Re: [mod] Sailing Kit [sailing_kit]

you can attach another entity at player desired position and then attach the player to this new intermediary entity. This trick used to break attachments, at least before 5.4, guess it's fixed now. I noticed that it's still slowly rising, and I am unable to break it, even with an axe. I'm aware it ...

Re: [mod] Sailing Kit [sailing_kit]

for some reason I can't see my player character in the boat. Any reason that might be? That's normal in 1st person view, try switching to 3rd (hit 'C') Is there an anchor in this mod?

Re: Mobkit - Entity API [mobkit][alpha]

Is it possible for one to set loot drops from Wildlife's deers and wolves? Sure. Probably the easiest way is to copy function [yournamespace].hq_die(self) from behaviors2override.lua, and put your drop logic in this block: if timer < 0 then self.object:remove() end . Then use your version instead o...

Re: Mobkit - Entity API [mobkit][alpha]

Big fan of the deer and wolf. Can I ask if there is a way to make the deer eat grass and stuff? Definitely, I only haven't implemented grazing behavior because I'm to lazy to make a proper model animation. See mobkit_api.txt for instructions on custom behavior creation, and should you have any spec...

Glad you like it,
if you're interested, there's the Islands mapgen that makes sure you never run out of ocean to sail.

Re: [mod] Sailing Kit [sailing_kit]

i'm not sure how to control the sail other than space to put it up, is there a way to sheet in and sheet out for controlling power? Definitely, forward/W to sheet out, back/S to sheet in. Sail angle is limited to 90 degs for simplicity. one player on a server mentioned to check the flag on the top ...

Is it alright to play with both Mobkit (specifically with water_life and wildlife enabled) and Mobs Redo on the same world?
Mobkit and my example mods are dependecy-less, so in theory they shouldn't interfere with any game/mods combinations.

Re: darker nights for all players

According to the Lua API documentation it controls the ratio between night and day, basically shifting sunrise and sunset to different times of the day. As far as I understand this has nothing to do with the brightness of the night. That's not how it works, and the docs don't seem to say that. * `o...

Re: We need more official PR reviewers

Better than having reviewers is having developers who develop, know and understand the code. Having one to rule them all is better still.

Re: [mod] Islands - Experimental lua mapgen [islands]

Make the islands *much* more rare, so there is a lot of open deep sea. Any idea how to do this? There's local mult = 1.0 , if increased it'll cause the distances between islands to be greater, but will also make islands bigger. All of that you mention can be done by modifying noise parameters and o...

If you need traffic up and down, the only way I know is to increase active_block_range gradually to see how much it can handle.

Re: Moving Node - code help

I may still need a way to load the node out of range(if possible)... Neither nodes nor entities can activate outside active block range, except if you forceload some blocks, but that's somewhat impractical. But the game area looks quite small and there are probably few ABMs if any, so you could pro...

Re: Moving Node - code help

Well, there are countless ways to spawn, depending on what you want to achieve, it's as simple as calling add_entity(). If you want the car to be spawned always in the same spot then a node timer seems a valid method. You could also use an LBM if you want it to be immediately spawned every time a pl...

Re: [protomod] Treecapitator (tree falls down) [treecapitator]

I'd hoped to use the schematic files to get shapes/dimensions but moretrees uses the L-System to define trees. An universal solution could be to travel upwards from the initial node trying to recursively find connected wood/leaf nodes within some limits, that way theoretically even hand built trees...

Nice one.
I bet there shouldn't be much of a problem with felling trees consisting of 300 nodes if done one at a time.

Re: [mod] Islands - Experimental lua mapgen [islands]

Thought this was a no brainer.

I've got the new version ready but it turns out 5.4 broke texture overriding. Current version at least works the same in 5.3 and 5.4 so I'm gonna have to postpone the update.

Now the question is, is that your water definition or was it something in my water_life I maybe forgot about ? I'm gonna investigate this one The problem is that 5.3 uses the 'alpha' nodedef field which is too low in default, otherwise I could just alter the texture and leave the default definition...
