[Mod] Bows with arrows V7 [bows]

[ExeterDad]

Just a guess as I don't have the mod installed on this machine... is TNT enabled?

[ServerDad]

ExeterDad,
Good question. I assumed so, but just checked and yes the default TNT is enabled. I also placed a few TNT blocks and lit them to check for their correct operation. All is well with TNT.

[AiTechEye]

Fixed!

the mod should auto disable tnt when its off or removed, but a bug (idk if its a mt core thing)
told enable_tnt was nill what ever i did, so now its ignored

changed the license to CC0 (let you do what ever you want with it [i will not care])

[ServerDad]

UjEdwin,
Thank you very much!

I love your work! These bows are very elegant. I'm however getting an error that crashes the server (running 0.4.14) Any idea how to fix this?

When i am going to shoot left click, for some reason don`t i get to shoot.Is this error?

Just to be sure, you have your arrow in the adjacent slot to the left of your bow?

UjEdwin, do you plan to upload this on a git host?

UjEdwin, do you plan to upload this on a git host?

Do i have to put your arrow only in the left slot, and no right slot?

[AnxiousInfusion]

I just tested it and, yes, arrows will only load into the bow by being in the slot left of the bow in your hot bar.

[AiTechEye]

1: Yeah, the bows load arrows from the left side, becaouse its more realestic :-)
2: I dont have github, and tried it 3 times, just messing, but you can upload it if you want Its CC0 license, you can do what ever you want with it.

3: The "boom" error refers to there is an error in the games\minetest_game\mods\tnt\init.lua
because that function is used by the bows mod. it dont giving errors when im testing, and i have no idea what would make it...
But of course all bugs should be fixed!

Your mod is amazing!
Standard arrows does not use the new TenPlus1's damage system that use "health" instead of "hp", while the explosive and the toxic arrow do.
Could you please do something about it? Because we would like to add some bows to nssm using your mod...
Thank you!

[AiTechEye]

I really dont know how to fix it, i have always used the set_hp() + punch( puncher, hp )
And when a puncher have to punch it self, it often causing errors.
and the other problem is i have not coded for a few months = forgetting how to code...

If you put the mod on Github we will make a pull request for it! Thank you!

What are you Github for?

[Blunt]

First of let me say that I really like this bow mod.

I use this mod with "mobs redo" and notices that the arrows don't trigger damage sounds on mobs or any indication, they do die though, also the mobs don't leave drops when killed with a arrow.

could this be fixed? especially the last one (the drops).

[Inocudom]

This here is a very fun weapon to play with. Its targets make for good decorations and its rainbow items have effects that are eye candy.

[AiTechEye]

i using mobs redo too, and cant play without them :-)

the punch system should be fixed now, and the arrows will disappear with the objects.

[Blunt]

I tried your new version and can confirm that mobs redo now plays damage sound and drops the usual items on death.


Many thanks for your work, this is now my favorite bow mod!


Perhaps picking up arrow's is a interesting feature for the future, but regardless I enjoy your work and appreciate the wide variety of different materials that this mod uses.

[HolgiB]

Thanks for this great mod !
I love shooting with arrows at mobs is much since its much more fun than using only swords. :-)

Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with my version of Minetest and the TNT arrows.

When shooting TNT arrows against a monster (possibly when I hit the monster) minetest bombs out with the following message:

I am running Minetest 0.4.13 which is the vanilla version provided with Ubuntu 16.04. Is this a known issue ?
The TNT mod is available with the Minetest package per default. I checked this.

[AiTechEye]

That tnt have been messing up for a while, but i'm hopefully it's fixed now

V5:
Fixed crash when using tnt arrows (hopefully)
Fixed arrrows disappear on node hit
Added drops after objects death or dug node (if not timed out)
Added slow down arrows step after hit (5 setp/s instead of 20) [saves a lot of cpu]

[HolgiB]

The fastest developer ever :-D

+ 1

Thanks a lot.....I will test Bows V5 this evening and see if the issues is fixed !

Have a nice weekend !

[HolgiB]

Hm.....V5 seems not have changes too much. Minetest bombs out when I shoot a TNT arrow at a monster with this error stacktrace:

I should add that inside mods tnt is visible but I can neither enable nor disable it. It seems that it is store inside the Minetest folder rather than ~/.minetest/mods.

HTH,
Holgi

[AiTechEye]

now it should be fixed: replace explode with burning tnt if it messing

[HolgiB]

Yes it is fixed. At least it does not crash but draws a burning box with tnt written to it.

I guess the intended behaviour would be that the error explodes when hitting an enemy, right ?

What is the major problem with my version of Minetest, TNT and your Bow mod ?

I do not get it but am no expert in Lua or Minetest mods :-)

[AiTechEye]

the problem is the arrows cant use the tnt api for some reason, but now it works like this.

if tnt mod path exist: add tnt arrows
if tnt api is able: make explosion (tnt.boom)
if not working (tnt is missing): place "tnt:tnt_burning"
if the last node not are "buildable to" (like air, water, grass) remove the arrow

[HolgiB]

Thanks for your detailed explanation !

Two last questions:
#1 Where can I grab the right version of the TNT mod with working API that usually should work with your arrow mod ?
#2 (Somewhat related to #1) Do you think a possible issue could simply be that the version of TNT included with the Minetest package under Ubuntu is simply incompatible with your mod ?

My idea would be simply to delete the TNT files inside the Minetest installation and add the "right" TNT version under ~/.minetest/mods/tnt

[AiTechEye]

https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/tree/master/mods/tnt

need to download
https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game

if it wont work is it just to wait, because i plans to make a explosion function to the mod instead of messing with tnt
and add 1 or 2 very special arrows, when im learn to use voxel / area (im not a mathematician at all)

[HolgiB]

Thanks a lot...if I find the time, I will have a look at. Otherwise I will simply wait for the next update.

Even if this is a bit OT: I listened to some of your music tracks on YT and liked them. Nice "trancy" style.

[AiTechEye]

done
now you dont need the tnt mod at all

V6:
Changed craft for TNT
Added: Nitrogen arrow
Added: Nitrogen TNT arrow
Added: Nuke arrow
(added explosion api)

[HolgiB]

Thanks for the update !

I had a quick yesterday at the mod and was wondering that in creative mode TNT arrows were missing. They were available with the last versions. Do I have to craft them first prior using ? Sorry for the possibly stupid question but I am somewhat a minetest / minecraft newb :)
