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

[Sokomine]

Good to hear! The sheep may learn to graze :-) And: Your nodebox-models are good. Better than the Minecraft ones I've seen in the meantime. They just lack animation. Unfortionately, I have no experience with blender and a rather slow computer so I can't help you there :-( But please stick to the more "realistic" approach of animals. They're good!

[Kryuko]

How can i able only animals?

[Sokomine]

Delete the subfolders of "animals" (i.e. hostile animals) that you don't want.

[Kryuko]

If i do it, i give some errors for missign mobs

[neko259]

@sapier, where can I find your development branch? The crash I've had before appeared 3 times today, it's not safe anymore for me to run 1.4.6 on my server. Can I update it somehow?

[neko259]

Also, can you make DMs spawn only in deep caves? Yesterday one spawned in the middle of a forest and burned a couple of trees. Today one burned my house on the top of the hill. Our wooden spawn was destroyed by one of them 2-3 times for one month, it's horrible :D

And please make them fire less rapidly. I've tried attacking the one in the woods, but he fires 1-3 fireballs a second, it's too much for me :)

[Kryuko]

How can i able only animals?

I renew my question

[Temperest]

Kryuko: According to sapier, the best way to selectively enable mobs is by adding/removing the folders from the modpack.

[bob]

Nice!

[Kryuko]

Kryuko: According to sapier, the best way to selectively enable mobs is by adding/removing the folders from the modpack.

Yep, but it doesn't work.
If i do it, i get too many error for missign mobs directory.

[Temperest]

What are the errors (should be found in debug.txt)? Which mods did you remove?

[Kryuko]

Are errors like "mobxxx.lua not found"

[foxinsky]

My server crashes periodically with the following errror:

ERROR[main]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: ServerError: LuaError: error running function 'on_step': ...ods/animals_modpack-1.4.6/mobf/generic_functions.lua:203: attempt to index local 'pos2' (a nil value)

Sapier, Yesterday night i sat at my desk drawing up some diagrams/ideas for MOB Framework.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what i came up with: Ahem, first is a Fish, the Fish can swim and when you cook him in a furnace, you get Cooked Fish,
which can restore up to 4 hearts. You also should be able to craft a Fishing Rod, which can be used to catch fish :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is a Duck, The duck makes a Quacking Sound, and swims in water. It can also walk on land, when you cook the Duck
in a furnace you get Cooked Duck, which can restore up to 4 hearts. The Ducks can also have ducklings, that waddle around and
look cute....and eventually grow into a Adult Duck :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is a Chicken, the Chicken can also lay eggs which can hatch and contain a Baby Chicken. The Chicken can be cooked in a
furnace to make Cooked Chicken, which can restore up to 6 hearts. The Chickens can also make a Cocka-doodle-doo sound when the morning comes. Eggs can also be cooked in in a furnace to make a Cooked Egg, which can restore up to 2 hearts :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is a Mouse, kind of like a rat. It's peaceful, can make mouseholes, look cute and can make a Squeaking Sound. It can also steal cheese, you cannot eat the mouse only kill it. And the mouse is not very strong :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we have a Cow, It makes a moo sound, can drop beef when you kill it, which then can be cooked in a furnace, to make
Cooked Beef, which can restore up to 6 hearts. You can Milk the Cow then drink the milk which will restore up to 2 hearts.
You can also age the milk to make cheese, which Mouse's can steal and the cheese can restore up to 3 and a-half hearts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next we have a Sheep, Which can drop lamb if you kill it. You can also get wool from the sheep, which can be dyed using the default dye, or used to make a bed from PilzAdam's Beds mod The sheep can also Baa :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, we have a Pig, The pig can oink, you can pull it's tail (Optional) It drops some bacon if you kill it, Then you can make a saddle which can be used to ride the pig (Optional)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, yeah that is about it. Hope these idea's make this mod more intresting, that is if you choose to add them :)

Can you rewrite this so it is not extremely heavy?

[J-Block]

Can you update this mod for 0.4.4? It's really nice!

[sapier]

@jordan4ibanez I'd gladly do.
Can you just be a little bit more precise what you mean with less heavy ;-)

[sapier]

@Josh lots of suggestions I'll try to answer them one by one

1.1) cooking fish ... I like the idea, I've added fish meat some time ago and I'm enabling it in 1.9.1 to be dropped. There's already a cooking mod probably recieps could be added there
1.2) fishing rod: this idea is around for some time by now I don't have an idea how to do this in a way it's better than the nets used atm

2) Duck ... needs improovements in mobf core as this would be first animal that needs to stay exactly uppon waterline I'll put it on improovement list, but it's low prio atm

3) Chicken ... there is already a chicken for recieps see suggestion 1.1

4) Rat is in there, stealing cheese would require cheese being there ;-) I don't have an idea how to get a mob doing this but it's an interesting option to be added in later releases

5) Cows are there ... ok here's the cheese for recieps making cheese I recomend same as in 1.1

6) Everything you suggested about sheep can already be done

7) pigs ... some ppl like it others don't, riding is difficult to implement atm

[Iqualfragile]

7) not anymore, in doubt ask adam

I see. Just do the best you can!
EDIT: You should add animated animals, (So the animals can move there legs and arms and turn there head)

[sapier]

@Josh as you wish 1.9.1 adds animation support ... still lots of animals aren't due to lack of animated models
riding is possible? ok then I need to update monorail first :-)

To all others: A new release 1.9.1 is available,
-fixing lots of state change bugs introduced with 1.9.0 thus still not completely flawless of course.
-now you get the meat you want!
-finaly animation has arrived! thanks to jojoa1997's model I was able to add those small pieces missing

[Temperest]

Woo animation!

[tux_peng]

How do I make animal spawn(without creative)

Awesome! Now we need to work on the graphics....

[J-Block]

I noticed something- Sometimes I get killed by an invisible mob. I don't know why, but the mob is actually inside the player. I found this out when it seemed I was on fire during the daytime. Perhaps it has something to do with the ability to pass through mobs?

[sapier]

@J-Block some hostile mobs are big if you're standing right inside them you may not see them
@tux_peng /spawnmob <modname>:<mobname> x,y,z
e.g. /spawnmob animal_sheep:sheep 0,0,0

1.9.2 has arrived now theres a animated cow walking, standing around and eating

Some info for those of you trying to create models with blender:
1) enable the directx export filter ( it's not enabled by default)
2) make sure any face is part of a vertex group (as soon as you do animation non grouped faces won't be shown anymore)
3) make sure one bone is parenting all others
4) name all vertex groups exactly like a bone

[sapier]

Ok another release hopefully 1.9.3 fixes stability issues 1.9.x series has by now

I've seen this mob framework get laggier and laggier as time goes on. Please, use this for peaceful mobs.

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

Trust me, I have passive-till-aggressed, and aggressive ai too, please just use this for your mobs, they're plenty st00pid, and fun to work with, and you won't be wondering why your computer is spurting out fumes and smells like burning plastic after you change to this. Has extreme performance improvements, and allows for 200-300+ mobs in the same area without the server itself lagging. Please just use this so people can have fun with this mod.
