[abandoned Mod] Squaresville (Cities) [squaresville]

[duane]

I've added a bit of furnishing to the houses. You'll need the Home Decor mod pack to see them.

Nice! :p Kitchens are nice, but they need more furnishment (tables with candlesticks and set of dishes. I would like to see bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms and other rooms are full by Homedecor`s furniture! Also, can you add streets from Roads mod and Vehicles mod?

I'm not changing the basic stuff. I want that to show up with no other mods enabled. I can add nick-nacks from other mods, but it has to be for non-critical pieces.

why not ladders (yark yark yark...)

[duane]

Added warning beacons and greatly improved Fun Caves' cave openings in Squaresville, so that ragged pieces of trees are hardly ever left. The mapgen now uses the default tree schematics, which makes a difference in appearance, but mainly makes the code easier to maintain. All houses are now worldedit files.

Hm...What are words?

[azekill_DIABLO]

*devil laugh*

[duane]

I've raised the base level to accommodate the default biomes. This will break existing worlds (or at least make them look weird).

[duane]

I've added mts files for the new trees. Nearly every schematic loads using the game's place_schematic functions. It's slightly faster, but you won't notice.

Stopping by the side of the road to pick a pear...

[azekill_DIABLO]

makes me hungry!

[duane]

I've ported the game's decoration code, so that all default decorations are placed in pretty much the same places the game would place them on a C mapgen. This is a bit faster, but again, not very noticeable. Plants of a type tend to grow in the same regions, and trees are spaced more like a typical game. Any decorations and biomes added before squaresville runs will be used.

[duane]

I've greatly overhauled the mapgen code, increasing the speed a bit, but mostly making it cleaner. The only really visible change is that jungles are now much more colorful.

[azekill_DIABLO]

funny little plants.

[mr_dean]

Does anyone know if there is a place where u can share the schematics you make for your cities?

[azekill_DIABLO]

why not here? :)

[mr_dean]

That works

[duane]

I've made some changes to the terrain generation. Now I just need to clean up the code.

[azekill_DIABLO]

the right and meft ârt of the mountain looks really realistic. The middle, well... no. But it's awesome!

Yeah, it didn't work so well, so I took it back out. The terrain still needs something though. Maybe just a smaller noise to roughen the mountains up.

I'm also making a C version, if anyone wants to look at it. For some reason this area's a desert in C.

[azekill_DIABLO]

cool! the C one should be faster!

[duane]

cool! the C one should be faster!

It's definitely faster.

Some days ago I notice that is Squaresville was abandoned... And it make me extremely sad, because I put so many time for create something interesting into this mod.

In fist steps of development I decide make big prefab pack for this mod. I have 20 builds right now, and cities looks awesome. But this mod don't work on Minetest 5.0.0... Only 4.1.7...

Look like I just lose my time.
And I have one question: Did I must continue developming?

[duane]

But this mod don't work on Minetest 5.0.0... Only 4.1.7...

You could try this patch. It fixes the only problems I have with the squaresville code I have (which was the last stable version from github) and the stable 5.0.1 version of minetest. However, if you're going to keep using squaresville, you should probably consider either freezing your minetest at the current version or learning how to maintain the mod yourself. If you've added a lot of buildings, you might even consider sharing those with the community. Maybe it would draw more interest. As it is, I doubt many people are still using this.

Oh, well... Look like my guess was right, I tries play in squaressville C but I cath some problem on my powerfull PC. Right now I have much weak PC and I not sure if I can use new version of this mod... I can't even download Squaressville C for test...

Anyway, I think I may make WIP release and open new topic. But I scare you are right about popularity of this idea.

And thank you for attention!

I never downloaded this mod before because I wasn't aware it even existed (can't find WIP mods listed under another user's mods). I would love to see it revived and working on MT 5.0.1+ and now that ore only generates at much deeper depths, the underground structures would be desired by the comunity (or am I mistaking this mod for another one?)
Unless this mod is too resource-intensive... I mean, how much RAM do I need for Squaresville?
