hello minetest!

today i present you the ranged weapons mod!

it adds some throwable weapons and guns

that includes:


shurikens: wooden, stone, steel, bronze, gold, mese, diamond (they deal as much damages as the same material sword would, the golden one is as strong as mese)

javelin: deals 6 damage and penetrates mobs/players

guns:
3 handguns: (makarov and bereta98 uses 9mm bullets while desert eagle uses 375. bullets, handguns are low at damage and velocity, but quite cheap)

3 revolvers: (uses 375. bullets, deals higher damage than handguns and has bigger velocity than any other guns, not as cheap as handguns, but still not too expensive to make)

4 rifles: ( uses 10mm bullets, deals highest damage of all other guns and penetrates mobs/players, also, they got higher velocity than handguns, but not as high as revolvers, they are quite expensive to make)

4 shotguns: (uses shotgun shells to shoot, theyr damages ain't so high, but they can harm a swarm of players/mobs in 1 shot if they all are close to each other, and those are quite expensive to make)

2 power guns:
electro gun: (uses power charges to shoot, it shoots a slowly moving, big area reaching electric charge, that continously damages players/mobs that are touching it, it penetrates then aswell!, this one is extra expensive to make, but believe me, it will make you unbeatable against players without diamond armor, and the strongest of mobs!)

laser rifle: (uses poer charges to shoot, it shots a laser beam that penetrates mobs/players and blocks, and that lets you reach even the mobs and players behind walls!, might not be as expensive as electro gun, but still it sick expensive to make!)

as a bonus, this mod also makes "default:clay_brick: (clay brick) throwable!

now for the recipes!


some code from "throwing" mod was used to make this mod

depends: default, moreores (some recipes needs silver and mithril!)
license: WTFPL (do what the @#$% you want with the public license)
mt version: tested on mt 0.4.14 (should work with 0.4.10 - 0.4.13 aswell)
recomendation: use wield3d made by stu with this mod, and then make people in multiplayer s&$% theyr pants when they see u with the gigantic jackhammer ;D

This is awesome!!! Is it possible to make a machine gun or chaingun? Thanks for your hard work!

your welcome, idk if i will manage to ever create a gun that would work automatically, but theres one gun in kaeza's firearms mod.

[TheReaperKing]

I've tried it but unfortunately his guns can't hurt players or mobs :\

[D00Med]

Looks really good!
edit: it is really good!
Just a suggestion; instead of using a single massive entity for shot, you could make lots of little entities but give them different acceleration or velocity, that way they would spread out but not from the moment they are fired.

[davidthecreator]

update!

as D00Med suggested, shotguns now shoot a spread of bullets!

[D00Med]

Nice!

[Krock]

The war may begin! Well done, this is a good mod to make survival servers more interesting. Also the shooter mod should work parallel to this one. Are there plans to provide recipes for the case moreores is not available? (making it an optional dependency)

A suggestion for the code: Right now there are about 1000 lines of code that could be saved.
My idea would be to write a new function to do on_step, using the given tool parameters:

Code: Select all

function do_onstep_thing(self, dtime, cooldown_time, damage, entity_name, drop_item_name)
   self.timer = self.timer + dtime
   ...
end

RANGEDWEAPONS_STEELSR.on_step = function(self, dtime)
   do_onstep_thing(self, dtime, 0.06, 6, "rangedweapons:steelsr", "rangedweapons:steel_shuriken")
end

RANGEDWEAPONS_MESESR.on_step = function(self, dtime)
   do_onstep_thing(self, dtime, 0.055, 7, "rangedweapons:mesesr", "rangedweapons:mese_shuriken")
end

Having this mod on Github would be very helpul to contribute.

[Gundul]

Thanks for your great mod !

I added to my server to use weapons for hunting.
Only two things i changed:

- first restricted weapon use to a special area (hunting area in my server)
- second the drops of shuriken, javelins and so on when hitting a node
dropping on the floor is buggy and crashed server recently. so i deleted it.


Area restriction of weapons might be useful on other servers too, so no griefers
can disturb other players. Here is the code of init.lua:

-Mike

welp... comrade... I did it... there's now: machine pistols, SMG's, auto-shotguns, assault rifles, heavy machineguns (including minigun, which is pretty much chaingun)

[Stix]

Multiple sets of bullet-resistant armor please!

[Lone_Wolf]

Interesting update. I'll have to see how you did the automatic weapons...

[Stix]

Ok so i tried it out yesterday with my sister in local-multiplayer and came across an issue: bullets collide with eachother, meaning if we both had a minigun (for example) and shot at eachother noone would die because the bullets act like a shield :-(.

*EDIT: Also even machine guns need to be reloaded every once in a while :P.

just the best weapon mod

shot the player and mobs (redo or c.m.e ) (love that), and explosive destroying map , sounds amazing, new texture just incredible,
(but black plastic sheet recipe was better with "plastic sheet"(technic) and not "tree" ?)
really good work i adopt it
but conflict with "explosives" mod : viewtopic.php?t=14720

can you fix it please i really want have the two mod together i don't know how to do that
(or better integred it pleeeeeaaaase)

and it was just perfect :)

I Will keep the plastic sheet recipe the same, as I don't want the mod to depend on techinc, just so players could craft a material for making guns...

And in what way exactly does this mod conflict with "explosives" mod?

I checked the mod out along with rangedweapons, and they both seemed to work just fine...

[Stix]

Another issue: laser weapons deal 0 dmg half the time no matter the distance.

Were you shooting another player, who's wearing armor with "heal" ?

Doesn't all armor have heal values? But yes, they were wearing diamond armor.

And about bullets colliding with eachother?

Well, if "heal" was involved, then there's no bug...

The way "heal" works, is providing player with chance to completely block damage...

So if a player is wearing full diamond set (60 heal)
The player has 60% chance to take 0 damage, no matter what source it comes from... Laser guns, regular guns... Or even stuff completely unrelated to rangedweapons (lava, falling, mob/player Mele attacks, drowning, etc)

And about the bullet collision... Doubt I will come up with something smart, aspecially without screwing something up, so I might try reducing bullet collision range, which will mean bullets would still be able to collide, but it would be harder to hit a bullet with another one.

[Stix]

Maybe try looking at how "simple_shooter" by Stu works? AFAIK It's never had bullet-collision problems in all its years of use on CTF.

[Lone_Wolf]

stu's mod uses a particle for the bullet IIRC. You might want to check out his code. I think it's a little more lightweight

[GreenXenith]

The particle in simple_shooter is just visual. The actual hit is with a hacky vector ray (because actual vector rays aren't until 5.0.0).

Well from my years of experience on CTF the visual particle collides with the player at the same time they take dmg from the gun, meaning the vector-ray and particle are aligned perfectly on the same trajectory and speed.

when i start with ranged weapon + explosives activated
i have this :

2018-08-29 23:48:02: ACTION[Main]: MOD: Explosives loading...
2018-08-29 23:48:02: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from D:\minetest-0.4.16\bin\..\mods\explosives\init.lua:

2018-08-29 23:48:02: ERROR[Main]: Voir debug.txt pour plus d'informations.

and if i disable explosives all work fine (or explosives without ranged weapon (but together i have this thing))

and this is the line 10=>21 of init.lua apprently concerned (mod explosives)

Code: Select all

--internationalization
if minetest.get_modpath("intllib") then
	explosives.i18n = intllib.Getter()
else
	explosives.i18n = function(s,a,...)
		a={a,...}
		local v = s:gsub("@(%d+)", function(n)
			return a[tonumber(n)]
		end)
		return v
	end
	end

if i have understood something, the probleme is in line 12:
"explosives.i18n = intllib.Getter()"
hummm.....ok what i'm supose to do with that shit ..... XD
i'm not a dev and changing mod recipes and textur has already a big victory for me and i'm just don't know what the line 12 want to say
it's already bad start :)

i have changed the recipe for black plastic already :) it was good hidden in "misc" i have take lot of time before reading all the "dofile" in the init to finaly find the recipe file ;p

usualy they all are in a "item" or "craft" file but not this time

but this is the best i can do
so i need help :)
