Re: [Mod] New Fun Caves (No Surface) [fun_caves]
But it's not the same in the defaulf game. Here you have areas with absolutely no ores and then there is a hard cut and you find everything, even Mese and diamonds at +90 and above (see attached screenshot). And it is still easy if you have a little luck. I played an hour and I have a full stack of coal blocks and nearly a full stack of diamondsduane wrote:The ore is based on the altitudes in the default game. Wherever there's a sharp increase based on altitude normally, there will be a similar increase horizontally here. I like making the ore harder to find. It was too easy before.
Maybe my hardware is not the best, but it was never so hard like yesterdayduane wrote:There is a lot of lag. Unfortunately, most of it is being caused by the liquid/lighting updates. To be fair, the game wasn't designed for caves in the sky. I haven't had any problem killing anything yet, as long as I'm walking.
Found one. Rareduane wrote:The lava is in the hot biomes (where you see hot cobble and coal).
Much better performance. And it also looks much better and there is a need for torches again. Maybe you can add a ramdom brightness to the mushrooms?duane wrote:The uniform glow is a bit dull. Maybe I'll make the individual lights brighter and turn off the rest. That would probably help with the lighting lag.
Edit: Yep. That helps a lot. At least until you get into areas with lava and hot cobble. Then it's lag city again.
Do you have more ideas or do you need inspiration?

Biomes are calculated only in two dimensions, right? I noticed, that there is always the same biome with lichen and the same green moss spot on the same position if I go straight down. Even the shape of the spot is nearly equal. It's like a building with lots of floors with the same carpet. And if you look up you see the same at the ceiling
If you know that there is no need to go down or up to find another biome. Just walk horizontal. Maybe you can use a 3d noise for biomes so that there can other biomes above and below?

Re: [Mod] New Fun Caves (No Surface) [fun_caves]
I guess I found the reason for the shadows and other issues with the v6 lua cavegen. I replaced "air" with "default:cobble" for large caves and "default:wood" for normal caves.
Normal caves "grow" sometimes into forests
Huge caves are floating in the air. Inside the huge caves are small caves
And they are eveywhere
An interesting fact is, that the large caves always spawn at specific heights

Ok, but why would that cause shadows when you're only placing air?burli wrote:I guess I found the reason for the shadows and other issues with the v6 lua cavegen. I replaced "air" with "default:cobble" for large caves and "default:wood" for normal caves.

The salt blocks are dim light sources in caverealms, which makes them look pretty, but it spoils the surprise when you're moving toward another lighted area in the distance and you hit a (nearly) invisible wall. In some places, it's a bit like a mirror maze.azekill_DIABLO wrote:a crystal cave?!?cool!

Re: [Mod] New Fun Caves (No Surface) [fun_caves]
I don't know why, but I noticed something similar with the original intersecting mod. There is just a hard limit at 48. Sometimes I found a shadow right next to a hole. If you fly above the shadow you see, that the wield hand gets darker and normal again around 48.duane wrote:Ok, but why would that cause shadows when you're only placing air?burli wrote:I guess I found the reason for the shadows and other issues with the v6 lua cavegen.

I also think that there must be normal caves in the air. I can see them in the water, they are inside the large caves and they "grow" along other nodes like trees. But for whatever reason air is not replaced by the small caves. It is really strange.
Another thing I noticed is, that h1 is always 1. Are you sure that vector.add can add 4 values?
Code: Select all
vector.add(v, x)`: returns a vector
Re: [Mod] New Fun Caves (No Surface) [fun_caves]
Ok, this looks better. No flying large caves, but still shadows, caves still eat up plants and caves under water
This one is a special one. It does not collapse
Is it possible that lua mapgens are executed AFTER the decoration? This would explain the destroyed plants
Code: Select all
local p1 = vector.add(orpi, vector.add(veci, vector.add(this.of, this.rs / 2)))
local p2 = vector.add(orpi, vector.add(this.of, this.rs / 2)

It won't unless you update liquids (which causes lag, sadly).burli wrote:This one is a special one. It does not collapse

Your wield hand darkens when you fly into an ungenerated chunk. It brightens once the chunk generates (even if it's nothing but air).burli wrote:If you fly above the shadow you see, that the wield hand gets darker and normal again around 48.
That probably has to do with the fact that large caves are not generated by noise, so the game has no way to tell that a stone roof won't be generated over one at a chunk border. With the smaller, noise-generated caves, there's an easy way to see where they extend into the next chunk.I also think that there must be normal caves in the air. I can see them in the water, they are inside the large caves and they "grow" along other nodes like trees. But for whatever reason air is not replaced by the small caves. It is really strange.
I am not. It does in most languages, but lua is special.Another thing I noticed is, that h1 is always 1. Are you sure that vector.add can add 4 values?

Re: [Mod] New Fun Caves (No Surface) [fun_caves]
I started to miss the surface world, so I added it back in. It should work with any mapgen that produces a heightmap.

Wasting time, watching a bunch of goblins dig a new quarry. It's kind of like having an ant farm.

I have a texture bug. Mob Textures are not loaded with your latest version
Re: [Mod] Fun Caves [fun_caves]
I noticed that your top dirt block is a full grass block. Do you use a mod for this? I asked for this feature a few weeks ago, but did not find a satisfying solution

Which ones? It shouldn't matter much, since the affected mobs will die out and be replaced.burli wrote:I have a texture bug. Mob Textures are not loaded with your latest version

Re: [Mod] Fun Caves [fun_caves]
There are a number of texture packs (e.g. PixelBox) that have side grass. I use my own compilation, but I've borrowed from so many sources, that I can't post it for fear of leaving the credits out.burli wrote:I noticed that your top dirt block is a full grass block.

Re: [Mod] Fun Caves [fun_caves]
I was attacked by naked spiders. I add mobs mod, but not mobs_monsters. I expected, that you just need the api, but you removed some textures. So I had to add mobs_monsters to get the texturesduane wrote:Which ones? It shouldn't matter much, since the affected mobs will die out and be replaced.burli wrote:I have a texture bug.

Or are you using an older mobs mod befor it was splitted?

Re: [Mod] Fun Caves [fun_caves]
I added some plants and coral, using some of my textures from valleys_c, to liven up the surface. This time I'm not using any water abms.

See viewtopic.php?p=218419#p218419
I think your heightmap checks may be failing, large caves should not be generated high in the air. The dark air of overgenerated large caves can cause lighiting bugs.
