An another note, your segmented horizontal layer, combined with kilarins' vertical layers would allow to create some amazing spaces.

Realms already does horizontal mapping better than my work. I'm not sure why you'd need to partition a map much -- distance does that already.

It looks like clouds. I wonder if there's a possibility to make custom cloud nodes which are passable so that they don't make an obstacle when flying.

The image is dark because the sun had just set and despite having 24 hour in-game day the journey took long enough to drag into the night.

My lib_clouds mod provided a couple of "cloud" nodes. It does not use the v5.0 cloud api. Instead, it places clouds by ore definition.

This mod may currently be broken, as I have not seen the clouds in v5.0 when running this mod. Still, it's worth looking into as a viable alternative to the engine provided cloud api.

Now to start working on textures which go with MTG


forgot about this, now I have to redesign the textures :P

[ShadMOrdre]

Tumeni,

No redesign, just placement magic. You can shift the texture to a part of the door where there is total coverage of the wood. Consider the code below, from my unreleased update to lib_doors mod. The combine tag on tiles 3 and 4 shift the base texture of a node halfway, so that when my center aligned doors open, the texture shifts to compensate for the fact that my centered doors are offset into the neighboring node.

Code: Select all

	if node_def.tiles then
		if node_def.tiles[1] then
			new_node_tiles[1] = node_def.tiles[1]
		else
			new_node_tiles[1] = node_def.tiles
		end
		if node_def.tiles[2] then
			new_node_tiles[2] = node_def.tiles[2]
		else
			new_node_tiles[2] = new_node_tiles[1]
		end
		if node_def.tiles[3] then
			temp_tile = node_def.tiles[3]
			new_node_tiles[3] = "[combine:16x16:-8,0=" .. node_def.tiles[3] .. ":8,0=" .. node_def.tiles[3] .. ""
		else
			temp_tile = new_node_tiles[2]
			new_node_tiles[3] = "[combine:16x16:-8,0=" .. new_node_tiles[2] .. ":8,0=" .. new_node_tiles[2] .. ""
		end
		if node_def.tiles[4] then
			new_node_tiles[4] = "[combine:16x16:8,0=" .. node_def.tiles[4] .. ":-8,0=" .. node_def.tiles[4] .. ""
		else
			new_node_tiles[4] = new_node_tiles[3]
		end
		if node_def.tiles[5] then
			new_node_tiles[5] = node_def.tiles[5]
		else
			new_node_tiles[5] = temp_tile
		end
		if node_def.tiles[6] then
			new_node_tiles[6] = node_def.tiles[6]
		else
			new_node_tiles[6] = temp_tile
		end


		if shape_def.shape_type == "tree" then
			new_node_tiles[1] = node_def.tiles[1]
			new_node_tiles[2] = node_def.tiles[2]
			new_node_tiles[3] = node_def.tiles[3]

Tumeni,

No redesign, just placement magic. You can shift the texture to a part of the door where there is total coverage of the wood. Consider the code below, from my unreleased update to lib_doors mod. The combine tag on tiles 3 and 4 shift the base texture of a node halfway, so that when my center aligned doors open, the texture shifts to compensate for the fact that my centered doors are offset into the neighboring node.

Ummm, https://github.com/TumeniNodes/c_doors

[ShadMOrdre]

Yes, I knew of your c_doors mod. I seem to recall sharing a code tip with you regarding the default doors code back before you released c_doors. My own lib_doors mod uses nodeboxes, and provides doors of various sizes and shapes, as well as, trapdoors and fence gates, made from a preselected list of available predefined nodes. I did this because I didn't like the rather noticeable lack of texture on the window frame in the door. Essentially, I can have a stone sliding door, which makes for great secret areas, as well as, a framed door in which the texture covers all surfaces of the object. IMHO, it looks more complete, and allows me to deviate from the MC way of doing things.

I only wanted to point out that the combine tag should help you in shifting the texture of the door image just enough pixels in either direction to cover the hole in the side of the door.

In the following image, all biomes, stone, ore, metal, glass, snow and ice nodes, as well as, all ecosystem definitions are accomplished via loading the data via a .csv file. The code size, of course, has shrunk, but because the data is loaded just in time, the node definitions only exist in the context of minetest.registered_nodes, meaning that the code loaded at runtime is smaller, leading to smaller RAM usage. This can be expanded greatly, to include many things, including code itself. I also use a JIT function to load the data, meaning it's code and data also only exist minimally in RAM. This should allow for loading JIT libraries of .lua code. I do not use the LuaJIT. It was something I picked up from code shared by Gael de Sailly. Just a random collection of thoughts for a popular thread.

This is very much the sort of landscape I am looking for, with maybe one or two normal looking mountains, with snow and ice beyond a certain altitude only, and a few big lakes with streams running down, into one wide river which runs down the center of the length of the entire map (a winding river), and some large flat areas to build in...

I prefer one seasonal biome per world.
i.e. green lush wooded areas and forests, some open plains, some meadows, perhaps a wetland area. But just looking at this image it looks close to an ideal landscape to me.

============================================
meanwhile at the door crafter's shop (the copper looks horrible but these are all just quick and basic textures to fit MTG) getting closer to being done. All the wood and metal types are registered and textured.
There is something drastically wrong with the model. No matter which method I used to create it, there are odd artifacts and no method I have search/tried is working to resolve it. I will be asking for someone with more experience with Blender to have a look soon.

[ShadMOrdre]

Tumeni,

I couldn't resist showing off the doors.

These are nodeboxes that mostly use the default doors code, with the exception that I do not use a hidden node for the top, instead using nodeboxes of the shown dimensions. I do not check for the existence of nodes in the positions occupied by the door, so it is easily hidden if nodes are placed. This is not perfect, just a hack I was content enough with using. Of course, this should be updated. These are available for all registered nodes, includes fence gates, hatches/trapdoors, doors, all of which are center aligned, as are yours. Shown are the doors closed and opened. All this to say, now I'm motivated to add the arch door, and perhaps a hobbit door, 2mx2m.

Just a suggestion, sorcerykid made an extra_doors mod that had some nice textures. I'm gonna grab your c_doors, because it is a lighter weight option for center aligned doors than my own node heavy lib_doors.
