[Mod] Space [space]

[TheReaperKing]

I have been loving playing it on my own and going to test it with the kiddos tomorrow!! I can let you know what they think if you are interested :) Also going to try to get permission from the school (especially since it is summer camp) to try Mars Survive!

[jakab]

with minetest 0.4.14 is work ?
i cant find planets asteroids in the correct height :P
and also mars survival wont wors too :/
can somebodey help me ?

In order to get to space, do you have to build your way up all those thousands of blocks or use fly or /teleport? Or is there another way to get to space?

[AiTechEye]

The space starts at +2000, it does not mather how you are coming up.

so you can do both, build, fly, teleport, the space should always appear

The planets appear as massive platforms at +4200.

The mod is based on generating ores, and spawn things on them.

[echosa]

Right, I got that. I'm wondering about how to get that high, though. Are there any blocks, tools, or vehicles to get you there? That would be pretty cool, so you don't have to build a 4000+ block pillar, ladder, or stairway just to get to space.

Also, I tried running this mod at the same time as asteroid. It seems they both work, but the asteroid skybox takes over, meaning we don't get the nice skybox available from the space mod. Any idea how to get them to work together but have your skybox show up?

[TheReaperKing]

You could just copy the skybox from the space mod and replace the asteroid mod with it :) or you could just rename the spacemod to aspace. I believe that should work anyway since it would load the space mod first. Let me know if it works out!

[echosa]

Ah, so mods just get loaded alphabetically, and the first loaded takes precedence? I considered making asteroid a dependency of space, to force asteroid to load first, and then space would load, overwriting the skybox. If what you're saying is true, though, that wouldn't work.

[TheReaperKing]

Test it and find out :) That's how we learn!!

[echosa]

Renaming didn't work, and I didn't feel like making one a dependency of the other. I just went into the Lua code for asteroids and commented out the two lines that set the skybox. That seems to have worked just fine. :-)

[TheReaperKing]

Awesome nice work and thanks for the update!!!

[Diamond knight]

someone should make a mod for minetest that is like the warpdrive mod from minecraft (only the movingships and some of the equitment part, not the worldgen or the stuff that isnt possible in the api right now)

the worldedit mod will help as warpdrive does a very similar thing

[Andrey01]

That`s very nice!!But only how to come in space?

[AiTechEye]

The space appear after +2000, so you have to fly or teleport, outspace at +4000

like /teleport 0 2050 0

[jakab]

it is working with marssurvive ?

[AiTechEye]

i think i added support for it, i don't remember.

but used a part of the ,mars mod to it... try

[GreenDimond]

Just so you know, this messes with other_worlds a bit.

[MangleFox70]

Just so you know, this messes with other_worlds a bit.

I'd like to try to make them work well together... perhaps make other_worlds a part of the modpack and make whatever tweaks are needed to let them play well together. I'll host it on github and welcome any PR's or feedback. I'm also testing this on TPS-SciFi (currently beta testing at servers.minetest.tv port 30004).

Does this mod have settings so you can easily adjust which heights things do/don't appear at? If so it should be quite easy to run alongside other_worlds.

The problem with running multiple space mods is that they can fight for control of things like the sky box and gravity, as well as attempt to generate content at the same heights if you don't make adjustments to account for it.

(Maybe those of us with space mods should agree to make sky box changes optional so people wanting to run more than one mod at once can just choose a mod to control the sky box if they don't have the ability to adjust the code themselves?)

[echosa]

I have a game (or is it subgame? I can never remember the right terminology) I've been working on and testing on stream for a while. It includes several space mods. There were definitely conflicts, but luckily most (maybe all?) of them had a setting, or at least a variable somewhere, where the y-level boundaries could be set. I simply changed them all to layer them as I desired:

- <mod name>: <y levels where the mod is active>
- skylands: 700-4000
- other_worlds: 5000-6000,6000-7000
- asteroid: 8000-14000
- asteroids: 15000+

Other Worlds has two different levels within itself, hence the two sets of numbers.

I also added the space modpack, but I removed `space_moon` and `space_planets`, leaving only `space` and `marssurvive`. I basically just wanted the spacesuit and the need for oxygen. Planets, asteroids, etc. all come from the other mods.

After my changes, everything seems to work fine together so far. I haven't tested the space parts much, though. I haven't made it that far in my game yet. :-P (Reaching space is my end game content. The game is still pre-alpha as far as I'm concerned, until I can get through at least one full playthrough).
