SPIDERMOB (lottmobs extracted)



I've extracted the spider mob of LordofTheTested subgame (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5578), and i hope it will give you fun ! :)
This mod is for server administrators who aren't programmers, or don't want to do the work themselves done in this mod.

So, it's a mod with just the spider, i've also make smalls modifications :
- updated the spider api.lua (better IA)
- adjusted her HP for a better average (now 15 to 30)
- her jump step (now can jump over 1 block)
- her drops for a better average and add raw_meat sometimes, much culture eats spiders after all (now 50% 1 to 3 string and 25% 1 to 2 meat_raw)
- add blood when hit
- add knock back when hit
- modified spawn, mostly in jungle. Be careful, they spawns in part on "jungle leaves" and "jungle trees" so, sometimes they falls in your head !

When i want to download, Windows detect "This connection is not certified". Can you post your codes on Github please.

Thanks

[Minetestforfun]

Don't worry about the warning message, it's normal, my SSL certificate isn't signed BUT my Pydio(FTP service used) is over SSL, it's a security protocol...
So, just ignore the warning, download the mod, and install it.

Indeed, you can see "Temporary link", i create a repository in Github when i can...

Some things to note here; most important credits goes to AspireMint for the spider model & texture and Pilzadam & BrandonReese for the mob's api. All other credits are redundant.

Ok,
Credits edit to display only the most important people, a sentence of thanks anyway remain to thank the team of LOTT

wow she can really jump high!

I want to configure for my game built around Paramat's "Catacombs Mod",
I want the spider mob to appear mostly when exploring the sprawling catacombs
so I changed the init.lua to this:

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

spidermob:register_spawn("spidermob:spider", {"default:cobble", "default:stone", "catacomb:cobble"}, 20, -10, 7500, 3, 31000)

Since I changed it tho,I havent seen it around...do I need to change something else too?
(Also, I dont know what the numbers indicate)
Any help is appreciated.

Hello Napiophelios,
in the api.lua you will find what the spawn values (and all the others) shall be:

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

function spidermob:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance, active_object_count, max_height, spawn_func)

20 = max_light, -10 = min_light, 7500 = chance, 3 = active_object_count, 31000 = max_height

As you can see, the chance to spawn a spider is relative low with a value of 1/7500.
If you lower this value, like I did it for testing in the extraction guide for this mod here, you will see much more spiders spawning on the nodes you defined. Of course, 60 is good for testing, but maybe a bit too much for a game :) You can also adjust the light values, maybe you want to be safe with placing lightsources (so max light should be lower) or you dont want the spiders to be spawned on mountains (there is also stone at the surface), so you maybe want to lower the max height value (maybe something around -20).

Thank you Xanthin, I think this info will go a long way :)

Hey man this mod is too.........
SCARY!!!!!!
I nearly died of fright once when I was on this server building my home on a nice little beach bordering a jungle, and all of a sudden....................
THAPALMARKXTHTRWERGDSXXTRTYREGDFHG!!!!!
Only luckily I had previously obtained /fly privilege from the server's owner (Username = Admin :D) on account of the trees being excruciatingly tall.
Never new how useful it was going to be.
The owner came to my place and took out the spider, but it still gives me the creepy crawls to even THINK of that.
