[Modpack] Animals Modpack [2.5] -- 2.6 approaching

[cornernote]

Easy enough to do so - just modify this abm code:

minetest.register_abm({
nodenames = {"carts:pickup_plate"},
interval = 0,
chance = 1,
action = function(pos)
minetest.env:remove_node(pos)
end
})

someone should make this sticky somewhere

[sapier]

until 1.2.93 there was a "remove_animals.lua" file contained within animals mod ... somehow it got lost in later versions I'm going to readd it next version.

@InfinityProject you said "quite a while back" do you remember which version you installed? I've done lots of performance tweaks in 1.2.90. I'd be interested if this did any good?

end
})

This abm (from my cart mod) will work for old nodes, but not for entities. Use the command /clearobjects and all objects in the whole world will be deletet.

Can you choose which animal/monster to install or not because i only wan't the animals.

[sapier]

each animal is it's own mod just delete the folder animals_<todel> and that animal won't be there anymore

[Vince]

thanks so much i figured it out.

Can you explain what you did to get it working? I am running into the same issue. I extracted all the folders, and moved them to mod/minetest but still get a fail message when I try to start up my world.

I tried putting the entire animal_mod directory in the mod/minetest folder (after it was unzipped) and that failed, so I took them all out of the containing directory and put each individual one in the mod/minetest folder (so there are lik 15 folders, one for each animal) but it still fails.

Thanks.

Did you perhaps forget to delete the empty 'containing directory' called animals_modpack-1.3.1?

[tinoesroho]

minetest.register_abm({
nodenames = {"carts:pickup_plate"},
interval = 0,
chance = 1,
action = function(pos)
minetest.env:remove_entity(pos)
end

That should work, but the remove animals script should work better. Grab an earlier version for it in the meantime.

[Vince]

I removed the containing directory. I noticed a post earlier that said adding a modpack.txt file in the animals_modpack folder might fix it so I'll try that. And then altering the file with the new code.

If that doesn't work does version 1.3.0 seem to be ok? Or should I go even earlier than that? Like 1.2.X?

Thanks for the quick replies. I appreciate it.

[tinoesroho]

I use 1.3.0 myself. It works fine, apart from the uncraftable nets due to somebody removing junglegrass. But there's a mod for that - VanessaE has it under releases somewhere.

You can do 2 things:
1) extracting all the separate directories of the containing directory in the mods/minetest directory or
2) extracting the containing directory in the mods/minetest directory, then open the containing directory (where all the animal directories are) and creating there a file called modpack.txt.

Better not try to combine them. So method 1 doesn't have the containing directoy (you remove it) and needs no modpack.txt and method 2 has the containing directory and needs in it the modpack.txt file (you create that)

Edit: all the versions should work so best to take the newest.

If you still have troubles, I advice you to rename your debug.txt (because its filled :-) ), then make a new debug.txt file, start the whole minetest again from the bin to create the error, close it down, go to debug, search for "error" copy that part and place it here on the forum.

Good luck!

[Vince]

Awesome, thanks. I'll try that out when I get home. I'm not terribly worried about nets or lasos atm.

Do the animals & zombies appear in the world when it loads, or do you need to do similar to other mods like /giveme animal:fish 10?

[Topywo]

All the animals and monsters appear automatically. For materials use /giveme animalmaterials:net 99 (for example)

[sapier]

for lassos and nets you need 1.3.1 I've fixed it there.
There ain't any dependency to junglegrass

Craft scissors
sheer sheep
--> wool to craft a lasso!

[tinoesroho]

Some of us are waiting for 0.4.2 to be stable. *points at the many dev releases and required updating*

[rubenwardy]

Bring on 3d mobs! Well done, just need better animals and animating the models

[sapier]

@tinoesroho as far as I know you'll have to wait quite some time for 0.4.2 stable I'm sorry animals mob doesn't support latest stable anymore you'd need to use a older version of this mod e.g. 1.2.90 should work

@rubenwardy walking fighting etc animations ain't possible with wielditem/nodebox 3d model mode I'll add them as soon as minetest will support it

Is food built into this mod? if so, which foods

[tinoesroho]

Raw meat

[Vince]

Thanks for everyone's help. The only version I am able to successfully run is 1.2.93. I am running minetest 4.0 for Windows 32bit. Here are the errors I am receiving.

Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise, I will be using 1.2.93 until then.

rename mod directory just to "animals" should help. dots in mod directory name are not allowed

[Vince]

I tried that too after I got that error message. It still wouldn't work.

[Temperest]

You are missing the wool mod. This is present in the latest minetest_game, I think you might need to upgrade.

[Vince]

Is minetest-0.4.1-win32 the latest? That's the one I'm running

[Temperest]

It's the latest stable, yes, but your minetest_game may not be the latest.

I recommend 0.4.2 RC.

[Vince]

It's the latest stable, yes, but your minetest_game may not be the latest.

I recommend 0.4.2 RC.

Thank you! That's all it was. After I downloaded the 4.0.2, the animals mod worked. I assumed (yes, I know) that the "latest" version was the one on the main minetest page 4.0.1. So I'm running 4.0.2 now.

Thank you to everyone who helped with this issue. It is greatly appreciated.

[tonyka]

textures for the cow
features:
size = 160 x 160 px
spots match well (must be flip horizontally, front and back textures, I think it minetest error ...)

Cow.zip

[sapier]

could be a model error ;-) I'm always little bit confused about point order when defining the models but I tried to make them at least consistent for all models I create :-)

[sapier]

I've added your cow graphics looks great! Whats the license for it?

[Blackthorne]

I tried this modpack, but I keep getting unsatisfied dependencies for "Wool" and "Animals". Any help would be appreciated.
