[Mod] Simple Mobs [mobs]

[Jonathan]

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You need the latest Git - both are outdated (compared to Git) and do not work with Simple Mobs.

What is "Git" and where can I get the latest one?

Thanks,
Jonathan

GitHub is a website that contains code of projects. Minetest is one of the ~2 million. projects there. You can get it here: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest

EDIT: There are over 3,862,506 repositories (projects).

Is there somewhere I can get the latest exe file? I don't want to try to figure out how to build the executable with the files on Git.

After downloading this version I still got the error - "ServerError: LuaError: error running function ‘on_step’: attempt to index a number value".

Just to let you know I don't get this error until I am in the game playing it. I almost wonder if it tends to happen when I am around a hostile mob, but that does not seem to always be the case. Additionally, I am using 64bit Windows 7.

Below are some of the last lines in the debug file.

The error occurs when a mob hist a player. For some reason a fix in object:punch() function dont work on some computers.
It works for me on linux and windows.

[stormrider2]

Maybe I can provide a bug fix? I'm a amateur programmer.

My friend (he had the same bug before) tested it with latest build from sfan5 and it works perfectly.

I would love for them to look more blocky.

If you or someone else could give me textures i will gladly add them.

It looks very nice!
But it has a too high resolution. It doesnt fit into the default game. 16x32 would be nice.

[Mito551]

oh, uhm. I'm not sure about making it smaller. ok then. I'll add it in my dwarves game anyway. i switched from mobf to your mod:)
so, i want to make two suggestions:
1) 3d sheeps
2) more peaceful mobs (1-2)

I dont like 3D entities because they are ugly because they are not animated and 2D is also from the original 0.3. So I will keep 2D mobs.
If you have ideas for peacful mobs than post it here. But i dont add mobs that are copied from MC. I also need textures for them that fit into the default textures (16x16).

[Mito551]

ok, got your point. ok, i'll think about it. what about bear? maybe horses? oh well, pigs, cows and sheeps are basic animals, there is nothing you can invent..

[Alfino]

How about wild version of MC animals, it's strange to look domestic animal roam freely in wild.
How about this :

• pig => boar
• cow => bull
• chicken => junglefowl

also as wild animal, they have chance to attack you when you attack them first, it will make hunting animal more challenging because they can counterattack you.

i was thinking about it. but you can't get milk from bull and chiken eggs from junglefowls..

[PilzAdam]

I will add some animals if you give me the textures.

i ran into a problem, which i didn't notice, because i thought i was because i had enable damage ticked off. nope, lava does damage. mobs don't. what's wrong?

Can you give more information. The mobs normally hurt you when they run towards you and stop in a range of 2 blocks.

yes, i understand that they *should* do exactly this. but they just don't. what kind of information do you need?

Just give as much as you can. A video would be best, but i guess its not possible for you.

[Mito551]

well. there is a monster. in the night. i walk to it. it runs after me, i run away. but when i stand, it approches me. and nothing happens. it just stands and stares

thank you for your quick responses.. i'm uploading a video right now.

the log says that i'm being attacked. damage is 0.

Of course you can. You can always get milk from any mammals and egg from any bird. It's just different then from domestic animal.

[Mito551]

well. you can't get cow milk and chiken eggs and i stressed it out. and these products are mostly used for cooking.

[Alfino]

It's just suggestion btw, I'm not force u to do that. also it's can be done with simple method : Change the cow texture with bull and chicken texture with junglefowl and you get it.

The core idea is about animal counterattack. In minecraft cow just run away like chicken when you hit them, it's unrealistic (even domestic animal sometimes attack you, when you do something wrong with them). So the player must ready when the cow they hunt getting MAD.

Same here, latest git for the mod, latest git for MT.

Also, what texture pack is that in your video? I like the dirt monster in particular.
