[Mod]Lightning[lightning] (weather|environment|fire)

[sofar]

Have a scare with lightning!

Lightning strikes happen randomly above ground, set blocks on fire, and possibly change sand into glass, tree trunks into coal, and more! The mod contains several textures and sounds. When lightning strikes, the entire sky is lit up brightly!

Ooooooo. Pretty!

Is there a "/strike <username>" command in work?

Nice mod.
Would be much better if Lightning appears when the weather is rainy if mymonths installed.

That's easily doable. Who do you have it in for?

[iangp]

+1 for that ^o^

[cd2]

that looks great!

XDDD +1

I really like this mod, very interesting use of the particles. I can imagine HV tesla coils, plasma balls and the like being possible too. It's a real shame the particles cannot emit light, but I doubt that will ever be possible with the current lighting model.

+1 It should require a 'god' or 'thor' privilege ;-)

tenplus1 posted an issue/feature request for this a while back.

I've just pushed a change that will "light up the sky" briefly. Try it out.

now i can make a herobrine lightning rod!!! finnally the code i am looking for!!!

[sofar]

Updates:

- reduce chance of actual spreading fire by 10. (now 1:1000)
- reduce chance of nodes getting modified (1:10)
- adds a "dying flame" node that does not ignite other nodes
- lightning by default places the "dying flame"
- "dying flame" node destroys itself within a short period

This makes the mod a bit safer, I was noticing a lot of modified nodes in the landscape on my personal server, a bit too much for my liking. Happy striking!

I use tenplus1 fire mod.

[sofar]

I use tenplus1 fire mod.

I was going to say not to do that. However, the fix is relatively simple. And I've pushed it to git.

So now I'll just say, next time don't do that, and tell me first if you're using modified versions of default mods! ;)

[MoNTE48]

I did not see the code and did not think that there are any problems. I've never even looked what is the difference between minetest_game fire and tenplus1 version. :)

tenplus1' version removes the fire-sound API - the reason for the crash. What tenplus1 should do is make the API calls available but not do anything, so it's API compatible.

Latest version of Fire Redo is based on the new default fire mod with redo changes applied and api compatibility: https://github.com/tenplus1/fire

The angry of GOD?

[sofar]

FYI the lightning mod now has an API that makes it easily integrated in other mods.

Now other mods could invoke it to strike players.

I add it to mymonths. It makes storms look better.
Love this mod!

[Sokomine]

That's a very good idea for survival-based games. Nature becomes more thretening that way (to a degree).

[sofar]

FYI I didn't mention this explicitly, but any player that's nearby the place where the lightning strikes will take a significant amount of damage. Not enough to kill a player at full health, but it will kill a player that's low on health.
