00:20 swift110    hey all
00:20 df458       hello
00:20 swift110    how r u df458
00:20 df458       Pretty good
00:21 df458       I think I have time to actually work on my mod tonight :)
00:22 swift110    oh nice what will it be
00:22 df458       Might sounds weird, but I'm making a map mod
00:28 rubenwardy  yay
00:36 swift110    oh whats that
00:36 swift110    I want to get into minetest more as its beeen a long time since I have played it
00:37 df458       Well, it's a mod that (ideally) will let you craft upgrade-able maps that fill in as you explore
00:37 df458       And then eventually, can be combined into an upgrade for your character that gives you a larger scrollable map, in the style of open-world games
00:39 df458       The idea was that right now, both the means and reasons to explore in MTG are kinda limited... so I figured if I added something like maps, it would be fun to map out the area around your house and the maps would help getting around too
00:40 df458       One of my secondary goals is to find a way to make exploration fit into map-making, I think it would be cool to make people use the maps to find biomes that in turn provide resources to upgrade the maps by adding more size/details
01:58 swift110    thats cool df458
02:04 df458       I've actually got the basic mechanics working, I can craft maps and fill them in by exploring. There's plenty more to add, but I think my next step will be to clean up the code, make the test stuff more resilient and less hardcoded
02:04 swift110    nice
02:04 swift110    i might get on minetest once i get home and eat
02:04 df458       At that point it will hopefully be mode/game-agnostic, which is one of my other goals. I don't want to support only MTG in the end
02:04 kurtzmusch  huum, pretty sure a map mod already exist...
02:05 df458       It might. I couldn't find one from a brief search so I decided to make my own
02:05 kurtzmusch  have you checked mineclone and pixture/repixture?
02:06 kurtzmusch  i *think* those have maps
02:07 df458       Not sure about mineclone, but repixture only has a minimap afaik
02:07 df458       that's not what I'm making
02:10 df458       Looks like the Mineclone 2 map is also only a minimap, unless there's an update that I'm missing
02:52 Wuzzy       yes
