@rahonejm I can't help if you don't post the error message minetest is throwing

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2011 14:51**

ModError: Failed to load and run C:\Documents and Settings\Marcelino\My Documents\Downloads\minetest-0.4.dev-20111209-1-win32.....

I can't read the rest of the message, but it only appears after installing your mod =/

for me it says ..\data\mods\animals\init.lua

attempt to call field 'get_modpath' (a nil value)

For ME the answer was to [re]compile newest minetest from github.

i'll try that

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2011 16:31**

nope:(

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2011 00:24**

Sorry my fault, the init.lua file you are using is automaticaly created from the modular files, normaly I remove the lines 1227 - 1234 manualy seems i forgot it this time.

pleas comment out lines

local animals_modpath = minetest.get_modpath("animals")

dofile (animals_modpath .. "/generic_functions.lua")
dofile (animals_modpath .. "/movement_gen.lua")
dofile (animals_modpath .. "/harvesting.lua")
dofile (animals_modpath .. "/fighting.lua")
dofile (animals_modpath .. "/spawn_algorithms.lua")
dofile (animals_modpath .. "/management_functions.lua")

or take 0.4.1 comming soon

current git version should at least give a different error

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2011 01:22**

Sugestion: we should be able to capture animals without killing them, so we can make a little "farm". Only getting the meat after cooking them on the furnace! It would be awesome!

Posted: **Thu Dec 29, 2011 02:18**

@rahonejm good idea I'm going to add a rope to catch animals

EDIT1: Meat already present in animals mod is raw meat only. I don't intend to add cooking recipes to animals mod. In my opinion cooking would be better done in a separate mod eg baking.

fixed bug animals disapearing if another animal at the same pos is harvested/transformed

I really like this Mod!

The only thing is it seems to make the map load slower with dead block data areas (like MineCraft).
Might just be me though.

I plan to include this in my texture pack on the next update:

Looks great, really like it.

You'll have to add some more graphics as of 0.6.0 as it now supports different looking directions ;-)

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2012 02:46**

wait..now you can make the entity point towards the player

and other directions...so now you can have 3d entities!

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2012 03:07**

Sorry jordan4ibanez it's just sprites that do support it by now.
And I'm sad to tell celeron doesn't like having to many 3d-objects within minetest. I'll have a try to persuade him later, first I'll improove animals mod to the point it's capable of replacing rats, fireflys oerkkis and dungeon masters.
There's still some work to do to achieve this.

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2012 21:47**

I love those fireflys and rats and all the other mobs how dare regular animals come into the mix and try to replace these glorious things! correct me if I misunderstood you

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2012 22:12**

i think he means to make it so that his mod not only powers regular animals, but also the ones we have so far

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2012 22:13**

how do you get 20120103?

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2012 22:29**

oh but if not ill rough him up!

Here's a mod to help remove all animals from the current world if you want to uninstall the Animals mod for any reason:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_entity(":animals:sheep",
             {
                physical         = true,

                visual_size         = {x=4,y=4},
                textures         = {"wieldhand.png"},
                spritediv         = {x=6,y=1},
                initial_sprite_basepos     = {x=0, y=0},
            on_step = function(self, dtime)
                self.object:remove()
                end,
            on_punch = function(self, hitter)    end,
            on_rightclick = function(self, clicker)    end,
            on_activate = function(self,staticdata)    end,
            }

        )

            on_activate = function(self,staticdata)    end,
            }

        )

It's some repetitive and hackish code, but I'm still learning Lua so bear with me

Yes it's inteded to replace them by animals powered by this mod. NOT to remove them ;-)

@temperest although I'd prefere people not to remove animals mod I'm going to add your idea to my mod if you don't mind ;-)
