The following shots expose an area approximately 3.5 km long by about 1 km wide. They are from two seperate time periods, with some mod editing done in between, which accounts for the different flora layouts. This is from my own favorite seed, (shown in screenie), with some edits to the default v7 parameters. Namely, terrain_base, terrain_alt, and height_select. Mountains, caverns, ridges, and floatlands are all disabled.

Now this I would really love to have the settings for. (I would leave ridges enabled though)
This gives even closer results to what I was working toward some time back, before I got distracted by other things)

Ask, and you shall receive. This is the complete map_meta.txt file. The seed from above images is included.

Other notes about the seed. There is a mountain, 700+ meters high, at -4800, 700, -4100 or there abouts. There is also a volcano in the making at 3200, 300, 3200, or there abouts.

As for ridges, IMHO, they are too unnatural looking. I am considering disecting the valleys_c mapgen, removing extraneous code, leaving only the river noises and the clay/sand/silt noises. This should, IMHO, create for more realistic rivers.

Looking west from .5km east of Origin. Origin is on the small hill in the center of this area, just above and to the right of the fortress.

Eastern Shore. This is roughly 2km east of Origin, and this stretch is about 2km x .5km.
Image

Looking north along the shore. The volcano is 2.5km distant, at x3000, z3000. The crater is about 300m high, with the peak about 30-40m higher.
Image

And looking across from Origin. The volcano from here is over 4km in the distance.

This is a repost from March 13, 2019, due to the forum rollback.

The Avatars mod is finally nearing completion! Now patrol points and flee points can be viewed and edited interactively using markers, which are essentially entities with nametags.The benefit of this approach is that patrol points and fleepoints are saved within the mapblock and loaded/unloaded dynamically by the engine. It is also possible to link patrol points into a series so as to form a continuous route.

From the coding side, there is also great deal of versatility afforded. For example, the get_random_trolpoint() or get_direct_trolpoint() functions accept a variety of parameters such as maximum distance, maximum altitude, and maximum rotation delta so that patrol points can be sampled and sorted to find the optimal destination based on the AI's current location and direction. Patrolling itself is engaged via the the set_travel_destination() function, which invokes the custom pathfinder. The AI will follow the calculated route, avoiding obstacles -- even opening doors and climbing ladders automatically as depicted in the animated GIF below!

Image

Image

Here the AI is travelling between designated TrolPoints (the makers are hidden by default, but can be shown with the /mark command). The red and white dots are just pathfinder debugging visuals, of course.

I've pretty much finished my pull request for a new FormSpec coordinate system. The pull request can be found at https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/8524.

Shows all elements affected, with the exception of background for clarity.
Image

An example showing the simplicity of using the new coordinating system to make a complex FormSpec.

These are just examples; the second screenshot is not a browser in Minetest. It's just a mockup!

Good work v-rob. Let’s hope best (formspec replacement) is not made the enemy of good (formspec improvement).

Fantastic (you can experiment with other tps, I suppose some would add a lot of expression to this apparently very solid and realistic architecture).

I've realized that jamming several screenshots in one post, when the aesthetic values are at stake, is not good. So from now on, shots taken in MT 5 and posted here to showcase the merits of MT's graphics (and of course those of different texture packs) will appear one by one, rarely and in higher resolutions.
