Archived Missing Building Blocks (Slopes)

[Skaldarnar]

I discovered that there are some "missing" blocks in the slope family, such as tips, ledges, some corner, ...
Here's a list of the missing shapes, anybody interested in helping out is welcome But I think it won't take too long to put them together in Blender...

[x] upperHalfSlopeCorner
[x] halfSlopeTip/upperHalfSlopeTip
[x] halfSlopeLedge/upperHalfSlopeLege

[x] slopeTip
[x] slopeLedge

[x] UpperSteepSlope
[x] steepSlopeCorner/upperSteepSloperCorner
[x] steepSlopeLedge
[x] steepSlopeTip

[x] update texture coords for existing corner shapes

Yeah, progess Since the shapes are quite easy I'm thinking of making a proper roof module.... (roof tiles?).

[x] tip shapes done!

On that note, I was thinking of writing a "carpentry" mod, that would allow you to "shave-off" pieces off of blocks with the component. Similar to what is possible in TerrafirmaCraft. Shouldn't be too difficult and can allow "free-form" shaping of for example wood plank blocks.

But this idea suffers from the following syndrome:
"So many ideas, so little time..."

Actually there should be some notes about this all over the forum/github. I've got this concept sheet on my hard drive, but cannot remember whe re I posted it before

Second step: all ledges are done! Last step will be to add corners and update the uv maps of existing corner stones.

Finished! Here's the PR: https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/pull/1001

I will think about a "StructuralResources" module for slopes, pillars and stuff, including some new textures as well.
