[Mod] DarkAge [0.4] [darkage]

[MasterGollum]

to be honest, i don't like your textures (like the half of the defaults ), so i'll try to make realistish (somewhat realistic) textures for dwarves.

LOL with 16x16 I do what I can, if you do better ones I gladly replace my own textures with yours if you allow me
btw I near finished the DarkAge wiki, it took me a lot of time!

Not everyone is an artist, and even then it must be difficult to make then of good quality when they are 16x.

Release 0.4

• Reinforced blocks
• Shelves
• More stairs
• Stone bricks: I noticed that 32 textures turns the bricks in sort of random stones, this new node can offers the possibility to put a more regular texture for stones "cobbles", it is not very useful for 16x16 texture packs
• White marble and serpentine (green marble)
• Changed several stone generation frequencies and sizes of the layers
• Changed craft of Wooden Frame
• Lamp

Plus partial support for 32x32 textures, I just started to change some textures for a lightly upper version. They are in the textures32 folder, just rename it to take a look, they are really a few of them, but I will be adding more 32x32 in the next releases.

Now I will stop a little from DarkAge and prepare some new MODs that will use my Crafter MOD, a pottery mod just for add more decoration elements and a Mosaic MOD for add more color to the constructions.

If someone is using this MOD and can tell me if the map generation is becoming laggy I will appreciate the feedback.

Pretty textures

why do you need reinforced blocks?

[MasterGollum]

why do you need reinforced blocks?

Look the screenshots, it is a way to end the upper part of the buildings. I saw them in several medieval minecraft buildings and I loved them. I know my texture 16x16 sucks a little I promise I will do a better one 32x32.

Thank you Not so good as I wanted but it is harder than I thought lol

Would this interfere with my stonebricks mod at all?

It doesn't have to, you are using different recipes. Even is 2 blocks has the same name, they will not cause problems, because they are in different MODs. So they have a different prefix.

you forgot to put building.lua in the latest release. or at least i can't find it.

You are right, I'm sorry, I corrected the problem.

no screenshot no download

They have tons of screenshots man, just don't be lazy and click the links

Every single node has been depicted and documented, the wiki has more 70 images, and in Flickr I posted 14 screenshots. I guess it is more than enough. Take a look to the first post for more details.

Stairs
dofile(minetest.get_modpath("darkage").."/stairs.lua")
I will add more stairs, now only Slate Tales and Straw have stairs and slabs.

Use stairsplus mod, you will get then not only the stairs, but panels, slabs, microblocks...

I saw the mod, but I felt it too much, like breaking the minimalistic approach of the construction in Minetest. Anyway I can take a look and add it as an addon for the people who like to build with so small pieces.

you have made pretty nice job with the stone generation
if you could help me with such a problem, i want to add obsidian to my mod which is supposed only to
be found around lava lakes.
ive played with your generate stratus routine but without success.

First of all I want to say that your Mod impressed me, you are doing an amazing job there, the video of the laser mining is cool I was thinking to do the same for my basalt, but I'm not sure how to do it. In the wiki it's said that lava lakes are a biome, if so, maybe we can check the perlin noise, but I don't have any clue about the perlin values of default biomes. That will be great to know them! Alternatively we can take random nodes and check for the presence of lava in their proximity with find_node_near, but I fear that can be inefficient and with a performance cost if we want to check many points.

Maybe I found the solution, take a look at habitat mod for the mod Plants.

You can test for lava nodes and if you found them, then run the layer generation.

could you add the download link to the house in the screenshot and explain where the different blocks can be used
and how they could be used effectively to make a good looking house
Thank You

Umm what do you mean as download link? this is part of a city that I'm building in my standalone Minetest. I just Googled Minecraft medieval to search examples of houses and take inspiration for my own constructions. You have good ones fore example here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/ ... dle-98192/

In the models you see in this picture I used:
First floor: Stone Block (still not available, will be in version 0.5), Cobblestone and Tree.
Second floor: Stone bricks and tree
Third floor: Cobblestone with Plaster, Reinforced Planks and the roof is stairs and slabs of Basalt
Inside all the floors are done with Basalt.

If you need more details, please tell me, I can take more detailed screenshots.

I think he means a download link to that world or a worldedit schematic of it.

The building of the picture is not isolated. It forms part of a more complex structure of a street. So doesn't make sense to provide a schematic of it. I'm planing to post the complete world, but not now, when I finish the city I'm building. I'm creating it in survival mode, so it will take me still several weeks to finish the work. It bores to me to build in creative mode

Are you still working on this mod? The King Arthur's Land server makes good use of it.

[Mito551]

i shall point out that dwarves Kingdom has it as well.

I was no aware that it has been used, are you using the textures I provided or you replaced them for more hight resolution ones? If there are new features that you will like to be added I can also consider them. Also if it is any bug or thing to improve I can take a look.
