Re: [Mod] More Trees! [git][moretrees]

by VanessaE » Post

Update: This mod now uses default nodes wherever possible: jungle tree sapling, trunk and leaves (green; red and yellow are still separate), pine sapling, trunk and needles, and acacia sapling, trunk and leaves.

The regular saplings for those three trees will grow randomly into either their default models as seen in a basic Minetest install with jungles enabled, or their Moretrees counterparts (at least, they should!). Note that the "_ongen" saplings always grow into the Moretrees versions of these trees.

Plantlife modpack also required a small update in its trunks and woodsoils components to account for this change.

Another update: finally made birch, spruce, fir, and the Moretrees versions of jungle trees work again! Also, changed the biome def for those jungle trees to use the same settings as plantlife's giant ferns.

This mod now uses the engine/game's default leaf decay code for all of its leaves.

In the process, I turned the radius for palm leaves down to 10 (from 15). If you have a moretrees_settings.txt in your world folder, delete it. It will not be recreated, so if you have a custom setting you want to keep, copy and paste as needed.

Is there a way to add a craft item to the rubber trees. That besides extracting Latex off the trees or grinding the trunk them extract the grindings to get the latex. Can you cook the Leaves and get the latex.

I've tried dreambuilder on minetest-0.4.13-this-friday-git and right away I got shadow under more trees bug :), also, what is funny, there is snow biome (tundra or taiga, don't know) and it contacts with water with tiny strip of sand... on which palm trees grow (suddenly!) :) minetest_game was 1 or 2 days old.

Problems with growing rubber trees. I started a new world and upon exploring i find the rubber tree and found a sapling, took it back to base and planted it but it has not grown at all still a sapling. I have not changed anything to the trees mod, I have even reinstalled it started a new world and they still wont grow. Other saplings will grow.

Check that you planted it at the right elevation, otherwise it will not grow:

Two really annoying things about this mod:
1. Planting and growing trees is impossible if you built out of elevation.
2. If you want saplings, better plan a day or two of mining leaves.

I have a feeling that it is the temperature doing it. Is there a way to disable i or see what temp is around you.

I think the temperature is only used during worldgen. The temperature values aren't stored anywhere.

more trees is completely unusable now. I use the latest versions of minetest, v7 mapgen, moretrees, moreblocks and biome_lib and it never was that worse. No other mods used for this screenshot

This is a known engine problem, happens with mapgen v7 and most others except for v6.

It is not a Moretrees bug.

See https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/3421 for explanation.

Not a mod bug, l-system currently causes lighting bugs, subtle in mgv6, extreme in all other mapgens.
L-system may have been merged because no-one noticed the subtle shadows in water during testing, or changes to lighting code over the years created the subtle bugs later.
Then the new mapgens came along with 1 up 1 down overgeneration which makes the bug more extreme.

If you can cope with subtle shadows in water use the moretrees option to place trees as saplings, in all non-mgv6 mapgens.

Vanessa, could you just make growing them via saplings by default to avoid these questions until bug is fixed in engine? People are using it on server with those broken shadows all over it and don't even know about this method.

At one time, that was the default setting, and I am not about to change it back to just to accommodate an engine glitch. :-P

Look in your world directory for a file named "moretrees_settings.txt" (if it doesn't already exist, create it), and add this to it:

Code: Select all

moretrees.spawn_saplings = true

First page actually says it is planted as saplings by default, my point is people (including admins) rarely read README.TXT or whatever and just enable it in mods and rage how minetest so itty and mods unstable, bug on bug la-la-la, better generate them as saplings, you will wait for bugfix of shadow for years probably :}

It gives a /mapfix command that fixes shadows (and fluids) around the player issuing it.
Mapfix is not a solution if you have to type /mapfix every minute. Maybe it can be called in the background every 10 seconds, but it is still... crap

I tryed the sapling option. Better than nothing. But it is scary if a Sequoia grows right in front of you and you see nothing and it is dark :-D

I really hope that this bug will be fixed soon. It's annoying

Whats wrong with planting saplings instead? :/ Abm should not be that heavy. Also, add red text with warning about shadow issue.

The word is "sapling" :P anyway it's because I simply prefer to have the mod spawn the trees already grown.

I wonder if it is possible to enable instant spawning on mgv6 and sapling-like spawning on other mapgens automatically?

I think that's possible but I've never looked into it, since it's so trivial to change the setting.

Have you ever considered adding maple? They are quite popular here in the states.
