Could also wait until 5.4 releases to drop support

I see.
Well, maybe I'm going to query minetest.features and try to support 5.2 for a little bit longer if it turns out to be not too much of a PITA.
Then it'll be up to the mods to decide if they want to make use of collision info or not.
No support, just having a branch on github or a release in ContentDB to download if you accidentally deleted your outdated mobkit :)

The pausible solution, gundul, is if it's an old server, which can't be updated, then continue with the frozen 5.2 mobkit,
That is what I meant. Me, and maybe others too, might need a source to download an outdated mobkit for minetest < 5.3. That is all. No support needed.

Not necessarily outdated. The core is already stable and functional. Even the new version would be more instable, cos new features/improvements.

Thermos, the new minetest.get_objects_in_area function was merged for 5.4.

I think that this would be an improvement for the mobkit's "sensors" function (self.nearby_objects). For terrestrial mobs would be more suitable a rectangle area than a sphere = less nodes to check (?) and more relevant ones (not much higher nodes to check). Maybe self.view_range (now only a horizontal range) in conjunction with self.jump_height too to flatten the rectangle.

Image

For aerial ones not, I guess. And either not suitable for aerial-terrestrial predator-preys.

Best Regards.

Actually, at first I assumed get_objects_inside_radius() worked that way, wouldn't expect anybody to go the trouble of making it a proper spherical radius.

Yes, I'll probably make use of it some time after 5.4 is out and widely adopted.

Update 210105

mobkit
  • moved all example behaviors to a separate file example_behaviors.lua so it's clear what is part of the core library and what's not.
  • added the file behaviors2override.lua. It's basicly a copy of example_behaviors.lua with the prefix 'mobkit' replaced with the string '[yournamespace]' where needed, so to start using modified example behaviors just copy all the contents to your mod/game and replace all occurences of '[yournamespace]' to your namespace of choice.
  • mobkit.get_spawn_pos_abr() - fixed the bug when spawns happened more often than intended on very laggy servers with dtime comparable to a second.
  • added mobkit.get_box_intersect_cols()
    returns all {x=,z=} columns that a box intersects with.
  • added mobkit.get_box_displace_cols()
    returns all {x=,z=} columns that a box would enter if it moved by a specified vector
    this is the basis for large box movement support (whales, dinos etc.). I'm going to elaborate here later.
  • [experimental] added mobkit integrity control
    gets a checksum of mobkit global table contents and issues an error if modified by another mod.
    This uses undocumented features of minetest.serialize so we'll see how it goes
  • mobkit now makes use of collision info, it should also be available from inside logic and behaviors via 'colinfo' variable (MT 5.3.0 and later)
  • various fixes and possibly new bugs. This one might be a bit rushed but I'm not sure when I'll get some time to work on this again
MT 5.0 - 5.2 compatibility should still be preserved.

Thanks.

I get "mobkit namespace inconsistent", I mean even with mobkit alone (no more mobkit related stuff). I've checked it putting mobkit in the "devtest game" and the same problem.

Do calculate the hash with the "devtest" game.

On the other hand, I've fixed my Petz mod cos it was some namespace functions taken.

Yeah I might have to remove that one. minetest.serialize adds some machine specific bits and I might not have been able to remove all of them.
Maybe the output is also os specific, are you using linux?

Yes, Linux. In my system, with "devtest" and only mobkit, crc is "3e94b7e61cec2ed13b96be0425c24b8e4697e654"

minetest.serialize() is for tables, and will probably break like that given any other input. Try dump()

Is there/will there be the ability to set movement and viewing direction independantly from each other?

Looks like in case of functions minetest.serialize() returns same thing as dump except nondisplayable characters are converted to displayable representation.

Mobkit doesn't enforce the concept of viewing direction. Entities have access to all objects in range and it's up to the modder to decide which of them they can notice.

zombiestrd for example. Zombies can see in the front arc only, but they can 'hear' sounds coming from all directions.

I've updated the dev branch with the atomic option.

Update 210109

mobkit
  • removed the integrity check error message
Found a way to test it and were able to reverse engineer the output of string.dump() to a degree, so it'll probably return later.

No I meant for him to use dump(). It shows that mobkit.turn2yaw is a function. Which I guess makes sense now that I look at it again. There is no () at the end turning it into a function call instead of a 'function pointer'

what dump() seems to do to functions is return the string "<function>" so all functions look identical to it.
minetest.serialize() does serialize functions, just the specifics of that process aren't documented.
