FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello everyone!
I have just tried to code a mob. Here is the actual development state: http://ompldr.org/vZXowaQ/mob_test.zip.
I just want to know what you think about it.
Use "/giveme mob_test:mob 1000" and place the item somewhere. The mob will spawn and go in a random direction. When you rightclick it it will change the direction. Hitting it two times will remove it.

OMG why /giveme 1000... isnt that a bit to much ;-)

will test this tomorrow, sounds nice and if thats good as the carts and beds i guess its a "must to have" !

Ive updated th link.
Now the leg lag is fixed.

New update now with textures (and some bugfixes).

Fun! They don't care to jump off a cliff, they survive and go for a swim.

Bugs/glitches: sometimes the head and/or legs mix with nodes (dirt with grass, tree_trunk). Not always a response by rightclicking it.

But they stayed cute.

The have no real moving generator yet. I just want to know wether its possible to make 3D mobs like this.

First I didn't even notice how you made them, so I think they look pretty natural. And it seems to work.

Haha, this is quite an interesting idea! I like the smiley faces :)

Sorry 3D mobs are taking a bit of time but I am still working on them. I'll focus on the protocol a bit now, then we can make them controllable from lua.

Hi, i wanted to start modding minetest but im not sure how and i tried looking up tutorials online but i couldnt find any that helped me, do you have any tips to help me out?

Hey lesliev, check out this, it might have some code you need.

help me a little but i was wondering if there was any online videos or very basic step by step guides?

I have not seen any videos. The tutorial by Jeija listed on that page will help you. It's basic.

It seems my sheep has lost it's torso! Oh no!

There's it's head at least.

Seems to be a bug. I had the same problem when I tried this mod some time ago. If you want sheep, install the animals-modpack (mobf). Afaik the sheep there are derived from this mod here.
