[Modpack] Creatures MOB-Engine [2.3.1] [cme]

[gsmanners]

They are creepy, and they always sound like they're right on top of you, but they hardly seem threatening. I even just killed one through a wall, recently (I think it was because I could reach them diagonally, but I'm not too sure).

[gsmanners]

I'm not too concerned about most mobs, but the sheep are getting a little too thick. I think this is because the function for limiting spawns does not survive server resets. The entities, however, will persist between resets. This may not be a huge deal for a multiplayer server, but this could easily give you thousands of mobs if you play in singleplayer mode for a while.

Maybe just reset the sheep lifetime if there's a player nearby. That might work out better than checking for groups.

Hmm, yes, the spawning control needs some more work... :\

And no, i would like to keep the "mates"/group thing for sheep, i will take a look at it and see what can be done for tweaking

[MANISGONE]

This mod is great but, how can I make them hit harder? They just seem so weak and unintimidating. I've looked in the lua but couldn't figure it out.

Edit:Nevermind, I'm an idiot...

[gsmanners]

Got a curious error just now...

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

22:23:04: ERROR[main]: ServerError: ...ome/genma/.minetest/mods/minetest/creatures/init.lua:57: attempt to perform arithmetic on field '?' (a nil value)
22:23:04: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:
22:23:04: ERROR[main]:    ...ome/genma/.minetest/mods/minetest/creatures/init.lua:57: in function 'func'

And, of course, line 57 is the + 1 thing in this block:

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

            if obj then
               creatures.spawned[m_name] = creatures.spawned[m_name] + 1
               minetest.log("action", "Spawned "..mob.." at ("..pos.x..","..pos.y..","..pos.z..")")
            end

I think the problem there is something to do with the minetest.after and the use of m_name across that boundary. I suspect that the after clause doesn't really have a clean set of pointers to work with.

[LuxAtheris]

May I ask if how do you use the spawners? Cause I cant seem to see any zombie to spawn by it.
Thanks in advance. :D

[gsmanners]

The zombie spawner has range = 17, max = 6, light level = 7. Most light sources are 13, so you'll need darkness around the spawner. The range is used for counting the mobs (I think you can have a total of max within the range). You'll also need a couple of air blocks within 5 blocks of the spawner for any new mobs to appear.

[LuxAtheris]

So how do you exactly use it? Can you give me any example, because Im very confused.

[gsmanners]

Well, you put a spawner into a dark room and wait. If the area isn't dark, then you can wall it up.

[Inocudom]

I recently noticed a fatal flaw with this mod; either there ends up being way too many sheep/ghosts/zombies, or too many spawn at one time. Also, why are zombies immune to mesecons pressure plates?

[heavy gale]

My server went down with the same error as gsmanners posted.

EDIT: I just saw this already got fixed.

[BlockMen]

Update! Version 1.1.3 released

Changelog:
- Fixed crash caused by spawning control
- Prevent the mobs flood once and for all (confirmation request)
- Drop items aswell when settings define max lifetime (item_entity_ttl)

[TG-MyinaWD]

Hey BlockMen I am making a game mode and was wondering how do, I make the Zombies don't die when it come day.

Since I am making a Horror game. well I got loads of ideas for it. but all I can say the theme of the, place is B&W.
No color at all. Just Black and White. same for the player skin. And I liked have zombies so I was wondering how I make them can spawn in day and don't die.

Remove this line: https://github.com/BlockMen/creatures/b ... e.lua#L197 and change "or" in L196 to "then"

Texture guide for sheep.

The muzzle is inverted relative to the rest of the face and legs deforms pixels.
The tail is set on the right side of the abdomen, we can not change it.

example :

[DS-minetest]

Ghosts only spawn at night-time and they don't spawn underground. They are flying in the world and attack you aswell if they notice you.
Ghosts have 15 HP and don't drop any items atm (might be changed if i have an idea what they could drop; suggestions welcome).

let them rarely drop souls

Why sheeps don't drop meat when die?
I take meat from another mod:

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 s2_drop = "mobs:meat_raw"
      if self.object:get_hp() < 1 then
          creatures.drop(my_pos, {{name=s2_drop, count=math.random(0,1)}}, dir)

And i was dissapoint, that zombies don't activate pressure plates from messecons.
Sorry for my english. Thanks for the nice mod.

Hello
Since Yesterday creatures is not working anymore.
If I only enable it in a normal minetest game I get the following screen.
Pink screen and only one inventory Field. I am using the latest Version of the Mod and of Minetest (github) to.
There is no error message for it in the Terminal or the Log File.
How can I get it back to work?
Thanks,
JPR

Pink Screen with defective Inventory Bar.

This is my first time using creatures, granted it does not stop the server like mobs does. I have tweaked it a bit:

-- Max number of mobs per mapblock
creatures.zombie_max = 1
creatures.ghost_max = 1
creatures.sheep_max = 2


I have also noticed it doing it with the farming mod so I am not sure where the issue is where it floods like this.....


Well my edit didn't go so well and all I changed was the part I showed...... now I get this:

2 soul shard for one soul stick
9 soul shard for one soul gem

soul stick + soul gem =iron class soulgem tools

Thank you for your work !

How about ghosts having a chance of 1/32 of dropping a gold nugget

Just make every ghost drop a Mese crystal fragment, don't be into Minecraft-like silly randomness.

[Minetestforfun]

Your code is very strange, every other mobs mod has a simple and easy reading, your code is very different...
I use your mod in part, it works perfectly, but i want changes a lot of things like monster hp / damage / drop, can you explain me where is the lines for make these changes ?
