Nice work!

[runs]

Realy awesome :-)

[u18398]

thanks, I am glad someone likes this :)

new updates today:

• - introduce damage system
  - wayfinding after crash or if no takeoff position found
  - better calculations
  - true new hq behaviors
  - fast takeoff if player nearby

I hope I can do the spawn func tomorrow.

Quality.

[CalebJ]

Very cool! The API is well done, I might port this into TA's mobs somehow :)

[u18398]

New update:

• - eagles spawn at height y > 70 on group:tree, group:leaves and group:stone
  - chatcommand is limited to people with server priv
  - if crash on something eagles will suffer from 5% damage
  - they will drop raw_meat and in very rare cases diamond on death
  - way finding changed

eagles have problems finding way on ground in snowy areas, but wayfinding after crash is still
very wip anyway.
But I think this can be called a mod now and I upgrade from preview status :)

[u18398]

there is still no license for code and media, so this would be my recommendation:

License of code: LGPL 2.1
License of media: CC-BY-SA 3.0

Please all participants: Termos, Extex, and Melkor
is that ok for you? I plan to put the licences on monday, next week

[Extex]

I supplied a licence for eagle.
But Termos didn't put it in..
P.S. I wish I could try it but mobile is still on 5.0.1 cross doesn't work

very appreciate. brief, compact, clear. That is what I like :D

You get the latest Minetest for android on "https://f-droid.org

Latest aerotest also supports minetest 5.0.1

If no other license provided as the mentioned above, I consider it as accepted :)

[u18398]

Update:

• - better wayfinding
  - fixed errors in radar implementation
  - more accurate spawning
  - spawn now on group:fence, tree, wall and leaves
  - if played together with my fork of wildlife mod, wolves attack eagles on ground
  - added support of minetest 5.0.1 (checks for vector.cross)

[Termos]

I don't care about licensing that much, picked MIT for mobkit because it seemed the norm here.
If you prefer lgpl and there's no conflict then why not.

Me neither, I am not that much into licenses.

LPGL2.1 : https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt
CC-BY-SA 3.0 : https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by ... /legalcode

I guess they fit, others use it in this combination, too.
Besides one is only for code, the other for media.

[Lone_Wolf]

MIT is a lot nicer because it's not a pain to comply with when you're using the code. I tend to completely avoid using code that's licensed something GPL-related just to avoid the hassle

To me it looks like GPL is more what I would prefer:

[u18398]

update:

-new spawning: they just spawn in the air now, no expensive node checks, player must be above 60m high
- fix no panic bug: when a player is near an idle eagle, it will try to escape by panic takeoff (it should have done this already before)
- add checks for server settings, that eagles are really spawned

Amazing mod, Thanks!

Amazing mod, Thanks!

Happy you like it. Thanks also go to Termos for the fabulous mobkit and the flying behaviors and Extex and Melkor for the mighty eagle and it's animations.


little update today:

- cleanup and separate code
- add eagle_cry sound which will be played randomly
- add function to search for prey
- licenses for code and media added

until now only "wildlife:deer" is a registered prey for eagle, that will change in the future and you will be able
to register own prey by an api.
The next days I will try to add an attack behavior so prey can be followed and killed

[Melkor]

nice work. i love it!

Hunting Update



Eagles go for hunting now.
in init.lua you can change checktime intervall or even turn hunting off.

At the moment the following mods are supported: petz and wildlife

in detail they prey is wildlife:deer and

Code: Select all

"petz:kitty"
"petz:puppy"
"petz:ducky"
"petz:lamb"
"petz:calf"
"petz:chicken"
"petz:piggy"
"petz:pigeon"
"petz:hamster"
"petz:chimp"
"petz:beaver"
"petz:turtle"
"petz:frog"
"petz:penguin"

you can easily add other mobs to eagle's menu by:
aerotest.register_prey("my:mob")

This is not yet working for mobs in water.


So far it already works pretty well, there still are hunt fails. But that is not too bad I think. There can be expect
changes in the future, this is only the first version which is kind of releasable :)
Targeting moving prey with an flying eagle isn't too easy :D

[Bastrabun]

Looks awesome. That has to go on my server, too :)

Do you already have an idea on performance impact?

Thanks to Termos' mobkit, this can be even run on a Raspberry II and bigger.
(depends on max players, of course :) )

I only use raytracing for radar. Biggest impact is the search for prey and sorting it out.
All other is just vector calculation.

Oh, cool, thanx 4 supporting Petz :-D

Now terror also from the air. :-D

I think only lamb-sized animals should be attacked

But of course Minetest is not the real life ;D

That is what they do :)
Apart from that, in your mod even elephants are lamb-sized XD
