Minecraft: Blockland Edition

Sounds awesome.

I've got ore seeding in and clusters are going in once I work out the subtle syntax error in the following function:

Code: [Select]

function orecluster(%brick)
{
echo("Ore gem cluster made");
initContainerBoxSearch(%brick.getWorldBoxCenter(), 10, $typeMasks::fxDTSBrickObjectType);
while(isObject(%orebrick = containerSearchNext())){
if(%brick.colorID > 0 && %brick.getcolorID < 5 && getRandom(1,2) == 1){%orebrick.setColor(%brick.colorID); echo("Ore cluster made");}
if(%brick.colorID > 4 && %brick.getcolorID < 9 && getRandom(1,3) == 1){%orebrick.setColor(%brick.colorID); echo("Gem cluster made");}
}
}I packaged killBrick to allow cave-ins to happen, this also resulted in bricks not being able to be killed without using the brick destruction tool I had to quickly slap together. I'll make a thread for it once it becomes at all playable.

More importantly, keep up the good work Truce.

I was going to PM you until I found I can't send PM's any more.

I can't either 

-code-

More importantly, keep up the good work Truce.

Code: [Select]

initContainerBoxSearch(%brick.getWorldBoxCenter(), 10, $typeMasks::fxDTSBrickObjectType);
Are you allowed to just put 10? I always used "10 10 10".

Code: [Select]

%brick.getcolorID
It's a method, not a field.

Code: [Select]

getRandom(1,2)
getRandom usually freaks out when put into a switch statement, so I'm not sure if it's the same with an if test. You might want to test that out a little.

Also, thanks.

Nix told me to replace %brick.colorID with %brick.getColorID ):
Blarg, this has all the core features I want in Dwarf Fortress Gamemode, such as collapsing sand, though I was more wanting to have trees collapse if they were unsupported and make explosions, killing all the miners in one freak accident.

To clarify:

%brick.colorID is the field,
%brick.getColorID() is the method.

[Deathwish]

Blarg, it's not actually changing any bricks in the containersearch.

Nice job on this Truce.
I <3 this mod.

[Truce]

Added a list of the features I've put so far into v0.6; still going to put a couple more before I call that version finished.

Use it next time.
Or a dump() looks much prettier

yay troos. i should probably finish that map/build i was working on for this.

[Truce]

Just added lava in. It's pretty much the same thing as water, but aside from being red, there are a few technical differences:

- Lava flows 2x slower than water (1000 ms compared to 500 ms)
- When lava collides with water (or vice versa), they form stone
- Sponges can't stop lava, but lava is only found on bottom level

I also fixed a small little bug with flowing water that probably didn't affect gameplay currently but might in the long run.

[Truce]

Double post.

Small bugfixes:
- Fixed admins being able to place water bricks within a sponge radius in admin mode.
- Admins could still place lava when they turned admin mode off; this was a quick fix.
- Fixed water not flowing into sponges that're in the process of being killBrick'd.

Question for people who have played:
How do you think I should make the landscape generator work? Keep in mind that I can't use too may bricks, or it'll take awhile for people to ghost and even lag some of the lower-end computers. I'm just looking for your input on how big the caves should be, how much lava/water should be there by default, etc.

:oooo

For landscapes:

Emulate the "infinite mining" trick, set up an array with brick data.

$Mine_brick[%x,%y,%z]="sand";

etc.

When they mine, the bricks below are revealed, thus allowing for a large landscape with minimal initial brick usage.

[Kalphiter]

$Mine_brick[%x,%y,%z]="sand";

Hm, I never considered using that for this. It would be interesting though: there's a chance they'll find a "cave", which will just make a few of the newly-created bricks get mined instantly, and some of those mined instantly as well, creating a large air-pocket-esque space.

[rkynick]

Also truce, how about that there project you were working on?

Talk to meh ):
