Ok as I had stated before I use the character.x file to get my textures to work with the mobs now I have one problem the animation that the character has the mob does not use. How can I make the mob have the same animation as my character?

I love having all these mobs *except* Dungeon Master. It's cool to have a mob spawning who startles you in the dark, takes your health points and wanders to and fro, but one that destroys your builds is not cool. We'll put a lot of work into a cave realm build, then suddenly half of it is destroyed by Dungeon Master.

Is there a way to disable *only* the Dungeon Master (or any other destructive ones if there are any)? For now I'm using the config to allow only friendlies, but would rather allow all the others.

Thanks!

Not clean solution but you always can alter mod itself. In this case remove dungeon master from being registered. Open mods/mobs/init.lua file and search for dungeon_master.

By removing this line mob should no longer automaticly spawn.

Code: Select all

mobs:register_spawn("mobs:dungeon_master", {"default:stone"}, 2, -1, 7000, 1, -50)
By removing this part mob should will not exist in system

Code: Select all

mobs:register_mob("mobs:dungeon_master", {
	type = "monster",
	hp_max = 10,
	collisionbox = {-0.7, -0.01, -0.7, 0.7, 2.6, 0.7},
	visual = "mesh",
	mesh = "mobs_dungeon_master.x",
	textures = {"mobs_dungeon_master.png"},
	visual_size = {x=8, y=8},
	makes_footstep_sound = true,
	view_range = 15,
	walk_velocity = 1,
	run_velocity = 3,
	damage = 4,
	drops = {
		{name = "default:mese",
		chance = 100,
		min = 1,
		max = 2,},
	},
	armor = 60,
	drawtype = "front",
	water_damage = 1,
	lava_damage = 1,
	light_damage = 0,
	on_rightclick = nil,
	attack_type = "shoot",
	arrow = "mobs:fireball",
	shoot_interval = 2.5,
	sounds = {
		attack = "mobs_fireball",
	},
	animation = {
		stand_start = 0,
		stand_end = 19,
		walk_start = 20,
		walk_end = 35,
		punch_start = 36,
		punch_end = 48,
		speed_normal = 15,
		speed_run = 15,
	},
})
mobs:register_spawn("mobs:dungeon_master", {"default:stone"}, 2, -1, 7000, 1, -50)
There are plenty mobs mod variations and structure may vary for e.g.:
If init.lua file refers to other files like:

Code: Select all

dofile(path.."/dungeonmaster.lua")
You can remove this single line and dungeon master should no longer be initialized.

Do not forget to test changes, and be prepared revert changes (mod backup) for disastrous scenario.

Minetest for myself is new thing, sorry if my solution is overcomplicated. Maybe there are some checkbox or global config settings which can override default mod mobs registration behavior, but I do not know about them yet.

Nope--not over-complicated at all... I just didn't think to edit the mod itself. As I'm pretty new to Minetest, I hadn't realized they were plain text... figured they were some compiled format. Very cool that I can go about editing them... and if a new version comes out, I'll just use diff to make sure my changes are persistent to the new version.

Thanks! Will give this a try!

Update: this worked wonderfully! While I was at it I also replaced the sheep sounds with a nicer "baby lamb" sound. Going to dig deeper now that I know I can edit the mod directly, and see what else we can come up with :) Our customized version has been included on both of our servers.

I am experimenting with these mobs by editing init.lua. However, they appear so scarcely in the world that i have to search for a long time before i find one.

How can i affect their initial number (e.g. create 1000 dirt_monsters at world start)?

This mod doesn't add any mobs at world generation time - so you can't directly cause a given number to spawn.

You can increase the number of spawns by editing the chance variable when calling mobs:register_mob (smaller means more spawns) or editing the interval for the abm created by mobs:register_mob (this is hard coded)

You could also make a mod (or modifiy ones which already exist) to spawn a mob using minetest.add_entity(pos,name).
This would also work well using the luacmd mod - spawning one at your position using me:getpos() as the position.

If the sound is free (or has been recorded by yourshelf), could you release it? Many players kill sheep because they think their sounds are too loud. Better sheep sounds could save a lot of virtual sheep's lives :-)

Happy to. I have emailed the person who gave it to me to ask if we can share it. Will let you know.

Update: heard back and it sounds like he's cool with us distributing the sounds for non commercial use. What license should I request he release it under?

Any sufficiently free liscence ought to do. For media content, the cc-by-<something>-liscences seem most fitting; perhaps cc-by-sa? Though it might be better to talk with the mod author about it.

Ok small issue just not sure how to fix it. I noticed that the mobs are able to attk me through the walls of my house. If I stand in the corner doing something they can attk and hit me.

If you know how to fix it let me know I'm ok with editing the lua I just need to know what to change.

The simple mobs api deals damage when in range of a mob instead of checking wether mob can actually see you though walls like Mobs Redo api: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9917

I do not like mobs redo so much since they use b3d files which I can't edit, so with that said I am again having the issue of them clipping through the ground I just can't remember how I fixed it before. The z axis is fine that is not the problem I just don't know how I did it.

I believe the second and fifth. Second being the bottom, and fifth being the top.

Why do dirt mobs disapper when you hit them a couple of times while still getting damage from behind even though you are inside a house standing in a corner?
And why don't sheeps drop wool and meat when I hit/kill them?
