[Mod] Cubic microcar [0.4.0] [mesecar]

by paramat » Post

Image

^ Nyancart, Oerkka, Mesecar

A fork of viewtopic.php?id=7381 which is a fork of PilzAdam's boat mod.
Download https://github.com/paramat/mesecar/archive/master.zip and rename folder to 'mesecar'
Browse code https://github.com/paramat/mesecar

For Minetest 0.4.10 and later
Depends default
Licenses: code WTFPL, textures CC BY-SA

4 styles of microcar: Car55, Nyancart, Mesecar and Oerkka.
Will only turn when moving, turn speed reduces near top speed.
Dual-motor 4 wheel drive update (inspired by Tesla Model S).
By default will climb slabs but not full blocks, edit STEPH to 1.1 to climb blocks.
16 pixel textures scaled to a 1.5 node cube, the player is sitting inside and has to be hidden because scaling the car also scales the driver.
My pathv6alt mod viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10064 generates roads in mgv6 to drive on.
Noisegrid lua mapgen also has roads viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9296.

Crafting recipies.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft({
	output = "mesecar:motor",

Wow, those physics are really better than the old.
The only bad thing I can find on this, is the orange color :)

Idea: Car elevates itself if it moves on street blocks. Like this mods block

But please don't make it a hard dependency.

Here an illustration about the block situation:

Grey blocks are street blocks brown just dirt.

WASD keys.
Note it won't go up full nodes, only half slabs, i have road mods: 'path' and 'noisegrid'.
EDIT
Note the car is uncontrollable and jerky while the server is busy, this is unavoidable. Best to fully generate an area of world before driving to avoid mapgen lags.

Cute microcar :)
It's like a cart, just controllable and off-rail.

Could you add a special object, like a boat, to put the car on it?
So, it would be possible to drive with that it over the sea.

I like it but why when I put it, it levitates one block of high.
I must put it in a hole in one block for it touches the ground.

Line 171 should be:

Code: Select all

pointed_thing.under.y = pointed_thing.under.y + 1
+1 not +2, that might fix it.
I'll fix this for the next version.

0.3.2
New textures scaled up to 1.5 nodes wide, player hidden inside because player is unfortunately also scaled.
Player viewpoint somehow remains above the car roof, which works out well because it is like an auto-third person view.

It would be great if the view was farer away in third person view. Is that possible with Minetest at the moment?

Hey where do I get the mod dependency needed to run this mod? it would be helpful if you included them in the mod zip when downloading this and explaining you need these extra mods to make it work.

Hi, the dependancy 'default' is part of Minetest Game so you already have it.

You can edit the 'collisionbox' for each car https://github.com/paramat/mesecar/blob ... it.lua#L42
It's by default a little narrower than the car because it doesn't rotate with the car so is effectively wider when the car is diagonal. So yes edges of a car can sometimes pass through objects.
I should add a bright yellow mesecar.

Nice!!

Maybe the Mese Car could be super fast?

Also, what do you think about adding "fuel"?
