[Mod] Simple helicopter [helicopter]

[Pavel_S]

[h]Helicopter mod[/h]
Description:

This mod adds helicopter to the game.
Follow craft quide or just use "/giveme helicopter:heli 99" chat command. It has 30 HP points, and there in no way to repair it, when it will down to 0 you get 5 steel ignots and 1 mese cryslal. But if you restart the game, HP will be automatically set to 30 HP.
Also go to [url=goo.gl/1jx6gu]Helicopter on GitHub[/url], to write your issues or make pull request.

I used some sourcecode from:
boats modby PilzAdam;
TNT modby PilzAdam;
Throwing modby Jeija.




Craft:



Control:

Jump - up!
Sneak - down!
Forward - forward;
Back - backward;
Left - left;
Right - right.

[jin_xi]

uh oh wooden rotor blades... nice idea!

[Pavel_S]

Added Left-Right movement.

[Mossmanikin]

Like this idea.
Unfortunately when I test this mod the helicopter has no texture.
That way it's quite hard to see through the "glass"...
However, it's fun flying around with the heli. :D

[Evergreen]

Now that I just tested it, this is amazing! Best. Vehicle. Mod. Ever. :D

[Zeg9]

Nice, One detail though: the crafting should be a bit more expensive. Perhaps require a few mese in center of the recipe?

Added. Thanx.

Yeah, it will be more expensive, in next update.

[Evergreen]

The way the crafting should work in my opinion is: You have to make each part of the helicopter eg. the engine, the blades, the window, etc.

[tinoesroho]

Nice!

Pavel_S: Awesome!

Nice mod! I'm not sure what's happening exactly, but while everything looks great if I connect to my server (latest stable) using a client running 0.4.6, if I connect using a client running the daily build, only the rear propeller has a wooden texture. Everything else is solid white. Maybe a compatibility issue between the latest stable build and the daily build?

[Sokomine]

Nice mod! And a very nice helicopter model.

There seems to be a problem with the directx export for this model. For some reason It contains multiple copies of the same material list.

heli.x

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

      MeshMaterialList { //Cube_004 Material List
        1;
        1;
        0;;
        Material Default_Material {
           0.800000; 0.800000; 0.800000; 0.800000;;
           96.078431;
           0.500000; 0.500000; 0.500000;;
           0.000000; 0.000000; 0.000000;;
        }
      } //End of Cube_004 Material List


This appears first at line 144 then again at 342 and again at 1840.

This would not cause any problems with minetest because the multiple texture update support is broken in the current version.
I recently submitted a patch that would have allowed us to use multiple UV's & materials correctly, however, it has been reverted seemingly because it broke this model...shame.

Perhaps if I could see the blender model I might can figure why it was exported like that.

Why didn't you say it before your commit was reverted and 0.4.7 released? :/

It was too late by the time i firgured out what was wrong. Besides, I think PilzAdam did the right thing under the circumstances.

Pavel_S: Have you read these guidlines? http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Using_Blender

Nice mod btw, otherwise.

This is an awesome mod!! Easy to control and you can't just walk through the heli. Nice job.

EDIT: I've encountered a bug: if you fly too far away, another helicopter will appear where you launched the first one. The same thing happened with the boats mod.

Thats a bug in the engine. It happens with every entity: carts, boats, ufos, helicopters, mobs,...

[J-Block]

Ahh, ok then.

[Josh]

Make it so you can shoot missiles out of the helicopter, just a 2d projectile that damages players and mobs.

Pavel_S, Thank you for sending me a copy of the .blend for the helicopter.
The problem it seems is that you have exported the model with multiple objects, each of which has included its own material list, hence the three copies in the .x file. While this should not be a problem in itself, with my suggested patch applied, minetest is expecting to see three textures in the entity property table.

Since all the objects in your model are using the same default material then simply adding this makes it work with my patched version, without breaking compatibity with the current version.

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

    mesh = "heli.x",
    textures = {"heli.png","heli.png","heli.png"},


In my experience it is much better to join all objects into one single object and use named vertex groups instead, like the default character model for example. This way only one material list will be exported.

In addition to the guidelines given here: http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Using_Blender
Another good article (if a little dated) can be found here: http://www.binarymodular.com/main/articles.php?article_id=94

On an unrelated note there is problem when logging out from a server with the entity attached.
