Hello M@,

Hello,

Liyng Slopes added. At example they could be used good for edge etc.

[yves_de_beck]

Hello all,

- Some new NonCubic Shapes added.
- New Milling Machine menu with half height / normal height option.


Example of Lying Slope and the One / Two Curved Block of some materials:

Can you make, Small to Huge Blocks?

Can you make, Small to Huge Blocks?

I'm not shure, if i have understand you.

You can craft half height blocks to normal height blocks in ths mod, if you mean that??

[Likwid H-Craft]

no I mean Like have 20 x 20 Block Size or what ever the, true size of the, block make it 2x Bigger then it Normal size.

Okay I understand you.

That's no problem to make.... but make it sense to place so big blocks??? For what tasks do you need so big blocks???

[Likwid H-Craft]

Idk maybe make a House or something.

[Cybersoft]

I was thinking, could some engine changes be made to accomodate the creation of curves/slopes/etc on a large scale in the game?

Maybe a structure could be defined (ie: arched doorway) and you could build/destroy the whole structure, but not a specific block from it. ie: there would be a block generator that generate part of the archway as actual dynamic blocks - but those blocks wouldn't be saved, only the structure would be.

I see it as well. With many slim block is there more individualism than with some big blocks.
Further i have to take care, to make not to many blocks in my mod. To many blocks make the registering process on loading the game longer and longer. Furthermore it will be buggy with to much shapes in game.

But wy don't you make a mod with big blocks, Likwid H-Craft? Try it out

[Likwid H-Craft]

Well how I make them huge? that what I was kind of asking how one, make a Huge placeable block?

It not like you can edit the Texture size make it, bigger helps, so How I make it work? then I wll start making it.

Plus I like Big Blocks to be use for huge house addi, like for maybe a Game called Rattest were you are, tiny and Everything around, you is huge.

[yves_de_beck]

i make i small mod to show you how it works to make big blocks.

[Likwid H-Craft]

ok. anyway, when I was testing this the glass block growed upside down, is that a bug? or is it a system mistake.

[yves_de_beck]

Hmm.. Can you post a screenshot? Or your code? At best you ask in the modding general threat too. There are more coders who can help you to modding

For me it was a good help to take a look in the default game init.lua. In minetest/games/minetest/default/init.lua

[yves_de_beck]

Hello everyone,


Any ideas for new noncubic shapes??? (Shapes that make sense)



Post it!

Star?

[Mito551]

that's quite amazing. i'm suprised i haven't came across this topic.
keep up the good work!

[Jalo]

I wish you can, make a block that, can be together with the, stairs like the end, of it like this part. but I think it not possble.

[yves_de_beck]

Star?

I think it's possible. But seems not easy to create. I try it out.

[yves_de_beck]

Thank you!!!

Hello Jalo,

If I have undestand you right you mean a block like in the screen: (The slim stair upstairs, but standing on ground)


Right?

[Jalo]

Yes have a block like that, and it can be stacked on, top of it to make a wall or something, I don't know since I really have never seen it, done before not even Minecraft what a Shame. But if you can make it then if, Notch add it then Minetest had it first.

Edit:Oh and For more NonCubic Blocks, why not a Ball? then we can have maybe, ores work for that.

Calinou's Stairs Plus mod already has these quarter-sized blocks. Panels, they're called:

My wishlist for this mod…

• Have some blocks properly invertable, as can be done with standard step/staircase blocks.
• Update the buttons to show example blocks for whatever block type is dragged to the mill. (Where a type is missing, the corresponding button should show the default icon and be disabled.)
• In some cases, two output blocks, one being the inverse of the other, e.g. outer corners with the corresponding inner corners…?
• Quarter-cylinder blocks.

[VanessaE]

Properly inverted blocks will be possible very soon thanks to that "6d" facedir code that RealBadAngel is working on. 24 possible orientations, all from a single node and a facedir parameter.
