I found a nice system of rivers, which almost looks like a marsh:

Very nice mapgen. I think you should increase flat areas for building.

That's good to hear! The trees in forrests are conveniently shaped and sized. If mg_villages finds your forest mod installed, it does make use of its tree and wood types:

Those high hills in the valleys mod are more tricky for the villages. They can only spawn up to a certain height and do not handle the mapblock above. Maybe I ought to avoid spawning in such situations as it doesn't look good. The valleys are much more convenient places.
You have done very well in supporting Gael de Sailly's mods, Sokomine. I am glad to see that he is finally getting the support that he deserves.

Hate to be a dummy but how do I use this?
Does it need to be installed to some place other than mods? It doesn't show up as a mapgen I can use when creating a new world. Everything I've heard sounds amazing and I'd like to try it out but I can't figure out how to.

I believe you need to make a v7 mapgen map. Then it should work.
Many of my mods are now a part of Minetest-mods. A place where you know they are maintained!

Absolutely correct you are Don.

The screenshots don't even begin to do justice to this mod, I just followed a river upstream for quite some time, very impressive. This is going to be my new go to mapgen.

The name of the topic was wrong. It's simply a mod.
The mapgen used in your world don't matter : it's overridden by the mod.

Based on the screenies ( haven't testing out my self ) this mapgen I personally think is the equivalent to a real geological world. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe this wonderful mapgen. Great work Gael. Can't wait to see what is next.

~~~~~ ANNOUNCEMENT ~~~~~

I need contributors, because after the end of the holidays (August 31st), I will be too busy with studies to continue my project alone. If you're interested in working on this mod, don't hesitate to say it on the topic or by private messages. I'll update the ToDo list and add more code comments.

Everyone is welcome :)

I've added many comments in the code, but I'm not sure that they are understandable.

They are, which by itself makes your code better than most I've seen. I'm always impressed by anyone who can use more than one language.

Textures

by duane » Post

I made some high-resolution textures for vmg, since I'm used to using hdx textures. They're not up to Vanessa's standards, but I like them.

I'm adding more plants to the landscape, as well as water and mushrooms in caves (optional), in a fork. You can use the giant mushrooms as both food and wood.

The download is: https://github.com/Gael-de-Sailly/valle ... estuff.zip

This is a screenshot of a really overgrown cave I located. Quite a few caves have enormous waterfalls in them.

Obviously the underworld isn't the major draw for vmg, but I hate boring caves.
