Slabs are placed horizontal instead of vertical, even if they are
placed on a wall.
Slabs are rotated automatically if they are placed to another slab,
no matter which material.
Slabs are placed at the lower position if the placer points into
the lower half of the pointed node and to the upper position if
pointed to the upper half.
Stairs are placed normal if the placer points to the lower half of
the pointed node and rotated upside down if pointed to the upper half.
Combine slabs if identical based on orientations using a simple lookup
table if the nodes are identical.
Otherwise relies on place_node() to place the node, which properly
handles rotation compared to adjacent nodes already, and can orient
based on look_dir as well.
Initial slabs placed are oriented based on (1) the orientation of
the pointed "face" (assumes nodes are cubic, of course), and uses
the player look direction to orient the node n/e/w/s if the slab
is horizontal or upside-down. If placed against a vertical face,
the slab is placed against the face without rotation around the axis
perpendicular to that vertical face. This allows upside down placement
and vertical placement without screwdriver.
If a slab is placed on top of an upside down slab, or below a normally
placed slab, the rotation is inverted so that no "floating" slab
is created.
Largely based on kilbith's #807 PR. Slab combining and place_node()
usage by sofar.
Since this relies entirely on `on_place` mechanics, this fails to
combine slabs into a plain node if the space *above* is occupied.
This is unavoidable due to the fact that on_place() happens after
the checks required to see if pointed_thing.above is empty or not.
Make the softer woods, pine and aspen, 'flammable = 3'.
Correct inconsistent flammability of wood and stairs in relation
to all other solid wood nodes in MTGame.
Make the the softer woods, pine and aspen, 'choppy = 3'.
Allow water to turn cobble slab and stairs to turn into mossy versions.
There is no crafting recipe for mossy stairs and mossy slabs, the
stair/slab API has been modified to allow for a recipeitem that
is `nil`, which will omit adding a crafting recipe for these two
items. The API documentation is updated.
The slabs and stairs will turn mossy when water is adjacent, just like
cobblestone. You can either farm mossy versions by placing them in
water for a while, then collecting them, or run water over your craft.
Spread ABM intervals evenly across 1 to 16 seconds
16s ensures no nodes are missed when player walks past
Adjust chance values to compensate, for identical action rates
Combine lavacooling ABMs into one, return to chance = 1
Grass growth: add 'neighbors = "air"' to avoid
processing the thousands of underground dirt nodes
Grass death: Reduce action rate to that of grass growth
Fire: Use chance = 1 for flame extinguishing
and flame removal when mod is disabled
Organizing these in groups will allow mods to do several things
easier:
- create craft recipes using them as ingredients
- manipulate map nodes based on group properties
There are quite a few slab and stair blocks already, so automatically
add these groups at registration time for all of those. Since most
mods I've seen use the registration code in this submod, they will
also benefit.
Adds a birch-like tree to the default_game. Aspen was chosen on
purpose instead of birch, as several birch tree mods already exist
and choosing a different name avoids any conflicts.
Schematics were made for both normal and sapling version, assuring
saplings will not be able to grief. The shape of the Aspen is "fanning
out at the top" and provides an easy tree to walk under, but still a
somewhat thick cover. The Aspen trunk is 4 to 6 blocks tall, with up
to three layers of leaves on top, making it slightly taller than an
Apple tree, but shorter than a Pine tree, which provides a good blend.
Textures were painted from scratch, except tree_top and _wood
variants, which are color modified versions of the pine_wood
variants. Appropriate licenses have been chosen for the new textures.
The leaf texture is light enough to contrast other trees, but dark
enough to offset against our light default grass color. The leaves
are drawn in the typical minetest default fashion with plenty of
transparancy, but enough definition to suggest that you're seeing
something that looks like leaves. The placement of leaves in the
schematic also suggests the top of the tree is sparse and you can
see the sky through the leaves.
Sapling texture is both traditional and different, with lush green
leaves and a well-defined stem, but slightly stick-like and skinny,
as these plants tend to grow up first, then out.
Add fallen Aspen logs. We make these logs a minimum of 2 blocks long,
and up to 3. This allows us to make these logs a place where both
red and brown mushrooms can be found, to these may be attractive to
players. However, the spawn rate for these has been reduced a lot
compared to the other logs, to account for the scarcity of Aspen.
Add stairs, slabs for these wood types as well.
Mapgen will place these trees in deciduous forests only, but in
a way that the biome is a range between entirely Apple trees, and
mostly entirely Aspen trees, with a bias to Apple trees. To make
fallen logs somewhat correlated with trees, we modify the planting
of Apple trees and logs to use perlin noise and not fill ratio,
otherwise you'd always end up with Apple logs in Aspen tree areas,
which would be suspicious. There still is a bit of a mix.
