[Mod] 3D Players [3d_player]

[BrandonReese]

PilzAdam,
I was working on multiple textures for your 3d players. I noticed the player texture is 'squished' from 32x64 to 32x32. How would I use a 32x64 texture? I setup a couple different textures, setting up the 2d table pixel for pixel (32x64) that had odd results, so I made the textures 32x32 but they lose any detail once they are stretched in game. With this method am I stuck using 32x32 textures and having the game stretch them?

[PilzAdam]

The code first creates a node that has the texture and the nodebox and then a entity that has drawtype "wielditem" and is set to the node.
A node needs square textures so I resized the 16x32 texture to 32x32. You should also choose the higher width/height to not loose pixels. The table for the nodebox has to be done for this resized texture.
If you use higher resolutions you may have to change some other parts of the code.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Ok I think I know what I did wrong now. Thank you.

[cornernote]

can you make 2 other nodeboxes, the same but with the legs and arms moved a little forward? Then when pos is changing, swap the nodeboxes so it looks like walking is animated.

[Josh]

This look's cool! great job PilzAdam. I thought i could only be made in c++ how did you make it in lua?

With the same "wielditem" hack as for animals. You can use player:set_object_proberties() to change the visuals of the player (somehow like Lua entities).

Would it be possible to have animations to the 3d player? for example a turning head.

I think the only way you can get animation is to swap the nodebox, this means nobeboxes that rotate are not really an option yet.

[PilzAdam]

There is no (good) way to add animation for the player. Somone is currently working on real 3D players and this mod is just for people who cant wait.

Can you make them any thicker, say like 5 pixels thick?

Oh man! Could you please implement this in your simple mobs mod?

[mikey2020]

make him thicker i think it really cool tho

[mikey2020]

its really cool

[InfinityProject]

You're right, PilzAdam. It's VERY time consuming to change the nodebox. Working on a Minecraft player shaped nodebox.

[Sokomine]

There are at least two nodebox editors out there: http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2840 from rubenwardy and
http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3162 from sapier. Maybe you can get one of them running.

[InfinityProject]

Here's a nodebox for a "somewhat minecraft" shape. This has not been tested so I don't know what it looks like yet.

Here's a nodebox for a "somewhat minecraft" shape. This has not been tested so I don't know what it looks like yet.
[...]

The numbers in the table dont have a effect on the thickness. If there is a 1 it creates a 1 px thick box, nothing else.

[Sokomine]

After experimenting a bit with sapiers Wielditem editor I came up with this:

The texture is that of wood (I'm not good at textures!). The collection of nodeboxes is modelled after the image of players on Redcrabs server combined with the default green shape. It looks a bit as if the players are severely undernourished. The image above was taken on the testserver of King Arthurs Land (difficult to do in singleplayer) and works fine if inserted into PilzAdam's mod here.

Can someone come up with a texture for it? Or improve the model? The wood texture doesn't look that great...

You can find the model and a working modified version of PilzAdams mod here: https://github.com/Sokomine/3d_player

[mikey2020]

can someone make it the shape and color of a minecraft person

[Sokomine]

I don't think copying Minecraft would be such a good idea. Plus the Minecraft player is a figure that is much simpler in construction. I'm afraid it won't look good as a static model. Arms, legs, head...none of these can move yet! For that we'll need the patches MirceaKitsune is working on. But if you really want a character that looks like the one in Minecraft then get the wielditem editor and construct your own set of nodeboxes :-) It's not that difficult.

[mikey2020]

i think minecraft would be good you don't have to make the players arms and legs move

Can you anchor entities to other entities either through lua or some strange lua hack?

[PilzAdam]

Can you anchor entities to other entities either through lua or some strange lua hack?

No. But Taoki's 3D player branch includes attachment (anchor) code. I have made a branch of my carts mod that uses this. To test it you have to compile Taoki's 3D player branch and install the attachment branch of my carts mod. Its realy aweseome!

[PilzAdam]

This mod is rather useless since 0.4.4-dev has real 3D models.

Some people is still on 0.4.3
