[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.61] [mobs]

[PolySaken]

works fine with 0.4.16

[Ypheus]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Minetest and english is not my mother tongue, sorry for any mistake.

I've been using "mobs redo" for two weeks now.

I searched but did not find how to change the explosion radius, neither the timer before explosion. I read this (https://antummt.github.io/mod-mobs_redo/api.html), but still can't find how.

Can you help me please ?

Thanks !

[Dokimi]

I just added a new mod that uses Mobs Redo, if anyone is interested.

Mobs War.

Turns Minetest into a hellishly terrifying war zone. Can be a lot of fun.

Mobs that don't take water damage have a tendency of taking baths too often. One thing I made to fix that is to given them 0.1 water damage and floor() the actual damage (this step might not necessary if the engine already does that - I was too lazy to actually check).

Hi there,

I am using Mobs Redo the first time today on a 0.4.16 server @lubuntu 16.10.4 amd64 and I get very often crashes with this crash message:

I am using a minimal edition of Animals Modpack 2.5.0, only for traders, archers, miners and ostriches (to ride them with the traders saddle) simultanous with Mods Redo. Eventually this could be the reason. I'll check this out and post the result hrer for you.

Thanks for help,

Rehi,

I am back again to tell you, that minetest already crashes without the Animal Modpack 2.5 mods. The crash message stays the same:

Code: Select all

2018-04-02 21:41:57: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'mobs_animal' in callback LuaABM::trigger(): /usr/share/minetest/mods/mobs_redo/api.lua:3107: attempt to index field 'collisionbox' (a nil value)

Please help me out... :-/ ...thanks!

[TenPlus1]

holli: it sounds like you have a registered mob that uses the mob redo api and doesn't have the collisionbox set for the mob entity, so I'll add a fallback in the api that should stop this happening.

[holli]

Hi TenPlus1,

thanks for your support and your really quick reply!

Holli

PS: You call back if the patch is downloadable? 8-D

[ektor]

Hello.

I want to make mobs spawn less to have better performance.
How can I do this setting ?

I try to modify the spawner.lua file and change the interval to 120, but it seems to have no incidence.

And I don't understand how works the code to include in the minetest.conf: the mob chance and area numbers.

[TenPlus1]

ektor: in minetest.conf you could add this line to spawn less mobs (higher the number, less mobs):

mob_chance_multiplier = 2.0

[ektor]

great, I'll try tonight, when server not busy.
thanks TenPlus1.

[holli]

Ah, nice hint, TenPlus1! :-D In the world on my server were to much mobs too...

[Astrobe]

There's an exploit with vehicles: when you're in a cart or in a boat, you are invulnerable because the aggressor hits your vehicle that has no HP so nothing happens. The solution I've found to this is to add a chance of dismounting the player.

This makes for instance sharks quite scary when you're crossing seas, because if you are dismounted your boat will carry on without you (not to mention there's a pair of large jaws after you). If you react quick enough you can mount it again right away, but it's wiser to make two or three boats just in case.

[Chibi ghost]

I have a problem it's the penguins they have a bad habit of swimming through solid areas like walls or the ground
also, I'm not sure if it's a you problem or a blert2112 viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12652
problem but since I updated the mob's api the fish fly through the air unless they get tangled up in the trees shame really as it was the only fish mod I liked

anyway that's enough of me moaning I love the new changes now the farm animals are not escaping

[TenPlus1]

Chibi: I tested fish for a while and noticed them swimming slowly up and down on occasion, but on a server that has lag issues they have a tendency to glide out of the water so I've disabled the up.down movement for flying and swimming mobs (for now).

Update: Added smooth rotation to mobs thanks to ThomasMonroe.

Hi there, I cannot use this mod on my server (Debian).

remove the -master and then it will work!!!!

[TenPlus1]

barbach: make sure you are running Minetest 0.4.16 for the new settings function.

[barbach]

Yup seems like I'm running minetest 4.15...
I'll try to install 4.16 and see if it works thanks

[Chibi ghost]

updated the monster mobs and I encountered a dungeon master and it's new fireball


halp

[barbach]

Updated to 4.16 and it's working well.
Just one weird thing : I can't use shears on sheeps...

[Lone_Wolf]

Updated to 4.16 and it's working well.

They need to be tamed I think

[Chibi ghost]

if you don't want to tame them kill them and get one wool block
upside you get the muton as well so extra food is good

[Hamlet]

Is there a way to avoid mobs/npcs entering the "attack" state if the target isn't in their line of sight?
I'm testing some npcs/mobs and I've noticed that they look even for mobs that they couldn't normally see, for example a monster in a cave under them or a mob in a tunnel separated by a stone wall.

It's weird to see them get stuck in front of a wall, or running in circles because of an underground mob.

[TenPlus1]

Hamlet - Mobs Redo API has been updated and this issue has been fixed :)
