A while ago, I ran into a bit of incomfort with MT, so i decided to change MT to look the way it supposed to look and to be. And this isn't supposed to be MT at all... Dwarves should do it.

Did I ever tell you that you are invited to MadHatter's tea party?

[img=1268x192]http://i.imgur.com/MirMUcv.png[/img]

Dwarves 0.8 (initiate!) (not sure this link works :D)
Dwarves 0.9 (mithrilling)
Dwarves 0.9.1
Dwarves 0.9.2
Dwarves 0.9.3
Dwarves 0.9.4 (honeymoon)
Dwarves 0.9.6 (cold update!)
Dwarves 0.9.6.1 (fixy thingy)
Dwarves 0.9.7 (need4spd)
Dwarves 0.9.8 (shrinking potion)
Dwarves 0.9.whatever (yes, this was latest)
Dwarves 0.9.(9) (46 things to see)
Dwarves 0.9.9.1(9)
Dwarves Latest (gitty hubby)

Installation

You download dwarves_game-master from github and place it in the games folder.
When updating, installing a newer version, you delete the old version and make fresh install.

Changes:

default changes:
Sounds
Textures (most of the default)
expanded steel/iron stuff. now iron is received from ore, steel is crafted or found.
MESE (as Military Enveloped Special Equipment) gives you by chance from 1 to 4 ingots:
- Gold (moreores)
- Silver (moreores)
- Lead (moreores, instead of mithril)
- Copper (moreores)
- Ebony (dwarves)
- Steel (dwarves)
- Pobe (dwarves)
- Mithril (dwarves)
- Iron (default)
Leaves drop apples.
Torch, Papyrus, Cacti fall.
Cacti do damage.
dwarves mod:
Beer (dwarf is not a dwarf, if he can't drink beer!) and cider brewing. (in a boxy barrel! :D fixed) currently is infinite and a bit cheating, but in future i plan to code a way of water running out and refilling the barrel.
Charcoal.
Glass Lamp.
Daggers of two kinds: Ebony and Steel
Ores:
Ebony
Obsidian (as an ore, yes.)
Diamond
Ruby
Sapphire
Emerald
Mithril
Alloys: (Allonsy!)
Steel (iron+coal)
Pobe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pobedit) (steel+coal) only axe, sword and something else, which will remain a secret for now.
Brass (iron+copper)
Cast iron (iron+charcoal in an interesting way...)
Adamntium
Little pieces of silver and gold, for jewelery, wip as well...

Ebony is like other ores (e. g. Iron) — you get a lump, you cook it, you make stuff.
Obsidian a bit another way — you get chunks, which you combine and get a block. Then, you use it for crafting and building.
Steel, Pobe and brass are like usual ingots. Steel and pobe are used for crafting tools. Brass is not at the moment.
Cast Iron is a block. VERY(and i'm thinking of making it stronger) strong one.

0.9 changes:

Durin's axe (http://screenshot.su/img/e4/a0/46/e4a04662635ce684be8740eac1b5e5ad.jpg)
Mithril (ore, only armor)
Adamantium (alloy = pobe + mithril + diamond + steel, best tools in the game, a bit slower than original mese)
ore generation reduced, hopefully
weed (farming mod) + dirt = dirt with grass

future changes will be as just new posts.

And screenshots, of course ;)
64x Pack

16x pack

more screenshots(16px): http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4402

i put this in the end, so hopefully all will see :)

I want to say thank you to certain people:

Eka-deilume (aka Eka) - friend of mine, an artist, who drew most of the items for me.
Terrasim - also a friend of mine, an artist, who drew a couple of item textures.
Cornernote - wiki creator :)
jordan4ibanez - code contribution!

+1 for longest post in the forum.

Posted: **Mon Sep 10, 2012 16:18**

i don't how to respond to that... it's not that big!! or you mean the text? then it could be. but is it relevant at all? how's the idea? how's the texturepack?
but +1 for the first and only response. -_-

Posted: **Mon Sep 10, 2012 17:39**

seems good. however the existance of animals on that list puts me off a bit.

Posted: **Mon Sep 10, 2012 18:04**

why would it? + you can easily delete it.

Posted: **Tue Sep 11, 2012 01:14**

That's a large list of mods. How well does it run?

Posted: **Tue Sep 11, 2012 04:20**

general peformance? it's the same as the default one. or at least i haven't noticed a change.

Posted: **Tue Sep 11, 2012 13:50**

You shouldn't use xdoors and xdoors2 at the same time.

Posted: **Tue Sep 11, 2012 16:08**

uhmm, thanks! trying to delete first one, see how that affects the stuff^^

So far so good ;) no new textures, sadly. but i fixed chests and dealt with compatability issue about iron. tnt and nuke added, technic, xdoors and doors deleted.

another update.

new textures, yay. picks, shovels, hoes.
ore generation finally works properly.
cornernote mods added: armor, bags, home ui, particles etc. (have i missed smth?)
cobble is lighter now.
barrel is now round, as it should be.

0.8 released!

Posted: **Sun Sep 23, 2012 01:53**

add the 3D mod torch http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3021

it doesn't make sense, to my mind. and download link is broken. i'll consider that suggestion, though. i like the idea of animated torches, but there should be a variety: standing torch, wallmounted torch. and as far as i see it, 3df doesn't really manage to do it.
however you have lighten up an idea in my mind, thanks :)

0.9 update with mithril!

0.9 changes:

how and where? maybe skype would be better?

really cool game, looks like you spent a lot of time tweaking everything.

I made a gamewiki so I could see what to make, etc. Thought I would make it public here:
http://cornernote.net/minetest/gamewiki/dwarves/

If you want to host it yourself let me know and I'll send over the files.

OMG, thank you SO much! i'm very much honored!

well, if you could continue hosting, that'll be great! i really consider that to be a great honor and am, in fact, very grateful! though, i'm not sure i'll be able to also hold a wiki. thanks!

this is what i wanted minetest fancy to be like, but since you've done everything i wanted to do and MORE! (:D) i will help you with this, so pm me please

ps, you should put in craft guide, but have it have to be powered by a lever to work!

and if you want some faster growing cactus and papyrus use this in place of the growing mod's init.lua

and also you should tweak the shears to use iron not steel

jordan4ibanez wrote:and also you should tweak the shears to use iron not steel

i consider this to be a feature which deals with compatability issue.
btw, thank you a lot for the code!

i pm'd you already. waiting patiently for the answer :)

and an update. a little one. minor fixes and changes, a couple of new mods.

here add this into the farming mod's pumpkin.lua

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: minetest.register_craft({ type = "shapeless", output = "farming:pumpkin_face", recipe = {"farming:pumpkin", "default:stick"} })

It makes it so you can craft an unlit jack-o-lantern from a pumpkin and a stick

why would it be shapeless?

update 0.9.2!

minor fixes and tweaks here and there with help of jordan4ibanez
axe balance improved (pobe ←→ adamantium)
walk the waterlily :D
changed cast iron texture
hardened the process of creating mese.
...and flint! with influence on jordan4ibanez's torch_plus mod. you get it from gravel, stone, sand(both desert and not) and sandstone(both desert and not).
mods added (hopefully i remember them :D):
torch_plus
paintings (with custom paintings from wokste)
craft_guide (oh guys, you'll be needing this...)

hives and bees are on their way...

I really think animals should be taken off... Or at least try combining the non aggressive mobs from mobf with the aggressive ones from simple mobs.
Also i don't think there's a need for having TNT and Nuke mods on the same pack.
This is a really great game mode :) runs pretty smooth and loads fast enough. Keep up the good job and thanks ;)

Edit: The download link appears to be broken.

0.9.2's link gives me an error

hmm, i'll think about mobs.
yes, i agree on that. next release will be without tnt.
thank you, i appreciate that! :)

0.9.3t!
major texture update, so there are screenshots. farming is changed greatly. mostly these are ovo's textures.
(including animated lava and finally animated water.)
also, flint and steel
and switching to simple mobs (partially, my own tex)
