[Mod] MapGenerator - regular maps by Lua [lualandmg]

[Zombie471]

I really like it, but it doesn't work with this Nether Mod: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5790&hilit=nether ... ugh the default minetest mapgen is terrible... I can't decide to use that or this. Any chance of merge? I'd love to use both o3o

Thanks but I'm not sure how I can add a good way to add ores with the function

Code: Select all

minetest.register_ore(table)

This is currently the weak point of this mapgen. I'll post it here if there's any success with my next tries.

From newest Git:

After some small updates - A new feature showcase is required:
Modify the "details" setting to get a coarse terrain.

After some noise changes and new grass generation, it got a new look:

I saw your yappy multiplayer map in IRC. Keeping trees away from chunk borders is unnecessary because your trees should not be cutoff along chunk borders, the voxelmanip volume actually extends one 16 nodes beyond the chunk edges. Trees only get cutoff if you are placing "air" during mapgen, this is unnecessary since in singlenode the chunk comes already filled with "air".
The latest screenshots look good.

Oh thanks for this note. But there was a time when the trees were cut-off along the mapblocks.
I had to use those codes to prevent from getting those ugly parts.

I think the next step is to copy the normal/jungle tree generation code and add compability with the current MTG this way.

EDIT:

Are you sure about what you said?

[paramat]

Yes i'm sure. Are you placing "air" in your mapgen? if not, do your trees check for "air" and "ignore" before placing? Outside the current mapchunk the tree nodes will be placed in "ignore" instead of "air". Also, if your trees exceed 16 nodes in height they will get chopped. That's all i can think of so far.

EDIT
All lines like this:

Code: Select all

if data[vil] == c_air then
    data[vil] = c_oak_tree
end

Should be:

Code: Select all

if data[vil] == c_air or data[vil] == c_ignore then
    data[vil] = c_oak_tree
end

Oh, that was the problem. I did not expect any ignore nodes inside the loaded area.

I got problems with the riesenpilz mapgen. Somehow for a reason I don't know the big mushrooms generating doesn't work correctly:

This is now my favourite mapgen :D

After three years I'm picking up this mod again to adjust it for the new API functions. This mod is now called "LuaLandMG", which is a slightly better name, which also marks an entire backwards compatibility break.

• minetest.generate_ores()
  ...generates the ores now, instead of the custom function
• minetest.get_mapgen_object() heightmap and heatmap
  This mapgen provides both tables as long the current chunk is being generated
• Pine tree nodes from MTG are used now
• New dry grass biome and dry grass decorations (requires MTG)

Hopefully soon: Biomes and decorations directly from the by-API registered definition tables.
The average time spent for a chunk (usually (5*16)^3) on the surface is about 300 ms using LuaJIT.
