[WIP][Mod] Lua map generator [0.1] [landgen]

[Fess]

Landgen is the lua mapgen with high mounts,volcanos, rivers etc, developed by my friend Midnightwraith.
It is based exclusively on default nodes, including water in rivers.

License of code, textures: CC0 . Some code in init.ua,functions.lua is based on modified paramat code.
Mod dependencies: default

+ Detailed description

Custom Lua map generator for Minetest (version 4.11 or above).
It completely changes map generation (forces singlenode, so using this in already generated world is not recommended).
Still it designed to bring maximal compatibility with current minetest_game (including rivers shape tuned to not create overflows of standard water), so it uses mostly original nodes with no overrides.
Mapgen contains noumerous biomes and relief types typically has sizes up to ~4km, based on 2 golden-ratio 3d perlin noises. It may be unbalanced globally and needs some tweaks or fixes.
Base part and geometry of mapgen is written and tested by MWraith, additional testing by Fess.
Surface layer creation is based by mudflow-like mechanism emulation originally created by Paramat (see viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8483 or https://github.com/paramat/stability ).

Nice.I will try this out tomorrow. We need more mapgens.

Yay, more mapgen mods! The terrain looks interesting and I love those caves.

Here are some suggestions from my side:
- Upload to (a) GitHub(-like) site to check out the code and create pulls and issues
- Add stability. Sand above caves would fall down if one of those is dug.
- Less stone at the surface, more dirt near to the sea and place randomly some dirt nodes on mountains.

Excelent!

One thing: can you add floating islands?

Hi Fess, is Midnightwraith a non-posting forum member by name of KevinArt18? We exchanged 74 emails while i was helping him develop a mapgen derived from my mods, i'm guessing this is the result.

Updated release:
https://yadi.sk/d/QXWR8Xszg6ikB
Changes:

• mod pseudorandom generator now based on map seed (not pr:next, which is slow)
• tweaked 3d noises, reduced octaves count
• removes one of cave noise, more "lightweight" calculation. Tweaked their math to compensate reduced amount of underground void
