FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Problems: None so far Well, it's easy to find them if you found one. Just walk straight north, south... and you find the next. It doesn't work that way on my system.

I've investigated the mod a bit in order to see if it could work on my server. It is quite impressive! I was wondering if there's a way to not cut off the caves and veins from the regular mapgen, but have them more integrated into each other? http://i.imgur.com/o21b5iq.png It's not only possible, i...

You should get Chewy to submit his asteroid crystals. It's pretty wierd.

Nice. It's a different method than Don Batman uses. Probably more efficient.

I like it!

Depths are measured in map chunks So high_chunk = -12 would be -192 nodes, right? Because i flied around there alot but didn't find anything with just underworlds activated. Did i made miscalculations or are they just so rare? -12 would be 48 + (80 * -12) = -912 on most maps (though chunk size can ...

I have the following problem: I wanna create a world with geomoria, fun_caves, underworlds and caverealms. To balance it, it should be parted into max height _and_ max depth. Didn't see a "simple" option to alter the code of {geomoria, fun_caves, underworlds}. Can u please help me with th...

The high_chunk and low_chunk parameters set the top and bottom of the spaces.

I wonder how those air particles are made? Where in the code is it built?

Thanks. Those lights come from the flare gun in fun_tools. I use it a lot while exploring.

This looks a lot like a Fallout type world, a large post-apocalyptic landscape covered by ruins and hostiles. I like it, it adds, in it's own way, more than the Aftermath game. +1 Thanks. At some point in the future, I'm going to break this mod up the way I did fun_caves, separating the actual mapg...

Actually, it is. I deliberately allowed them to be buried. It makes them seem more ancient to me. Nice screenshot though.

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. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=9364&sid=d...

Almost finished with the entrance plan. Entrances will be spaced in an 800 meter grid, and are fairly unobtrusive, at least in valleys mapgen. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=9341&sid=40f52c283afe09ee51c9bda9ea25ab48 https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode...

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 wo...

With a little skin rework I was thinking maybe this could be the Balrog: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15899 https://s12.postimg.org/l2l268hr1/demon3.png Maybe some rotation on the horns, some wings, and fire particles :D That would be cool, but I'm not going to put any specifi...

That could be it, i'll have to retry with going deeper. EDIT : That was it indeed, as soon as i went way down, below -200 , i saw this : http://imgur.com/pCMi8gg After browsing, i think then the depths is setup by those in the scripts geomoria_mod.geomoria_depth = -2 (geomoria_depth - 1) * 80 - 32 ...

I love how i see progress every time i open up this topic :D I have a question, non mapgen related... why is the cobble and stone on your screenshots in the 32x32 resolution? It seems a bit odd. Why not? "And here we are at the stupendous Moria Underdome waiting for those fighting Balrogs to e...

Might have got a little carried away with this one...

I've added fissures and chasms. These are optional, but enabled by default. It's just not as terrifying with cute goblins. https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=9251&sid=17d8820222bea3d3636fb6fdcba5c288 https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=9250&am...

I've added stairs, ladders, and false walls (hidden doors), for even more complexity. To test them out, I put in a few hidden passages, upper levels, and a submerged level in the reservoir. Of course, taking full advantage of this means designing each geomorph will take even longer. /sigh https://fo...

Nice work by the way :D

I put in a setting for that. It looks strange to me to have ores spawn in finished walls, so it's not on by default.

I use this mod to save trees I build. Works fine so far. But is it possible to format the output of data like this? This makes it easier to edit the data. Currently I format this by hand size = { y = 10, x = 9, z = 11 } , data = { ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ...
