cool mod, nice textures

Do the arrows stick to blocks?

Posted: **Wed Apr 06, 2016 16:43**

not yet, but there is plans for it, and on players / mobs (if its not too much mess)

I fixed a error that made the bows have infer uses,and added a few other arrows,

I vote keep, as it can be improved over time if there is a base to work with.

Keep the collision-glitched arrows, they look good.
Make the entity only a cube at the tip of the arrow, so it will only collide with that part. Maybe that will help

I was shore it would not work at all on objects, but looks like it works really good on players

Posted: **Thu Apr 07, 2016 21:18**

It'd be cool if you had to pull the arrow out before you could move, and then you'd be poisoned (to simulate the wound) for a time.

(Though that looks more like a kill shot)

i had an idea of a toxic arrow too,
will add tomorrow:

toxic arrow (craft with papyrus)
tetanus arrow (craft with ?)

...
cotton / jungle grass can be really hard to find and takes long time to grow, but gravel and wood is everywhere, use leaves or saplings instead of cotton? until there would be added feathers for some reason.

From Wikipedia:

Tetanus is caused by an infection with the bacterium Clostridium tetani,[1] which is commonly found in soil, dust and manure.[3] The bacteria generally enter through a break in the skin such as a cut or puncture wound by a contaminated object.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanus)

So, an iron arrow mixed with a bucket of water to create a rusty arrow, with a 40% chance of infection?

I think that a leaf block would make more sense for the basic arrows than cotton, and perhaps move to wood/iron/diamond fins for more expensive arrows?

EDIT: The shooter mod has some really nice arrow movement, perhaps you could borrow some code from that?

added toxic / tetanus arrows

The toxic one will hurt randomly until it disappears,
and the tetanus makes you cant move, if you not punching it away (can stick for a while (at least 4 seconds))

Objects models will randomly disappears when they are detached (mt core bug)

Arrows will be move to the edge of the blocks without node box.

Awesome mod!
I tested it, and it's great, but arrows dont't hurt the dungeonmaster and the mese monster from mobs redo. Is it tested with mobs?
Other monsters and animals are ok.

Posted: **Wed Apr 27, 2016 12:31**

I testing the mostly mods i making (currently 36) with the mobs redo, and its easy to see the results, but i have no idea why the mese/don react like that.

If you don't have a crafting guide, you can take the recipe out of the source code.
Source: bows/items.lua, Line 155 and 173

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: 8x Wooden arrow: flint, [any stick], [any leaves] 8x Steel arrow: [any arrow], [any arrow], [any arrow] [any arrow], steel ingot, [any arrow] [any arrow], [any arrow], [any arrow]

Replace the steel ingot with gold, mese crystal or a diamond for different arrows.
Arrows with fire are crafted with: [any arrow], torch

Mmmh beside the missing Git repository...may it possible to make arrows re-usuable for you? :)

UjEdwin,
I would like to start by saying thank you! Your bow mod has provided my kids, and the whole neighborhood, with lots of fun. In fact, everyone was getting somewhat burnt out and then when I loaded your mod and they had rainbow arrows everyone was excited about MineTest again. So thank you.

I do seem to have found a bug. I am running on Linux Mint 18 using the standard repos which provide Minetest 4.13.

Hers is the error dump.
