Moved

[Christian9]

Has with our modern dinosaurs, the birds, this mod has migrated! follow this for the new mod:Prehistoric Life Mod

[Christian9]

.

[Don]

Keep it up. This looks like it will be a cool mod.

[Dopium]

Nice idea, maybe have fossils generated in the dinosaurs form underground as in they are extinct. Even if the mod was only fossils, it would add a exploration element to the game.

T-Rex is now ready

Indominus Rex screenshot is being released soon

I just tested version 0.0.1 and had some problems:

• Is this a modpack? Then you should probably add an empty file called “modpack.txt” in the “trex” directory.
• Even after adding modpack.txt, it doesn't work for me: The is a naming conflict, you have a mod called “mobf”. Is this mod the original Mob Framework? Then you could safely delete it and list it as dependeny. If you changed it, however, I strongly suggest you rename this mod (perhaps “trex_mobf” or something) to resolve the naming conflicts

[Christian9]

Yes it is indeed a mod pack and I will be releasing a Rex beta soon with a modified mobf(I'm in fact working on it has we speak)

[Christian9]

Beta is Out! Enjoy!

[Wuzzy]

Nice, now I can at least start it. :D

I did not test much, but these are the bugs I have found:

- T-Rex has Z-fighting issues at its arms.
- I got this error message a few times:

Okay I'll fix this up as soon has possible.im already working on the cloning process for survival mode(there only accessible thru creative mode.

[blert2112]

Your license file is unclear regarding your dino models and textures...
May I use your models and textures for conversions to mobs_redo?

[Christian9]

I do not have a license the Tyrannosaur, and the Trikes owner is CC by SA so yes you may use them and the item textures are all by me

[Christian9]

Okay I fixed it and also it needs 4.11 or higher.

[Christian9]

The Alpha has been Released

[Wuzzy]

Congrats for making it this far with the mod!

I have no idea how to use this mod and how to add the dinosaurs, however.

It seems the fossils are pretty common. The nodes with fossils inside look weird when using the default 16×16 textures. Did you use images larger than 16×16 pixels? If you do texture overlays, you should make sure they have the same size as the original images.

I can also recall Minetest complaining about some missing images from pref (I forgot which ones).

[Christian9]

Yeah, I noticed the fossils are pretty common as well, I'm gonna give them the same rarity has iron ore.has for adding them, there's a cloning process tutorial on the main modding discussion post. has for those images I'm working on that currently.
