FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Includes:
a fish (can be cooked or eaten raw),
fishing poles,
worm (bait),
sushi

To get worms for bait you must dig in dirt (without grass) by hand. There is a default 30% chance that you will find one. This can be configured in init.lua, as well as the chance of catching a fish. Or, you can use "/giveme fishing:bait_worm".

To catch a fish, use a baited fishing pole on a water node.

Depends:
To craft a fishing pole: (or you can use "/giveme fishing:pole")
ropes or moreblocks or farming
I suggest using my modified version of ropes. Get it here.
This also modifies moreblocks:rope to be used as ropes:rope -- which is really handy.
To craft sushi: (or you can use "/giveme fishing:sushi")

I'll try to reproduce the error and find a solution. What did you do before getting that error?

Got a rod, got 99 worms, crafted rod with worm and pressed right mouse button on a water block.
Ropes wasnt sufficient so I have both them and moreblocks. Could that be the reason?

No, I have both ropes and moreblocks installed, so that's not the problem. When I right-clicked, I threw the rod into the water. But I did reproduce the error message by left-clicking in the air. I think the problem is when the on_use() function is passed nil for it's pointed_thing parameter. ... Ok, I think I solved the problem by modifying the baited pole's on_use function to:


I'll replace v0.1 in a moment, but you can just copy and paste this instead of downloading it again, if you wish.

I posted a video of the fishing mod in action on YouTube.


EDIT: Upload of bug-fix complete.

Now it's "Ok".
+1 more ;)

Is it possible to not have to "point" at the water node? I mean It would be nice to have a... bobber (or a "float"? I don't know an English equivalent to "поплавок"... Google isn't helping at all too.)
Player can "throw" that using scheme from "throwing" mod and if that lands in water then he need to wait some random time before the bobber goes underwater and then he must pull (rightclick).
If you're up to it I can provide some more details ;)

Thanks for helping me find that bug!

Yeah, I think that would be possible. But, It would take me a while to code and I wanted to avoid the necessity of waiting while fishing. If I include it it will be optional so that you can change the way it works back and forth easily.

Awesome! Just epic, been wondering if a fishing rod would be possible. +1 :D

maybe if your bobber hits land you could pull yourself there like using the middle button or right-click

Nah, that sounds too much like a grappling hook. Speaking of which, someone might be willing to build a Minetest grappling hook. It probably wouldn't be good for servers, but it might be interesting in single player mode.

Grappling hook you say?.. That reminds me of the Batman 8)
If I remember correctly we can bind entities together since not so long ago... I'll be back soon enough ;)

PS: configurable = awesome!

I agree. Customization is a cornerstone of good software, that's why I love this game and why I use Linux.

I'm about to upload a new version with some small fixes. I forgot to check if other mods were installed before using them so they effectively become dependencies. I fixed that. I also added support for farming mod's strings. Two strings and two sticks will make a fishing pole. I'm just going to double check everything and then upload it. I'll edit this post when its done.

[EDIT:]
Ok v0.2 is up; I also added to ropes to be able to craft them from farming strings. But, I'll upload that some other time... I got lots of homework to do.

Not work for me . Help

What went wrong?



----------------
I just uploaded the new modified ropes and added a link to the original post.

Help! Rainworms keep to fill up my inventory. Can you make it so that they will disappear when placed on dirt_with_grass or dirt? Living worms ought to try to dig themshelves back in :-)

Ok, That's a good idea. You can also /destroy them. I'll add that after I finish my homework.

this is cool now i want to test it +1

Like it!

Any progress on the rainworms? Also, it might be nice if fishing took a while, although I don't know how that could be accomplished in a convincing way :-( Maybe "plant" the fishing rod at the shore and make it change color/give it an animated texture once a fish got cought?

this mod will not run! i tried it and it said that there was an error and it will not let me play the game until i take the mod off. please help.

Post the exact text of the error message.

You can copy it from .../bin/debug.txt

You should add a depends.txt.

Try Mossmanikin's fishing mod, he based it off this one, and it is very nice.

any of the fishing mods that work for multiplayer cause in multiplayer it doesn't really seem to work :/

Ethereal mod has a built in fishing feature that's simple and works fine on multiplayer servers...
