[Mod] Simple Mobs [mobs]

[cornernote]

now that i have a version that runs this, finally got a chance to have a play and give some feedback.

1) this is awesome

2) the monsters seem really hard (random) to kill. they only have 1 hp, and i may have to hit them 50 times to do a damage. i assume better weapons give a better kill chance. can the monsters have 10hp, and each hit does ~1 damage? That way i know there is about 10 hits to kill one. when i get a better weapon, it could take 2hp per hit, etc.

3) i think someone mentioned it before, but being able to push them back a little would be good. maybe every 2nd or 3rd hit pushes them back a tad.

I was curious about your and Josh textures so I extracted them and looked at the png. Then I decided to see them 'live'. Unfortunately I got this error. I used the download: PilzAdam-mobs-b687ddf

The error in debug.txt is:

09:30:31: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error running function 'on_step': attempt to index a number value
09:30:31: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:

As far as I good see on the png files I don't think your textures need (much) improvement. I like the idea that they have the same color as their spawning material. Maybe the dirt monster needs more 'camouflage' and the stone monster less 'mossy'.

Josh, your monsters look nice, but still very similar too the originals. You could consider making them completely different. Good you're making textures!

edit: the usual typo's

Thank's for the feedback Topywo. Glad you liked them.

[Josh]

I have made some new texture's. Topywo suggested i could make them a bit different from there original texture's so i did. This download only includes sand & dirt monster here it is. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102401091/textures2.zip
This time they have a camoflauge on them. Check it out & see what you think.

They have more than 1hp... Note stone monsters are resistant to hands and wooden swords.

Dont just make them a "bit" different. Make them completly different. The textures from me are just the player textures with some dirt/sand/mossycobble looking.

here is another bug:

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

Im gonna stick a picture of a gun on the bad mobs so it looks like there holding a gun. Would that be cool?

[cornernote]

i'd rather see them holding a melee weapon, like a mace or a club or something

[Feorth]

I've been using this mod for a while and today a noticed that a dirt mob was acting a little strange, like it was going straight in one direction and didn't stop even when i started to hit it. When i killed the mob that happened:

And the empty node kept moving... That's not really an issue i just wanted to let you know.

Rename the mod folder from "pilzadam_mobs" to "mobs".

Guns are too modern. They should be misshapen, ugly and slimy monsters.

The image seems to be broken but i know this bug. Sometimes the Minetest engine stops to handle entities. Then they just keep going, cant die and dont react on rigthtclicks.

There is a error in the windows build so the first error only occurs in windows. If you want to remove all the old mobs after deleting the mod use

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

/clearobjects

This will delete all entities.

Hello PilzAdam,

nice changes upstream, I especially like that the sheeps are now
drowning. What I think needs tuning is the sheep sound.
It occurs quite too often.

Also the enemies give me damage even when they are not touching me. Sort like a harming aura. I think it would be more reallistic for them to not harm you if they can not reach you.

Another thing I noticed was that often times when I kill a sheep,
a puff of smoke will appear and the sheep is still there.

Thank you for your good work.

Thats an engine bug.

Ive tested it myself on windows and everything works fine.

Mobs or mintests?

PilzAdam,


I have the error - "ServerError: LuaError: error running function ‘on_step’: attempt to index a number value" and I tried the following versions:
minetest-0.4.3-4a11323-meta_set_nodedef-win32
minetest-0.4.3-win32

Do you use minetest on Linux? If so, this might be a Windows issue and not a Linux issue.

You need the latest Git - both are outdated (compared to Git) and do not work with Simple Mobs.
