Dont do that

• Make a seperate mod
• make it depend on simplemobs
• upload the mod to a file storage site, ie: ubuntuone, google drive
• format the title [Mod] Elemental Masters for simplemobs [v0.1]

You should pack this into mod ("mobs_addon" for example) and add "mobs" into depends.txt. Then you woul also be able to add textures to it.

im sorry im a noob as my name suggests i just wanted people to tell me what they think and if no one liked it i would quit on it thanks though

The water and magma masters are a good idea! (Althoug magma should be renamed to lava)

But a very important thing are the textures. So if you create nice texture (maybe even 3D models) for the water and lava mobs (and drop the skeleton) then it could be a success.

And here we are picky about monster names...

To upload a mod you basically zip it and then upload the zip archive with a site like http://ompldr.org/.

ok try this i hope it works!

You dont have to put api.lua and all the texture files of simple mobs in there.
Just add "mobs" to depends.txt.

Now that looks a lot better!
Some minor things still to fix:

• In the README: Its "Minetest", not "Minetest-c55"
• Textures should prefix their modname, so "elementalmasters_" in your case
• At the end of init.lua: You should print "elementalmasters loaded" instead of "mobs loaded"
• In the installation guide: People shouldnt install mods in the games, but in the mods/[gamename]/ folder
• A license is missing in the topic

This are just some minor things, though.

When I used pilzadams simplemobs, I kept calling his monsters golems

Hey Guys, this mod is still maintained? I would like to try it, but download link is expired...

Necroposting detected...
Actually neither this nor simple mobs have been updated by their authors since the date you could've seen in a previous post (header).

So, I doubt smth has changed or became incompatible.
Maybe Adam still has a copy - he had helped the guy with uploading.

It looks like I've the oldest version. I don't have the 3 updates (latest 12/9/2013). I missed those completely. Editing the first post after updating a mod, doesn't create a 'new' post. That's why most modders make a new post in their topic, pointing to made changes in the first post.
