Time Nick Message 19:35 TenPlus1 Hi folks 19:35 LoneWolfHT Hai 19:35 TenPlus1 hey Lonewolf :) 19:39 MTDiscord Hello 19:39 TenPlus1 hey wwar, how's the day ? 19:39 MTDiscord Was building myself in Xanadu 19:39 MTDiscord you? 19:39 TenPlus1 just finished work :) chilling with coffee 19:40 MTDiscord I installed dmobs to check it and maybe edit some stuffs 19:40 Krock VanessaE: no, I'm neither familiar with biome_lib nor do I know well how decorations work. I only have a overall rough knowledge 19:40 TenPlus1 wb sofar 19:41 VanessaE Krock: no worries. 19:41 Krock VanessaE: however perlin noises can exceed the 0 and 1 boundaries. I suggest clamping 19:41 MTDiscord Ten.. can you confirm that you let Kelena make the discord server for Xanadu? If you do so they will let us add it in the server list of MT discords 19:42 TenPlus1 yeah, players were given free reign with the discord server since they use it more :D 19:42 MTDiscord Ok thanks you :D 19:42 MTDiscord @GreenXenith 19:43 MTDiscord Coolio 19:43 TenPlus1 good to see some optimizations on the biome_lib vanessa :D 19:44 VanessaE :) 19:44 MTDiscord Ten.. did you make that asteroids mode? 19:45 TenPlus1 no, paramat did the original and it was added to by shara and ulukai and myself :D 19:45 MTDiscord ah 19:46 MTDiscord It says its by you in content db 19:46 TenPlus1 I added it to contentdb after the optimization to run on minetest 5.x 19:47 MTDiscord ah, so.. you cant check how he made floating biomes? 19:48 TenPlus1 it's all voxelmanip based, that I know :) 19:48 TenPlus1 it's a way to edit maps directly and add decoration using lua, which isnt as fast as the engine 19:49 MTDiscord ah, thats why its laggy a bit while exploring space? 19:50 TenPlus1 yup and caverealms also... eventually caverealms can be converted to the new underground biomes though but for now engine generated realms in the sky is limited to floatlands 19:51 MTDiscord never noticed lags in caverealms 19:54 MTDiscord so.. anyone is working in using something faster than lua? 19:54 VanessaE use luajit ;) 19:54 TenPlus1 we already use luajit with data clearning at end so we dont get OOM errors :) yay! 19:54 TenPlus1 it's been heavily optimized 19:54 MTDiscord luajit is fast enough? 19:55 TenPlus1 luajit is great and does give a good speed boost, if you use minetest in linux it's already installed :D 19:56 MTDiscord ah, great, will you convert biome mods to LuaJit then? 19:57 TenPlus1 any mods you have already use luajit if it's installed already :) 19:57 VanessaE yeah, it's completely automatic. 19:57 MTDiscord Ah thats interesting 19:57 VanessaE the only time you have to detect luajit is if you want to use something it provides that Minetest's normal Lua implementation does not, like FFI 19:58 VanessaE but normally, It Just Works™ 19:58 MTDiscord i see 19:58 MTDiscord Is there a mod that makes people able to make their own biomes? Like with mobs redo anyone can make a mob.. 19:58 VanessaE that's what biome_lib was originally for 19:59 VanessaE but now you can just do it with some mod API calls and let the engine handle it 19:59 VanessaE look in mtg/mods/default/mapgen.lua 19:59 MTDiscord alright will check, (i wont make a biome tho) 19:59 TenPlus1 yeah the engine has it's own commands for biome additions and decoration :D 19:59 VanessaE you'll see how it creates the standard biomes like taiga or rundra 19:59 VanessaE tundra* 19:59 MTDiscord Just want to know how those work 20:01 TenPlus1 wwar, this was added a while ago to add additional floating biomes: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4503 20:01 MTDiscord oh nice 20:02 MTDiscord So you'll make some floating biomes? 20:02 TenPlus1 that's an issue to add a feature to the mapgen to allow them 20:04 MTDiscord You planning to make that issue? 20:04 TenPlus1 it's already added, although quite old 20:04 MTDiscord oh, hope they will look into it 20:05 TenPlus1 it's a well saught after feature 20:06 MTDiscord That will make a use for the 31k Y lvls above ground 20:07 TenPlus1 yeah :) then we can have proper realms added through mapgen with their own skybox and gravity etc :D 20:08 MTDiscord yea, i'd like to see those 20:08 MTDiscord Huge improvement in MT 20:09 MTDiscord i think mt generates cooler biomes than mc 20:09 TenPlus1 we've seen many new improvements in the 5.x series :) setting player velocity and new formspec elements are a few 20:10 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/747163533212516474/834883769018089522/Screenshot_2021-04-22-23-11-30.png 20:10 MTDiscord MC doesnt generate cool stuffs like this 20:10 TenPlus1 wow, much protection :P 20:11 MTDiscord Will hide them after :þ 20:11 MTDiscord Building a huge me above that 20:13 TenPlus1 nice, will pop on server for a look around :D cya there 20:13 TenPlus1 by folks o///
