Use different node for the rocks #166

Open MarkuBu opened 6 years ago

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

currently rocks use default:stone, which means that it can be replaced by ores. That can be confusing.

I suggest to replace default:stone with e.g. granite.

I will also make a lua table for the rocks. This gives the ability to add rocks with new stone types without adding more an more schematics and with the random function we have more variations

D00Med commented 6 years ago

I thought that was a cool accident :/

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

It confuses me when a rock consists of two type of stone or contains coal or iron and it is inconsistent if normal rocks can have such variations and desert rocks can't

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

just to show you what I mean. I'm experimenting with some other ore types. This ore will replace each rock with the ore. I use meselamp for debugging

@MarkuBu maybe we can use the tileble textures for the rocks?

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

I don't know how they are working

tobyplowy commented 6 years ago

@MarkuBu Can you find out?

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

I want to focus on the projects I'm working on

tobyplowy commented 6 years ago

@MarkuBu Alright

D00Med commented 6 years ago

@MarkuBu isn't it more realistic if the rocks match the stone in the area?

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

Maybe, but then we should make a node with the same texture as stone and that drops default:stone when digged

D00Med commented 6 years ago

That's not what I meant. Like if you look at the loose rocks in a place, they often match the stone in the ground. Although they do move around quite a bit...

D00Med commented 6 years ago

So if you keep the ores it's kind of more realistic

MarkuBu commented 6 years ago

This is what I mean. The rock on the right has dirt and limestone, the rock on the right has coal. I never saw a rock that is made of two or more materials. And I never saw so many coal above the ground.

I didn't say that we shouldn't have different types of rocks. What I mean was, that we should prevent that rocks can have different materials or even ores.

Accidentally closed

tobyplowy commented 6 years ago

@MarkuBu I thought you were talking about the cliff side :/

But I agree with you it looks a bit bad

tobyplowy commented 6 years ago

this was confusing me XD
