That's probably true. I've already taken all the large cave code out of the mod. Burli's using the original code I cobbled together from the C source and never maintained.paramat wrote:See viewtopic.php?p=218419#p218419
I think your heightmap checks may be failing, large caves should not be generated high in the air. The dark air of overgenerated large caves can cause lighiting bugs.
Hm, I add a counter. I just waked on the surface the first ingame day and in this time over 40 mobs are spawned. But it is also possible to get up to over 100. I don't know if they are all activeduane wrote: The code is now faster, but it still develops a lot of lag at times. I think some of that is due to the large number of creatures I have available.

That's definitely not the version I've got, which has the mobs_redo directory and different code. I got mine from https://github.com/tenplus1/mobs_redo.burli wrote:A few days old. But I can update again if there was an update shortly
No idea what happens. My version was maybe two weeks old and I could play two days ago with this mod.duane wrote:That's definitely not the version I've got, which has the mobs_redo directory and different code.

I just downloaded the new version of fun_caves and replaced the old one. Then I got the errorburli wrote: I was attacked by naked spiders. I add mobs mod, but not mobs_monsters. I expected, that you just need the api, but you removed some textures. So I had to add mobs_monsters to get the textures
Or are you using an older mobs mod befor it was splitted?
I don't really like the mobs in minetest. They may be to strong at the beginning, but if you have a steel sword most mobs are boring. And if you have a steel armor most mobs can't really harm you. The gameplay is not really balancedduane wrote:Edit: A lesser goblin just killed me in two hits. I may have to look into armor mods.
Well, all mobs will have about 12x the hit points and do 12x the normal damage at -31000, scaling up gradually. If there are armor and weapon mods that trivialize that, I'll just jack it up some more.burli wrote:I don't really like the mobs in minetest.

I don't want to dig down so deep. I want other methodes to change the difficulty.duane wrote:Well, all mobs will have about 12x the hit points and do 12x the normal damage at -31000, scaling up gradually. If there are armor and weapon mods that trivialize that, I'll just jack it up some more.
I want it to be impossible to beat. I'm an old rogue-like fan.
You could do all of that the same way I did the depth changes. You could even let the individual monsters gain levels slowly. (Of course, you're wasting most of the playing space.) If you do levels though, you have to have preset higher level areas. Otherwise junior characters are going to get stomped when the level of their area changes. And there's no obvious way to tell what level a monster is, since their F5 text doesn't change after they're created (annoying).burli wrote:I don't want to dig down so deep.

I don't want to clone Minecraft, but some things are good, like something that is called "Regional difficulty". If the player stays at the same area for a while the mobs get stronger and the spawn rate is higher. I also want to add XP and a level. Each level the mobs get a little bit stronger. I also like the idea that mobs can pick up items. And if it is a weapon or armor the mob can use the item.
That's easy. Just comment out the decorate_cave() and fortress() calls in mapgen (or replace those functions with your own). That's why I made them separate.burli wrote:I would like to use your cave algorithm without the decoration. Can you help me with that, please?

No, really, I just had to go deep enough, then there was nothing else. Don't know how deep I was, but not extremely deepduane wrote:That's odd. I barely find any.burli wrote:Hidden? Seriously?
