New download has been put up. It now has taint crystal ore that drops 1 taint shard that can be used to craft a taint block. The craft is just 9 shards in the crafting table. The ore spawns under -1500 and is fairly rare. This taint while spreading on ores should create tainted resourses, which can ...

I had tried to make something like this, but due to my impaired coding skills, I couldn't. Great job! Some ideas are a pure block that spreads only on tainted blocks. and a temple/structure that might randomly spawn somewhere on the tainted block. In the temple, which might be made out of something...

Aha! I knew I forgot something in the first post! :)

Taint is a mod based on the taint from Thaumcraft 2. It starts when someone places a taint block (currently only available in creative). When someone places a taint block, it starts spreading rather slowly, but as more blocks become tainted, it spreads at a more rapid pace. Taint affects dirt, grass...

New download up. Can't remember what I added. I'll start making a changelog.

I've started working on this mod again. New download is up, mod has been redesigned from scratch (aside from the textures), and still nothing to do in survival. Yipee.

It doesnt crash for me. I dunno why it isn't. If I comment out this code, it runs fine. :/ More informations! Used platform, version… phase of the moon. Windows Vista, MT 0.4.9, waning crescent ;) You could try minetest --trace . minetest --trace? EDIT: Wait, I just now got what you mean and I feel...

When I execute this code, Minetest crashes without error. minetest.register_abm({ nodenames = {"thaumtest:nitor"}, interval = 0.5, chance = 1, action = function(pos) minetest.add_particle({ pos = pos, velocity = {x = 0, y = .5, z = 0}, acceleration = {x = 0, y = 0, z = 0}, expirationtime = 1, textur...

Thank you a lot! I thought for sure that by the way you first replied, I asked a REALLY simple question. haha. But thanks for showing me this. It looks really interesting and I will definitely have a look at it.

But can I use that function to get a list of ALL the nodes in a chunk some how? As far as I can see, you have to specify which nodes you want it to search for in the third argument of that function.

I'm trying to get a list of every node position in a chunk including the air nodes. How can I do this? I tried doing minetest.env:find_nodes_in_area(minp, maxp, {}). The problem is, as far as I know, you can't get a list of EVERY position in that chunk with that function. Does anybody know how to do...

Actually, my Linux box crashed (who ever heard of Linux crashing, right?) and I lost all of the latest source. It wasn't a whole lot, but I haven't gotten around to downloading the source from my dropbox and installing Minetest again. I will today and see what I can come up with and remake all of th...

I've been trying to get a "cauldron" to change into a "cauldron_filled" by right-clicking it with a "bucket:bucket_water" in hand. I have tried several times and failed at each attempt. How would I go about this? Thanks in advanced.

Actually, that's just unfinished code for the tree generation. It will be a full tree when finished.

EDITT: I am not adding potions to Thaumtest.

0.4.6 makes the machine run even slower than 0.4.4 does. That and it crashes a lot more even WITHOUT my mod on it. Idk if it's just my machine, or if it's bugs with the game, but 0.4.4 is the best choice for this computer. EDIT: Also, if you would like to try out the latest version, here is the link...

Maybe one day it will, but hopefully not anytime in this stage. Honestly, other than adding a few blocks and items, the mod serves no purpose at the moment. Now when research is finally implemented and I can make golems (possibly), new furnaces, and metal transmutation, then it would have a reason t...

Do you think these look good for hypermatter? They will definitely change later, but for now? Crystal: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3960/hypermattercrystal.png Ore: http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/5088/hypermatterore.png And heres a screenie of them in-game: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27...

I'm kind of leaning towards hypermatter. I'm thinking the ore should be black and sort of shiny. The crystal could be black with a white middle to give the illusion of a black transparent crystal with a glowing white core. I could make hypermatter blocks. If transparency works with nodeboxes, I can...

Alright, I'll start working on a texture for it when I get home using that as the design. I think we need a name for the new ore more than we need a textire for it at the moment, though.

Creating original textures for this mod can make it stand out more and give the Minetest community a better image. It can also be fun to create textures. My idea for the custom ore would be some sort of mysterious material that is from a higher dimension. It's blocks could have the design in the im...

Hey, if you need custom nodeboxes, I can make some for you if you want. :D That would be great! Actually, there are three that I could use at the moment. Could you make one that looks like the tables in Thaumcraft 3, one that looks like cauldrons from Vanilla MC (with the legs), and one for a doubl...

You coming along nicely with those textures? I haven't been able to work on the mod for a few days because my Linux box has been screwing up and not allowing me to run Minetest for some reason. It's fixed now, however, and I will continue to work on it.

I've PM'd you the link to the download.

I don't know cpp that well. :P But I'll have a look at your mod and see what I can figure out. Thanks! :)
EDIT: I'm having trouble finding code for any trees at all. In your post, you said something about rubber trees, but in the zip, I can't find anything to do with trees.

One of the main troubles I am having while programming my mod is making trees generate. I have an idea on how on how to make the trees generate without randomizing the leaves, but that takes a MASSIVE amount of repetitious code. How does minetest generate trees like it does? I have searched through ...

This image shows the latest content in Thaumtest. I can send you the link to it so you can start working on the textures if you want to, windmere. http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/8987/screenshot2336183606.png Also, do you have any ideas for a new ore that we can put in Thaumtest? I don't want it ...

I've update the first post after a few tweaks to your design. Check it out and see if you like it.

Yeah go for it. And if you could, fit that big square logo in there some how. lol I couldn't find a way to make it fit. haha

I've update the first post with it at the bottom. I am working on the crucible. I just wonder if there is a way to make bubble particles come from the center to make the water look as if it is boiling.
