Keep it up. This looks like it will be a cool mod.

Posted: **Tue Apr 07, 2015 05:08**

Nice idea, maybe have fossils generated in the dinosaurs form underground as in they are extinct. Even if the mod was only fossils, it would add a exploration element to the game.

Indominus Rex screenshot is being released soon

I just tested version 0.0.1 and had some problems:

Is this a modpack? Then you should probably add an empty file called “modpack.txt” in the “trex” directory.
Even after adding modpack.txt, it doesn't work for me: The is a naming conflict, you have a mod called “mobf”. Is this mod the original Mob Framework? Then you could safely delete it and list it as dependeny. If you changed it, however, I strongly suggest you rename this mod (perhaps “trex_mobf” or something) to resolve the naming conflicts

Posted: **Wed Sep 23, 2015 17:54**

Yes it is indeed a mod pack and I will be releasing a Rex beta soon with a modified mobf(I'm in fact working on it has we speak)

Beta is Out! Enjoy!

Nice, now I can at least start it. :D

I did not test much, but these are the bugs I have found:

- T-Rex has Z-fighting issues at its arms.
- I got this error message a few times:

2015-09-29 19:05:18: ERROR[ServerThread]: PREF: movement generator "combat_mov_gen" not found!
2015-09-29 19:05:39: ERROR[ServerThread]: PREF: movement generator "combat_mov_gen" not found!

- And then, Minetest (0.4.13) crashed:

Okay I'll fix this up as soon has possible.im already working on the cloning process for survival mode(there only accessible thru creative mode.

Posted: **Tue Sep 29, 2015 20:31**

Your license file is unclear regarding your dino models and textures...
May I use your models and textures for conversions to mobs_redo?

Posted: **Tue Sep 29, 2015 20:46**

I do not have a license the Tyrannosaur, and the Trikes owner is CC by SA so yes you may use them and the item textures are all by me

Posted: **Wed Sep 30, 2015 06:46**

Okay I fixed it and also it needs 4.11 or higher.

Posted: **Wed Dec 09, 2015 18:19**

The Alpha has been Released

Posted: **Wed Dec 09, 2015 21:13**

Congrats for making it this far with the mod!

I have no idea how to use this mod and how to add the dinosaurs, however.

It seems the fossils are pretty common. The nodes with fossils inside look weird when using the default 16×16 textures. Did you use images larger than 16×16 pixels? If you do texture overlays, you should make sure they have the same size as the original images.

I can also recall Minetest complaining about some missing images from pref (I forgot which ones).

Posted: **Wed Jul 27, 2016 19:30**

Yeah, I noticed the fossils are pretty common as well, I'm gonna give them the same rarity has iron ore.has for adding them, there's a cloning process tutorial on the main modding discussion post. has for those images I'm working on that currently.

Posted: **Wed Dec 28, 2016 06:26**

If you can see it then that is a male which I used Cougar, Grizzly Bear and of course the eyes are generic bird eyes, The female has more red hued eyes.
