World Exploration [Proposal]

Closed this issue · 6 comments

So I had an idea for a SG mod that focuses more around exploration. It would create additional dimensions with a variety of generation options (like an un-customizable MystCraft). The player would be able to discover SG addresses to other worlds by finding special books/items in dungeons that contain a random assortment of addresses.

I was actually about to start writing this mod when I discovered SGTech, so now I am wondering if this would fit with your vision for SGTech. It's a little more than can be completed via the API, so would you accept PRs that added this feature? If so, I'll clone and get started!

It will be awesome !!!

@LordFokas has said that he hasn't got any plans for adding dimensions in the foreseeable future. I think he might add some when it comes out of Alpha.

Yeah, I MIGHT add some dimensions in the long run, but dimensions and custom worldgen won't be a focus of this mod...

What you can do is create the separate mod with all the fancy worldgen you like, and I'll add to StargateTech2's API enough stuff so that you can reserve dimension addresses that fit your worlds.

I actually like the idea, but I don't have enough man-power in the mod to integrate it and keep it updated, so for now we'll do this as 2 mods (if you still want to code it) and later on we'll see how that goes. Keep me posted :D

All right! I'll get started then!

@LordFokas Do you have plans for a DHD? Should I PR one or add it via my mod?

Here: #28
Since the DHD should be part of this mod, feel free to implement and PR one. Just keep in mind it must have decent code quality and not break anything, or it won't be shipped with the mod.
