Already works in my computer. I can - if trully needed - use FreeCAD boolean operations to fuse all cubes into a single entity, but this is quite a costly operation.
TODO:
Minetest side - Add parameter handling and checking. Populate the mapping table. There are only two entries right now. (dirt and dirt with grass)
FreeCAD side - Add file selection interface. Change tile color by minetest mod mapping. Handle nodebox.
This is the result inside freecad:

To export a map piece from minetest :
- Code: Select all
/minetest <filename> <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2>
To import into FreeCAD :
Edit this line:
- Code: Select all
# replace filename - needs a beter interface
map = importvolumefile("c:/minetest/minetest-0.4.10/worlds/aldo/teste.vol")
"c:/minetest/minetest-0.4.10/worlds/aldo/teste.vol" is a fully qualified filename that points to a volume that i exported in my harddisk. Replace it with a correct fully qualified path name that points to the correct file inside your computer.
Cubes might happend to be mirrored/inverted, coords might happen to be rotated (x vs y, x vs z etc). Those small bugs need to be fixed by tests. First thing is to pupulate the "blockmapping" array in the lua source code. The blockmap has a simple structure, ["<registerednodename>"] = <value>. Any value above 0 will become a block inside minetest. The is scale is so that each block (node) inside minetest becomes a 10mm x 10mm x 10mm cube inside freecad. The scale can be changed by adding scale values to the importvolumefile call.
- Code: Select all
p = importvolumefile(<filename>, [<xscale>, [<yscale>, [<zscale>]]])
How to use :
Export a map area from inside minetest. The file will be saved into the world directory. Open that file in FreeCAD using the macro provided. Export the file in a format that can be understood by Slic3r. Slice it, and send to printer. Later i can provide a better interface for both freecad and minetest. But now it works and thats sufficient.
