I was still curious what that displace_cols thing really does, so I visualized it :) function water_life.radar_fast_cols(obj,dist) if not dist then dist = 3 end local pos = obj:get_pos() local yaw = 0 local box = {} if obj:is_player() then yaw = obj:get_look_horizontal() box = obj:get_properties().c...

Update 211702




fixed some vector calculation errors
fixed stay by a whale behavior
api and behavior fixes
balancing
Gulls will try to steal bait from hand :)

Relax. It is only a game and nobody is gonna be naked. :)
Barby dolls are more porn than runs' mod.

Update 211601 water_life.register_gull_bait(name) to register any bait to attract gulls by default these are baits: "water_life:clownfish" "water_life:coralfish" "water_life:riverfish" "water_life:piranha" "water_life:urchin_item" "water_life:s...

True it's better with an adblocker. But now half of the website space is empty XD

This looks not very inviting. More like clickbait website where the ads are larger than
the content.

Update 211501

new behavior for the gulls
they may randomly chose you and fly to your position
or you hold "farming:bread" in your hand and they will come :)

Update 211401 introducing the new gulls (model/textures by MisterE) floating and takeoff behavior for gulls fast takeoff if predator comes too near slowed down a bit speed of attacking sharks dtime measurement, use /wl_showdtime to print avg and max on screen - Rattlesnake poison will not effect ne...

One by one.
The gulls first.

Hello Gundul. I don't know, if someone has written about it, but: Yes it has. It is maybe the most asked question about water_life XD Kinda feedback generator. First page of this thread will tell you all you need to know. Or github issues, or google, or my wife who knows even more than google :)

I experienced this when adjusting add_velocity to the takeoff behavior. You can chose between sometimes submerged or like a rocket to the sky, but a smooth bird like takeoff from sea level into the sky seems to depend on luck. I can't tell about how it is to try contributing to minetest. But I remem...

Submerged or not seems to be difficult to control. As said it is very lag sensible and then having the small birds floating on the quiet big waves it is difficult to control. I will see if adjusting the collisionbox will help. For the others ideas I will see what will be possible. Holding bread in h...

New gulls and behaviors This is still far away from being finished, but gulls now spawn floating on water. They search for a good takeoff position and takeoff. This is available in the dev branch in water_life. So please check it out and tell me what you think. Flying mobs are pretty sensible to se...

They usually use to spawn in packs but they do not yet have a swarm behavior like coral fish. Maybe I can add it in the future, for now I am still occupied with your gulls :) I maybe forgot to tell but sharks, crocodiles, alligators and piranhas all like the same animals so for registering new food ...

Yes that was the first version of the radar. It now uses raycasts which is much faster and does not need to check hundreds of nodes. But you already know what I was planning to do :)
I will try it out and check what is better/faster, your displace_cols or my raycasts :)

Err, no ;) You get the y range elsewhere, because it's easy, you've got the box dimensions and maybe other stuff like jump height and add them up. This function gets you x's and z's that are in the box' path because that's actually more tricky to calculate. I'll probably have to do some example beh...

ok thanks, I think I am starting to understand. That is definitely more something for my smaller mobs like piranhas or the riverfish. It gives me possible y values they could move to in the near environment. Nothing for whales or eagles :)

mobkit.get_box_displace_cols(pos,box,vec,dist) If I understand it right, this will return collisions(intersections) of my mob with the collisionbox 'box' and currently being at position 'pos' when it moved in direction 'vec' in 'dist' nodes away ? are there any limitations in the collisionbox size ?...

So on my server the zombies from zombiestrd die within 2 seconds of spawning, whether it is day or night. Any clue as to why?

That depends on which zombiestrd mod you use. I used a fork of it, so maybe you should ask Termos.

I do not care if someone is showing my mod on youtube or not. I do care if he makes money with content I developed.

That also depends on how frequent you update your mod. After all ContentDB ranking says nothing about quality of a mod. Only how often it was downloaded and if it is frequently updated. (and if you use the 'right' license)
Which does not mean Draconis is lacking of quality.

I love this Mod. After some days on my local Server, i have a lot of herds in my world. Too many herds and bulls. It would be good if new herds had a distance from each other. Killing the bulls is to difficult. Thanks, happy you like it. What you describe is a bit of a minetest problem. Minetest on...

I get the same message in a freshly generated world with only mobkit, water_life and unified_inventory as mods.
Minetest5.3.0 stable on arch linux

A first basic implementation of the new model from MisterE can be seen
in the dev branch.
Next will be adding the other animations and start writing behaviors accordingly.
