[abandoned mod] Geomoria [geomoria]

[azekill_DIABLO]

gigantic!

How do you exactly make it so lighten up?
The darkness of the underground caves makes it a bit hard to explore :P

I set DEBUG on in the mapgen file, which removes all the damage and falsely lights the chunks. The light will disappear as soon as you disturb anything, but it's good for checking my work.

A better way for regular play is to enable the cheap_lighting setting, which isn't always attractive, but doesn't ever disappear. I also use the flare gun from my fun_tools mod whenever I go exploring. It lights up a cave nicely, for a short while.

Edit: I'm working on adding more levels and connections to the existing geomorphs. I'm also setting up a connection to the surface. I think I may move the default depth up to -1.

Almost finished with the entrance plan. Entrances will be spaced in an 800 meter grid, and are fairly unobtrusive, at least in valleys mapgen.

Looks great for my subgame

[duane]

Geomoria will no longer write over the entire contents of a chunk with stone, sparing as much damage as possible to caves. The actual rooms and corridors will be surrounded by stone. It makes the crevasses more interesting.

Awesome. This'll be part of the next upcoming Illuna server.

[the_raven_262]

You made enough material here to make a subgame out of it :P

[Neuromancer]

I mentioned that Underworlds needs to be added to Minetest Game, so does Geomoria! adds so much interest to the underground areas!

[burli]

Duane's projects are great, but instead of adding new empty hollows we should fill the hollows we already have

At the first thank you for this mod!
I see the geomoria does spawn some chests without formspec/inventory. Maybe you add treasurer support at this place like implemented in http://repo.or.cz/minetest_tsm_chests_d ... :/init.lua?

I'm not going to add that to the mapgen -- for one thing, people will want to specify what kind of treasures go where, and I'm not willing to complicate the geomorph descriptions that much. I added the chests from Booty because they're trivial. If treasury has a node for generic treasure chests/caches, I'll put that in. Anything more would be a job for a separate mod.

To that end, I've added a hook function in init.lua which can be overridden to place anything you want (and start after functions if necessary).

[bell07]

Here is the treasurer mod that uses the new hook: https://github.com/bell07/minetest-tsm_geomoria
The code is based on tsm_chests_dungeon. Pls. note I am not really good in balancing things, so I am listening for adjustments proposals.

[the_raven_262]

I have a question, can the dungeon be limited so it extends only to the specific x and z coordinates?

[Diamond knight]

:0 This is massive, this could almost replace the (kind of basic) dungeons in default

[the_raven_262]

[azekill_DIABLO]

geomoria without stone!

[duane]

Madness!

[the_raven_262]

Do you think making some decorations for this would be possible?
I mean it almost looks like some kind of an abandoned temple, just missing some vines and stuff.
And for some reason I can't generate ores no matter how many times I set the configuration to true :/

[BirgitLachner]

What about having portals that are a bit hidden in the "overworld". You can see them but not really good. If you come close to the portal-stone you are teleported to one of the structures. To go back you need to find the back-portal or dig you up.

Normally, you want the mapgen to generate ores, otherwise you'll get them twice. If you aren't running a mapgen, you'll have to add a vm:generate_ores call after the set_*data calls. You'll still only get ores in regular stone and at the specified altitudes, unless you change the ore registration in the default game. See the default mod's mapgen file for that.

Then go through and add "{act='fill', node='grass', coords={...}, random=5}" items to the geomorphs. The x and z coordinates will be the same, just add one to the y coordinate. I guess you could make some geomorphs that don't have lots of floating tunnels, but if it's all floating, that's less of an issue.

I went for stairs instead. Pretty much the same thing.

[azekill_DIABLO]

just slower!

Lol :P

Does this mod works in 4.16 with mapgen v7? I've added this mod to a world but I cannot find geomoria caves underground. I also have Caverealms installed ant it works well.
