With pet mob you mean a mob following the player? Or did I missunderstand you?

yes and maybe attacking?

[sapier]

following won't be that hard ... at least a simple way of following. It'll be a real hard task to get the animal smoothly following a player constantly running up and down the hills. At least as much work as adding fish ;-)

I've put it on the list and like the idea but I can't tell by now when it'll be finished. And It's not quite topic of the mod ;-) Probably I'll create another mod and just add a wild animal you'll have to catch and tame in animals.

[rinoux]

The cow.

and if you want:

[sapier]

Thanks again rinoux, really amazing work!

I like your ham graphic too but ther ain't ham in animals. And I don't intend to add it anytime soon, sorry. I think processing of raw material better should be done in other mods.

[rinoux]

Thanks go to you, who made this great mod !! I think the milk have a little problem, so there is a new version with alpha channel.

[IPushButton2653]

Dude, we need BIGFOOT!!!!!!!!!!!

[r_kAY]

It's cool but I think the animals should definitely be 3d, @sapier do you need help designing the 3d animals? I can do that.

[rinoux]

It's cool but I think the animals should definitely be 3d, @sapier do you need help designing the 3d animals? I can do that.

I agree.

[r_kAY]

@rinoux your cow is pretty good but I was thinking more of a cartoon style animal. The design you have is nice maybe we can work together.

[rinoux]

@rinoux your cow is pretty good but I was thinking more of a cartoon style animal. The design you have is nice maybe we can work together.

Yes I think is better to work together, we have to decide few things, like what kind of style. I prefer to find another way that Minecraft has chosen, a little bit more realistic... but that can be between realist/simple. What do you think ? (Maybe we can make another topic for that)

[sapier]

@r_kAY problem with 3d animals ain't primary that i needed help (i'd gladly accept it either). Reason why I didn't put more efforts in this topic is that I had a conversation with celeron and I don't think he wants to add the patches required to create 3d animals.

He wants to keep minetest simple for low performance clients.

And of course adding multiple entitys to one position to create a animal is a solution but clean way would be to add 3d-object loading and handling support to minetest

EDIT1:
why not have multiple graphics sets? There are texture packs for minetest I don't think it's a problem having more than one graphics set for animals too.

By now there is only one set of graphics (mine was actualy not more than spacers) if there are more candidates there probably will be an election for "default" animals graphics set.

[r_kAY]

@sapier I think it is a great idea to have different settings based on your systems capabilities. So if you have a lower performance computer you can still use the program without any problems, but we could also get people with higher end computers that could run things with more detail so they don't get bored. So maybe if it was added in the game itself the options could have a certain switch for 2d or 3d. Or you could just have two different downloads.
@rinoux I like that your animals are realistic, but I would like to add some details. I don't want to copy minecraft's animals. The only reason I would prefer animals with a more cartoon base is because the realistic features don't fit quite well. So I want to find a way to make it fit a little better.

[MrThebuilder3]

what about a mob that blows up when to close *cough* creeper *cogh*

[sdzen]

maybe shape it like a bomb-bomb

[MrThebuilder3]

lol

[mcburgerbob]

lol IKR?

[sapier]

I hated those creapers in minecraft but if anyone provides graphics I'll add it ;-) Won't be a big deal either all parts are already in just need to put it together a little bit different.

By the way did anyone encounter the plasma- and fireballs by now?

[r_kAY]

Do you want just a plan ole' creeper or a different style? and what size would be best

[sapier]

I thought about same size as the vampires. You'll find examples in templates folder too.

That is just a quick sketch of one in a bomb shape.

[rahonejm]

creeper screenshot! creeper screenshot!

[sdzen]

like it its comical

[Melkor]

creeper!

[sapier]

Just rewrote/modified movement generator now supporting jumping movement as well as flying movement. Both needed to add rats and fish.

I didn't add fishing rods by now but nets instead (you need it to catch rats as well)

There have been lots of changes to movement system so please tell me the bugs I added!

I didn't add all the fishes by now because of not knowing how to name them and didin't wannt to call them "fish1" "fish2" .... If anyone tells me names I'll add them next.

BTW current fish spawns in shallow water with dirt ground. I'd like to spawn the other fish in different environment so if anyone can provide reasonable habitat information for them I'd greatly appreciate it.

[jordan4ibanez]

good job sapier..this is quite fast and light for many mobs working on my server at one time :)

[sapier]

Thanks, glad to hear its working good. I didn't do performance tests in real life environment by now.

[rahonejm]

hey sapier, can you do some sort of "light" version of the mod? You know, a version that not so many animals spawn at the same time to don't lag everything, just like happens in my pc :(

[sapier]

@rahonejm what exactly is the problem

a) to many animals in total
b) to many animals being added at once
c) something i didn't understand

"a" shouldn't happen because of the animal density (except of vampires)
and b shouldn't happen either as chances for adding an animal are really low (except of vampires too)

[rahonejm]

Well, when i start the server with animals mod, i must wait a very long time so all the animals can spawn. But then, even with all the animals spawned, i get very lagged (things like don't putting a block when you click, or blocks you've collected appear again) 'cause i can see in the console that every step that i do it appears: "Spawnig animals at blablablabla"
"Spawnig animals at blablablabla"
"Spawnig animals at blablablabla"
"Spawnig animals at blablablabla"
Hope you understood XD
