[Mod] PlayerPlus (0.7)

[TenPlus1]

This mod changes the player speed depending on what they walk upon, stepping through snow or water will slow the player down, walking on ice will make them go faster, and as a bonus touching a cactus will hurt the player like in Minecraft... enjoy!

Updates:
- 0.1 - Initial release
- 0.2 - Added support for 3d_armor mod
- 0.3 - Optimized code
- 0.4 - Added player suffocation when head inside block (only solid "normal" nodes)
- 0.5 - Player walks slower in water
- 0.6 - Code tidy and tweak, increased damage caused by cactus and suffocation
- 0.7 - Added global 'playerplus' table to hold node names around player

API:

Every second the mod checks which node the player is standing on, which node is
at foot and head level and stores inside a global table to be used by mods:

- playerplus[name].nod_stand
- playerplus[name].nod_foot
- playerplus[name].nod_head

How about ice skates?
It would be funny to move around fast with those.

Thank you Ten for the solution and your comments in the code. This helps noobs like me to understand whats going on. :)

[Minetestforfun]

thank you for your work and share this mod !
Thank you also for your very detailed comments, i've make little changes for my own server ! :)

[Sokomine]

Sounds like an intresting mod for servers where the focus lies on survival. May fit well into the Adventuretest game.

[TenPlus1]

I've added a patch to 3d_armor mod so that PlayerPlus can read armor physics and adjust accordingly... Testing atm...

[davidthecreator]

Does it means armour can change player speed

[Minetestforfun]

i have found a compatibility problem with the mod "sprint", indeed, the after the beginning of the sprint, the player stop his sprint after 0.5/1 sec

[TenPlus1]

I will check out sprint mod and see if I can make them work together...

[Minetestforfun]

Thank you :)

(EDIT : so, for the moment i disabled your mod in my server, i hope you will update it soon for a quick re-activated)

[TenPlus1]

Minetestforfun: I've included and tweaked the Sprint code and included it in this special edition of PlayerPlus 0.3s for your server...

[Minetestforfun]

Thank you very much !

[TenPlus1]

0.4 update now has players suffocating when stuck inside nodes like falling sand/gravel etc.

[TenPlus1]

How would everyone feel if walking in water slowed you down too, forcing you to use boats to travel across it ?

Update: added and works fine :)

[Krock]

Well, water is not the best element to walk through, so it's logical to slow down.
But that's already included in the default nodedef, so I think it's not required to add it here too.

That makes sense. I say do it.

I wanted sprint support too, but both you and GunshipPenguin have made a lot of changes since your 0.3s release, so instead of bothering you to make the changes yourself, I've cobbled together the code on my own. It's a bit hacky, but I thought it'd be nice to share it. Feel free use anything you feel like from it.

I've added stamina support (including support for Wuzzy's Hudbars mod, using GunshipPenguin's textures), split some numbers out into initial configuration variables, and split the cactus damage into an ABM so it can affect other entities such as mobs.

[TenPlus1]

Thanks pilcrow, checking out additions now, sounds handy :)

[TenPlus1]

Udated to version 0.6

- Increased damage caused by cactus and suffocation
- Player now suffocates inside all solid "normal" type nodes
- Tweaked and tidied code

[wilkgr76]

This might be bit hard, but I'm not easy to satisfy...

How about slowing down the player too depending how full their inventory is? i.e. New players with an empty inventory can outrun me who is lugging around stacks of cobble, steel, etc.

[SaKeL]

Sounds like a good addition to the game, i will try it tonight on my server ;) Thx for all the good work.

[everamzah]

I like the suffocating in the nodes, but why not take a player's breath instead of their hearts?

[SaKeL]

haven't seen the code but good point ;)

[amadin]

Did this mod support ethereal boots?

[TenPlus1]

Yep, fully compatible with all of the 3d_armor mods registered armor.

[amadin]

I noticed it is not compatible with potions of speed (tested with Pep mod and with my potions mod). If use potion of speed (walking on the default dirt with grass) then speed not change.

[TenPlus1]

So many mods tinker with player settings like speed and gravity, it would be a nightmare to be compatible with them all... I went for the mod common which is 3d_armor.
