[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.61] [mobs]

[BlockStar]

@TenPlus1 - This is awesome, and a bit to digest (for me, anyway, haha). I'm going to try to figure this out the best I can before unloading a bunch of questions (I hate to be the guy with too many questions (but often am)). But, hey, it looks like you included a special condition for sneak mode, which is great! I mean, it's a stealth situation, so that is perfect. Wow.

I guess I have some reading and experimenting to do.

[BlockStar]

@TenPlus1 - Oh, crap, I just realized your last response to me was your 2,000th post on this thread. That's so funny and cool! Congratulations! I mean, that's a milestone or something, right? OK, alright, ignore me, I'm on very little sleep and haven't had my coffee yet.

[jas]

It's just a number. Numbers don't actually mean anything.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 2,000th POST TENPLUS1!!

I too have not had coffee. These last two days I heated up warm water, and cried a little.

[TenPlus1]

Thankies ... * sips celebratory coffee * :P

- Mobs now slow down inside liquids depending on viscocity
- Easier string/table checking for mobs flying in specific nodes
- Cobwebs slow mobs except spiders :P
- Obsidian Flan's tweaked to not break level 2 or over, or unbreakable nodes

I have a strange behaviour when it comes to default carts. Didn't know they were governed by mobs_redo :D

@Bastrabun - what were you doing at the time the error happened ? I've updated mobs_redo api and added a nil check to fix issue.

[Bastrabun]

I was riding in a cart, same track as always. I do not know what would have caused a force-detach or anything related, I just sat silently in the cart riding down to the mine, twiddling my finger.

Is there anything I can do to help find the cause?

- @Walker - I've updated the mobs api and added a nil check to fix that issue.
- Added 'randomy_rotate' flag in mob definition to stop mobs facing players or turning randomly when set to false.

yes i updated in the morning to the git version

[TenPlus1]

@Walker - api updated with another nil check :P

How do I make mobs attack only if they are attacked first? I've tried everything I can think of, including type = "animal" and passive = false, as used in the mobs_animal mod.

[FreeLikeGNU]

I use:

Code: Select all

 
  type = "npc",  --non aggro
  passive = false, -- will defend self
  attack_monsters = false,  -- wont defend against these
  attack_npcs = false, --or these
  attack_players = true, -- but will defend against players
  

[thunderdog1138]

I use:

  type = "npc",  --non aggro
  passive = false, -- will defend self
  attack_monsters = false,  -- wont defend against these
  attack_npcs = false, --or these
  attack_players = true, -- but will defend against players
  

Thanks! I assume this will work for type = "animal" too, right?

Scratch that, still not working (See for yourself). It's the stormtrooper mob that I'm trying to fix.

Hmm start a new map and test (or delete the map.sqlite in your worlds/<worldname> folder) to make sure no old troopers are in there

seems to work, thanks ;)

seems you have to add a nil-check everywhere ^^

Still not working. The API doc says that if passive = true then mobs will defend themselves, is this a mistake?

@Walker - It seems Minetest 5.3 is extremely unforgiving when it comes to entities popping out of existance :) more nil checks have been added...

@thunderdog1138 - api.txt updated, here is the mob definition for my npc's, they only attack when hit and will defend from monsters: https://notabug.org/TenPlus1/mobs_npc/s ... pc.lua#L11
