, compile LuaJIT with something called 'GC64' that avoids these OOM errors.

How does one use this mod? I have installed lots of mods that create new items, but this one apparently creates new terrain. Does this have to be used to create a new map somehow? Can you use it with an existing map where it would overwrite anything that happened to be at 5000-7000 high (which is probably all air anyway)?

This should work with any existing worlds. You will likely have never traveled up that high so the mapgen will never have generated the air up that high. If for some reason you did every travel up that high this mod will not generate anything there.

Is it possible to add a option to disable the skybox? I think I have some mod conflicting with it (snowdrift)

A better approach would be if the mods were compatible. If the issue is weather, do you need weather to be active once you are in space?

Yes that would be the responsibility of snowdrift to not set the skybox above a certain y.

I'd be more than happy to make any adjustments that might help in other_worlds as well. It would be nice if mods that adjusted the skybox played better with each other in general.

Great mod! I was wondering though: would it be possible to set gravity, say, on a scale of 1 to 10, instead of a binary setting?

Are you looking to customise the actual gravity values or have them vary within a layer?

The way it currently works is that gravity is set per layer, along with the skyboxes, so the gravity in the Outer Space layer is constant through that layer, but different from the gravity in the Red Space layer.

Oh! ok, I didn't notice that. I was trying to edit the gravity values, but I was only looking at the settings file.
The gravity settings are in the skybox file.

Sorry, I'm new to this whole modding thing lol

No need for a sorry. Please always feel free to ask any questions you have about the mods you find here.
