[Mod] Zombie Waves [0.1] [zombie_waves]

[qznc]

Lots of Zombies! And they are coming straight for you.

Based on Simple Mobs. They are supposed to come in waves, but fine tuning is difficult.

What The Hell! They Are So Many

[PilzAdam]

Nice.

[Doyouseemysword?123]

What do i name the file?

[prof-turbo]

You died
You died
You died

I think I'll make a minetest game with that mod !

[lonely]

You died

Players vs. zombies possibly (plans vs. zombies in minetest)?

[qznc]

I was aiming for a cooperative fighting experience. Inspiration from Left 2 Dead and Serious Sam rethought within Minetest. I believe minetest will never be a good engine for a shooter, because low latency/fast reaction is not a goal of sandbox games. Nevertheless we can use different weapons. Melee, bombs, traps. More tower defense like.

How do you start the zombie wave?
EDIT: Nevermind, gone back to game only to find I died

[deivan]

I have some overhead here some times...

[King of Doom]

When I use the mod, it gives me multiple errors. But since all of you could have it work, what is wrong?

[deivan]

Please, report your error messages.

What do you call this file?!!!!

"zombies"

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

failed to load and run /home/2232/minetest/bin/../mods/zombie/init.lua

I renamed the folder "zombie".

[EDIT:] I just needed to ad an 's', to make it "zombies".

[ak399g]

The zombies spawn and pursue me in waves as expected; however, they do no damage upon contact.

EDIT: Not only do they do no damage, but other mobs do no damage as well.

[ak399g]

Problem identified: I had a number of other mods running, so I went through to see if one of them was responsible.

The issue stemmed from my armor mod. I disabled it and started receiving damage again. I think this mod is in the clear.

[ak399g]

Alright, so here's a legitimate question:
I'm in the .lua looking at the section that begins

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

mobs:register_spawning_mob({
    resource_name = "zombies:zombie",

I'm able to edit the light_damage so that they die eventually in the daytime, but the problem is they also would die when exposed to torches and other such things. Is there a way for them to die off in the daytime, but not when exposed to artificial light?

You can try the technic solar panels, They only work with sunlight, I have tried torches and other light sources with them, but they don't work unless there is sun. How they do it, I haven't looked into but you may be able to figure it out.

[ak399g]

peeking into the lua (below for link) the technic solar panels use a combination of light sensitivity (to make sure they don't work in the dark), time of day (to make sure they don't work at night) and position (to make sure they don't work deep underground). (they even admit to it being tricked by putting light sources inside a building/cave during the day). I'm guessing I could nab that time_of_day bit and stitch it into some despawn parameters.

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

    local light = minetest.env:get_node_light(pos1, nil)
    local time_of_day = minetest.env:get_timeofday()
    local meta = minetest.env:get_meta(pos)
    if light == nil then light = 0 end
    -- turn on panel only during day time and if sufficient light
    -- I know this is counter intuitive when cheating by using other light sources underground.
    if light >= 12 and time_of_day>=0.24 and time_of_day<=0.76 and pos.y > -10 then
    local charge_to_give=math.floor(light*(light*0.0867+pos1.y/130*0.4333))
    if charge_to_give<0 then charge_to_give=0 end
    if charge_to_give>26 then charge_to_give=26 end
        meta:set_string("infotext", "Solar Panel is active ("..charge_to_give.."EU)")
        meta:set_int("LV_EU_supply", charge_to_give)
    else
        meta:set_string("infotext", "Solar Panel is inactive");
        meta:set_int("LV_EU_supply", 0)
    end
end,

Thanks!

EDIT: well hang on.
In the init.lua for zombies, I come across this:

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

            local do_env_damage = function(self)
                local pos = self.object:getpos()
                local n = minetest.env:get_node(pos)

                if self.light_damage and self.light_damage ~= 0
                    and pos.y>0
                    and minetest.env:get_node_light(pos)
                    and minetest.env:get_node_light(pos) > 4
                    and minetest.env:get_timeofday() > 0.2
                    and minetest.env:get_timeofday() < 0.8
                then
                    self.object:set_hp(self.object:get_hp()-self.light_damage)
                    if self.object:get_hp() == 0 then
                        self.object:remove()
                    end
                end


so it looks like they are supposed to combust in the day. huh.

[ak399g]

Just finished testing. Seems like the mod that prevented me from being damaged also prevented them from being damaged. Once again, this mod is in the clear.
I sorta feel like an idiot now.

At any rate, I love how they jump randomly. It A.) intimidates you; B.) overwhelms you with bodies; C.) allows them to jump on top of each other to climb over high walls, and; D.) climb hills. Granted, point 'D' will become moot with 0.4.8, but that doesn't matter.

Only thing I wish they could do was smash through doors and windows (glass). Because you can select and hit them with your sword through doors and windows, I only wish they could try to do the same to you by breaking what should be weak material.

If you want even more zombie horror try the zombies game which adds a couple more zombies and is generally harder.
