Initial release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 About Travelpoints -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Description This mod is intended for Singleplayer usage. It allows the player to make Crystal Seeds that can be placed in a cave that you wish to fill in. The placed Crystal Seed will "expand", filling open space around it with Active Crystals which will expand further. These crystals will expand out until they consume all open space, until they reach a light source, until they expand too far from the player or until they reach sea level. When expansion stops for any of these reasons the crystals become inert. If you later tunnel through a filled in cavern, you will recognize it by the Inert Crystals, which when dug will drop default:obsidian_shard. If you need to remove Inert Crystals, you can make a Revoider that can be placed on an Inert Crystal where it will expand out decaying all connected Inert Crystals to air. 2.2 Intended Purpose After clearing a cavern of minerals, it may be useful to fill in the cave so you know it has been mined and it will no longer be visible when exploring in "no-clipping" mode. Most might do this with WorldEdit, but this mod fills only the confines of the given cavern and will not overwrite undug nodes. It may also add a fun or role play element. 2.3 Safety Measures Crystals expand in darkness, below sea level. Crystals become inert when they can expand no further, coming into contact with anything other than air. Crystals become inert within 3 to 5 nodes of a light source, such as a torch or lava. Like any other active node, such as a furnace, if the player is too far from the Active Crystals they will become inert. Under default conf settings the Crystals go inert around 40 nodes away from the player. You can either fill a cave in segments, or use no-clipping mode to follow the expanding crystals. To reverse the process create and place a Revoider that will decay connected Inert Crystals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Install Mod -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod was written with Minetest 0.4.10, but may work with builds as far back as 0.4.8 at least, as with future builds. Rename the extracted directory to "voidfill" and move it to the "mods" directory of your Minetest installation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Textures -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While this mod ships with 16x16 textures, higher resolution textures are available: 32x32 https://github.com/RacsoRhodes/voidfill-textures-32/archive/master.zip 64x64 https://github.com/RacsoRhodes/voidfill-textures-64/archive/master.zip 128x128 https://github.com/RacsoRhodes/voidfill-textures-128/archive/master.zip 256x256 https://github.com/RacsoRhodes/voidfill-textures-256/archive/master.zip 512x512 https://github.com/RacsoRhodes/voidfill-textures-512/archive/master.zip Install your chosen textures by moving or copying the images from the extracted zip file to the directory of your active Minetest texture pack. Example: If you were using "HDX 128", extract "voidfill-textures-128-master.zip" and move the image files within to the textures/HDX_128px directory in your Mintest installation directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Nodes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1 voidfill:seed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once placed under the correct conditions it will begin to "expand" by placing Active Crystals into adjacent spaces. When placed under light, above sea level, in water or lava the Crystal Seed will go inert. A Recipe OB default:obsidian 4 MC default:mese_crystal 2 DI default:diamond 2 ST default:stone 1 OB MC OB DI ST DI OB MC OB B Refund Crystal Seed can be converted to default:diamond x4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.2 voidfill:revoider ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once placed on an Inert Crystal it will begin to "expand" by replacing adjacent Inert Crystals with Revoiders. Each Revoider decays to air after attempting to expand one node from each of its six faces. A Recipe CS voidfill:seed OS default:obsidian_shard -- nothing -- OS -- OS CS OS -- OS -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.3 voidfill:active_crystal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Placed by Crystal Seed, and other Active Crystals. Each Crystal Seed goes inert after attempting to expand one node from each of its six faces. Light, depth, lack of room, and distance from player will also cause Active Crystals to go inert. When dug Active Crystals will drop default:obsidian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.4 voidfill:inert_crystal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When a Crystal Seed or Active Crystal finishes expanding or is haulted for another reason it will become an Inert Crystal. When dug Inert Crystals will drop default:obsidian_shard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- EOF --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
