Has it been suggested yet, that installs done from the content tab would at least prompt the user to install missing hard dependencies?

When I put a ship, no sail and the cabin is flooded. But I can navigate. Boat spawns with the sail lowered, just get in and raise the sail by pressing space. Please let me now if it worked - there are also bugs in the engine related to attachments. If the cabin is flooded, you've probably changed b...

Update 191020

changes:

* adjusted turn rate to be nonlinear.
rowing should now be faster, tacking should be easier.

* easier sail control
when pulling on the sheet you don't get to wait for excess rope length, you pull the sail immediately.

* added heaving and pitching
now it rocks!

Update 191019 changes: * enabled ore generation this also appears to have an unexpected beautifying effect on cliffs and hills. * added cotton bush decorations so building a boat like this becomes possible * solved the issue with overriding mapgen name paramat's example uses 'mgname' while the param...

Nice additions, especially the wind. There’s another mod also dealibg with wind now, Sailing Kit. Ideal would be to have them pull wind data from the same source. =) Definitely, with that in mind there's a separate entry point for that in sailing_kit, the function get_wind(). It can be overriden to...

Updated zombiestrd Funny thing, looks like objects that players are attached to become players themselves, so sharks would try to attack boat hulls for example, quite hillarious. Sharks now ignore players having parents, so to speak. This update is only essential if using sharks along with boats or ...

Very cool, but immensely hard to control. Actually i was afraid it was too easy. There's definitely a learning curve, but after some practice I'm not bumping into terrain anymore and can navigate narrow straits most of the time. The goal is to keep it only as difficult for it to be viable to hold o...

https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=20367&sid=6e34f30cdf10eb1af3e919e7ae861638 Sailing Kit This is my take on sailing, it requires mobkit to work, also it depends on default because recipes n' all. features: physics, simplified but should work in the proper direction f...

Update 191017

changes:

* mostly under the hood stuff, shouldn't affect existing mods, but the new example requires latest version.
* ensured MT 5.1 compatibility
* improved lq_jumpattack behavior

Fix broken attachments on join

Had high hopes about this, but both client and server still keep loosing track of objects attached to objects that are attached themselves.

I'm inclined to believe this has to do with the lack of support for large collision boxes Just a bit of clarification, mobkit does support large collision boxes, see what Gundul done with whales . It's some builtin behaviors which assume horizontal box dimensions are < 1, but large boxes are entire...

Really? That sounds a bit anecdotal to me. Try searching for 'wildlife', it had been up and running since May. ContentDB seems overmoderated for a site which operation relies on availability and whims of a single individual. Sure, it's a nice to have but hardly the be-all end-all at its current sta...

Quick update 191015 changes: * breaking: mobkit.go_forward_horizontal(self,speed) - removed redundant yaw parameter * mobkit.turn2yaw() now returns resulting yaw in addition to boolean * added mobkit.drive_to_pos(self,tpos,speed,turn_rate,dist) moves in yaw direction while gradually turning towards ...

It's the easiest to use mobkit utils, for example: local tyaw = minetest.dir_to_yaw(vector.direction(pos, tpos)) mobkit.turn2yaw(self,tyaw,rate) -- rate is in rads per sec self.object:set_velocity(vector.multiply(minetest.yaw_to_dir(self.object:get_yaw()),max_speed))) edit: or just try the new versi...

Yup, this code will move them in a straight line, given tpos is stationary.

What's the problem exactly, do they not go towards tpos, or you'd like them to arc towards tpos?

ContentDB would be great if it wasn't so undermanned, which is obvious seeing how they shut down content after months of successful operation and then go all unresponsive about it.

Here's an alternatively colored landscape. Hopefully more to everyone's liking. Not sure that's even possible, this seems highly subjective stuff. Take Pixel Perfection texture pack for example, it makes my eyes puke, yet there are people who swear it looks beautiful to them. This one: https://foru...

Weeee!

Definitely just one for all.

get_spawn_pos_abr retuns just a position, then your function could determine what's there (nodes, biomes etc), then iterate over minerest.registered_entities and put eligible names in another table, then pick one randomly and spawn it.

I have fixed the physics. The flag now shows the wind properly and the sail's rotation is a bit more constrained to disallow sailing against the wind. Sailing upwind should still be possible, by means of tacking. Physics is still off, when the sail is parallel to the hull longitudinal axis it shoul...

Another quick fix then: mobkit version 191008 I found it. It is the melon from farming_redo: 2019-10-07 22:39:00: ACTION[Server]: [mobkit] farming:melon_8 uses nodebox without node_box defined Thanks a ton! The Melon of Doom shouldn't cause any problems anymore. I looked at their code, there doesn't...

Much better now.
One final improvement I'd make, instead of reducing turn angle to reduce turn rate.
mobkit.turn2yaw(self,tyaw,rate) takes turn rate expressed in radians per second, I guess values around 1.0 or less should be appropriate for these giants.

Thanks, it doesn't crash now. I'm so glad you didn't heed Krock's advice ;) Looks like physics needs some work though, sometimes the boat goes in the opposite direction to what it should according to wind and the sail position. Like in the shot below - it should go forward. https://forum.minetest.ne...
