FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

As some might remember, I have a city generator mod called Structures , which although dead for some time will be alive again. I also wish to create biomes containing custom trees and perhaps other decorations. For this reason, I'm looking for an easy way to create schematics for Minetest. Although ...

As I mentioned previously, I'm always looking for creature models to add to my Creatures system and potentially other mods. Being a brony, I'm especially interested in a pony model! More so since in Minecraft, I use a client mod known as Mine Little Pony for years now. There are already a ton of ski...

Woah... a Minetest game that looks complex and awesome! Looks good from the screenshots, keep it up! Is there a GIT repository I can get this from please, or another download at this stage?

Busy day for the mod today. First of all, I added settings for all of the new species: Foxes will spawn in all biomes but more rarely, wolves will only spawn in snow biomes, rabbits on grass, leopards in desert biomes, and squirrels in trees. Foxes have no special traits, wolves are heavier than oth...

Continuation to the above post: Textured the wolf, leopard, rabbit and squirrel. http://i60.tinypic.com/1zeyq8h.png http://i60.tinypic.com/68d0zd.png http://i58.tinypic.com/28kk1ee.png http://i57.tinypic.com/qyfxc8.png http://i58.tinypic.com/2emfte9.png

Thank you! I spent the day texturing the other species I plan to include: Wolf, leopard, rabbit, squirrel. The textures are ready and committed, but the creature definitions will be in tomorrow since they still need tweaking. Never the less, here are the screenshots: http://i60.tinypic.com/1zeyq8h.p...

Anthropomorphic animals invade Minetest! Or not really... but I designed one for my Creatures mod, and the game I plan to create with it when I get around to such. See the original post for more details. http://i59.tinypic.com/9r3tqe.png http://i57.tinypic.com/6puglk.png http://i62.tinypic.com/ofd7j...

So I hope everyone here likes furries... because that's a thing that just got added to the mod! More precisely, there is now an anthropomorphic fox in the default creature set, with related species planned. This is primarily for a Minetest game I'm planning to design, but since I made one to begin w...

Since I still plan to create a good looking Minetest game when I get around to such, I remain very interested in this thread. Does anyone know of more texture sets released under a free license please? List anything that counts... be they ported from Minecraft or maybe even raw images which can be c...

However, I found this.. interesting finger.

That... doesn't look like a finger to me. If that was automatically generated by the mapgen, I'm laughing so hard right now.

ExeterDad's bunnies in my Creatures mod: http://i62.tinypic.com/15cndox.png http://i61.tinypic.com/6st5bb.png http://i58.tinypic.com/91av78.png http://i57.tinypic.com/5rbci.png http://i61.tinypic.com/346kjmb.png http://i60.tinypic.com/1o1tvd.png http://i61.tinypic.com/2119kar.png http://i59.tinypic...

As of now, GIT master includes a new addition: Bunnies! I adapted and included the model and texture ExeterDad kindly created and allowed me to integrate. As with all creatures, they will spawn as mobs around the world, and the player can possess one as a ghost to become one. Get the mod and try it ...

Awesome... I will gladly wait. Thanks!

They are animated. Just a stand, and a walk/hop animation. And five textures. But... I put in a pull request to mobs redo last night. Don't know if Tenplus1 is interested in them or not. I just want them available for folks to use. So if you would like to get them in the game, you are very welcome ...

Awesome! Is it animated, and is a model source available? I would love to integrate them into my Creatures mod as well, if you're okay with that!

Me testing Creatures mobs indoor and near a house:

Reworked much of the targeting logics again, and balanced the default creatures better. Mobs scan for nodes / creatures differently, and have more intelligent and optimal behaviors. The 'determination' trait now acts as randomization between targets within a priority threshold, making mobs who are l...

From what I wanted to say most quickly on the matter: Several years ago, I remember making a thread in which I discussed how engines like Minecraft / Minetest can be used not only as games, but as virtual spaces. Sure, they are officially labeled as games and usually seen as a pastime... but unlike ...

Oh... v5 supports them? I thought only v7 did. Does it work with the same biome definitions?

Possession of mice and sheep in my Creatures mod, which was re-implemented today. Also black sheep! More info here . http://i62.tinypic.com/20th2mq.png http://i59.tinypic.com/2s85yki.png http://i57.tinypic.com/211qikm.png http://i58.tinypic.com/sw8cif.png

Even more changes today. The inventory formspec and creature possession are now entirely defined by the creature set instead of hardcoded, and can be scripted to work in any way desired. Further more, people complained that you could no longer possess mice and sheep, an ability which was lost when t...

v6 doesn't support custom biomes. You're stuck with grass and desert areas... I don't see how it can be anything but boring.

Just fixed several bugs in GIT. Including the player being able to hold down the left mouse button to continuously punch a mob, which spammed damage / attack sounds and target calculations... they now only happen if the punch is older than a second. Do let me know if you try this on a server :)

GommeHD.net has 15.000 Okay it's not one computer. http://i.imgur.com/dpf1Bzr.png ... 15000 people online at once on a Minecraft server? That's... wow. Minetest will sadly never have that I imagine :/ That said, I'm pretty surprised Minecraft can possibly handle such a thing. Not only because it's ...

First of all, this is a very interessting mod. It adds a new aspect to the gameplay. But in the current version you cannot possess a sheep or a rat. The sheep drops wool and the rat gets picked up. I think this has to do with the change of the default behavior to possess. All other creatures show a...

I admit I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of activity this has. Was hoping to get more attention and testers by now, since I think the mod can be used for a large variety of worlds and ideas. I'd like to hear if any servers currently use this so I can try it out online as well. If not, and anyone h...

@MK: Are you using GIMP or what? I know that if you were to use GIMP, bump map might work nicely for you. Try using playing with it if you haven't already (that is assuming you use gimp, which you probably don't. But it does work surprisingly well for pixel art) If you don't, will you PM me the thi...

@MK: 1st one: I would do a blend of the two dirts. That way, it would seem a bit more realistic. I personally didn't like the old one... Also, the grass does need that contrast to it. It does add a sense of depth that really isn't there. But making it lighter is good 2nd one: Yes, I think it is goo...
