+1 This is a cool mod, but it is important to be able to hunt animals and kill monsters with the arrows, it just would make the game much more fun and interesting to be able to do this again. Is there any throwing (bow & arrow) mod out there that has support for this?

arrow ideas
an arrow that 'hits' an object. making it possible to activate over long distance
light bomb makes a sphere of light without breaking rocks so it places light (for mining)
real bomb explodes at target
chest arrow sends supply over long distance uses same choosing as build arrow but sends multiple and places a chest instead of arrow
water arrow makes a block of water at target
good/bad idea?
there's no place like 127.0.0.1

I like the light arrow. There are places I would like to put a light but can't reach them without flying.

The bomb arrow could combine PilzAdam's TNT mod with the arrow mod to get the effect and sounds cool.

Water arrow might be good in rare circumstances but there should be a way to recapture the water to shut off the flow. A complementary arrow would be the lava arrow. :)

The activate arrow would only be good for very special circumstances and I don't see myself using those very often but others might find them quite useful.

As for the chest arrow, I don't see a use for this as anywhere I want a chest I can place one. I don't see why I would ever place a chest in an area that I can't reach.

So mixed results for me. :)

How do u shoot arrows.
Q. Why cant you write with a broken pencil?
A. Because its not in minetest.
(The original answer is "Because it's pointless.")

Put a bow in your first inventory line, put the arrows next to it (to the right). Select the bow and left-click.

some were intended for a fighting server. (ctf/fps) the water was to not only fight fire but act like a ladder when scaling walls. the activate could be for a training arena with mesecon targets and the chest was if you were in a team for sending supplies to the field. i did have an idea of an auto shooter add-on fore mesecons.

If I want to disable the mod in my server.
This can damage the server? Or let it slow?

I think of disable and enable the mod constantly. (for any purpose)

What do you say to that?

I dont know what you mean by "damage the server". If you remove it then people get unkown items in their inventories instead of the bows and arrows, and arrows in the world will show up as unknown objects. When you re-enable the mod, then the unknown objects and items should turn back into what they were originally.

No, there is no reason why disabling a mod would slow down the server. In fact, disabling mods should speed up the server (depends on the mod, though).

I tried making my own arrows for this mod, using my very very old WCC mod as a container for experiments, replacing the weighted cube for this:

but that didn't work in the Throwing mod:

Now they are darts, they are almost invisible :)

here is the arrow if anyone is interested:

Code: Select all

--        stick
        {-0.5,0.0,0.0, 0.5,0.06250,0.06250},

--        point
        {-0.43750,0.06250,-0.0, -0.31250,0.12500,0.06250},
        {-0.43750,-0.06250,0.0, -0.31250,0.0,0.06250},

--        feather up
        {0.18750,0.06250,0.0, 0.43750,0.12500,0.06250},
        {0.25000,0.12500,0.0, 0.43750,0.18750,0.06250},

        {0.18750,-0.06250,0.0, 0.43750,0.0,0.06250},
        {0.25000,-0.12500,0.0, 0.43750,-0.06250,0.06250},

The throwing mod isn't working for me now (migrated from 0.4.6 to 0.4.7-dev); I left-click, it acts like a regular item (you punch with it). No arrows are shot, and no arrows are lost. Any ideas?

EDIT: My bad. It seems I have to equip arrows in one of my main slots and then shoot the bow.

Re: [Mod] Throwing, PilzAdam version [throwing]

A change to the default farming in Minetest 0.4.10 has unintentionally broken crafting of bows in Throwing by renaming/redefining gathered cotton to "cotton" rather than "string" (it possibly makes more sense)

As a work-around ... if you want to craft bows with cotton, add the following to the init.lua for throwing:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft({
	output = 'throwing:bow_wood',
	recipe = {
		{'farming:cotton', 'default:wood', ''},
		{'farming:cotton', '', 'default:wood'},
		{'farming:cotton', 'default:wood', ''},
	}
})

minetest.register_craft({
	output = 'throwing:bow_stone',
	recipe = {
		{'farming:cotton', 'default:cobble', ''},
		{'farming:cotton', '', 'default:cobble'},
		{'farming:cotton', 'default:cobble', ''},
	}
})

minetest.register_craft({
	output = 'throwing:bow_steel',
	recipe = {
		{'farming:cotton', 'default:steel_ingot', ''},
		{'farming:cotton', '', 'default:steel_ingot'},
		{'farming:cotton', 'default:steel_ingot', ''},
	}
})
There's probably a more efficient way of making that work but I don't know LUA yet :-)

Another idea is crafting string from cotton but that's too tricky for me just yet
