FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Play soccer on Minetest!

This currently only provides the ball; the actual logic for implementing a match will be implemented in the future. For now, you can use Mesecons Wooden Pressure Plates along with some logic to at least handle scoring. Goals are also provided but have no functionality.

You can push the ball by standing near it, and kick it by holding the "sneak" key (by default "Shift"). The ball will get pushed/kicked in the direction the player is facing (you can center-on the ball by looking up).

^ Whipped up a (very horrible) texture for the ball, you could use it for now

I got a mod error when I placed the ball. Debug:

I didn't see that error because I use latest git (it should be minetest.env:get_objects_inside_radius instead of the new minetest.get_objects_inside_radius).
Fixed in git. Please download again.
Thanks for reporting.

damn it this mod!!!! really freakin awesome!!!

Cool mod, the crafting recipe could be:
c = coal lump
w = white wool
x = empty

xwx
wcw
xwx

Update!

• Cleaned up code.
• Ball now bounces on floor (still buggy).
• Added new line decals to draw the field (not craftable ATM).
• Added new texture for the ball (thanks ecube!).
• Added crafting recipe for ball (thanks 12Me21!).

See first post for download links and a new screenshot!

While in general I don't like soccer at all... love this idea :D

Thanks!
I also don't like *real* soccer, but I'm trying to make new minigames for servers that want to adopt them.
Actually, this started as a silly test to implement friction in entities (the ball gradually stops while on ground).

Just tested it a bit;
surprised how well shooting/pushing the ball works.
No bugs found (minetest-0.4.6-ab43377-win32, creative).
Like it so far.
I think this could be really fun in multiplayer.

Yep Me Too And This Mod Really Nice

It will not work for me why???

Try renaming the folder to just 'soccer'.

If that fails, follow these instructions: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5073
But instead of creating a new topic, post here.

He can't rename it to football, because there is another sport called "Football" in the united states. It would cause confusion.

We call it 'fútbol' here (sounds like "football"), but as Evergreen said, "football" means another sport in the US (which is kind of silly I should add; most of the game is played with the ball in hands).
