[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.34] [mobs]

[Nathan.S]

add not_in_creative_inventory=1 to the groups, that would make them not show in creative, but still exist when captured with the net.

[redblade7]

add not_in_creative_inventory=1 to the groups, that would make them not show in creative, but still exist when captured with the net.

There is no group in register_mob, and adding "groups = {not_in_creative_inventory=1}" has no effect, unlike register_node in other mods.

[zing269]

There is an additional 5th parameter available for the register_egg function, no_creative. So if you modify the register_egg line in kitten.lua file to be mobs:register_egg("mobs_animal:kitten", S("Kitten"), "mobs_kitten_inv.png", 0, true) then the kitten egg should not be available in the creative inventory.

There is no group in register_mob, and adding "groups = {not_in_creative_inventory=1}" has no effect, unlike register_node in other mods.

Actually Nathan I found from api.txt that if you add "true" as a fifth field to register_egg, it prevents the mob from showing up in creative inventory.

One problem though - when in creative inventory, the mob isn't removed when dropped, which still allows for griefing (though makes it harder). Is it possible to remove the mob when you drop it rather than leave it in inventory? I've noticed with creative mode that with some mods this happens and with other mods it doesn't, so there must be some setting.

[TenPlus1]

Update:

- Added 'mob_show_health' flag to minetest.conf to hide health status when punching mob.
- Few bugfixes addressed with line of sight attacks.

[Christian9]

Is it at all possible to make the spawners only spawn baby mobs?

[TenPlus1]

Updated to 1.33:

- Added functions for players to ride mobs (thanks to blert2112)

... here's an example horse mob you can try for yourself (updated 30th Dec 2016):

[Fixerol]

Very nice!

[ExeterDad]

Awesome! Mobs Redo has come a very long ways :)

[FreeLikeGNU]

now if only there was a way to attach the bone of one mob to a bone of another mob...

[D00Med]

Great! Nice to see lib_mount merged in

[Bread]

It is a great function to ride a mob but I found bugs.

I am standing on a horse after using a bed when I am riding the horse.

I have lost my saddle after exit a game while I am riding a horse.

[TenPlus1]

Some quirks to iron out still :) e.g. saddle loss, player sitting when horse killed by mobs etc.

Update: horse example above updated to fix known issues :) saddle drops when horse dies, player disconnects from horse properly on death.

[echosa]

What's the difference between your horse example and the mobs_more_animals horse? I currently have mobs_more_animals in my game. Do I need to replace its horse with yours?

[Chibi ghost]

I cracked up when I looked up from building and saw a wild chicken get raptured

[Griiimon]

Would it be possible to create a spawn method, that spawns a bunch of mobs instantly as soon as a new chunk is created?

I find it annoying when animals pop up in an area i already searched and found empty. So far from what i figured, the spawn methods provided can't accomplish this.

[TenPlus1]

echosa: the mobs_more_animals horse is from kpgmobs and can still be ridden using lib_mount, but the horse example uses mobs redo's own riding functions as a test :)

Griimon: maybe I could play with lbm's to spawn mobs in specific areas of map as they are loaded instead of an abm which is checking for spawns all around player.

[Griiimon]

I'm just starting to get acquainted with modding mintest, so this might be a stupid idea but how about:

- option to set chance to appear for mob by biome mob_cow: [ "Grassland", 20%], "Iceland", 0%]
- set group size/ how many to spawn in a map block, if chanced
- using minetest.register_on_generated(), determine if generated block is not entirely underground, get biome id and loop through all animals. if random(100) < chance look for random spot to spawn group

Btw, this API rocks. Your work is much appreciated.

I getting some warnings on my client while playing with this mod. The warnings even occour while playing on a dedicated server.

If you know what caused this, you may fix them some day. It seems the unknown chunk exist only in some mobs_monster.

Its a realy great collection of mobs that runs fine without any lag. Congratulation :)

Hi TenPlus1,

I know that since a few versions ago, mobs_redo has a good pathfinding thanks to the integration of rnd's smart mobs function. However, this is used mostly on the attack functionality of mobs. I think it would be extremely useful if this could be refactored to create an API for pathfinding, meaning, one could give a specific position at some point to the mob and the mob would try to reach it using the already built pathfinding method. Do you think this would be possible?

As I'm using mobs_redo for a NPC mod, pathfinding became very tricky for me. I wanted to use this functionality but was unable to figure out how. Maybe you can do it :)

Thanks!

Hi,
I like to know if mobs arrows can be rotated appropriate on shoot? Any advice? see screenshot and arrow definition.



Arrow definition looks like that. I trying reuse throwing:arrow_box entity.

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_arrow("mc_mobs:arrow", {
   visual = "wielditem",
   visual_size = {x=0.2, y=0.1},
   velocity = 9,
   textures = {"throwing:arrow_box"},
   tail = 1,
   tail_texture = "arrow_particle.png",
   tail_size = 0.5,
})


P.S. Skeleton model is from stampy subgame by morn76, if any interested :)

[TenPlus1]

I just updated Mobs Redo API so that arrow definition has a 'rotate' setting so you can rotate arrows e.g.

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_arrow("mc_mobs:arrow", {
   visual = "wielditem",
   visual_size = {x=0.2, y=0.1},
   velocity = 9,
   textures = {"throwing:arrow_box"},
   tail = 1,
   tail_texture = "arrow_particle.png",
   tail_size = 0.5,
   rotate = 180,
})

... also we have new mob eggs when picked up with magic lasso, all mob information like skin texture, health, milking/sheared status, nametag etc. is saved inside the mod egg for when you place it down again :)

[D00Med]

Awesome, I've been waiting for this :D

Hi TenPlus1,

I tried to use the different mods of Mob Redo with an v7 Ethereal mapgen on a world I created (animal, monster, npc), but when I try to load the map, I have this kind of error for all three mods



I wonder what I can do. I tried to use the latest version, but nothing changed. Simple Mobs, the dependency, didn't change for a long time, so I have no answer.

[MinisterFarrigut]

Oh wow. I get that warning all the time. To fix it, I just simply don't use the mod. Depressing, but I'm not a coder or modder. I couldn't fix it. :|

[Alcyone]

In fact it happens with animals, monsters and npc and I want to use them x) that's not the solution

[TenPlus1]

Do you have the mod security on ? if so add this line to minetest.conf :

secure.enable_security = false

[Alcyone]

Thanks for your quick answer !

Do you have the mod security on ?

I don't know in fact, nor how to check :/

if so add this line to minetest.conf :

secure.enable_security = false

No change, same error :/

EDIT :

UNDERSTOOD !!!

The thing was so simple that it wasn't obvious :
1. We need the Mob Redo Api downloaded and installed as a mod
2. We need then to activate it in the configuration of the world where it is called "mobs" in total conflict with the Simple Mobs mod also called "mobs"

I completely missed the point and though Simple Mobs was needed as a dependency...I just had an inspired stroke of genius :D

I suggest that the first post sould be edited to explain these two facts for the next who will have the issue :)

I just saw a sheep and a rabbit, I will do further checks to see if there are monsters and npc

[afflatus]

A couple of little feature requests:
Tameable penguins? about 4 fish would be right. We all want pet penguins. Don't we?
Oh and penguins should be able to swim - I'm starting a campaign to save the drowning penguins ...
Tameable / rideable dragons - I know, the impossible may take a little longer ;-) They should be expensive to train, maybe diamonds?
