FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

A bar or something like that on top of the topmost curtain could be helpful to distinguish it from plain wool. Other than that: Nice idea.

Nice new plants. It's good to have more of them around! Though they might not fit well into a dryplants/dreambuilder game as those have more realistic-looking textures somehow. But these textures are fine as well.

Emerald and glowstone both in stone and as blocks look very nice. Maybe the emerald could get a torch inside and emit some glow? The texture looks like it might fit well.

A schematic with a side-length in all directions of 170 nodes is very big and may cause some load due to memory requirements. It will extend over three mapchunks in each direction. May I ask why it has to be that big? Using voxelmanip is far more flexible in that regard. Also take a look at my mg_vi...

The general description of how mapgen works is correct. However, as duane already pointed out, there are further effects. One of them is the overlapping with neighbouring mapchunks that has already been described. It is a 16 node wide "shell" around the actual mapblock and allows such stru...

Part of my dwarfen city fell prey to griefers/thieves. Ought to have protected all of it and not just the more important part. Anyway...here comes a backup :-)

hi! really nice mod! I would like to try to make NPC's to manage state, you know, talk to the user when clicked instead of the default behaviour of receiving damage. Wonder if there are some guidelines around that, perhaps a forked version of this mod? The esmobs tell the player their name and inte...

Directly displaying the screenshots in the first post would be good. Many people go by screenshots alone and hardly read what's written and thus will fail to notice this mod.

The buiding in the screenshots looks very good. Reminds me a bit of Mauvebics mods and builds in style.

The movie was a very impressive one, and so is the mod. Combining it with the space world (moontest based) on one of OldCoders servers like Inocudom suggested sounds like a very good idea.

In how far?

For that, you might also want to take a look at the build chest from my handle_schematics mod. It makes loading buildings a lot more convenient than with plain WorldEdit.

Very cute mobs! Hope to meet them somewhere soon :-)

Biome_lib/undergrowth adds nodes that look more like dirt than grass below trees. That also turns forrests and trees into a more impressive sight, regardless of the actual lighting.

Welcher Teil würde Euch da am meisten Interessieren? Königsdorf - die möglichst realistische Stadt, Weltenrennen - der Parkour-Rundkurs oder das Straßennetz welches noch ein paar Orte miteinander verbinden sollte? Königsdorf. Ein Parkour gibt relativ wenig her und kann auch gut von weniger fähigen ...

Die basic_machines von rnd sind für solche Bauvorhaben auch ganz gut geeignet. Man erspart sich dabei das Leitungen ziehen.

Finally! Some way of recycling organic material. I'm sure it'll look very decorative in gardens and be useful there. However, getting dirt is only of limited use - most worlds contain so much of it already. Fertilizer that speeds up plant (or tree!) growth might be quite welcome in those worlds whic...

Added support for myfences.

Nice fences. They're covered by my colormachine now as well. Hope I didn't forget any of those my*-mods :-)

The diamond lamp looks particulary nice. The receipe just seems to be a bit expensive. Some cheap glass ought to do as well :-)

I've created a new version of this mod with the intent of maintaining it aggressively, as well as perhaps merging it into minetest_game if possible. But please without that annoying damage torches deal out! And...having diffrent torches is also less nice as it makes conversion back to normal torche...

Looks very nice. The clay found in some biomes of such type is also useful.

sofar wrote:Unlike other converters, this converter can handle doors, grass colors and biome coloring, and leaves!

I'm intrested in how you did that. My mccompat mod doesn't handle grass and biome colors well and needs improvements in that regard.

Following mobs is usually not a problem in the game. They head straight for you once they want to kill you and otherwise go about their business. There's not much following around involved. Perhaps your trails could be manure trails instead? At the end of the trail, a mob might await you.

Maybe even just regular wood could be painted for the houses? I think that would be easier than the usual of using wool and hopefully look more natural. You know those huge statues people make in MC with wool to look like pixel art? I was thinking perhaps this would be an easier alternative and hel...

You might want to have a look at the Minetest mod search page [url="http://krock-works.16mb.com/MTstuff/modSearch.php?st=0&at=0&q=dungeon"]searching for dungeon[/url]. Some of them focus entirely on dungeon generation and skip the rest of the world. There are also mods with treasur...

Spawn is filled by buildings of users that have been inactive for a long time, that not even file of their last login exists. I think that the server would benefit from clearing some of them for new players to build, since one thing that discourages new players is the difficulty of finding a place ...

Der Chatbefehl alleine als Code gepastet wird vermutlich kaum jemanden interessieren. Pack es auf Github und poste einen Download-Link :-)

Allerdings gibt es auch andere Mods, die bei der Identifikation und/oder dem Entfernen seltsamer Blöcke helfen. WorldEdit ist da wirklich sehr nützlich.

It is difficult to find words in such a situation. I don't know if he knew me further, and I can't claim to have known him closely. Our areas seldom intersected, with him knowing so much about graphics and me so few. Yet we sometimes talked on IRC, and it was a pleasure. Each time we talked, he was ...

The road layout looks good. In order to work well, the roads will need houses. And there it gets complicated. Duanes small skyscrapers seem to work fine, while larger houses are more difficult to place. I'm also looking for a good way to do roads large-scale. Paramats path mapgen is fine, but the pa...

Ah. Das "zu einfach" bezieht sich also auf den Survival-Aspekt (Mapgens finde ich z.B. gar nicht einfach - oder pathfinding für NPC :)). Wenn Du ein herausforderndes Survival-Spiel suchst, probier es mit Adventuretest. Dort befindet sich zwar sogar noch mehr Nahrung in den Kisten in den Dö...

Im Prinzip tippt man im Chat ein, haut auf auf zwei gegenüberliegende Blöcke, die den Bereich markieren, den man bearbeiten möchte, und gibt dann im Chat einen Befehl ein, der sich auf diesen markierten Bereich bezieht, z.B:
