[Game] Wasteland [0.5 beta]

[spillz]

@spillz
Any error log or just a crash?

Nothing of interest in the log, just a crash.

EDIT: I tried removing everything but default, made a new world, and still get a hard crash after a few seconds. maybe something in the mod's mapgen?

Looks interesting. Have you considered randomly placing bones here and there to increase the eeriness?

If you die there will be a grave with your stuff, also there are very (!) rarely spawning graves with stuff.

I like the game, thanks for developing it.

I am fairly new to Minetest and not entirely clear on the "farming" aspect. According to the wiki, I am supposed to be able to use a tool to "mine" the wheat, but this does not seem to work in Wastelands. You can't mine the wheat directly but must mine the block underneath it. Is this by design? Or am I missing something? I'm using the latest 0.4.9-dev version.

Put a 2x2 square of wheat in the crafting grid, which will make flour; then pur that in a furnace.

To harvest wheat, wait until it turns golden and has large tips on top, you will know; it will drop seeds and wheat.

Dig the plant with a sword or your fists or other tools.

I have random crashes after a few seconds too.
Debug log has a few :

I can harvest wheat normally in the default minetest_game, but this does not work in Wastelands. See attached videos, one of minetest_game farming, and one of Wastelands farming.

Yes, seems like a

groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 1},

Yes, i forgot to change the values for wheat aswell when switiching to new tool system this version. It will be fixed next release, or if you don't like waiting add:

Umm...what? I will take a look.

Hi! When I attempt to craft a bronze sword, a bronze pickaxe, bronze axe or a bronze shovel, it just yields me an unknown item.

The bronze hoe works, however.

PS: I am looking forward to see monsters in this subgame. :-)

I've got problems, too.
The error I get (also after a few seconds) is:
"minetest-0.4.9/bin [...] /games/Wasteland/mods/default/player.lua:144: attempt to call method "set local animation" (a nil value)
I'm also rather new to minetest. :(

Try to get a in-developement build from the forums (you can find them in "General Discussion") and see if this problem still exist.

Yeah, thanks!!! - Everything's alright now :)

[Mella]

Well, I'm almost starving, but this game is brilliant ;)

[meldrian]

Nice idea, even if got some similarities to another mod of another game which I did not like to mention here.
The real deal might it in Multiplayer-mode. I did not play with others so far but thinking of bring back nature to a total wasteland with friends sounds awesome in my head.

Question: I handled it to grow some wheat but I'am not able to farm it when it's grown. Bare hands or tools, I just can't mine it. It's like clicking at Stone with bare hands.
EDIT: Nevermind, i just read the information above and now I know the answer.

Using 0.2.2 of your mod and minetest 0.4.10
might there be problems with the new farming-api?

everything else: Great mod :)
thx

Dumb person question- I downloaded it and extracted. How do I get it to play? Also you can play with other people right?

Add the "wasteland" folder to ~/games/ in your minetest folder.

And yes, you can play this with other ppl (like every other game here) if someone hosts it.

anyone able to help me i have the latest minetest i added the folder to /games (which i had to go into root for which was a pain in the butt) but it wont show up when i start the program im at a bit of a loss

[LionsDen]

There are icons on the bottom of the minetest menu. Each icon represents a different game for minetest. Also, you can click the new button and enter your world name and then choose whichever game type from the box below where you enter your world name.

[skyion]

i looked thats what i meant by it wont show up i added one for zombies it shows up but this one wont appear in the menues but thanks for making sure i knew that part - i dumped the file reinstalled minetest reinstalled the mode and now for some reason it works i dunno what went wrong or where but yay thanks for putting thought into my problem whoever thought about it your awesome for it

[LionsDen]

You're welcome. Sometimes computers just make a mistake and you can never find the reason why something did or didn't work. It's happened to me numerous times and I expect it will happen numerous more.

Hey Blockmen,

don't know the effort which is necessary but maybe it's a nice idea to add toxic water (green water, poison) and a red burning sky instead of the normal one to the game.
Toxic Water: Player shouldn't go in there for healthy reasons but there might be some treasure or rare material underneath or in it. A "no risk no fun" or "no pain no gain" thing.
Red Sky: Just an optical tweak, fits into the "wasteland" setting (the blue sky is much to happy for the Post-Apocalypse ;) )

[Dragonop]

BlockMen you can add the finite liquids mod so the water will be more rare; and if you find two buckets of water you CANT make a infinite water source

[Dragonop]

How do you open the COFFYN?

[LionsDen]

Like you would a chest, just right-click it.

The red sky does not exactly fit in the direction of this game, since why would you be able to "regrow" the earth while the atmosphere is still destroyed (or why red?). Also i would think grey fits better than red in this setting.
The toxic water might be an idea, aswell something to clean it.

BlockMen you can add the finite liquids mod so the water will be more rare; and if you find two buckets of water you CANT make a infinite water source

Since i was never a fan of finite liquids i guess i woubt add that. But toxic water (like mentioned before) or something similar will make getting water also harder.
