Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is a mod for MineTest. It provides teleportation pads, called
|
|
"beacons". Unlike other teleportation mods, no menus or GUIs are used;
|
|
you set the destination with a simple "key" item. There is no
|
|
tooltip for the destination either, so signs are recommended.
|
|
|
|
Another difference is the limited default range of the beacons.
|
|
To increase the range, you need to place "extenders" around the beacon.
|
|
The extenders come in different colors, allowing the extenders to
|
|
form a pretty pattern; hence the name "telemosaic".
|
|
|
|
Current behavior
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Beacons are created with 2 diamonds, 3 obsidian blocks, and a wooden
|
|
door: first row diamond, door, diamond; second row the obsidian blocks.
|
|
|
|
Right-clicking a beacon with a default mese crystal fragment remembers
|
|
the position in the fragment, which turns into a telemosaic key.
|
|
Right-clicking a second beacon with the key sets up a teleportation
|
|
route from the second beacon to the first beacon. To set up a return
|
|
path, right-click the second beacon with the fragment, and the first
|
|
beacon with the resulting key again.
|
|
|
|
The beacons do not need to be strictly paired this way: rings or
|
|
star-shaped networks are also possible. Each beacon has only a
|
|
single destination, but can itself be the destination of several
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
Beacons will check that their destination is sane: the destination
|
|
still needs to be a beacon, and the two nodes above it should be
|
|
clear for walking / standing in. If your Minetest version supports
|
|
it, the beacon will emerge the area prior to checking and teleporting.
|
|
Emerging is merely a convenience, though.
|
|
|
|
Beacons have a maximum range of 20 nodes. If the destination is
|
|
too far away, the beacon will turn red and will not function.
|
|
To extend the range for a beacon, place "extenders" next to it,
|
|
within a 7x7 horizontal square centered on the beacon.
|
|
|
|
Extenders come in three tiers: tier 1 extends all affected beacons
|
|
by 5 nodes, tier 2 by 20 nodes, and tier 3 by 80 nodes. Placing
|
|
or digging extenders will update affected beacons.
|
|
|
|
Tier 1 extenders are crafted by placing an obsidian block, a wooden
|
|
door, and another obsidian block in a horizontal row. Tier 2 extenders
|
|
are crafted with an obsidian block in the middle, surrounded by a cross
|
|
of four tier 1 extenders. Tier 3 extenders are crafted with an obsidian
|
|
block surrounded by four tier 2 extenders.
|
|
|
|
Extenders can be colored with any of the dyes found in the dye mod.
|
|
Colored extenders work just like regular extenders, both for
|
|
teleporting and for recipes. To "uncolor" an extender, dye it grey.
|
|
|
|
Future plans

|
------------
|
|
|
|
* Particle and sound effects
|
|
* Protected beacons (will not teleport if protected)
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
* default
|
|
* doors
|
|
* dye (optional)

Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Unzip the archive, rename the folder to to `bewarethedark` and
|
|
place it in minetest/mods/
|
|
|
|
( Linux: If you have a linux system-wide installation place
|
|
it in ~/.minetest/mods/. )
|
|
|
|
( If you only want this to be used in a single world, place
|
|
the folder in worldmods/ in your worlddirectory. )
