[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.34] [mobs]

[ufa]

are you taming the chickens with wheat seeds ? I've had the same chicken for a week on server and it's still there behind fence...

Yes. I give them 8 seeds, until they make sound and hearts particles sparkle from them. So I get them, and release on a fence square. They stay there for a while, but when I leave for something, they are gone.
I will try to keep them inside the house to see what happens.
Weird. Nothing on logs

The last time that happened to me with a sheep (in a big, closed room) it turned out that the sheep hadn't been despawned, it just vanished from sight. When I logged out and logged back in (after grabbing another sheep), it reappeared. The two would appear and disappear intermittently.

Hrm, strange indeed... I know that each map block has a limit of 48 entities so things like dropped items, itemframes, signs and even mobs add to the count and going over that limit will cause entities to be removed.

Quick Update:

- Animals will display a text message when tamed
- Cows display a text message if they have already been milked
- Code tweak and tidy

[ufa]

I will update my server to 0.4.13 to see if that bug persists.

[ufa]

Problem solved. I updated my server to version 0.4.13 and now,even with client 0.4.12, my pets do not disappear.
Thank you all for the help.

[TenPlus1]

Glad to hear things are working again :)

Update: Mobs api has been optimized a tad and nametag colours fixed on activate.

Updated to version 1.24

- Run away feature added when sheep/bunny/kitten/rats are punched
- Code tidy and tweak

Hi TenPlus1... are the sheeps growing wool by eating a grass ? i think mine don't :/

[TenPlus1]

Sheep will grow new wool but only by eating the long grass that grows on TOP of normal grass block or tall wheat.

[SaKeL]

ah ok, good to know, thanks ;)

[blackjack]

Is there any howto which describes, what the tamed animals need to stay healthy?
Which do need water, which don't?
Which kind of food do they need?

I managed to keep most of them fine. Chicken, sheep, cow, rabbit went fine. Source code helped a bit :)
But the warthogs always get hungry. Do they need to be fed manually?

[TenPlus1]

Mobs Redo has it's own wiki page: https://github.com/tenplus1/mobs/wiki

[blackjack]

I already read through this wiki. But I did not find anything, how to treat the animals once they are tamed.

Since I found 'horse out of water' or 'sheep out of water' messages in the server log, which lead to a lifetimer expired and despawn of the tamed mobs, I expected, that some mobs need special environment after taming ...
Am I wrong with this expectation?

[TenPlus1]

Those were debug messages in the github version while I was testing, the "out of water" messages can be ignored... Each mob spawned has a 3 minute lifetimer then it disappears, if tamed using foods listed in wiki the animal will not despawn and you can pick them up using magic lasso or net and place them back down again at a later date, also you can only use nametags on tamed animals.

[blackjack]

ok, great & thanks for your quick response.
That means, water is not necessary now.

But without food, hp decreases and the name tags become yellow and red before the mobs despawn.
Cows, sheeps and rabbits feed themselves, as long as grown wheat, grass and carrots are available.
When running out of grown food, they also start to decrease hp.

Chicken do not seem to get hungry. Or do they use the growing grass as food without removing it?
Warthogs do not touch any growing food, they just starve when not fed with apples or potatoes.

Is that status quo? Or did I get something wrong?

Am i the only one who gets this error after punching a mob ?

I get this error even in the new created world with no other mods activated.
What could be possible wrong with my game ?

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Looks like knock back part of the code:

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 self.knock_back > 0 then
local v = self.object:getvelocity()
local r = 1.4 - math.min(punch_interval, 1.4)
local kb = r * 5
self.object:setvelocity({
x = dir.x * kb,
y = 2,
z = dir.z * kb
})
self.pause_timer = r
end


maybe add
local dir ={}
above the local v part?

[everamzah]

I get that on CME when I turn mod_profiling on, too.

[TenPlus1]

Quick update:

- DIR crash when punching fixed
- Tidied code

[ufa]

Update: Added explosion routine for exploding mobs (and Dungeon Master)... Removed footstep feature (use replace instead)...

And for good show here's an exploding mob to try out, Davedevil's Creeper mod...

I am getting messages that "mobs tree monster.x cannot find mesh" and creeper never appears itself. I only know because I exploded when he's around :(

[mahmutelmas06]

Open creepers init.lua and change tree_monster.x to tree_monster.b3d

[benrob0329]

You could also try my edited version that is more faithfull to the original creeper mod:

[amadin]

Does last version of mobs-redo will work stable on 0.4.13 stable? I don't want to update minetest server but i want have latest version of mobs-redo.

[TenPlus1]

amadin: latest mobs redo should always work with 0.4.13 stable unless otherwise stated in update.

[amadin]

Animals sometimes disappear near player. Is this normal?

[TenPlus1]

each mob has a life timer that will eventually run out unless tamed (or attacking) and then they disappear.

Is there any way to disable mobs disappear if near players?

[TenPlus1]

I could add a check before they disappear to see if player is nearby.
