please dont mix up the code!philipbenr wrote: [flattered] thanks! [/flattered]
I intend to add some of this mod and cottages onto the castle+ mod with me and Dan Duncombe.
i dont like it if some mods have the same texture and function but diffrent names.
it might confuse the user.
its alredy discussed here: viewtopic.php?id=7163
maybe you can do somethings like this:
Code: Select all
if minetest.get_modpath('darkage') then
minetest.register_alias(castle:strawbale,darkage:strawbale)
//register some alias and use this to avoid unknown blocks
else
minetest.register_node(castle:strawbale,...)...
//register the node itself
end
or may we could make a (eg. medieval_basic) mod wich contains some basic nodes wich all other mods (castles, cottages and darkage) depends on them.

It's still a great mod for building. Wish it would be on more servers. The King Arthur's Land server makes extensive use of the mod and is always woth a visit for all those who like good buildings.
A list of my mods can be found here.
The Minerealms server uses this mod too.

I have been away for a lot of time because OpenGL stopped to work in my computer, a few days ago I solved it (yeah, I took me forever ) So I opened my old Minetest and updated to the latest version discovering tons of new changes and features in the game. I will review Dark Age to fit better the new situation of the game.

I see addi already did that well I will take a look to his work before start to do anything newMasterGollum wrote:I have been away for a lot of time because OpenGL stopped to work in my computer, a few days ago I solved it (yeah, I took me forever ) So I opened my old Minetest and updated to the latest version discovering tons of new changes and features in the game.

Welcome back, MasterGollum. I saw Cornernote in the forums recently as well. Now, if only redcrab came back...

hey! nice to see you back
as far i know i have not changed much things,because i had not much time in the last year.
but the
desert_stone_cobble and
sandstone cobble is now in default game.
also i changed 1 or 2 craft rezieps, because they confliced with other mods
also there is now a "LuaVoxelManipulator" in the engine wich may generates a bit faster than your way.
also there is a function minetest.register_ore() that can be used to generate the iron ore in the desert.

Good to see you back, MasterGollum!
That function might lead to a significant speedup regarding ore generation. Not only for the iron ore but also for the non-ores (stratus, claylike). To my knowledge, the function offers parameters that might cover those situations. Please explore that :-) LuaVoxelManipulator is also great but may not be necessary here. The new ore generation routines ought to be good enough.addi wrote: also there is a function minetest.register_ore() that can be used to generate the iron ore in the desert

New furniture is always good to have :-) Take a look at my cottages mod. It already comes with some furniture, but there's certainly room for more :-) The anvil from realtest might look fine in a medieval environment as well.MasterGollum wrote: maybe I will include some new nodes for middle age themed furniture.

wow that's very nice what you did there. You read my mind and implemented it before I even thought about that lol. As Inocudom pointed we have the straw bale duplicated, I like the suggestion of merge them. Maybe as an extension of Dark Age with some textures more "medieval" (for example the bed), that can be turned off easily so people can choose if to use cottage mod as you designed it (with or without Dark Age) or the medieval version of cottage just inside the Dark Age mod itself. What do you think?Sokomine wrote: New furniture is always good to have :-) Take a look at my cottages mod.

Hmpf. Typed a long message, included some links, and accidently clicked on a link.
The straw (and the straw bale) is indeed a copy of your darkage mod. I sent you a mail back then and asked you for permission :-) You just got to *have* a straw bale in a Minetest world - else it would be incomplete :-)
I didn't eliminiate/alias the straw nodes before (even though it was requested by some server owners) because that would at that time have interfered with my random_buildings and later my villages mod - those spawn houses that use nodes from cottages, and if the nodes are just aliasses to another mod, that gets more complicated.
If you have any better textures for the nodes or can create them or even add more furniture please do so! We can certainly have more than one bed. And the King Arthurs Land server will certainly enjoy more medieval nodes. I'm very bad at creating textures and have to rely on other people creating them for me. I'm curious as to how your nodes will look like :-)

Indeed I don't have any problem that you used the texture I created or you decided to supply new node versions for the straw bales, I like a lot what you did. I understand that Dark Age is a "huge" mod that supplies several nodes and functionalities that many people don't want. cottages is consistent as it is, it supplies all the nodes it needs without add dependences to other mods. Can they be used together as they are now? Yes, of course. Should be used together? not so sure, they will create duplicate nodes with craft recipes not consistent between them, for example the way you decided to craft the stairs. I absolutly will use your mod in my server, but I will do some changes to fit my personal tastes. I can share that version with the community or keep it private if you dislike the idea of see your nodes shared in a new different version. I absolutly don't intent to take ownership of your work, just to add them slightly modified and explain what I did and from where that nodes come from.

Craft receipes only exist so that the nodes can actually be crafted. Cottages was created in order to have nodes for building small, medieval/simple structured houses for the lumberjacks and village inhabitants (once they show up..). If you have better ideas for crafting receipes, that ought to be no problem. I'd love to let "inhabitants" "sell"/trade the furniture nodes to players anyway :-)
Please do what you have in mind and then let's see how to best combine or otherwise handle it.

Rather than having people modify the code, you should add minetest.conf settings.
For example:
And then you can just set darkage.enable_mapgen in minetest.conf.
You should also cache the modpath, just call minetest.get_modpath("darkage") once and store it in a local variable named modpath.
Also: I beleive that you are required to have a link to the actual GitHub page, not just to the archive if you use GitHub. And if not I would appreciate if you added one. :-)
Aditionally you use legacy generation methods that are very slow. You should use minetest.register_ore and the LuaVoxelManip if there are any ore types that it doesn't provide.
For example:
Code: Select all
if minetest.setting_getbool("darkage.enable_mapgen") then
dofile(modpath.."/mapgen.lua")
end

Thank you for the tips, btw what is the LuaVoxelManip!? Because the documentation I found it's let's say scarce http://koti.kapsi.fi/~nawulf/code/minetest/2013-09-12_doxygen/classLuaVoxelManip.htmlShadowNinja wrote:Aditionally you use legacy generation methods that are very slow.

New method for manipulating nodes, introduced by hmmmm(mmmm?) in 0.4.7. Reduces node manip and loading time from 20+ seconds to 1-5 seconds. Also, makes calling nodes easier.MasterGollum wrote:Thank you for the tips, btw what is the LuaVoxelManip!?
