FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This modpack adds three different methords of flying, wings, jetpacks and flying carpets.

The mods use Wuzzy's player effects mod (viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9689) to give the player who uses the wings/jetpack the power to fly for a limited time. They can have craft recipes, or these can be disabled, so that the wings can only be got with giveme or through an admin shop on a server. Note, players with the fly priv are not able to use wings or jetpacks. A message is sent to them alerting them of this fact when they try to use one.

The code used for the Flying Carpet comes largly from the Helicopter mod (viewtopic.php?id=6183)

The mods can be configered through their config.lua files; it is worth having a look through them before you use the mods.



Todo:
Maybe make nicer textures for the wings, help would be appreciated!
Add an option that makes the wings and jetpacks take wear.
Maybe make more carpets with different textures...

Dependencies:
(Jetpack and wings)
playereffects
default? (For the crafting recipes.)
(Flying Carpets)
default

License:
MIT (Code of Jetpacks and Wings, textures and models.)
LGPL v2 (Code of Flying Carpets, as this is what I think the Helicopter mod uses, please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Fantastic, thanks! Just what I was looking for.

the wings look similar to death gliders

Added Jetpacks!
Pretty much the same as wings, but more mechanical, and slightly different crafts, see the first post. They are not really meant to run along side each other, but there is nothing stopping you! The one is meant for more magical gameplay, the other is for realistic/mechanical gameplay. Enjoy!

Never seen them before, so I got no insparation off them!

I'm glad you like it!

Yay! This is the first mod which uses Player Effects and which is not made by me.

This mod messes with the fly privilege, so be careful using this on servers, if you set the privilege manually. Please add this info to the main post.

Some suggestion: When the jetpack is active, create some particles below the player.

I've made it so players who have the fly priv cannot use the jetpack, and a message is sent to them if they try to use it. Thanks for pointing this out!

Great idea! I'll try and figure out how to do that...

Yes, same goes for wings. The problem is that fly priv is removed afterwards, whether the player had it before or not. I'll check out the new version.

Update: Added support for Wuzzy's mana mod!

Sorry to double post, but I have added a new mod to the modpack: flyingcarpet
No prizes for guessing what it adds!

A giraffe?

:P

Haha, flying carpets are a great addition, Amaz :)

Really nice!

I may be missing a setting somewhere, so far I only got the carpet working in singleplayer mode, the jetpacks and wings don't seem to work.

Plus the jetpacks are a bit pricey for a single use item, maybe have some way to recharge/refuel them once used.

On my server, I changed the recipe to use mese crystals and gold ingots. It works quite well that way.

Looks like I found out why the wings weren't working, I have to have flight mode turned on before activating them.

Now I can use them to help with building and exploring hard to reach areas.

I have seen his mod and have been looking for it. its cool! :D

WHAT? Never seen them?

Paradise for griefers!

Craft a flying carpet, hover over your archenemy's house, dump lava all over it, and fly away pretending you're not guilty.

I would never have that problem, I turn off the flying carpet part of the mod since I have trouble with the controls for it, and I get way too much lag with repeated crashing if I generate too many chunks at once while traveling around.

It would be awesome if the jetpack burned fuel instead of running on a timer, refueling instead of losing the item could be considered.


I don't know how hard it would be to do though.
