Simple underground railway corridors with a few treasure chests.








This mod is currently in beta stage but works pretty OK so far. I may very rarely generate odd-looking structures.

The main difference from the original mod is that this mod utilizes Treasurer to spawn the treasures in the chests, so there can be more variety in the treasures you can find. Using Treasurer is optional, if you don’t use this mod, this mod falls back to a couple of default treasures.
This mod also allows finetuning of the railway corridors with the advanced settings menu.

This mod is a fork of Joz’ Minecraft-like railway corridors railcorridors mod [railcorridors].

• Download: Version 0.14.4 (for Minetest 5.0.0 and later)
• Dependencies: default, tnt, farming (from Minetest Game 5.0.0 or later)
• Optional dependencies:
  • Treasurer (if not installed, mod will add some default items)
  • mobs_monster (for cobwebs)

Very interresting idea !

i will try in a local world, im afraid for my online world if i try it on :p

i can't see any railway corridors on a new generated map?
what did i do wrong?

Well, it works for me. The railway corridors appear underground. If you can't find any, try to test this: use noclip and fly mode to explore the underground more quickly. If you still cannot find any mines after 5 minutes of searching, then you probably have a problem.

I can't help you; you should provide more information for me. Which version of Minetest did you use? Which mods did you have enabled? Are there any error messages? Which mapgen did you use? Where did you search? How long did you search?

It would be more fun with traps :)

It should depend on tnt since it falls back to the default behavior, where tnt:tnt is in the chest. Usually, this isn't a problem, but since it uses nodes from there it should contain it in depends.txt.

Whoops, you are right. [farming] was also a dependency.
Both mods are now in depends.txt.

Maybe I make those dependencies optional or whatever. But for now I just made the lazy fix. :P

I guess this should not happen. But I think this is a problem of the cavegen, not from railcorridors, right?

I really like this mod, I like how it adds a sort of life to the underground, even without mobs.

However, it also feels dead, or stagnant, like the air is stale from being sealed up for so long, and much of the stone has turned to gravel over time, making repairing these long broken down corridors more dangerous than it would seem at first.

It makes it seem as though, there have been people before you, though, a long time ago, and have since disappeared for some unknown reason.

The effect is best seen with tone mapping on:

If sofars Torches mod is installed the wall mounted torches are horizontal

https://github.com/minetest-mods/torches

If the torches mod is installed default:torch_wall must be used

replace occurances of "default:torch" with "default:torch_wall" in the init.lua file

New version (0.8.0) released!
Updates:

- Allow for finetuning in advanced settings menu (have fun!)
- Update metadata: Screenshot, description, mod.conf
- Fix chest formspec not using the default style
- Fix mod crashing when Treasurer is not used
- Refactor

Note this mod is still VERY much alpha and experimental. But you can always try the Git version for the very lastest stuff.

Version 0.9.0 released!

Changes:
- Fix crash when mod ran without Treasurer
- Fix weird wall torches when using the torches mod (thanks to burli)
- More careful map generation: Non-ground content (cobblestone, brick blocks, other artificial blocks) are not destroyed anymore
- Add wooden platform below rails when they are generated over air
- Rarely use different wood types
- Make rails actually connect in curves and some crossings

Wow!As interestingly!

Could you add more life to corridors like vagons, coal lumps around, more chest with traps etc. ?

Perhaps there can be things like chests that act like bat spawners? And unstable wood that wood falls when you walk on it? Also, Great Mod!

- Add wooden platform below rails when they are generated over air

where can i find it?

Can somebody post a picture?!!

This mod was working pretty well for me till the last week of commits to Minetest engine. It's only client side though(windows x64 mingw), client will freeze server however will continue without error. Don't have debugger, error logs freeze without error and windows eventvwr logs application hang only.

My builds are cygwin crosscompiled with mingw64 gcc 5.4.0 luajit, leveldb,redis,spatial. As test tried singleplayer that freezes too.
Also freezes sfan5's builds minetest-0.4.15-7279f0b3-win64 lockups but minetest-0.4.15-7387b190-win64 is OK

I do not like to support bleeding edge versions of Minetest. Supporting the latest stable is hard enough.

I'd like to install this on a server, but since I can't find a height setting it interferes with nether realms and such stuff. Would it be possible to look into it. A min_height and and max_height as global setting variables would be ideal.

Good idea. I will probably add it later, when I work on the mapgen stuff for MineClone 2. This mod seems to be the perfect addition to MineClone 2.

Indeed!

I tried the mod today, great Idea!
There is a "cosmetic" bug if high is changed in curve the rails are in the air sometimes.


The other issue with other cave generators like geomoria or underworld was already mentioned above.

Version 0.10.0 released!


I am working on this mod to eventually include it into MineClone 2.
I fixed some of the worst weirdness in this mod.

Updates:

• Requires Minetest Game 0.4.15
• Add height limits in which railway corridors can appear. Default: Y=-30 or below.
• Prevent railway corridors starting in mid-air
• The dirt room has a center rail piece
• Tweak the end of railway corridors
• Add rails to the slopes
• Get rid of the majority of floating rails (a few of them remain)
• Make it a bit easier to include this mod in subgames (see readme)
• Fix broken torches in Minetest Game 0.4.15

Remaining bugs:

• Sometimes the corridors have a wooden floor even when no bridge is required
• Missing curve rails on bridges
• A few floating rails remain
• Corridors never penetrate X=0 or Z=0 for some reason
