WIP Block Tile Additions

[Skaldarnar]

Okies, let me shorty explain the "magic scripts" (actually, they are pretty awkward ).

To keep it very simple, you start with downloading the source files as ZIP folder from GitHub - here's a direct link. In general, you can find a "Download ZIP" button on the repository page on the right side. Once the download is finished, extract the ZIP file wherever you want - preferably a location where you can find them later on

Unfortunately I cannot upload the script files as *.bat, so I enclosed them as simple text files. In order to get the scripts to work as intended, save the text files within the Terasology folder (right beside "gradlew.bat"). Change the file extension from *.txt to *.bat. Then you should be able to simply run the double-click.

./gradlew fetchModuleBlockPicker fetchModuleMinerals fetchModuleSoils
./gradlew clean compileJava

fetchSomeModules.bat - Looks as follows. It simply calls the gradle wrapper to fetch three modules (Minerals, Soils, and the BlockPicker).

gradlew.bat clean compileJava run

cleanAndRun.bat - cleans the working directory, compiles everything and starts the game via the gradle wrapper.

I guess I'm just a VERY SLOW learner when it comes to this kind of stuff

1) I got the Terasology-develop.zip ....downloaded it (it was automatic when I clicked on this link direct link)

2) unziped it to my desktop

3) downloaded ........ A) fetchSomeModules and B) cleanAndRun (from the attached files from your post)

4) Placed A&B in to terasology folder with the file extension changed from *.txt to *.bat.

5) clicked on the "JI terasology" thingy

6) Intellij started and run and brought the splash screen

a) told me I need to pick something about world gen ?????? but nothing was there to pick

7) Intellij was ...... Compilation completed successfully with 59 warnings in 2 min 4 sec

8) shut it down and started it up again and now I can't even get to the splash screen

That is indeed a lot of tiles - dang!

Yeah we need to get you set up so you can just send them to GitHub

Maybe sometime tomorrow catch me or @Skaldarnar to get you further set up in-game?

 

[metouto]

I have 288 tiles done but I see no benefit in posting any more tile pictures and taking up forum space I will see if I can finish up the tiles today and then see about getting them to GritHub some way

 

[Cervator]

We sorted out the issues - new blocks on GitHub, woo!

https://github.com/Terasology/Minerals/tree/master/assets/blockTiles/auto

Plan is to add the new numbered block variants in each their own dir under "auto" since there are so many. The non-numbered original stays where it is, paired with the actual block definition.

Sometime down the road we'll find a better way to connect a "series" of block variants, this way we stay organized in the meantime

@metouto should be able to take and post screenshots with the blocks in-game now, yay! Thank you again for all the blocks!

 

[metouto]

OK Cervator help me get back to working on Intellij and I was able to make new directories for all my new block tiles Now I will try to show you some pics to let you comment on them ......

YellowSandStone 1-5 Uraninite 1-5 Sulphur 1-5

Tunhsten 1-5 talc 1-5 Sylvite 1-5
Stibnite 1-5 Slate 1-5

This is the way they are set up bottom row (left to right) block1, block2, block3, block4, block5 and top row
(left to right) block5, block4, block3, block2, block1.

My Question ...... in the above pictures do you see anything that needs changing or is the group ok the way they are?


@Skaldarnar .... now that I can do the pics .... I realize that it is now as easy as you let on ..... and my admiring of how much you have put into help me has just double .... again thank you for you help
Skaldarnar

@Cervator .... don't try to sneak off I know I would not be able to do ANY of this without you helping me BIG TIME ..... again thank you for your help Cervator


If I have the time I will post more tonight

 

[metouto]

Another set of block tiles for your comments ......

Siltstone 1-5 Shale 1-5 Serpentine 1-5
Selenite 1-5 Schist 1-5 Satinspar 1-5
Samarskite 1-5 Rutile 1-5

This is the way they are set up bottom row (left to right) block1, block2, block3, block4, block5 and top row
(left to right) block5, block4, block3, block2, block1.

My Question (again is) ...... in the above pictures do you see anything that needs changing or is the group ok the way they are?

 

[Cervator]

• Wow Uraninite looks sweet!
• Talc seems like it has a bit of a horizontal brightening by the top/bottom edge across several blocks? Pretty minor
  
• Sylvite and Slate has some sharp-ish edges here and there
• Shale also looks really sweet! (the ones I'm not mentioning also look good!)
• Selenite has a few sharp-ish vertical edges where the blocks meet
• Nice work
• Bullets are great

 

[Skaldarnar]

I can just agree with @Cervator here: great job @metouto

There are some edges/brightness differences here and there, but that's just minor critique Keep on the nice work!

 

[metouto]

OK here are the block tiles we thought needed improvement ......

• this one is Talc 1-5
  
• this one is Sylvite 1-5 ( BTW in this one there was a "cup" like set of blocks in maybe the 3 tile .... that has been taken out .... but it was done after this pic was taken and I didn't retake the pic .... if you would like I can )
• this one is Slate 1-5
  
• last but not lest this one is 1-5

As before ...... if you think these are OK ......... then I will move on to my next bunch of tile ........ thank you for your time & comments (@Cervator ...... bullets are great ..... neat thing up a bit )

 

[manu3d]

Wow, guys, that is ALLOTA minerals! Cool!

 

[Cervator]

@metouto - perfect! Ship it!

 

[metouto]

• This one we call Rhyolite 1-5
• This one we call RedSandStone 1-5
• This one we call Realgar 1-5
• This one we call RawTin 1-5
• This one we call Pyrite
• This one we call Pyrolusite 1-5
• This one we call Puddingstone 1-5
• This one we call Pumice 1-5

 

[metouto]

• Orpiment 1-5
  
• OrangeSandStone 1-5
• Marcasite 1-5
• Orthoclase 1-5
  
• Now I will go fix some more block Tiles .......... picture me goneeeeeeeee

 

[Cervator]

Looking good

• Realgar looks to have a few sharp edges (mostly along the horizontal edges). I love the name, sounds like a mineral barbarians could really enjoy. Realgar the Barbarian - coming to a village near you!
• Pumice is sort of borderline - there is a lot of contrast to it, maybe smooth out the color changes between some of the harsh contrast spots?
• Orthoclase looks really neat!

 

[metouto]

1. Remake of Pumice 1-5
2. Remake of Realgar ( the Barbarian ) 1-5

Ok Cervator ..... here are the two tiles you were thinking needed fixes (& so did I) .... if these are fine then I will send the group to GritHub ...... if my adding & multiplying is correct ..... We have added 33 updated group tiles that equal 165 individualtiles tiles ......

 

[Skaldarnar]

Bring it to GitHub! They look great after the revision, and those two would have be the only ones I'd pointed out for review

I'm kind of relieved to see that we already reached "R"

 

[metouto]

I'm kind of relieved to see that we already reached "R"

But Skaldarnar ..... were're going from last tile to first tile (z-a) But we only have 85 sets of 5 left to go

But I will send to GritHub real soon ..... thanks for the OK

 

[Cervator]

Haha, he got you, @Skaldarnar !

Looks great!

 

[Skaldarnar]

Dang it
