In this mod i have noticed some lags with mobs (i use 5.0.0-dev): storm monster doesn`t blow away other mobs when they are near. This mob also sometimes stops to rotate and for some reason start to attack players/mobs as simple ones. Other lag is exploding mobs don`t destroy blocks when they are exploding.

its too early to notice bugs from 0.5 yet, cuz lots of weird stuff happens with it.
...
the ai can only build with pre-selected materials that depends on what that are near them.
stuff like sand,dirt leaves is added, just to make some ai build like noobs :)
but makes the sand any problems?

you can see/change it in aliveai/init.lua:45 (basics)

+ "terminal"

use the aliveai:terminal tool (found in creative inventory) or use the command /aliveai ...requires the aliveai privilege
and get some more power and info about this complex mod :)
this is almost done

the manu to left top is the selected bot or use the tool on it
the manu lower is objects around it

I suppose that this is awaited, for some reason

I have such an error in minetest 4.17.1. Every trial to write /aliveai in console ends like this (with the other mods or without those mods):

Code: Select all

I have repeated the minetest instalation only with mods: technic, smartshop, mesecons, aliveai and now without any error, maybe you should give a list of compatible mods with aliveai. There are a lot of mods at https://github.com/minetest-mods:

I have found these mods and I think they are compatible and within aliveai:
https://github.com/AiTechEye/aliveai/wiki/Mods
But what about the rest of mods?

Posted: **Sun Sep 16, 2018 22:10**

Which type of map generator is the best for aliveai? flat? v6?
I still have some warnings all the time:

Code: Select all

I have install mods in this way:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/share/minetest/games/minetest_game/mods
[ ! -d 3d_armor ] && wget  https://github.com/stujones11/minetest-3d_armor/archive/master.zip -O 3d_armor-master.zip && unzip 3d_armor-master.zip && rm 3d_armor-master.zip && mv minetest-3d_armor-master 3d_armor

for i in smartshop aliveai; do [ ! -d $i ] && git clone https://github.com/AiTechEye/$i; done;
mv aliveai alive && mv alive/* . && rm -rf alive
sed -i 's/status=false/status=true/g' aliveai/init.lua

Commands:
/aliveai count
/aliveai status=true
have no response. Only "issued command", nothing else...

And bots without any privilige (only shout, interact) can fly and build above the ground (one air brick layer below the building).

After spawning in creative mode there two copies of the bot: one just standing and another walking around (maybe working, but monsters kill them all just after or before making the building.

1: https://github.com/AiTechEye/aliveai/wiki/Mods is the default / included mods (will change the title)
2: mapgen doesn't matter, as long there are sand,dirt/grass and stone

fixed command /aliveai ... since v24 the command only shows the terminal gui ... can also show/set count/status

checking the bugs...

Posted: **Mon Sep 17, 2018 22:55**

Now spawned bots have two copies: a kid and a moving adult.
After restart of the minetest kids disapeared, maybe an added aliveai privilige helped. Terminal works very good. Only warnings remained:
WARNING[Server]: Pathfinder: failed to update cost map
WARNING[Server]: ScriptApiBase::objectrefGetOrCreate(): Pushing ObjectRef to removed/deactivated object, this is probably a bug.

fixed and changed to a new storage (save/load) system, your old data will be lost
(as default only contains what players has eaten and changed to team)

Posted: **Thu Dec 27, 2018 23:57**

great, now testing it i'll report again.

Posted: **Sat Jan 05, 2019 01:52**

Hi AiTechEye,
Great mods and love to study the codes

Story, I'm using thirsty mod and I gave one of the bots a canteen then provoked it so it punched me back using the canteen and it crashed. I tried to bypass telling the mod that it should check whether the user a player or a bot but it always fails. It is not your mod fault, but raised a question.

A little question, can we attach some kind of persistent player attributes from other mod because when it is on_use by the bot some items check and can't find it since the bot isn't a real player and it crashes. Or should we black list certain items to avoid problems. The error comes from the other mod because it can't distinguish the user. I read the bot returns many attributes like a real player and it really fools some mods. I hope we can find a road to make this AI really close to real player.

Thanks.

Posted: **Sat Jan 05, 2019 12:43**

Please, made an APi for mobs from this!

Posted: **Sun Jan 06, 2019 22:38**

the bots are sending a array/table to the tools with functions like players have, and will be accept as player becaouse it has the function is_player() and returns true.

this makes it possable to the bots to use all tools, as long the tools not are checking if its a real player.

to prevent crashes its just to add more functions to it, or avoid using mods,
otherwise we have to make a loooooooong list of items to avoid, that constantly need to be updated :)

aliveai is an api, the other folders in the modpack is just add ons.

im working on a new mod where you can program in game

Posted: **Sun Jan 27, 2019 04:12**

At the moment i made items blacklist so bots dont use them. Currently it is the easiest way to prevent crash. They are amazing and add overall creepiness atmosphere.
I also added some codes to prevent them spam global chat and only allow local chat up to several nodes away. This give personal experience with the bots to each player. I hope i'm allowed to keep this nice mod this way.

Code: Select all

aliveai.say=function(self,text)	
	if self.talking==0 then return self end
	local pos = self.object:get_pos()
	local objects = minetest.get_objects_inside_radius(pos, 50)
	for i, o in pairs(objects) do
		if o:is_player() then
			local name = o:get_player_name()
			minetest.chat_send_player(name, "<" .. self.botname .."> " .. text)
		end
	end

	aliveai.last_spoken_to=text
	aliveai.on_chat(self.object:get_pos(),self.botname,text)
end

Posted: **Sun Jan 27, 2019 22:20**

i had no more time today to add the limited player / distance chat as setting (anyway a good idea by you), but "pcall"

this makes items wont crash while the bots are using them (protected / safe mode)

edit:
+limit chat distance to 200

Posted: **Mon Jan 28, 2019 02:10**

I'll take a look, thanks. It is interesting to see that they are quite unpredictable.
