an underground monster to discourage hiding in a hole
Why not an hardcore version of Oerkki from mobs_redo ? (2x faster for example)

Please don't give up on it, it is an awesome idea and a lot of fun! For 4.13 of minetest I copied the "throwing" folder from the adventuretest mod since minetest defense crashes looking for that folder.

Just a guess... you called it a mod. Did you install it as a mod rather then a game?

Download the development branch, the main doesn't have some of the updated code.

No Mobs ... but millions of chat messages

Just to add a ''me too..''

Installed the (sub-)game into my /home/$USER/.minetest/games directory.

Had to install the ''throwing'' mod as well.

It seems to start and play fine, just without any mobs monsters! :(

Also, the chat is incessantly spammed with the debug messages :

Code: Select all

[debug] defense:paniki: There are 309 sectors, 261 seeds 
[debug] defense:aranay: There are 0 sectors, 0 seeds
[debug] defense:unggoy: There are 0 sectors, 0 seeds

...over and over and over again.

Plus the occasional :

Code: Select all

[debug] Pruning sectors...
(So I toggled-off the chat by pressing F2.)

Pictures and feedback above look good so I'd hoped to try it, but sadly no monsters for me.

As always, I'm using the very latest up-to-date daily version from the minetest-devs ppa repository on a Linux Mint 17.3 Intel desktop PC.

HTH

Good game! The safest place I discovered is a house in the air, where minotaur can't get you.

Hi, i've got the same problem as CuriousNoob, did you find a solution ? I use minetest 0.4.14, and i can't find the 0.4.11.

I want to play this subgame !!!!!

Please see my post, but quite simply, you need to download the development branch, not the main.

Take care!

I put some work into making an updated version of this game.
https://notabug.org/NetherEran/The_End

Notable things changed:
  • Updated minetest game mods
  • (temporarily?) Removed throwing mod
  • Fixed bug where monsters would freeze because waypoints would be generated using pathfinding but not be set as destination
  • Pathfinding would cause a bug with hordes of monsters all sqeezing into the same position on the ideal path. So I added a feature that only temporarily enables pathfinding when there's no line of sight to the nearest player.
  • Added more comments and changed formatting on the code to my preference
  • Adjusted Sarangay(minotaur) charging
  • Made mobs decide when to jump more reliable
  • Added player_api and sinv to the mod list
  • Replaced all occurences of object:getpos() with object:get_pos(). I couldn't find any documentation on the former so I'm assuming it's depreceated.
Known issues:
  • Walls are useless because sarangay are too strong and unggoy can monkey pile over anything
  • Health regeneration is too slow to be useful
  • Pathfinding often fails, propably because the player is not always in a sector that's handled. It's possible that fixing this is really expensive computationally though.
I'm planning to take this into a Dwarves vs Zombies like direction, especially I'm going to add procs (powerful rampage of course). This was a really fun mechanic where you would kill one monster and get the power to oneshot further monsters for a few seconds. Before adding custom features I wanted to update the base game though so others can take it in other directions.
