Suggestion for, somewhat, new shapes: quarter, half, and three-quarter versions to compliment Calinou's moreblocks and stairsplus mods.

I built a diagonal bridge using the noncubic mod to make the edges of the bridge straight instead of jagged. However, I would have liked to use a quarter slab for the bridge instead of using a full-sized block but the noncubic shapes are currently suited for full-sized blocks.

Thanks for a great mod!

Hi i've hit a problem when trying to remove the milling machine. once placed it cannot be removed no matter what i use, ive looked in debug.txt and found the following error message
node_dig
not diggable
I'm on Minetest 0.4.4-d1 ubuntu 12.10 Daily build

Did you check if you emptied the milling machine?

*facepalm*

Sorry, my mistake, there was a block of clear glass in the machine that i didn't see.

Another suggestion: different posistions of shapes.... sideways and upside down.

I recently tried to mak a rounded edge along the bottom but the current rounded edges and corners only work for the top. Perhaps looking at Calinou's moreblocks (now with stairs+ merged into it) code will help with the different orientation of shapes.

Thanks for a great mod!

could you give me the code for the corner slope by it's self, in only one material?

Hi yves_de_beck

I took the liberty to "adjust" your code a little (quite a lot) ...
I did the following:
Allow other mods to register themselves for milling purposes.
Example my personal version of white bricks from the industrial mod:

Code: Select all

noncubic.register_slope_edge_etc("kpomod:white_brick",
                {cracky=3},
                {"kpomod_white_brick.png"},
                "White Brick Slope",
        "White Brick Slope Lying",
        "White Brick Slope Upside Down",
                "White Brick Slope Edge",
                "White Brick Slope Inner Edge",
        "White Brick Slope Upside Down Edge",
        "White Brick Slope Upside Down Inner Edge",
        "White Brick Pyramid",
        "White Brick Spike",
        "White Brick One Curved Edge Block",
        "White Brick Two Curved Edge Block",
        "White Brick Cylinder",
        "White Brick Cylinder Horizontal",
        "White Brick Sphere",
        "White Brick Element Straight",
        "White Brick Element Edge",
        "White Brick Element T",
        "White Brick Element Cross",
        "White Brick Element End")

noncubic.register_stick_etc("kpomod:white_brick",
                {cracky=3},
                {"kpomod_white_brick.png"},
                "White Brick Stick")

noncubic.register_elements("kpomod:white_brick",
                {cracky=3},
                {"kpomod_white_brick.png"},
                "White Brick Straight Double",
                "White Brick Edge Double",
        "White Brick T Double",
        "White Brick Cross Double",
        "White Brick End Double")
Also I optimised a lot of code away and made use of better functions in the milling process.
I removed all the recipes for manual creation as it goes against the purpose of the machine.
The recipes turning blocks I kept.

The code is here. Just replace the existing files in the mod with these and start registering your own materials:

init.lua:

I'm continuing the development of this mod. The git is at https://github.com/bas080/noncubic.

I have already made several changes.:
- Less lines of code/definitions and renamed functions and restructured code.
- Has API capability. Other mods can make their own noncubic nodes
- Inner slope now also obeys the detail_level
- Added new materials including steel, tree and junglewood.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to implement 6 face direction nodeboxes? N E S W and Up and Down.

EDIT:
I know mesecons piston has this... Will check that out.

I tried the link but it is broken.

It would be nice if this mod could adapt it's shapes to any block type.

The technic mod now has a CNC machine implementing the functions of this mod.
It has an API where you supply the node to allow being shaped and the new shapes will be added in the same name space of the node.
For instance default:wood would get nodes like default:wood_technic_cnc_slope.
You need the "indev" branch on github until further.

sorry i didn't reply sooner. It's in my simple modpack too together with stairsplus.

I think the problem with the link is that there is a "." at the end.
https://github.com/bas080/noncubic This works.

Is there a newer version

This version give me an error in init.lua, with minetest 0.4.9

The machine makes blocks when nothing is in the input square. Every time I exit the milling menu and go back in there's another block waiting for me.

See the 1st post of this thread. Put the material in the 'in' part. Try out with cobble or normal wood. Then choose a shape in the upper part and a size in the lower part. The result you can take from the 'out' part. Just try it out a bit.

- Iirc it doesn't accept all blocks you put in it, just some basic (wood, cobble, stone, brick, sandstone, dirt, leaves, tree and steelblock), though you can off course add more by copy/pasting the code and filling in the blocks you prefer.

Hello, I'm curious about this cuboids because the home decor modpack has nodes with toilet shape, or bottle shape, etc., so, does that mod use other api that is not cuboid dependant? Maybe the question is idiotic, but I want to understand the difference....

Minetestcr the question isn't dumb at all, for making nodes there are two basic options. Use the nodebox editor(NBE) or create a mesh with a 3d program and export them in a format that minetest handles. The models in the home decor modpack are meshes created in Blender and exported as obj, meshes allow for rounded smooth shapes. Cuboids are made with the NBE, most of the time, you could create cubic meshes with Blender if you wanted

Thanks "Nathan.S", that makes it clear for me. So, is there a big difference in performance? Wich one is lighter or heavier for the game?

I personally have never noticed any difference. From what I recall all the nodebox stuff is turned into meshes by the engine when the game starts, so the only difference there should be in performance should be based on the level of detail. Nodebox things tend to be simpler, they have fewer faces and less data to them. A mesh on the other hand could have millions of faces, now there probably wouldn't me much reason to have something with that many faces in Minetest, but theoretically it would be possible with a powerful enough computer. I've been using meshes since they were available, and haven't ever noticed any lag in places where I have a lot of them. The mylandscaping mod uses meshnodes for all the wall parts and machines, and I've seen that on a server with giant walls and noticed no lag.

Wrong, a nodebox model have the same amount of vertices per face than a native mesh model. But a nodebox model also have a lot of hidden faces since a nodebox is necessarily 6 faces. In a native mesh model you can optimize the amount of faces and their associated vertices for modelizing.

This is why we have been optimizing the default stairs to a mesh model for 0.4.13.

Correct JP, I didn't clarify well enough, due to the nature of Nodeboxes they tend to be simpler than meshes, but if one were to create the same model in both formats the mesh would be smaller and more efficient.

Nodeboxes are 6 faces, not 4 though? And aren't each of those faces made of two triangles? So each nodebox becomes a mesh of 12 polys?
Please correct me if wrong I am still learning about these things too :) Personally from what I've seen I'm not a fan of building models with nodeboxes; they seem horribly convoluted and leave lots of 'excess matter' in the model...
