To get wool, you have to find sheep. I've had at least four hours of fun in minecraft just trying to get sheep to follow me home. With "synthetic" wool, I would just have hacked at some trees. Less of a challenge.

Mauvebic, your stuff is AMAZING! even with black&white it took us (two of us) 10 hours to build that mountain :p its the third peak, were hoping to build a chain of mountains stretching from -6K,0,-6K to near spawn :p Also realized just how screwed up entities are ATM - rarely but surely, when i fi...

Mauvebic, your stuff is AMAZING!

Oh, it was that one you published here :)

+1 Cool! I like the idea of a bot as NPC. Can you provide a link to the code? If pleople see your code, they may be better able to help you. Providing a link to the code is pointless: this is my first attempt at C++ in ten years and I never was any good with it to start with. The code is a horribly...

STILL no progress on the movement code! It seems to reside in localplayer.cpp, environment.cpp, client.cpp, player.cpp... I can't make heads or tails of it!

Help!

(But now I've changed the code so much, nothing less than a full description of the local player movement will help me, so ARRGGGH!)

Thanks for the tip, this would have taken me ages to figure out on my own. I have looked at dylibbbundler and will probably use it in this week.

I'm running 10.6 and won't change until my uber-mac-savvy bro tells me to.

Link to your xcode project please?

I play the regular Minecraft now and then, but this only makes me more interested in an open source version.

Oh, I did not know this. Then my builds are unusable :(

Sorry I don't know how to fix this. Are you all running 10.8 or some other version?

The solution may be doing an install on your own computer. For this you need xcode and macports, to start with.

Scared? :)

No, I'm quite immersed in my own projects. But if you want to try it yourself maybe I can help getting you started.

Having a mod that allows you to set settings mid game. I think it is called GUI. Anyways you could turn damage off or filtering off in the middle of building your house. Also it could allow the admin and the players on a multiplayer server to change the ssettings but have the decision for the admin...

Yes, it is possible. It is relatively easy to do.

Here you are:

Its compiled 32bit on osx 10.6.

I never understood that stuff with Java files: is the code readable in a file, or is it just real easy to decompile?

if i understand correctly (that the npcs will move, maybe follow a player, hit him/her if he gets hit, maybe even builds something) than i cant wait til this gets released That's the idea. There seem to be a lot of people interested in NPCs/AI, so I don't think you'll have to wait TOO long. (Progre...

There should be a way, but it's more like a hack than a real solution. Haven't tested it yet, for I'm not on my computer. In environment.cpp, from line 990, you got : core::list<v3s16> players_blockpos; for(core::list<Player*>::Iterator i = m_players.begin(); i != m_players.end(); i++) { Player *pl...

Mob's/Animal's: I do know that mobs and animal's are needed, so what about having 4 animals? The sheep could drop lamb, the cow could drop beef, the pig could drop some pork and the chicken could lay egg's + drop chicken. I'm not a fan of random farm animals (too Minecraft-y :P), although simple pa...

Ragnar wrote:yeah, thanks... btw, is it legal to mod sims 3 mobile, like fork it and make a free private game?

I think its legal to make a sims3-like game, but not to use the actual source code of sims3 (which is not available anyway, right?)

But now that I use a mutilated version of the minetest game, UDP works for the communication. Everything is done just as with a human player. I've already got most of this working, but from the position info I get from the bot player, he appears to be rapidly falling towards the center of the earth ...

I dunno, I'm mainly doing this to get familiar with the minetest c++ code, so I don't want to mix in lua.

Seems like jordan4ibanez has come a lot further than I on NPCs, but using a separate computer for running them opens up opportunities for really smart NPCs.

Very nice!

I've been thinking along those lines too, but I (like most people here, I guess) am busy with another project. I suggest you increase your familiarity with Minetest's internals by making some small change to farmesh and seeing if your changes produce the results you want. When you can present a work...

Whats an ABM?

What do you need IrishHillbilly?

It is the osx 0.4.4 version youre after, right?

Screenshots please!

I got lost and changed strategy: Writing a program myself that used the minetest protocol got too complicated, especially for two reasons: Minetest sometimes uses "split packages" that I haven't been able to decipher. There is a system for acknowledning and re-sending "Reliable" packages that I don'...

I hope no one of the talented people that are actually programming the game wastes their time with this.

Who the HELL cares if someone sees a particular combination of letters deemed nasty by some people?

What could be the worst consequences?

Weird that something this basic is left out in Windows. Did they forget, or was there a reason behind it?
