[Mod] NonCubic Blocks Mod [1.4] [noncubic]

[Nore]

So you can't do any shape, just a shape in a list. I understand better...

[Sokomine]

I think its time to create a 'cnc milling machine' block.

by right click on the cnc block open an furnance like menu.
Then you put in the material and by clicking on different shape buttons you get the noncubic material you want.

That sounds like an excellent idea. Not only for those shapes in your mod but for stairs+ as well. Especially for creative mode but also for normal operations. stairs+ fill up craft guide and creative inventory and make it difficult and slow to find the needed things. Yet they are very useful for building.

A machine (=node with a formspec) where you put x nodes in the input form and can draw a fitting amount of stairs, slabs etc. from the selection formspec would be fine. It doesn't require a seperate output form (all available shapes would be output forms). If you provide several input fields, mixed unused blocks (e.g. 3 stairs, 5 slabs, 4 microblocks)) could be recycled more easily than with normal crafting receipes. They just have to be the same material.

Status:

- Normal height elements (straight, cross, edge, t, end ) added.
- Sticks of many default materials
- code cleaned and some recipes optimized.

I downloaded the zip and put it in the mod folder but it would only allow me to craft the new objects with glass.

Hello kazzam,

Which recipe dosn't work in detail?

When you craft from Stone / Cobblestone / Brick / Sandstone or Wood you need first to craft stairs. With these stairs you can craft the shapes in this mod.

When you craft with leaves, dirt or glass, then you can use the normal blocks to craft the shapes.

Sticks you can craft from all normal blocks.

Thanks for clearing this up. I didn't know you had to use stairs to craft the recipes.

Hi kazzam,

No Problem.
In the next Mod Update, stairs mod is no longer needed.

The Milling Machine Block works very well and makes the recipes unnecessary

Based on your idea and after having trouble with too many slabs and panels filling up my inventory, I wrote a mod for stairsplus. The circular saw mod only covers stairs from stairsplus.

There it is!!!!

The Milling Machine:

[kazzam]

When will the milling machine be available?

[addi]

i prever this version where the milling menu is transparency

its more modern than the background image

and it looks uniform, better suited to other menus

Hi Addi,

let us vote!

Alternatively, I could also add a option in the init.lua

Might look something like:
....
-----------------
detail level = 32
old_style_menu = true
-----------------
....

Hey Kazzam,

It is already available

Download new Version of NonCubic BLocks Mod

Recipe:

[addi]

-----------------
detail level = 32
old_style_menu = true
-----------------
....

thats might a solution on singleplayer but whats with multiplayer?
this config shuld be in mintest.conf
may: allow_menu_background = false
so each player can chose for itself if it want to use the background image

btw: it works in 0.4.3 and there is no background (yippie)

what i mean with the background is the chat menu is transparent and the main menu, chest menu, furnace menu, inventory,hud with selected block ,...
so i think it fits better to the other menus

but thats realy a great mod!

this is a mod that minetest makes a lot better! i realy like it

Hi Addi,

Ok, you're right. Its much better to config that in the minetest.conf.
I will implement it one of next updates.

Thank you!

WOW THIS LOOKS EPIC!

[Ragnar]

umm...how long did it take to minetes.register_* all of those?

Hi Ragnar,

not very long on my eeepc (it's a very slow machine - Intel Atom 1,6GHz 1Gb Ram) it takes about 10 sec to load from main menu into the game.

NonCubic Blocks V1.3 out

- Glass temporarily removed:
It looks not good with the default texture. Comes back in one of the next versions

- Milling machine now has transparent menu as default:
But you can change it back in the init.lua

- make some restrictions with dirt:
Make a bit more realism. You can't make spheres or sticks from dirt.

- Mod Code optimized

- Crafted NonCubics with Dirt now have the grass texture on top and sides

Take a look:


Let's implement it in the Map Generator

[M@]

could you add this block that fits in a corner and makes it smooth?

Hello M@,

In the next Update on Friday, it is added

[Likwid H-Craft]

You should add lava and, water but water, flows odd so as lava.

Hi Likwid H-Craft

I do not think that makes sense. xD

Fluids flowing away simply, Just after the the shape has been created...

Thanks!
