FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi all,

For some reason on my server there are no cows or sheep showing up anywhere. I'm guessing it may be a mod conflict, but I'm running the latest dev build so I thought I'd report it as a problem/bug.

Here's my version info:

minetest server --version
Minetest 0.4.13-dev-8aaae7d
Using Irrlicht 1.8.1
Build info: VER=0.4.13-dev-8aaae7d BUILD_TYPE=Release RUN_IN_PLACE=0 USE_GETTEXT=1 USE_SOUND=1 USE_CURL=1 USE_FREETYPE=1 USE_LUAJIT=1 STATIC_SHAREDIR="/usr/local/share/minetest"

And my enabled mods:

enable_damage = true
load_mod_adv_spawning = true
load_mod_ambience = true
load_mod_animal_big_red = true
load_mod_animal_chicken = true
load_mod_animal_clownfish = true

load_mod_trap = true
load_mod_trash_can = true
load_mod_3d_armor = true

Any help, even just a "hey dumbass you cant run gobbldee mod with gluk mod" or whatever would be most appreciated ;)

Best regards,
Rich

Could you give me a like to which mod you're using?

I guess your "mobs" mod adds cows too, what happens when you disable that one?

you cant run gobbldee mod with gluk mod.

"Could you give me a like to which mod you're using?"

Sorry - I'm not sure exactly what your asking. The mods listed above are the only ones enabled.

I tried disabling mobs and I did have a sheep show up so that's good, but now I have no bumblebeed or rock monsters.

Can I just ask - which mod do you think might be conflicting with mobs - maybe mod_creatures?

I just want to get the most different number of animals and monsters running on my server. The variety is cool and it makes for an interesting game. Some of my players like to farm and some like to fight monsters - it would be cool if we could do both.

Much appreciated for all your guys' help,
Rich

Where did you download the mobs mod that you're using?
The most common ones that I know of are

• mobs_redo
• mobf
• animals
• simple_mobs

Maybe you have installed conflicting separate mob mods? You have a "mobf" and a "mobs"at the same time.

For some reason I was under the impression that mobf was required for mobs - like it's the base framework?

Which one of the two is more up to date, or barring that, which mob mod is most commonly used on servers? Which one gives me the most animals and creatures?

Finally, which one will give me NPCs like arhers, guards, traders, etc? I think I'm actually after that more than anything else.

Sorry for all the goofy questions, but the docs don't seem to make it clear which things work with which and what the tradeoffs are among the different animal/creature/npc mobs available out there..

Mobf isn't required at all, mobs_redo is a complete standalone base by itself.
