[Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
lib_clouds for Minetest is a mod that adds inworld clouds to your world. Currently, this mod attempts to mimic real world cloud behavior, using a system culled from Dokimi's Self Organizing Systems mod. This is controlled by using the lib_clouds_regeneration setting, which is currently set to false by default.
As such, this now includes a "Lite" version, enabled by default, that simply adds three types of clouds at various heights. Cloud generation and height parameters are configurable via in-game settings menu.
Biomes can be supported so that clouds appear in natural settings.
The goal is to grow this mod, (no pun intended) into an in-world weather system, using more the more realistic in_game generated data versus the current system based on self organizing systems.
Goals:
1. Add humidity and temperature, so that clouds also hold moisture, that if exceeds a threshold, will cause rain, snow, or even storms.
2. Fine tune regen algorithms to more closely mimic real cloud behavior.
Will honor reasonable pull requests.
LICENSES: I'd like to encourage this to be added to upstream, so if needs change just say the word.
Code: BSD
Textures: CC-BY-SA
DOWNLOAD HERE: lib_clouds
DEPENDENCIES:
Optional: Initllib, doc

Are you able to color the clouds by a texture?

Re: [mod]Clouds for Minetest[lib_clouds] [v1.0] [minetest v0
It is technically possible thought it would be hard to render texture properly on so huge and random structure. However, if it's simple to do I wonder why it hasn't been done yet!GamingAssociation39 wrote:Are you able to color the clouds by a texture?
EDIT: nvm, I didn't know how the mod worked!

The clouds are a texture, with partial transparency. I've not tried to colorize them. I do not know if colorizing the texture using Minetest api in the tiles definition would work. Again, I've not tried this.
However, it would probably be just as easy to simply create a new texture that has the color(s) desired, keeping the transparency, and either change the code to use the new texture, or copy/paste the code to add additional cloud types, such as smog, gas, Mars themed or any other type one could think of.
My goal has been to work towards basing clouds on humidity/temperature inworld, and integrating this with a weather mod, so that you get rain/snow where appropriate.
Would you like this included?

Re: [mod]Clouds for Minetest[lib_clouds] [v1.0] [minetest v0
As far as me is concerned I'd be delighted :) It's very interesting and improving the sky looks is imo one of the more important things to work on in order to give Minetest a distinct and attractive appearance. I've started a thread about clouds: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18970 - maybe the example I included there would be some inspiration for you.

Re: [Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
Hmmm... Interesting. I only just noticed this. I'm guessing this is using stuff from my Doomsday mod (looking at the code...)?
I actually tried my own weather mod in Self Organizing Systems (Autosky). Admittedly it doesn't work very well, but you are welcome to incorporate everything you want from it. If you end up borrowing a lot from Autosky I'll add a link sending people here (I'm not going to develop Autosky any further).
Best of luck with my often incoherent rambling code!

Re: [Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
Edit: Nevermind, I realized it was just that one type of cloud that wasn't transparent. In the interests of not making cloudlands difficult to expore, I made those transparent too.
Great mod!

Re: [Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
Just wondering: Do you have plans on modelling the whole water cycle with water generated on the ground during rain and evaporating into clouds during the day?

Re: [Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
I had considered those dynamics, but worried about the cost to processing.
I can see where a combo of node timers and the ability to now read biome, temperature and humidity values from the map could be easily shaped into a better atmosphere system, one that could be used in games like Mars Survive as well.
The issue I've been experiencing lately, is that I am just not seeing the clouds generate in world anymore. I've not looked too deeply at the cause, but I have been wanting to do some different things with this mod, now that MT v5 has it's own Cloud API.

Re: [Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
just disabled mt cloud api and using yours instead with regional weather . the idea of adding coloured clouds was a good one .
coloured clouds was listed as one of MCs top mods. i must say it looked very impressive in the review . also very impressed by the terrain images you have been posting too .

cuthbertdoublebarrel,
Glad you like this mod and the pics I've posted.
This mod does need some TLC, or a fork. There is also the Smoke mod. Something in between this and that I think.

Re: [Mod]Clouds[v2.0] [lib_clouds]
This look incredible, I gonna try it out =}
By the way, do you think it would work with Skybox?
