##### LazyJ's Fork of Splizard's "Snow" Mod
|
||||
|
||||
This version of 'Snow' is based off of Splizard's 2013_12_25 release.
|
||||
|
||||
I started out making a couple tweaks here-and-there and then it just
|
||||
progressed into something more complex. Since then several things have been
|
||||
fixed and a few others added.
|
||||
|
||||
There is still more to do.
|
||||
|
||||
What follows below is a partial and very rough draft of the README.txt file's
|
||||
contents. I still have to get my scattered notes sorted to make a better
|
||||
documentation. If things get too wordy, I'll try splitting them off
|
||||
into seperate files and see if that makes things easier to consume and maintain.
|
||||
At LinuxGaming.us, we have been using the Snow mod in our Minetest server for
|
||||
a year now. I've been tweaking and patching things here-and-there and had a
|
||||
few ideas. The little here-and-there things progressed into bigger and more
|
||||
complex changes. Maybe other folks will enjoy these fixes, changes,
|
||||
and additions.

List of Changes
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
INIT.LUA
|
||||
* Moved contents to separate lua files
|
||||
* Checks for "MoreBlocks" mod
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### MapGen
|
||||
|
||||
I did *not* fix Snow's mapgen issue with "PlantLife" based mods. That is
|
||||
far beyond my current skill level.
|
||||
|
||||
What little changes I did make were to switch-out Snow nodes that Minetest
|
||||
now has as defaults (dirt_with_snow, snow, ice). My thoughts being that
|
||||
texture packs and other mods that use these nodes are more likely
|
||||
to support default nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
I also added a line above and below in the mapgen.lua indicating where to
|
||||
put the comment symbols to comment-out/disable Snow's mapgen. "PlantLife" based
|
||||
mods will not produce if Snow's mapgen is active.
|
||||
*Snow's mapgen is active by default.*
|
||||
I did not disable it, merely indicated were the comment symbols
|
||||
are to be placed.
|
||||
|
||||
To compensate for the loss of snow resources when Snow's mapgen is disabled,
|
||||
I created crafting recipes that allows players to craft more snow, ice,
|
||||
and moss. This not only encourages snow builds, but also allows the
|
||||
players to create snow biomes where they want and whatever size
|
||||
they are willing to make them.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### Fixed
|
||||
* Pine saplings are now replaced with tree trunks when the tree grows.
|
||||
* Snowballs no longer pass through solid objects. Griefers can no
|
||||
longer flood the interiors of builds by throwing snowballs through the
|
||||
walls hoping to either leave a snowy mess inside or that a heat source
|
||||
would melt the snow and flood the interior.
|
||||
* Snowballs no longer destroy nodes when thrown at the sides.
|
||||
* Falling snow no longer destroys nodes (same problem snowballs had).
|
||||
* Snow bricks now, instead of disappearing like before, melt
|
||||
into water sources.
|
||||
* Christmas tree saplings once again will drop when pine needles
|
||||
are harvested.
|
||||
* Dirt_with_snow changes to dirt when a solid, non-light permeating
|
||||
(sunlight_propagates) block is set on top of it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
FALLING_SNOW.LUA
|
||||
* Falling snow would destroy nodes it deposited snow on. I figured out
|
||||
that if I switched the 'snow.place' with 'minetest.place_node' and
|
||||
increased the y position by 2, then the nodes were nolonger destroyed and
|
||||
the snow would start to pile up.
|
||||
##### Changed
|
||||
* All snow and ice stuff (including the stairs, slabs, panels, and
|
||||
microblocks) will freeze dirt and dirt_with_grass into dirt_with_snow.
|
||||
* All snow and most ice stuff will freeze water into ice, including
|
||||
the stairs, slabs, panels, and microblocks. The exception is the
|
||||
full-sized ice blocks will not freeze water into ice.
|
||||
* Snow brick texture reworked and based off of the default stone brick
|
||||
texture (and less purple in the grout).
|
||||
* Ice stuff is now semi-transparent.
|
||||
* Christmas trees now have blinking lights that give off a
|
||||
low-level of light.
|
||||
* Christmas tree stars now give off high-level of light and the
|
||||
light can be punched on or off.
|
||||
* Combined default snow and snowballs. Now snow can be
|
||||
thrown (left-click) or placed (right-click).
|
||||
* Snow stuff now has "snow" sounds instead of "grass" sounds.
|
||||
* Melting - Full-sized snow blocks, snow brick, snow cobble, and
|
||||
ice will melt into water sources (big, permanent mess or portable
|
||||
water method if buckets are disabled on your server). Snow (snowballs),
|
||||
snow stuff and ice basic stairs and slabs, snow stuff and ice
|
||||
circular-saw-made stuff will melt into a water source for 2 seconds,
|
||||
switch to flowing water, and then the water dries-up
|
||||
(small, temporary mess).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
MAPGEN.LUA
|
||||
* Replaced snow:snow with default:snow and snow:snow_block
|
||||
with default:snowblock.
|
||||
##### Added
|
||||
* New block-type: "Snow Cobble". Just like regular cobble and stone,
|
||||
snow cobble comes from digging snow blocks.
|
||||
* All snow and ice blocks can be crafted into basic slabs and stairs.
|
||||
The default slabs stack into full-sized blocks.
|
||||
* Soft dependency on a recent release MoreBlocks so all snow and
|
||||
ice blocks are compatible with the circular saw. If you don't have
|
||||
MoreBlocks installed, Snow will ignore the code for those fancy blocks
|
||||
and use basic stairs and slabs instead.
|
||||
* All snow and ice stuff works with the screwdriver.
|
||||
* Crafting and recycling recipes for snow blocks, ice, and moss.
|
||||
* Snow bricks craft-recycle back into 4 snow blocks.
|
||||
* 2 snow blocks craft into 3 snow blocks. This is to make up
|
||||
for when the mapgen for snow biomes is disabled.
|
||||
* 2 snow cobble craft into 3 snow blocks.
|
||||
* 4 pine needles craft into 1 moss
|
||||
* Snow blocks, snow cobble, and snow bricks can be cooked in a furnace
|
||||
to make ice.
|
||||
* Snowballs can be thrown (left-click) to build up layers. After the
|
||||
eleventh layer, the bottom 9 layers change into a snow block. At a
|
||||
very close distance, throwing snowballs can be used as a technique to
|
||||
build-up gradual slopes. If you have lots and lots of snow balls, with
|
||||
rapid-fire throwing, you can, very briefly, "white-out" another player's
|
||||
view if your aim is good enough to hit them in the face.
|
||||
* Snowballs can be placed (right-click) but will not stack into
|
||||
multiple layers. Just one layer only. Placing snow is more reliable and
|
||||
accurate than throwing snow from a distance. By placing snow, players
|
||||
are able to create their own, personal, snow biomes.
|
||||
* Vertical clearance check for tree growth. The nine blocks above the
|
||||
spot where the sapling is placed must be free and clear of all
|
||||
obstructions or else the sapling will not be allowed to grow.
|
||||
Griefers could place the saplings in builds and when the tree grows it
|
||||
may not destroy nodes but it fills the available air space leaving a
|
||||
mess for the build's owner to clean-up. Now the trees will only grow
|
||||
inside if there is 9, free-and-clear spaces from floor to ceiling.
|
||||
* Aliases to help make WorldEdit and "give" commands easier:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SLED.LUA
|
||||
* The HUD message that displayed when a player sat on the sled would
|
||||
not go away after the player got off the sled. I spent hours on trial-and-error
|
||||
while reading the lua_api.txt and scrounging the Internet for a
|
||||
needle-in-the-haystack solution as to why the hud_remove wasn't working.
|
||||
Turns out Splizard's code was mostly correct, just assembled in the wrong order.
|
||||
|
||||
The key to the solution was found in the code of leetelate's scuba mod:
|
||||
http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7175
|
||||
|
||||
* Changed the wording of the HUD message for clarity.
|
||||
"default_snow" = "default:snow"
|
||||
"snowball" = "default:snow"
|
||||
"snowballs" = "default:snow"

|

"snowydirt" = "default:dirt_with_snow"
|
||||
"snowblocks" = "default:snowblock"

"snowbrick" = "snow:snow_brick"
|

"bricksnow" = "snow:snow_brick"

"cobblesnow" = "snow:snow_cobble"
