I took a look at the screenshot and the code of the barbed wire. Very nice!

While doing that I read you need to punch a mine? Maybe an idea to activate it when an entity is close? Punching it isn't the first thing I think about when I see a mine.

Well, mines are now removed because they crashed minetest by causing something to go wrong in default.
I meant punch to turn on, with a several-second countdown, giving you time to get away before they become active.
When active, they blow up when a player comes near.

Update 0.3:

Remove mines, cause they caused some crashes.
Added a knife. (no recipe yet)

Looks good but ....
It exencial accompanying another mod of firearms. Can be based on the mod arremeçar (PilzAdam), but with sound and textures of firearms.

Errr... the textures, and the sounds, are different from firearms. There is ONE gun in this. This adds many things not in firearms.

excuse me, mistakenly published.
What I mean.
Add a background sound that inspires a war (sound of gunfire in the distance)
Add a way to select players for each team. (Or enter a mod to do that) Thanks!

I see, so make the world seem warlike with sound effects etc. If I get good enough, that will definately be included!

For the sound effects, you could use the minetest.after function to play the sound. Then it will call the minetest.after function for the next time the sound is needed by maybe randomly choosing a number between 1 and 10 seconds. That way you get the random sounds of guns and or bombs. Just have a different timer for each sound you want in the background. Hope this helps.

How about, as something for the army to fight, giant subterranean yellow jacket hives. If you need some inspiration, look at the video below:

Why yellow jackets you ask? Because they are very aggressive, their hives are like something out of a horror film, and they would sure make for a unique type of enemy that has never been done before.

You could add flamethrowers and fire extinguishers to this mod. Give the two mods below a look in order to gain inspiration:

Thanks!

Edit: This works once, but then stops, how do I keep it repeating?

minetest.after(7, function(pos, player)
music_handle=minetest.sound_play("army_ambient1",
{pos = pos, gain = 1.0, max_hear_distance = 1,})
end)

[viv100]

how is it to reload and fire the gun

[Dan Duncombe]

how is it to reload and fire the gun

Look further up, I have already given instructions.

[viv100]

I do not understand

[Dan Duncombe]

I do not understand

'Put gun in inventory. Put bullets to direct right of gun. Punch to fire'
More or less what I already said.

end)

Put the sound into it's own function and call that once the first time when your mod code is executed once. Then in the function you created to play the sound, have it do the minetest.after command again but this time with a random number in the time position. That way it will call itself again every time the sound is played and it will space the time between plays randomly. That would be the way that I would do it as I don't know of any other way that is as economical in computing time.

This is the best mod for pvp servers I've ever seen. If you want this to really work. I believe we need a functional system for the server.
This system includes:
* Zoning of the players into two teams (so enter the server)
* Auto balancing the number of players on each team.
* Renaming of players on each team (eg BLUE01, RED01)
* Respawn at the base of the team
* Scoring system for deaths

I analyzed all the points I and with the addition of these functions may be the mod for pvp servers.

Nobody read the above post, apparently...

There is a capture-the-flag mod. The link to it is below:

[BrunoMine]

considered this mod flag, however the mod is a standard army of war.
