It's out! The great Bombing Run!

It includes PilzAdam's TNT mod (modified), my TNT Dropper mod, and Jeija's map. My code might not be the most efficient, but hopefully it does not lag bad. (I would not use PilzAdam's regular TNT mod with this one. Might not work right.)

Goal: Find one of the two bomb shelters to hide in to win! (They are in the city)
Only rules: Don't use fly, fast, or creative mode.

Hope you enjoy! Post any neat screenshots :) (FYI: Some of the signs in the city I added or modified :). Some of them you might find funny.)

Minetest Version Required: 0.4.6 or greater.
Installation Instructions: Just unzip, and put the folder in your "minetest\worlds\" folder, and your ready to go!
Download:https://www.dropbox.com/s/xilba8hj429cl15/TheGreatBombingRun!.zip
Note: The mods are in the world folder so it will not affect other maps (Warning, do not use these mods with other maps you do NOT want destroyed!).

Wow oh my goodness this map is awesome!!!!Is there any rules?

Well, I figured out how to place the bombs randomly in a way that I am content with. (I just wish I knew how to make them slowly fall from the sky instead of instantly appearing on the ground)

I think I might use Jeija's old singleplayer map http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=915 , but I am not sure yet.

I still don't know if it is possible for a player to turn off the abm, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I sometimes get the following error using PilzAdam's TNT 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: 10:16:26: ERROR[ServerThread]: ServerEnv: Trying to store id=41 statically but block (-4,0,-5) already contains 49 (over 49) objects. Forcing delete. 10:16:26: ERROR[ServerThread]: ServerEnv: Trying to store id=42 statically but block (-4,0,-5) already contains 49 (over 49) objects.

I tried commenting out the following lines with no success preventing the errors (Although for this map I didn't want it to drop the nodes just destroy them anyways):

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 destroy = function(pos) -- if math.random(1,5) <= 4 then -- minetest.env:add_entity({x=pos.x+math.random(0,10)/10-0.5, y=pos.y, z=pos.z+math.random(0,10)/10-0.5}, "tnt:smoke") -- end local nodename = minetest.env:get_node(pos).name if nodename ~= "air" then minetest.env:remove_node(pos) nodeupdate(pos) if minetest.registered_nodes[nodename].groups.flammable ~= nil then minetest.env:set_node(pos, {name="fire:basic_flame"}) return end -- local drop = minetest.get_node_drops(nodename, "") -- for _,item in ipairs(drop) do -- if type(item) == "string" then -- local obj = minetest.env:add_item(pos, item) -- if obj == nil then -- return -- end -- obj:get_luaentity().collect = true -- obj:setacceleration({x=0, y=-10, z=0}) -- obj:setvelocity({x=math.random(0,6)-3, y=10, z=math.random(0,6)-3}) -- else -- for i=1,item:get_count() do -- local obj = minetest.env:add_item(pos, item:get_name()) -- if obj == nil then -- return -- end -- obj:get_luaentity().collect = true -- obj:setacceleration({x=0, y=-10, z=0}) -- obj:setvelocity({x=math.random(0,6)-3, y=10, z=math.random(0,6)-3}) -- end -- end -- end end end

Any thoughts as to what is causing this?

It is because that section of the map has not been loaded, iirc

So is it because I have an abm that creates TNT, and the TNT keeps getting added to the unloaded sections of the map?

Thanks for your help Rubenwardy. I decided to change my approach to randomly place the TNT with minetest.register_globalstep instead of an abm.

I've hit another roadblock:

tntdropper.init

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 timer = 0 minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) timer = timer + dtime; --Place bombs around every 20 seconds. if timer >= 20 then timer = 0 if math.random(0,11) >= 0.5 then minetest.chat_send_all("Bombs Away!") else minetest.chat_send_all("Look Out!") end local playerlist = minetest.get_connected_players() --Bomb every player in map. for _,player in ipairs(playerlist) do local tpos = player:getpos() -- local testpos = player:getpos() --Check each block within a radius of 15 blocks of the player. for dx=-15,15 do for dz=-15,15 do for dy=15,-15,-1 do tpos.x = tpos.x+dx tpos.y = tpos.y+dy tpos.z = tpos.z+dz --Around a 10% chance of placing tnt in valid node. if math.random(0,100) > 90 then local check = true local setpos = {x = tpos.x, y = tpos.y - 6, z = tpos.z} --Checking if valid node. if minetest.env:get_node({x = tpos.x, y = tpos.y - 7, z = tpos.z}).name ~= "air" and minetest.env:get_node(tpos).name == "air" then -- For testing purposes only: -- minetest.env:set_node({x = testpos.x, y = testpos.y + 7, z = testpos.z}, {name = "tnt:tnt"}) -- minetest.env:punch_node({x = testpos.x, y = testpos.y + 7, z = testpos.z}) for t=1,6,1 do if minetest.env:get_node({x = tpos.x, y = tpos.y - t, z = tpos.z}).name ~= "air" then check = false end end --If valid node... bombs away!!! if check == true then minetest.env:set_node(setpos, {name = "tnt:tnt"}) minetest.env:punch_node(setpos) end end end end end end end end end)

When the timer >= 20 my minetest.env:get_node functions In the line:

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: --Checking if valid node. if minetest.env:get_node({x = tpos.x, y = tpos.y - 7, z = tpos.z}).name ~= "air" and minetest.env:get_node(tpos).name == "air" then

keep returning "ignore" all except for one time. Can anyone spot the issue? After this issue is fixed, and I tweak the map a little, I'm done.

Edit:
Issue has now been solved. Prestidigitator pointed out the issue to me.

It's Finished!

Look's awesome! Maybe someone could make this into a WWII adventure but before the TNT drops, there is an air raid siren :)

No, its because theres an entity limit per MapBlock

My netbook call this the great fps drop run
But the screenshots are great +1

Hybrid Dog, those are some great screenshots! Thanks for sharing :)

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2013 02:17**

Since the TNT is falling from the sky, is there a different texture you think might work better with this map?

Not sure what caused that warning. I never got it during all my testing and tweaking.

By the way I like the textures! :) I'll have to put it in the map (Can't do it today though). What license do you want me to use with the textures?

Would anyone by chance have a blender model of a plane? A model of a World War II plane would be really nice :)

Looking good.

WWII Fighters dropping bombs in this map would be awesome! we could have pilots in them aswell, the player could also get into his/her plane and fight them off, a real WWII adventure!

Version 1.2 is out! Finally got the map fixed.

Although, it does not use new textures for the TNT yet, due to the link to Hybrid Dog's new textures being removed (not sure why).

Feel free to make maps just like this. I would not mind trying the map ;). I might make some updates later on as well.

Posted: **Wed May 15, 2013 16:57**

Version 1.21 is out! New textures from Hybrid Dog are used now.

Posted: **Thu May 16, 2013 19:00**

New update (Version 2) might be coming soon! Sneak peek below of one of the things that will be added:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q8ylbf8m9vmxo37/NewTNT.png

This will be an additional TNT type that will be dropped.

Another sneak peek :D

This is a great map! :D Still haven't managed to find a bunker though. (even when flying with noclip :P)

I only spawned at the first one. I have never been at the second one.

You won't spawn in the bunker anymore. The newest version does not spawn you in the bunker, and the bunker locations have been changed since the first version ;)

A spin off of The Great Bombing Run! has been created.

You can find it here: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6178

Note: This spin off does not contain planes, that is coming later. :)

Here are 2 missiles you might find helpful, in blend format:
