[Mod] Angled Walls [1.2] [angledwalls]

[TumeniNodes]

+100 That looks awesome! Thanks again!

You're welcome, and thank you for the feedback and for asking for the support. Because of your request, I have learned something new.
Remember though, I have not pushed this in yet. I will push it tomorrow early evening. There are a couple other mod support I'd like to add, and a few little tweaks to make still.

Is there a way to make a mesh use two or more textures in Minetest?

Yes, you can use multiple UV maps in Minetest, you just need to have multiple UV layouts and materials in the software that you are exporting the OBJ with. I've done it on a bunch of my models.

Thanks Nathan but there is a little more to it then that I had to look at your mod to see what it is.
Here is the result.

I may not get a chance to look at this tonight pithy, but I want to leave it up to you if you feel this gives a better result and if they should be used. Does it give a better looking result that the textures I modified? You did the work for the models so I feel this is your choice : )
I just want to know what does it entail as far as changes to the init.lua (which is actually going to be the "angledwalls.lua" from here on, once I push my latest change in.

It looks the same but will make things easer for texture pack makers.
As for the init.lua all you have to change is the textures.

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

tiles = {"texture_for_edge.png", "glass_texture.png"},

a lie!

but it was a good qouestion

Edit from 25.3.2017: Huh, what did I write here and why?!

[pithy]

@DS-minetest, it is not a lie, there is just more to it like I said above.
In blender you don't only need different UV maps, you also need separate objects for each UV map.
When exporting to .obj you need to check "objects as obj groups".
When registering a node put in the tiles field "tiles = {"texture_for_object_1.png", "texture_for_object_2.png"...},".

[TumeniNodes]

I just finished tweaking all the glass textures. They definitely look much better now.
I feel, if the visual result is the same, then maybe best to simply keep it as it is now.? If the only benefit is to make it easier on potential / future texture pack artists/designers..., it would not be all that difficult to figure out. The new doors and fence texture layouts took me all of about 4 min. to figure out as soon as I saw them. So I honestly do not think it worth changing everything for that benefit alone.

pithy, I will most likely merge your angle-to change. I want to ask, do you think these angled windows will work with connected glass? I'm not sure if they will due to using custom textures... (maybe) vertically, but I am unsure about horizontally.

It can be the same object, just needs to be a separate material slot on the object. In the export there is something about UV objects or something like that. Not near a computer at the moment so I can't be sure of the exact wording.

[TumeniNodes]

Added support for quartz.
Made changes to the quartz mod, doing a PR for it tonight.
Push will be done asa I have figured out a couple of problems I am stuck on with supporting cblocks.

[coeseta]

So far this mod looks awesome TumeniNodes, keep up the good work :)

[Milan*]

Hmm since it looks like for creative mode only by default, i wonder if it wouldn't be a neat extension/enhancement for the circular saw (https://github.com/minetest-mods/moreblocks)

IDK, that is something I will have to look into at a later date.

What is the issue with cblocks?
Also, when I have a chance I will add support for this mod in mypaint.

I'm too inexperienced to make it work right now :P
I'm putting cblocks support to the side for now.

Right now I have bakedclay and quartz supported. I need to do a PR for quartz.

That is very cool Don, thank you.

I have noticed a slight flaw with angled walls though. Not sure if it bugs users enough to change but, there is a small gap in the angle front and back which creates a visual issue with building (if using a floor etc.) has anyone noticed it? :P
My proposed solution, is to make the back of angled walls a solid cube rather than angled... this would resolve that eyesore. But for this, I need to summon the Blender God, pithy :D
I have been practising with Blender a little and so far..., I can make.... a cube : [

Forget baby steps. I prefer snail speed.

This is a great mod, nice work!

[Don]

mypaint now supports angledwalls.
You will need mypaint
https://github.com/DonBatman/mypaint
and you will need mypaint_angledwalls
https://github.com/DonBatman/mypaint_angledwalls

[TumeniNodes]

Thanks DOOMed.

Thank you Don.
I do hope when I push the changes today, this will not make any problems for the work you've done? And..., did I list the stone types wrong? I'll have to look and fix that :P
The init.lua now only consists of dofiles/functions
There is an angledwalls.lua, bakedclay.lua, and quartz.lua.
Though I am nervous that I made a mistake, and may have set up quartz and bakedclay as hard dependencies, rather than soft?

I will show the code for bakedclay here. I do not want to push these changes if, indeed, I have set them up wrong. I did bakedclay and quartz the same way : /

As long as you have this code or similar in your init.lua file then it would not be a hard dependency.

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

if minetest.get_modpath("bakedclay") then
   dofile(minetest.get_modpath("mymeshnodes").."/bakedclay.lua")
end


Edit - I also made a PR to add a mod.conf file to the mod.

Yep, it has that.
Thank you..., I will push my recent changes tonight then, and merge yours and pithy's PRs.
Then, just a few more changes I want to make, which I need to ask pithy about..., then hopefully it will be ready to be moved into mod release : )

Hold off on my PR I may need to check it with your update to make sure nothing breaks.
Don's PR should be fine.

Hopefully I get this in before pwr out again. pwr has gone off n on a few times so wait until tomorrow for push sorry

[TumeniNodes]

Just finished updated files / textures, for those who have PRs and want to check.
Yep. last night, my power went off and on several times..., seems some overly festive, typical American, snapped a pole at the base. Anyway, all is back to normal now

Hi TumeniNodes, do you think it would be possible to add crafting recipes for survival, maybe something like that:

O = nothing
X = full block
H = half slab
G = glass

Angled wall:

O X X
X X X
X X O


Angled wall half size:

O H H
H H H
H H O


Angled window:

O O O
X G X
O O O

[azekill_DIABLO]

yeh great idea! also don't forget to make reversible

HHO
HHH
OHH

If these are available crafts, I'll gladly register them.
or, if you like, you can do a pull request, and I will merge your work, provided the recipes do not conflict with any from other mods.

The recipe idea is not bad but keep in mind that many servers use the circular saw.
To have this stuff with recipes instead don't really make sense/confuse players i think.. .

Edit: maybe with some kind of specific saw if not as an enhanced circular saw?
