Added support for custom trees

[CivcraftBot]

Can one of the admins verify this patch? Type 'ok to test' to test.

This is pretty awesome. Multiple things though:

Could you hide the MultiBlockStructure behind an interface, so we could easily add support for other formats (mainly .schematic) later on?

Also could you change the methods to load and check for space so you can give them a list of acceptable blocks/materials (like leaves in vanilla) that wont be overwritten or are accepable space additionally to air?

Thanks for making this

[ProgrammerDan]

Cool. Can you provide some examples of MBT's? How can they be controlled in the config (selectivity of species, type, binding to a configuration of saplings, etc.)?

[TealNerd]

@ProgrammerDan im making it a little better so you'll specify which trees are overriden in the config. and in the future maybe support for custom sapling arrangements (although that would require a bunch more work and changes and stuff)

[Maxopoly]

Ok looks cool, I'd say we merge it. Do you want to make actual functionality with it (tying it to lored saplings or whatever) yourself?

[TealNerd]

i can add that pretty easily if you want

edit: wait actually might be kind of difficult since blocks dont store lore when placed

[Maxopoly]

Yeah that would be nice. Honestly I dont even know yet how we want that whole thing to work, whether those custom trees should drop custom sapling or whether any sapling dropped should have a chance to be a custom sapling or whether any normal tree may grow into a custom tree or whether custom trees only grow from custom saplings from factories. etc.

You' re pretty much free to do whatever you want with that.

[ProgrammerDan]

I'd recommend just leaving it up to the config. Add an indication to the growth config for each major tree type of which custom trees could spawn from it; and add a new section that specifies a custom tree type and what lore on a sapling will "initiate" its growth.

[TealNerd]

do we have something in civmodcore to store lore on blocks or do i need to add that to rb?

[ProgrammerDan]

In my head at least I figured you could just capture the lore on blockplace, and alter the type of entry in the biome growth table as a form of storage.

[TealNerd]

oh yeah that could work

[Crushtoe]

Would it return the sapling with lore if you broke it again?

[Maxopoly]

It wouldn't, but we could make it so that it does.

[ProgrammerDan]

@TealNerd prettymuch as soon as those config / placement options are done I think this is a great merge. Thanks!

[ProgrammerDan]

Oh last thing if you haven't already please rebase against v1.9 branch
