[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.61] [mobs]

[TenPlus1]

Yes, lower value for amor means better protection, so 80 is harder to kill and requires diamond axe whereas 100 can be killed with stone tools... I was thinking of re-doing the armor but keep getting side tracked :)

Thanks for your help with rotation bug :)

I set in sandmonster.lua mobs:register_spawn("mobs:sand_monster", {"default:desert_sand"}, 2, 0, 1000, 5, 31000) and set light_damage 999. Every morning all sand monsters died but if i go to another desert_sand location sand monsters spawn and dies in a second, it is on every desert_sand location at day, but monsters must spawn only at night.

Fixed animal breeding bug, api no longer crashes...

Question: Should I change it so that mobs are removed when they are out of player range (except tamed animals and npc)? This would be a lot lighter on servers and only show mobs spawned in the local area...

Active area can be changed by adding setting active_object_send_range_blocks to minetest.conf file...

How to disable monsters but save animals? I want use another monsters.

Add to minetest.conf...
spawn_hostile_mobs = false

Not sure. Let's say I set out of my house to find that I am under siege by a group of angry ninjas that spawned while I was plinking around inside. All I would have to do to get rid of them is run run run out of the area. Then I could come back right away and they would all be gone? Is that about correct as to what could happen? Seems a little cheat-y.

To disable monsters in the default mod edit the init.lua file and comment each of the dofile lines containing a monster... e.g...

-- dofile(path.."/dirtmonster.lua")

I want disable monsters from mobs redo but save animals from mobs redo. Do you undestand me correctly?

Not the example I would of dreamed up... but pretty much sums up my opinion of the purposed change.

[blert2112]

Had a thought... You could make everyone happy by allowing the feature to be turned off for those that don't want to use it.

[TenPlus1]

The new feature hasn't been added, was getting feedback beforehand... And yes, I would make sure it could be disabled... As for monsters, they can only spawn and attack in same area as player anyway but will fiddle with the ninja thought and see what I can come up with :)

amadin: yes I understand you correctly and had given you the answer to your query...

-- dofile(path.."/dirtmonster.lua")

Why not adding a minetest.conf value for disabling monsters?

XD I'm going to have to try that later today...
Are the blood particles realy necessary? I like the dirt, mese, stone, ect particles. But since MT is suppose to be a family friendly game, why blood?

I would think that having eg. feathers come off the chicken or hit marks instead of blood would be better.

Turn it off:
add...
mobs_enable_blood = false
... to minetest.conf

I have some Irrlicht texture load error messages:

Code: Select all

Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: stone_monster_2.png
Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: oerkki.png
Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: sheep.png
Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: mobs_kitten_striped.png

Harmless.
Those models were exported with reference to those image textures. It's possible different textures are being used now, and it's certain at least the file names are changed. The current textures are fed via lua in the mobs mod. But irrlicht still complains.

It's annoying I guess, but not a showstopper. To resolve the models will need to be exported again with references to all textures removed.

I want make a suggestion, but please note that i'm not an expert at this field so i can be wrong.

I've tried to fix this bug but i found a difficulty. I think the models format (.b3d and .x) aren't quite in line with free software. I think i can't open them without a privative software (in a direct or indirect way). That may hinder the incorporation of new developers and the community growth.

I suggest to utilize open and known formats like Collada, Waveframe .obj, Blender, etc

[benrob0329]

I thought Blender could open .b3d files...and that's why MT was switching to them....?

[ExeterDad]

I thought Blender could open .b3d files...and that's why MT was switching to them....?

I think the reason for switching to .b3d is the file size is MUCH smaller then .x so it's a performance boost.

Blender can somewhat import .x for editing. And if I remember correctly, there isn't any plugins to import .b3d with any success.

You should be able to find the .blends for those models as I believe they were created with Blender. Check around the various "mobs" mods around here. Some of the authors include them.

ExeterDad: I'm not getting any errors like those when i run Mobs Redo on standalone server, it seems to work fine... What version of Minetest are you using ?
