[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.34] [mobs]

[EdShouldBeInBed]

Tenplus1: Has anyone ported the mob made for PilzAdam's Nether mod? viewtopic.php?id=5790 Also, I could see the Lava Flan and others spawning there; maybe a good compatibility hook.

I really do love all the work you do for this game. Ethereal makes lovely worlds, and your other works all make my game better.

Actually, it's an issue with the birthstones mod; when using a birthstone tool and punching a mob, the result is this error. Thanks for your answer anyway!

[TenPlus1]

KCoombes, are you using the latest version of Mobs Redo ?

[KCoombes]

yes

[TenPlus1]

EdShouldBeInbed: Mobs Redo already has the Lava flan and Mese monsters from zmobs and PilzAdams nether mob doesn't have any mods included...

KCoombes: I've installed birthstones and hit all sorts of mobs with the tools provided and cannot cause a crash... Are you using Minetest 0.4.12 and above ? on a Pc ?

[KCoombes]

0.4.13 on 3 pcs and 2 laptops

I always start my client from terminal to see output and nothing about missing textures ?!?!
2015-08-17 01:11:38: ACTION[main]: Irrlicht: Could not open file of texture: stone_monster_2.png
Thats a effort..
i mean.. it makes no noticeable Effekt to the game but it Spams every few second thats a little bit distrubing

I put in pull requests to fix this in mobs and mobs_sky.

I spent hours trying to figure out how to recreate the b3d files by either pulling them apart and rewriting them without textures or using blender to export the few original blend files I had. It was a huge pain and only partly successful.

Of course, the solution was "Absurdly simple, like most riddles when you see the answer." If anyone has this problem with any b3d file in the future, just run this ruby code on it.

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

fn = ARGV[0]

puts fn
s = File.open(fn, 'rb').read
s.gsub!(/TEXS/, 'XXXX')
File.open(fn, 'wb').write(s)

That is cool!

I think this mod is causing crashes in 0.4.13. I'm seeing it cause the error mentioned in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13177 in a server I'm running at home. One client saw a mobs:mese_monster fly out of the ocean and up into the sky right when this crash happened, and it kept happening and crashing the server when I restarted it. I think I've fixed it by disabling the mod and running the server for a while without it. A client saw an "unknown" flying up into the sky, but it didn't crash this time. I've enabled the mod again, and so far, all is well.

okay, random noob question... if I want to make the mobs weaker, do I have to increase or decrease the armour levels, example: change amour = 200 to armour = 100 or armour = 300? thanks in advance

[TenPlus1]

the higher the armor levels the weaker they are and harder to hit... smaller values like 80 and under means you need strong swords to hurt thm...

[tinkerlevu]

okay thanks alot!

The breeding function is not very satisfying. It doesn't seem to always work (right now, new mobs cannot be tamed at all?), and tamed mobs can be killed by the next best player. At least mobs that are passive ought to be protected against killing when tamed. Fur color might also be preserved when catching the mob and placing it back into the world, althought that'd make eggs more complicated.
The very tiny young rabbits also tend to tunnel through solid blocks and thus manage to escape.
I'd prefer a system where each mob comes with a block that acts as his "house". When placed, the mob would leave the house. Food could be inserted there as well. And at night, most mobs would return to their stable/hen house/sleeping box/whatever. Whenever someone attacks the mob, it'd flee and enter its stable where it would despawn as an entity and emerge back later on (next morning or when fed?) through an ABM. New mobs could only be created if there's an empty stable nearby.

I fixed it locally, feed_tame was missing an additional bool arg, "tame".

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

function mobs:feed_tame(self, clicker, feed_count, breed, tame)

+ kitten.lua example

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

mobs:feed_tame(self, clicker, 4, true)

Could you make it so mobs are attracted to certain nodes? Maybe even add a function for mod makers to register these nodes?

[TenPlus1]

I could add a feature where mobs would walk towards a particular node but in doing so it would slow down the mobs api considerably having to check an area to find them...

[tinkerlevu]

hey one question... what do you have to edit to change the speed of the horses in the kpgmobs addon

[Inocudom]

Do mobs spawn in creative mode too? I could use their company, though I will remove the dungeon master for obvious reasons.

[TenPlus1]

Yes, so long as damage is enabled then mobs will respawn in your world, if it's disabled then only animals will spawn...

[mtmodder148]

Oh I see nvm then thanks.

[swordpaint12]

Whenever I try to open a server with this mod running, it says "path" is a nil value(line 5). WHat can I do to make it work?

[TenPlus1]

swordpaint12: if you have installed mobs redo from the github account then please make sure that the folder name is simply called 'mobs' without quotes and NOT mobs-master, otherwise an error will appear...

[swordpaint12]

Yes, that is what it is. I'll check, and double check.

[TenPlus1]

Mobs Redo 1.17 release with new 'dogshoot' attack type that shoots a pre-defined arrow when beyond self.reach and switches to dogfight attack when within reach. Also many api tweaks.

Mob mod writers please note that the default reach for each new mob will be 3 if not set which can result in smaller mobs attacking player from a distance, a quick guide is standing mobs set to 2, smaller one's like tiny slime set to 1 and huge entities like large green slime set to 3.

[blert2112]

Nice!
My new laptop is supposed to be here tomorrow but Saturday is my son's birthday. Nevertheless, I will try my best to get my mob repos updated this weekend.

[eduardomezencio]

when you place mob eggs in creative mode they disappear from your inventory... shouldn't they stay?

[TenPlus1]

Good point eduard, will change that soon...

[EdShouldBeInBed]

Sorry it took a bit to get back to this. Tenplus1, the mob for PilzAdam's nether mod is here, being made by sdzen with the Simple Mobs API: http://ompldr.org/vaWFrZw/lawyers.zip

No idea how portable it would be.

Also, liking the new Ai setting. Makes for interesting fights.

[TenPlus1]

Ed, the link doesn't work unfortunately.

[EdShouldBeInBed]

Just checked it after work, sorry for the false lead. :(
