let's talk about hands :)

[Misty]

Good luck with your efforts to improve the look of the player's wield hand.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

set_bone_position("", {x=0,y=0,z=0}, {x=0,y=0,z=0})

what is this used for?

[Inocudom]

It would help if the hand looked like it was attached to the body and could change depending on what skin is being used.

yep i agree.

Well we certainly need a new wieldhand texture for a cuboid hand similar to Sam's.
I would like to see Jordach's texture used as the default ... after all he designed the 3D character model texture. Hey Jordach is the palm towards face in your texture? That would make the punching motion very odd i would choose palm down.

Paramat, use that texture as part of a texture pack. It works.

[Linxx]

hmm yeah Jordachs texture would be great for the hand but there leaves 2 problems 1 the size of the hand looks odd and 2 when the hand moves the animation is so broad that you can see that the hadn is not attached to the body and it looks like there's no way to fix that atm or atleast i don't know of a way.Another thing is the size too small and i can't change the scale which is a problem.

[paramat]

Is this Sam?

[Linxx]

Is this Sam?

LOL XD hahah pretty close he even has the hand in the same position haha!!! too funny xD

[noobly]

wut?

i think he meant minetest/games/minetest_game/default/textures

Also wrong.
The right path is <minetest dir>/games/minetest_game/mods/default/textures

ALSO WRONG like this
C:\<location>/<minetest dir>/games/minetest_game/mods/default/textures/wield_hand.png

That's totally wrong if you're using anything other than Windoze. Also, the "<location>" part is redundant. Better to just have "minetest dir" represent whatever the directory is where this kind of stuff is loaded.

If it was supposed to be a joke, sorry, because I don't get it.

._. where's src file in regular minetest builds?

What do you mean by "regular"? The windows build?

yes or your builds.

The src/ folder is not included in the windows build, there is simply no need to (people wouldnt download the build if they can compile for themself).

oh... hmmm this makes editing the camera hard DX hmmmm

Speaking of the camera, a POV adjuster might be a good feature.

Yes, field of view (FOV.) Hopefully, a programmer should not find such a feature to be difficult.

[PilzAdam]

What about fov in minetest.conf?

[Inocudom]

What about fov in minetest.conf?

That field is in the config file? I guess that is how Hybrid Dog made some of his stranger screenshots. To match the FOV a human has, what would be a good entry?

I found that field. To everyone that reads this, it is as follows:
fov = 72
The number 72 is the default number for it.

As I said before, it would be good if the hand's appearance depended on what skin the player is using.

I have played around a bit with the code for the hand and kinda got what you have requested:




If anyone wants try out, here is a win32 build with the changes:

Well, np. I was interested in that too.

And i have no idea. It contains just the build...anyway, i have reuploaded it, maybe it helps.

Umm... have you changed anything in the engine source or just the default mods? Since it should be easily doable in the default mod.

[BlockMen]

Yes, you cant get this result by just editing the wieldhand definition in default mod. You need to edit the wield_position and wield_rotation in camera.cpp for that.

Haven't you read the posts before?

Furthermore: Why should i provide a build without any changes of the engine source?!

[Linxx]

tested it hmmm i still can't figure out how you did this ._.

[sdzen]

You need to edit the wield_position and wield_rotation in camera.cpp for that.

Reading Reading is so fun! you should try it some time!

i wasn't talking about that i knew he had to mess with camera.cpp but idk how to compile. :)
