Possibility to make the landscape flat ? #4

Hi, i really like your work. But it is possible to make the planets flat ? The concept with sphere is awesome, but when i build for example the Empire State Building, it looks awful....If the planets were flat, they should have a size about 64x64 minecraft like sized chunks.

Please add a option to do that, i would LOVE your game.

Id looked inside your code, but i can not understand him, im to bad in C++.(I can not understand your worldgen render and sphere codes)

I dream for a minecraft like game with "normal" flat worlds with Rockets and Multiplayer. Wouldnt it be awesome to travel with a rocket to ingame friends in a epic big Universe ? Or to make a research trip in the Universe to find "new" planets ?!? AWESOME !!! Or maybe a Space fight with friends? FREAK´IN AWESOME.

Sorry for my english, and i really can say, your project is just plain awesome (My dictionary showed me just plain awesome for "Supergeil" in German)

Thank you in Advance.Please please enhance your project !!!

Hi, Unfortunately, we do not plan to update the project anytime soon. We are the three of us overbooked with our studies and personal projects. Actually Spacecraft is not even a playable game. It's more like a huge proof of concept.

Other than that I don't understand what you mean by flat planets. Do you mean Block planets instead of spheres? The interesting thing about Spacecraft is that planets looks like spheres but in reality it's just a deformed cube. Also a 64x64 sized planet is just ridiculous in comparison to the current size of the planets which are actual size. I'm sure there are Minecraft mods that already do what you want :smile:

Yes i mean Block planets instead of spheres.Sorry for my English. There aren´t any mods which makes the minecraft world as Universe like as your project do.

You would be the first, providing the community, a minecraft Universe....FREAKIN AWESOME !!! Could you provide me a code please how i could have Block planets instead of spheres ? This would be just plain awesome !

I would be happy if i could build my buildings on a Block planet, i would love it ! (I know im a nerd, but it would be awesome to build the Empire State Building in 1:1 in a Voxel Engine =))

How high is the Z Block limit ? If it is limited, how can i change it to be higher ?

Thank you in Advance, AWESOME.

Whatever. You can change the geometry of the planets by looking at the files planet.cpp, and the planet shaders located under the shader/plateface directory. The z block limit was either 128 or 256, I believe it was the second one, I'm not sure but you can easily find it in the code. Changing it may lead to problems but you shouldn't need it. You can always dig to simulate a higher z limit.
