FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Friendly mobs to keep you company. Right now they just move around, look silly and make funny noises :P they spawn to your position by using /domob (so you can spawn them in buildings)

Any ideas for adding friendly interaction are welcomed

Maybe they could place randomly some flowers.

I could, though i'd create a unique flower to include in the mod - hate dependencies lol

I also thought of letting/making users feed them :-)

You could let the make shoot "healing balls" that gives you a 1/2 heart.

Later on you might try letting them follow a player.

I like this mod, maybe I could change it up a bit to add pets. :)

this pretty much is a pet lol

updated posted - added 2 stage reproduction : brown domob turns pink, then begins multiplying :p

Is that only if you feed them after midnight?

we can kill it?

Hey Mauvebic just an idea here. You use /domob to spawn domos so what would happen if you put that in an abm and created a monster spawner?

@InfinityProject
if you wanna know what happens if adding an abm have a look at early animals mod versions (about 0.2.X ++).
It's nealy got the same evolution stages until it's current state ;-).

well if you're talking about having lua entities spawn and walk around the map then yeah, you could say evolution is about the same :P there aren't a dozen ways to do it. But this is actually based off celerons' simpler dungeon master mod. I considered making this an addon to animals, but your mod grinds my server to a halt and i dont want to write an addon that barely processes when i can write a minimal mod that just works.

As for adding spawnblocks, i try to avoid abusing ABMs. But that doesn't mean you can't write your own, any mod can call another mods' entities :-)

What animals mod version was the last you tried?
I've done lots of performance tweaks in 1.2.90 hoping to work around the problems of prior versions. By now just noone gave me feedback if I've been successfull ... using animals mod in single player isn't quite a good testcase.

Of course a simple mod doing simpler movement and less checks will always be faster than a more complex one.

i do /domob than i hear them but i dont see them


can someone tell me why???

@sapier yeah its been awhile, i think i tried it in jan or february :-/ though i figured animals was more for farming, food, raising herds and such, i didn't really intend for domobs to be edible (or to even be taken seriously as mobs/animals) lol but if you want we could port it as an addon to your other animals

CUTE

Why would anyone still want to play with 2D mobs? :p

Well. I like read code from other mods to gain more experience with LUA and with the minetest script procedure. :D
Maybe I make better mods. But is a nice mod to. :D

Don't bump old topics.

They should close all the topics in Old Mods - it's an archive after all, not like you're going to see any new developments :p

Old mods could conceivably be moved back to releases or modding general if someone else decides to take up the cause and fix the mod in question, as long as the original author didn't get childish and just delete it.

In *this* case i doubt anyone's interested in 2D mobs that don't do anything :p

I am! I will revive this! I swear upon Mese that I will revive this!

In fact: I will start working on it exactly when that ^^ post was made!
