[Modpack] Creatures MOB-Engine [2.3.1] [cme]
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1 beta] [creatures]
Really nice models, love this mod. Could I just ask, where does all the inspiration and ideas come from for your mods, BlockMen? :)
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.1 beta] [creatures]
Update!(finally) Version 1.1.1 released
Changelog:
- Zombies have also a maximum lifetime now (~5min)
- Hostile mobs use line_of_sight() befor attacking
- Fix different crashes and other things
- Experimental spawning control (see below)
If you still experience too much spawned mobs you can reduce them by lowering this value or increasing this (spawn_day ) value

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.1 beta] [creatures]
Great !
Will try this version soon.
Can you explain the meaning of spawn_day ? This may help if I need to tweak it :)

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.1 beta] [creatures]
Hi
I di a quick test without any other mod, and with all my mods enabled.
The latest improvements seems to solve my issue. I also noticed the creatures are spawned a better way : they are ramdomly and rather equally spread on the map. This is a very good improvement.
Thank you for your efforts.

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.1 beta] [creatures]
This is a very intriguing update. I'm going to have to check this one out, fo sure.
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.1 beta] [creatures]
Would be cool if sheep could follow you with wheat, so people can make a sheep pen for them. And also, I think the ghosts should drop string or paper, or even both?

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
Really love your mod, would like to know how to edit the damage the Ghosts and Zombies do, could you explain it to me? I've already changed the spawn rate and speed, just not sure how to change the damage.
Thanks
Thanks

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
Great mod !
Ghosts could drop souls, that could be used to create teleport portals, or nether portals.
Or used to "resurrect" : when you die and have a soul in inventory, you could use it to respawn at your bones ("You died, would you like to use 1 soul to resurrect here ? Yes - No, I prefer respawn the normal way").

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
Thanks a lot man! Really helped, now they're an actual threat! :D
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
They are creepy, and they always sound like they're right on top of you, but they hardly seem threatening. I even just killed one through a wall, recently (I think it was because I could reach them diagonally, but I'm not too sure).
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
I'm not too concerned about most mobs, but the sheep are getting a little too thick. I think this is because the function for limiting spawns does not survive server resets. The entities, however, will persist between resets. This may not be a huge deal for a multiplayer server, but this could easily give you thousands of mobs if you play in singleplayer mode for a while.
Maybe just reset the sheep lifetime if there's a player nearby. That might work out better than checking for groups.

Hmm, yes, the spawning control needs some more work... :\gsmanners wrote:I'm not too concerned about most mobs, but the sheep are getting a little too thick.

And no, i would like to keep the "mates"/group thing for sheep, i will take a look at it and see what can be done for tweaking
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
This mod is great but, how can I make them hit harder? They just seem so weak and unintimidating. I've looked in the lua but couldn't figure it out.

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
Got a curious error just now...
And, of course, line 57 is the + 1 thing in this block:
I think the problem there is something to do with the minetest.after and the use of m_name across that boundary. I suspect that the after clause doesn't really have a clean set of pointers to work with.

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
May I ask if how do you use the spawners? Cause I cant seem to see any zombie to spawn by it.
Thanks in advance. :D
Thanks in advance. :D
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
The zombie spawner has range = 17, max = 6, light level = 7. Most light sources are 13, so you'll need darkness around the spawner. The range is used for counting the mobs (I think you can have a total of max within the range). You'll also need a couple of air blocks within 5 blocks of the spawner for any new mobs to appear.

Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
So how do you exactly use it? Can you give me any example, because Im very confused.
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
Well, you put a spawner into a dark room and wait. If the area isn't dark, then you can wall it up.
Re: [Mod] Creatures [1.1.2 beta] [creatures]
I recently noticed a fatal flaw with this mod; either there ends up being way too many sheep/ghosts/zombies, or too many spawn at one time. Also, why are zombies immune to mesecons pressure plates?
