Moontest might have disabled the engine's map generator to replace it by its own generator, and once you disabled it there were simply no map generator. To fix it, go to the world's directory, and open "map_meta.txt". You should find a line with "mg_name = singlenode" (if that's ...

The problem is that a leaves block is not linked to a tree. It would be difficult to code. Metadata are unappropriate because too slow for a huge quantity of nodes. param2 might be a solution, but it's not as handy to manipulate (values from 0 to 255). I made an experiment last year, here.

I looked in the code, and it seems that the probability is the same for both trees (1/20). You should even get more saplings per jungle trees because it has more leaves. But if you cut only one tree in a dense forest, the nearby trunks will prevent some leaves from popping (a leaves block pops when ...

Error occured with automatic exit from gameplay when I typed /mapfix 1000 If this value considired too big, then your script must check it, warn about it, but not crash with errors and breaking the game. Thank you :) Done: I've limited the radius to 120 nodes, and changed the max radius for players...

I like the concept a lot.
The deciduous forest soil is great, but I think the pine needles soil is too light and too grey.

I looked a lot MineCraft videos and i tought why MT have no big swords like Minecraft.

What is the purpose of such a sword, except imitating Minecraft on principle, and masking the player's view?

probably it does, i suppose it's based on deleteblocks.

You can display the minimap (F9), and increase the viewing range (key "+"), that may help :) On which server do you play? Some servers have an online map of the world, that can be found on the server's website. EDIT: another option: if this server has the marker mod installed and if you ha...

Some things should be changed (smaller radius by default) but yes, it's a very simple code, there is not a lot of issues to fix. The code is somewhat hacky, in fact it gets a voxelmanip and immediately write it (after recalculating liquid flow) and while writing it, it automatically recalculate the ...

Hi 0kk0, welcome. The only suggestion I would have is create some options for generating a world apart from inputting a world seed. This would help for players to pick certain options that would allow them to create the world with attributes they want. The mapgen has many parameters, nearly all is c...

I hope that in the future, the developers add the magic "recalculate" button for old mapgen.... ;-) The problem is: how to deal with changes that players made? Should them be preserved? And if the new terrain is lower, will they float in the sky? I think a really reliable "recalculat...

Hi Codesound, Minetest doesn't recalculate existing zones. If you change something about map generation (new trees or different settings in map_meta.txt), it does not change anything in already existing areas, which have already been generated. But if you go to an unexplored place (an area which doe...

Could you show your debug.txt? It will help to understand the problem.

What OS is he using? and how has he installed Minetest? AFAIK it's not a very common bug.

There was one, some times ago, but it seems to be down, see here.

I just found it :D
I'm too used to find the code on the first post.

You should put a description, a picture and a link to the download and the repo, on the first post. This would make your mod much more attractive :)

Where is the code?

There is a "capture the flag" by rubenwardy here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=12835

Hi Tyveras, and welcome to the forum. I'm very happy to see that someone can make 3D models for this subgame :) ATWT don't even exist for now, but the project seems very promising. What we need to do now is to bring precise ideas about the project. sofar has opened 21 discussions on github including...

Homedecor (especially meshnodes)
Caverealms
Watershed
Pipeworks, I had a lot of fun by making insane circuits and putting huge quantities of items inside (often carrots… why? I don't know…)
DarkAge

just an idea: what about taking screenshots randomly when playing, and show it on next loading time?

Je confirme, j'ai déjà eu ça, sur un très vieil ordi (le machin a au moins 15 ans). J'ai désactivé les shaders, et après c'était à nouveau normal.

Trail of Books ? I think that's the best in twoelk's list.

I think we should nearly begin from scratch (only copy the most basic features from MT game) and define each block, and not hesitate to diverge from MT_game. Too many subgames are only a partial rewrite of MT_Game with some mods added with very few modifications, so the whole is not coherent (Exampl...

Gael-de-Sailly, next release is around 21st Dec, feature freeze 2 weeks or so before. If you are inspired to improve mgvalleys noise params that would be great. My only request is that the pattern of the rivers tends to be a little too small-scaled because the 'spread' is small. It's possible to in...

So you're using the core version. This should work. It will modify the landscape smoothness too (because less valleys).

in minetest.conf, add this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: vmg_noise_2 = 0, 1, (512, 512, 512), -6050, 5, 0.6, 2 vmg_river_size = 3

for 2 times rarer rivers.

A lot of things can be done with `minetest.override_item` and even crafting recipes can be removed, but I'm left to wonder if that's really wanted and makes things more flexible to begin with. For my part, I'm against overriding. It may create confusion, and some mods might do something with the it...

9 months after… is the project still alive ?
I've tried a lot of subgames, for me no one is good enough. Every one has its flaws. So I think that making a good subgame alone is nearly impossible, and subgames should be developed by a team.
I've read all of the plan, and I agree with all of it.

duane wrote:Wouldn't it be simpler and more efficient to remove the abms altogether and make leaf decay an on_destruct function of tree-type nodes?

Very interesting too.

If you have a schematic that over-writes one tree with another, which probably happens a lot in the mapgen, wouldn't you still get ugly holes when you remove the newer of the two? I've seen it but for me it's not worse than previously. With the current minetest_game leafdecay, in a very dense fores...
