DScraft

Official topic on GBAtemp

Official website

From the official website: DScraft is a DS homebrew adaptation of the popular game Minecraft. At the moment this is a rather complete adptation of "creative mode" (or minecraft Classic), which means there is only exploration and creation in this version.

There is hope for survival mode and multiplayer. These are tricky add-ons so be patient.

Links

We have also a DSCraft Plugin icon for DSTwo.

Place both DScraft.nds and the content of the plugin in SD:\_dstwoplug\ folder

Known bugs

Version	Bug description	Tested on, by	Status
200811	Title screen: On game launch there are garbages lines on bottom screen until the title screen appear. Same thing happens when exiting the game to title screen when hitting Start button.	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Known
200811	Title screen: Both screens have an odd refresh rate, it looks like it's blinking continuously with different brightness.	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Fixed (220811)
200811	Title screen: On texture pack selection screen, when using the scroll bar the top and bottom screen are merged/swapped (like 10 lines at the top of each screen).	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Fixed (220811)
200811	Title screen: When loading a texture pack, either the bottom screen is printed in the top screen, either the top printed in the bottom screen.	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Known
200811	in inventory: dragging a bloc to bottom line works fine (it swap textures correctly), but moving a block to another place holder is buggy. First time it swap, second time if you want to swap the newly moved block again back to it's place then it doesn't work, it's using the old block not the new one, and place two texture in the same place. always grab the bottomless texture. How to reproduce Try with the water bucket to see easily the problem, as it doesn't match the bottom pattern. 1 - swap water to inventory (work) 2 - swap water (in inventory) with adjacent block (work) 3 - re-move the water back to its old adjacent place : both are in the same place. (The water is really not invisible in the empty case, as you can't grab the empty case) 4 - try re-swapping the water to the empty place : it grabs the lower sprite instead 5- swap water back to usable panel at the bottom : two item again. if you select it, it's placing lower sprite block on the map.	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Fixed (230811)
200811	In inventory: the square mark sometime is not centered on block area, and doesn't always follow the selected block. it reset only when selecting a block in the bottom line.	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Known
200811	In game: In fly mode, left/right acts like touchscreen, you can't strafe anymore.	SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Known
200811	In game: it's hard to move out of water. the player stay at the level of the last bloc, not at the top of it.	report by CannonFoddr link, tested on SuperCard DSTwo - 3DS - Nitro FS, by Cyan	Fixed (220811)
200811	In game: When walking along the edge of the map the blocks are not loaded. You need to move a little back and the map will load new blocks near your position.	Sir_Voe link	Fixed (230811)
200811	There's a weird glitch where sometimes when you use the bucket it creates what I think is cobblestone instead of water.	Machomuu link	Unable to reproduce
200811	It will freeze when loading to the planety.pack, and Freeze when pressing select : GURU MEDITATION ERROR, pc: 02010ECC addr:000340d0	Naito-Tanuki link	New
200811	Calibration errors on 3DS (using DSTWO). Can be fixed by holding 'Start' when the FlashCart begins to load. (Small Screens)	Naito-Tanuki	Not a bug
200811	Guru Meditation Error: pc-01000200 addr-01000200	Naito-Tanuki (Tested with 3DS DSTWO using FAT version)	New
200811	pc: 020266d4 addr: 1b02310b After openning the ds (exiting sleep mode)	Dicamarques(Tested with 3DS Ak2i using Nitro version)	New
200811	(this one it actually is a good bug XP) when you walk diagonally (pressing up and right at the same time) yo GUI for the map generator There is a graphical user interface for the command-line map generator by smealum. called: DScraft Map Generator GUI it supports creating map generation, naming the maps and other options that are related to the GUI and the command-line program by smealum. you can download the latest version here: DScraft Map Generator GUI - As you guys can clearly see, mapGen.exe features some generic malware: [3] - For those who cannot get this to run, or do not wish to use it - you need to run 'mapGen.bat' that's included in the DSCraft download file (inside the 'mapgen.rar' file) - If you want a particular sized map, you need to edit 'mapGen.bat' (use Notepad or similar) & change the number after the line 'mapGen.exe' e.g. 'mapGen.exe 64' The number you choose is 1/4 of the size of map you want - so a '32' will produce a 128 x 128 map (32 x 4 = 128) The file produces will always be called 'testmap.map' Requests and suggestions Game system Add map switching portal(maybe add a portal block too) to let player switch to a designated map, because there is hard to create a infinity map in NDS, switching map maybe a good choice~ Use tools to destory block, not tap on"CREATE/DESTORY"button to change between two action. Let player easily to notice that when they pressed "L" or "R" button, will do which action. Multiplayer mode support(This function will need all player have a same map, just sharing all changes of players, mobs, items, and blocks. When the server host pressed the save button, all players will run the save function at the same time.) Save the player position on save/load. (maybe a header in the map file). - Done in v230811. Statistics (Game played, blocks placed/destroyed, etc...) - not essential, but why not... Use another config file along with the terrain.png to define animation sequences. Each line = 1 sequence. It could be texture's cell's start-cell's end, or real cell's sequences to animate in random order, not always loop: 1-2-4-5-4-5-4-5-2-loop or ping-pong) Block destroy time & animation (like in Minecraft) - pointless for classic Mod system! (with editable files in folders, for example?)( Allow for one to be able to mod the game I'm guessing. -DF777) - not sure what you mean Background music and a music option in the menu so we can change background music or turn it off. - music will come, in time Darker caves. - done in 310811 Ability to take advantage of RAM packs (Such as the Opera RAM pack or EZ Flash 3 n 1.) Rumble Pak support. Removing all the malware from the binaries there is no malware as it is Basic mobs (Creatures) such as... Pig, Cow, Chicken and hostile mobs (Monsters) such as... Zombie, Skeleton. Only having monsters in survival. Sprint (Dpad up double press) Customizable Controls (like press the button you want for left, right, .etc) User interface when we place a block of water it spreads, make it possible so that i can remove the water placing a block where i placed the water source. (like the sponge effect, but with any block type by removing water spawn block. eg. cutting waterfall flow) Add a blueish type of screen when under water - done in 310811 Minimap - Can't do, reason : Not enough memory At least in DS mode. (not really but yeah, probably won't do a minimap) Show player's coordinate (x;y;z, with x=north-south, y=west-east, z=floor-sky) Show the map information (or make a menu when pressing Start with optWions to return to game/exit and show the current map filename/size.) please add a custom controls (as in pc) Ability to increase the map size (or decrease too?) while in game. If you need more place you can't export your constructions to a bigger one. Game rendering Everything Minecraft is square, including the sun, so why did you make it a circle in DScraft?! - Because that's the sun from eldpack, DScraft's default texture pack. Could you make the clouds 3-dimensional (1 block high) like in Minecraft. - Nope, polygons are precious, I can't waste them on clouds. Plus, clouds are flat in Minecraft if you run it on "fast" mode (which I do :P) Different colored target depending on the creation/deletion mode. - good idea Be able to shorten rendering distance and replace with constant fog in the distance. So that blocks don't appear and disappear at random when walking or looking around (more solid/less buggy viewing). have the rom increase it ability based on what system its on (can tell if its on DS/DSi/3DS and be able to output graphics as best for that system) - just wondering its its possible A way of renaming deleting moving etc... Your worlds in DSCRAFT Torches align to the wall Game mechanics Enable/disable water spreading limit. - the limit is there for a reason Crafting. Grow-able trees. Items & blocks Chest Sign Sponge, to absorb all connected water. Tools Ride-able minecarts - probably not going to happen Lava Flowers. Remove shadow from glass. Redstone - not going to happen "Simple" Redstone such as pressure plates for doors or traps in survival mode (nothing complicated or heavy memory consuming) TNT Stackable fence Tools (Sword, Pickaxe, Hoe, Axe) Other Links Fan boards, homepages and such Fan boards DSCraft Stuff DsCraft Forum by me7i Fan homepages DsCraftPlace Dscraft FR
