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

[onpon4]

You know, I've been wondering: what are the feathers for? Is there a crafting recipe you can use them in?

[sapier]

currently feathers are not good for anything there's a changeset to make wool from them but it's not added ... most likely it'll be added for 2.1

[deivan]

After the last update this mod don't is working any more, some problem with animalmaterial, init.lua, line 312.

[sapier]

@deivan already fixed in git as well as another bug

[deivan]

Nice. :D

[korkut]

Recent Minetest (I got 0.4.5) changed damage algorithm and made the mobs indestructable. I got pretty annoyed while trying to kill a chicken with a mese sword until I decided to just look up git commits and figure out what's wrong.

In api.lua, I found this function and added a workaround until a proper fix is in place.

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 mobf_add_mob(mob)

    --workaround for new damage algorithm for 0.4.5
    --armour_groups are no longer group rating but percentage
    if mob.generic.armor_groups then
        local old_armor_groups={30,50,100,133}
        for k,v in pairs(mob.generic.armor_groups) do
            mob.generic.armor_groups[k]=old_armor_groups[v]
        end
    end
...


Hopefully others won't lose some sleep trying to figure this out.

I added mobf to my local server, mod is succesfully loaded, but there is no animals? Nothing? How to get them, how to find them etc...
Do I need to add something to conf?

Tnx.

MOBs will only appear in newly generated areas. This means either going farther from origin in your current map, or creating a new map from scratch.

About this question from dove_g, here I see rats jumping to skies and sheeps invisible... :-/

I try download it from the primary site and when it's almost finished, my computer blocks it saying that it contains a virus, spyware, etc. And I don't know how to download from the second site.

Second link: click on the ZIP tab.

Thanks, the second link worked problem free

Scratch that, error comes up that says "ModError: Failed to load and run"

[oxenfreedan]

This is a funny thought! Can anyone tell me how old the mod version i am running? The animals dont lift they're legs and just sort of skim over the surface.

Tnx,
it works. I create new world, and there are all animals and vombies :).

[deivan]

Is possible make a spaw function to make some new spaws to old areas? My game is old and I have big areas without nothing...
About damages, I don't make damages in mobs and mobs don't make damage to me, I spaw a vombie and this one is doing damages, but still invincible. :-o

[MirceaKitsune]

Really hope this sill stop being laggy so it can be included in MineTest builtin. Still hearing mobs are pretty slow and that's why this is still a mod.

[deivan]

If this is a hard coded (in the game core) will be fast and effective but with lua the performance is a problem.

I love if the game have some IA, ready to use like create_creature(...,IA_HUNTER) then my creature use the ready-to-use IA_HUNTER to seek-and-destroy your target. :D

[Sokomine]

IIRC you can activate spawning in already existing areas. There is an option for that somewhere.

[kamarajitsu]

Can someone help with my problem? :(

[deivan]

Seek more details of the fail in your log file.

[kamarajitsu]

Seek more details of the fail in your log file.

I couldnt read all of it but says \animals_modpack-master\animalmaterials\init.lua:

[Sokomine]

That's not enough information. Please provide what it says after "\animals_modpack-master\animalmaterials\init.lua:" because those lines might actually help us helping you.

[sapier]

performance problems should be improved very much as soon as luajit is used, I've already done as much as possible within lua, but there are limits. Mobs need to do some calculations continously so they'll have some performance impact by definition.

I'm going to release first preview version of mobf this weekend so this is final call for feature request, everything not added until april 14th will be delayed until mobf 2.2.

Release date for mobf 2.1 is end of april.

Thank you Korkut, great help!

Sorry I'm very new to minetest and not used to doing things like this.

But this is what it says:


18:07:18: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA ===========

No need to be sorry. You're doing fine.

Since you downloaded the animals-modpack from the github, you downloaded the most recent version. It is a little bit further than 2.0.5. (That version goes to line 300, making it easy for me to understand what went wrong).

The extra is the use of feathers to make wool. Solution for the error:

1) Open the file: mods/animals_modpack-master/animalmaterials/init.lua
2) go/jump to line 312 that has only: )
3) add in line 312 a } before the ) like this: })
4) Save and exit or close and save

Should work now (I tested it)

Is there any manual how to use MOBF?

For example, my questions are:
1. how to catch vombie (hot to make vombie trap, what material is in middle?)
2. how to catch wolf?
3. what with animals, how to use them?
4. for what is used NET?

Tnx.

[Topywo]

Is there any manual how to use MOBF?
I couldn't find it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist.

For example, my questions are:
1. how to catch vombie (hot to make vombie trap, what material is in middle?)
{'default:wood', 'default:wood','default:wood'},
{'default:wood', "animalmaterials:scale_golden",'default:wood'},
{'default:wood','default:wood','default:wood'},

2. how to catch wolf?
As far as I know with a bone, it will be tamed

3. what with animals, how to use them?
You can shave sheeps with scissors, get milk from a cow with a glass get feathers from a chicken, get meat from animals, probably there are more possibilities.

4. for what is used NET?
As far as I know/tried, catching fish and the rat. The lasso is used to catch the bigger animals. With the saddle you can ride an ostrich

Tnx.

Generally you can get info by reading the lua files of the animal modpack. Here you can find crafting recipes and the code what entities (animals) or nodes/craft(ed) items are supposed to do.
Recommended init.lua's: animalmaterials, barn, trap
