[Mod] ships spawning at mapgen time [ships_on_mapgen]

[Sokomine]

This mod spawns ships on ocans and lakes.

The largest one is the big pirate ship built (so it is rumored) by AspireMint. If you find one, explore it! But take care of pirates! (In small print: Pirates not included!)


The second larger sailship has been built by me. To the right is a small raft.


In addition to the two capital ships, three types of rafts exist and may also show up on water. It is possible that rafts will lose the very tree trunks they mostly consist of; mapgen thinks they're trees. There is no good way to prevent that. Lucikly, most ships will survive intact and await explorers.

(second posting mostly for adding more images)

Right now, one ship (or raft) is placed in each mapchunk if possible:


Rafts are a lot smaller than ships and come in three variants:



You can of course add your own ships. Just edit init.lua and an appropriate entry in ships_on_mapgen.schematics. If you use an .mts file saved by handle_schematics, the mod can automaticly determine from the filename how deep the ship proceeds under water. Else set e.g. yoff=-2 if your ship continues 2 nodes below water. Example:

Code: Select all

{scm="name_of_file_in_schems_folder_without_extension", typ="ship", is_ship=true, yoff=-1, orients={0}}

Other ships you might want to spawn with this mod are:
boat from Chiantos (diffrent style of ship)
and small galeon by Dan Duncombe (fits well into this mod).
The license of these schematics was unclear. You can still grab them from the forum, save them in the schems/ folder and add an entry for them in the init.lua file.

Hello, Thank for this mod.

I think use this, because i have a problem actually for generate boats in mapgen.

Good day.

I think use this, because i have a problem actually for generate boats in mapgen.

Yes, I promised you this mod before (was working on it some time ago already). For your purpose, you'll have to edit init.lua so that it reads:

Code: Select all

ships_on_mapgen.schematics = {
        -- yoff: how deep is the ship burried in water?
      {scm="boat", typ="ship", is_ship=true, yoff=-1, orients={0}},
       }


and add your boat.mts file into the schems/ folder. If you change ships_on_magen.schematics as above, only your ship type will spawn (the others won't really fit into your game). I couldn't do that as the license you specified - "GPL" - is a bit too broad and does not really fit media data. It is fine for mods. Perhaps you can choose CC-BY-SA 3.0 as well? Or something similar.

Note: The Yellow Submarine would be far too large to spawn as a mapblock is only 80x80x80 blocks and thus no larger flat surface can be found with the method used here. The same applies for the U-Boot. Submarines are certainly possible. Just not that big.

The Big Galleon by Dan Duncombe might fit in. But it's really quite big and empty.

[Chiantos]

Hello,

I saw more mts like code, so I used Gpl. I corrected the license for that of the media, I'm not always sure in some cases, if a work is code or media. Not problem ;) . Good Day to you, i look for test your mod, Thank for help.

Edit : Problem ...

Good to finally see this done.

[Chiantos]

I have test with GnuRootdebian (Jessie Backport) on Android, this works. Boats Spawn, not problem.

I have test with Android Minetest. This not work. This is a problem of my Android 4.2 or Minetest Android ?

I have problem with others mods use mathematic function (plotme so), and not others ... I not understand.

Good day.

Edit for resolve problem, i have delete this in replacements_global.lua to handle-schematics mod

Code: Select all

   if( not(new_materials['roof']) or not( minetest.registered_nodes[ new_materials['roof'] ])) then
      new_materials['roof'] =  replacements_group['roof'].found[
         math.random( 1, #replacements_group['roof'].found )];
   end

Not problem Actually for generate boat on Android, what is Roof ?

Edit 2 : Add un blockcolor 1.43.5, Thank you for this mod.

Looks Great Sokomine you could also add shipwrecks that would be cool.

[Sokomine]

Shipwrecks where planned from the beginning. AspireMint has built three nice models. Unfortionately they where a bit big and so place for them on the ground of the ocean was seldmon found. Shipwrecks now "sink" until they hit solid ground. They may often be found embedded in the ocean's floor.
Important: You need the newest version of handle_schmematics for the shipwrecks to spawn.

Ship investigating the fate of several wrecks:


It is assumed that the water level was higher when this ship sailed here and eventually sank. The weather in MineTest does not seem to contain many storms; a surprisingly large amount of ship masts can still be seen standing and may give you hints where the wrecks rest.


Some wrecks rest well below the ocean, where it is cold and dark. Watch out for them! The chests are often filled with rich treasures.

Ok cool

Wow this awesome!
