[Modpack] Animals Modpack [2.5] -- 2.6 approaching

[legumev]

Is there any manual how to use MOBF?
I couldn't find it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist.

For example, my questions are:
1. how to catch vombie (hot to make vombie trap, what material is in middle?)
{'default:wood', 'default:wood','default:wood'},
{'default:wood', "animalmaterials:scale_golden",'default:wood'},
{'default:wood','default:wood','default:wood'},

2. how to catch wolf?
As far as I know with a bone, it will be tamed

3. what with animals, how to use them?
You can shave sheeps with scissors, get milk from a cow with a glass get feathers from a chicken, get meat from animals, probably there are more possibilities.

4. for what is used NET?
As far as I know/tried, catching fish and the rat. The lasso is used to catch the bigger animals. With the saddle you can ride an ostrich

Tnx.

Generally you can get info by reading the lua files of the animal modpack. Here you can find crafting recipes and the code what entities (animals) or nodes/craft(ed) items are supposed to do.
Recommended init.lua's: animalmaterials, barn, trap

I use the net to catch a wolf, then make it a dog
I kill a vombie with the sword, and put vombie traps around my houses. For the scale to craft the vombie trap, you must kill (with the sword) a gold fish.

You can ride ostriches?! O_O

Well, now I know what they're there for.

There really does need to be a readme or something for this modpack.

[Sokomine]

There's a very good README in the mobf folder of the modpack. It explains which mobs are there, if they are hostile, what you can do with them, which crafts there are etc.

Thanks! Didn't expect to find it there. Maybe it's an idea to move the README one directory/folder up.

[sapier]

Some information e.g. recips can be found here http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=629 too ;-).

Moving the README is a good idea, at least for zip files It'll be distributed in base folder.

Github version is recommended for ppl knowing what they do only. Those version contains lots of data not required for playing, thus the download is way bigger than required.

@korkut thanks for pointing at error reason I was already wondering why no damage was done anymore ;-)

[deivan]

My version of this mod, from git don't is full operational, have another link to a operational version? I have invincible monsters from sand, stone a another strange effects...

[Nebucad]

Hi,
I use the Mod and i love it but I got fierce problem with killing those Vombies.

4 Major things always happend:

* every now and again an Error-Message appears in form from "ERROR[ServerThread]: ServerEnvironment::deactivateFarObjects(): id=39 m_static_exists=true but static data doesn't actually exist in (-48,1,63)
WARNING: StaticObjectList::remove(): id=39 not found" - actually don't know if this mod cause those Errors.

* Vombies won't burn basically i hear the sound from them but no buring animations shows up

* muptiplie spawnd - vombies dont dissapear and followed by the next night 2 vombies share the same spot

* nearly impossible to kill those Vombies i made a steelsword and was hitting the vombie around 2 minutes than i just give up to kill him. at the same time i got hit from him have to heal up myself 2 times.

Well this seemd to me like some major problems or i just didn`t catch up how this mod works. I'm glad to get some hint. If you need more information just drop some lines i`ll get it for you.



EDIT:
Additional informations for my found problem:

Until a fix is done, you need to apply Korkut's workaround (see post 936) to kill mobs

I add the code like you posted on 936, thank you for your help this work right now fine.

[sapier]

I've just released first preview version of 2.1 plz start testing
known Issues:
mobf_settings -> Tools menu doesn't work correct (bugfix in minetest required)
fighting -> no harm is done to mobs ... not quite sure what I did wrong when switching to new damage mechanism ... any suggestions?

[Secret_Guy_3]

Would you mind adding boss mob?

[sapier]

no but the bigger the mobs the more difficult to get a at least somehow reasonable movement and I don't have any models for boss mobs ;-)

[deivan]

Maybe a boss-swarm-like (many small monsters)?

[sapier]

swarm movement is a quite interesting problem ... but even more complicated to get done in a at least somehow good looking way

[Sokomine]

Swarm movement...do you know about that automatic item pick? It is part of skyblock IIRC. Chop down a tree - and a horde of leaves will "attack" you and jump into your inventory. Stupid "moving at the position of the player" might do. Only...how to defend against them?

[deivan]

I thinking in many small monsters like the slime mod. :)

[Jouster27]

I noticed that the ostrich eggs were displaying as "Unknown". I took a look at the files and found the following:

animalmaterials init.lua

minetest.register_craftitem("animalmaterials:egg_big", {
description = "Egg (big)",
image = "animalmaterials_egg_big.png",
stack_max=5

...

animalmaterialsdata["animalmaterials_egg_big"] = {
graphics_3d = {
visual = "mesh",
mesh = "animalmaterials_egg_ent.b3d",
textures = { "animalmaterials_egg_ent_mesh.png" },
collisionbox = { -0.24,-0.25,-0.24,0.24,0.25,0.24 },
visual_size = {x=2,y=2,z=2},
}

mob_ostrich init.lua

random_drop = {
result="animalmaterials:big_egg",
min_delay=300,
chance=0.1

Not sure if it's supposed to be "big_egg" or "egg_big" but I've got a strong suspicion they're supposed to match. Would someone fix this, please?

let's look at old vombie

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

 armor_groups= {
   fleshy=3,
   daemon=1,
 }


Each key describe the "element" that can damage the mob. Number indicates the purity of the element, i.e. vombie has a "3" fleshiness which is ordinary, while "1" is highly daemonic. Lower the rating, lesser affected the mob by the element. My workaround maps ratings something like {33,50,100,133}. New code replaces ratings with straight percentages, so it is basicaly a damage multiplier for the given element now.

Now the steel sword in default common:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

tool_capabilities = {
full_punch_interval = 0.8,
max_drop_level=1,
groupcaps={
  snappy={times={[1]=2.5, [2]=1.20, [3]=0.35}, uses=30, maxlevel=2},
},
damage_groups = {fleshy=6},
}


It simply says 6 damage to ordinary flesh targets. So a hypotetical daemonic weapon with damage_groups = {daemon=9} would deal 33% * 9 = 3 damage and the steel sword will 100%*6=6 damage. You can add an "angelic" key with value 1000 to vombie and a garlic mallet with {angelic=1} would deal 10 damage.

Correct fix would be replacing rating definitions of all the mobs with balanced percentages.

[sapier]

Jouster27 you're right I'll fix this thx
korkut thx too I think I may have just to do some fine tuning with the values ... at least stone sword seams to do some damage

[Jouster27]

I'm getting errors while trying to capture a wolf (or dog, whichever the grey one is):

I got similar errors when trying to punch a vombie as well.

[sapier]

I've just released a new prerelease version of mobf.

Plz have a closer look at behaviour of vombie if you have latest core with pathfinding support.

2.0.81 is now feature complete, only polishing will be done until 2.1

@Jouster27 this bug should be fixed in 2.0.81 too

[Jouster27]

Sorry Sapier, dev 2.1 gives the following error:

I'll try the new 2.0.82 now...

[Jouster27]

Well, I tried 2.0.82. At least I can get this version to run but it still has the same problem. When I click the wolf with a lasso, the game crashes:

22:11:45: ERROR[ServerThread]: LuaEntity name "animal_vombie:vombie_spawner_at_night" not defined

In addition, I had the vombie spawning turned-on at one point but turned it off. Now I've got an unknown object that I can't get rid of.

Jouster27 fixed fighting crash in git version will be included in 2.0.83
