Time Nick Message 14:11 [MatrxMT] https://old.reddit.com/r/Minetest/comments/1nh2i3f/structure_problem/ 14:11 [MatrxMT] I wish it were easy to avoid the overlaps between decorations 14:11 [MatrxMT] Maybe if say, one could have multiple decorations use the same noise but different values will select the noise 14:12 [MatrxMT] if we reduce that to binary, then the noise map would be all 1s and 0s and one decoration would be on the 1s and the other on the 0s 14:13 [MatrxMT] obviously we often don't want them that close together, and they're often bigger than one node, so I'm imagining more like number bands in the range 0-1 14:14 [MatrxMT] Maybe I could hack something like that together with `offset` in the NoiseParams? 14:15 [MatrxMT] that seems like it would only make the "whites" in the noise wash out and not select a different "height on the height map".. if you follow 17:05 jonadab It would be kinda nice if the lua code for a particular game or mod could have logic like, if there isn't going to be a FooStructure or a BarStructure within three chunks, then the space is eligible (pending noise-related probability passes a check) for a BazStructure. 17:07 jonadab Among other things, that would require there to be a defined order in which different modules get a crack at generating their structures, and some way to define what "within N chunks" means for any given N, in the context of a given type of structure and a given location. 17:08 jonadab Which probably means structures would have to declare how large they can be, or provide a callback to determine it for a specific seed and location, or something. 17:10 jonadab It's not an unsolvable problem, but I don't know whether the benefit is worth it. Maybe for some games? Could all of this be done at the game level, without explicit support in the engine? 18:16 kaeza Greetings! 18:17 kaeza Is there any admin for DreamBuilder Survival (daconcepts.com:30001) here? 18:27 cheapie kaeza: Yes, did you need something? 18:32 kaeza cheapie: Hi! A small-ish request actually. I'd like my password to be reset. 18:33 kaeza It's been a while since I last connected, and I saw my house is still there, intact :D 18:33 cheapie OK, I saw you on VE-C recently and I see you're logged in here, so I'll take a look, one moment 18:33 cheapie (or maybe it was elsewhere I saw you, dunno, anyway one moment) 18:34 kaeza I connected recently as diemartin 18:35 Krock o/ kaeza 18:35 kaeza o/ Krock 18:36 kaeza how's it going? 18:36 Krock it's been what.. years? 18:36 cheapie That must've been what I saw 18:36 Krock going just fine, thanks. I hope the same goes for yoU? 18:36 cheapie Password has been reset, new password has been sent via PM 18:36 kaeza I was here in Libera in 2022 I think, but haven't played much 18:37 kaeza renewed my interest in Luanti from seeing what it's capable of doing now 18:37 kaeza and a wee bit of nostalgia :D 20:27 [MatrxMT] image buttons (maybe regular buttons?) can be clicked when out of view in scroll containers 20:28 [MatrxMT] but i don't want to make an issue right now because i don't really have time to make one
