[Mod] Goblins [goblins]

[FreeLikeGNU]

Well if we are going to have mines, we should really have the option of goblins to populate the caves.

I've made a race of goblins with a new model based on the player character and new texture set.

[goblins] Goblins [mod]

This mod adds several Goblins (and Goblin Dogs) to Minetest games that will spawn near ore deposits or lairs underground.

Compatiblity

• Minetest Game (requires Mobs Redo)
• Mineclone 2 or VoxeLibre
• Mineclonia
• Hades Rivisited
• Repixture (requires Mobs Redo)
• Asuna (requires Mobs Redo)

Features

• In games supporting mapgen dungeons, Goblins may create their lairs. There are several settings available to modify how this works.
• Goblins can learn about edible foods from players!
• Some Goblins have loot filled chests nearby! Can you befriend or defeat these goblins?
• Goblins dig caves, destroy torches, create lairs, set traps, cultivate mushrooms and some are aggressive.
• Gobdogs will roam caves, bury bones and other items in soft terrain, eat meats. Some Gobdogs are aggressive!
• Basic trading with Goblins - the more you trade with a goblin, the more likely you will get things in return!
• Goblins have a territorial framework for location based interactions, if you trade with more Goblins of a territory
  your trades will be easier!
• Harming goblins will negatively affect your trade with all gobins in a territory!
• If you brandish weapons (including axes) around a goblin it may decide to attack!
• Goblins and Gobdogs will defend each other.
• There are many settings now accessible from the minetest menu -> "settings" tab -> "all settings" -> "mods" -> "goblins" list!
• tested with Minetest engine 5.4 through 5.10

Required Mods (only if using Minetest Game or Repixture):

• Mobs Redo by TenPlus1 API as of version 20200516: to run.

Optional Mods:

• Ambience Lite by TenPlus1 API
• Hunger NG by Linuxdirk

ENJOY!

[Napiophelios]

I love these little guys
I like this one the best; he is the only one that would attack me

[FreeLikeGNU]

Small update last night, see OP.

[Napiophelios]

We need a goblin king now :)

[ExeterDad]

This thread is VERY interesting. Keep up the good work :D

[FreeLikeGNU]

Nice one!
I'm planning on changing and using the texture filename convention of
goblins_goblin_<name>.png
EX:

Code: Select all

goblins_goblin_king.png

If you would like to make pull requests, please name new textures as such :D

[Napiophelios]

Yeah I cant upload textures to github

its uses gold helmet from SummerFeilds TP
so maybe would use their license (I think)

You cannot push directly to my repository. I'll add instructions for contribution soon to OP. Basically, you fork my repo in GitHub, clone your fork, make changes, commit, push back to your repo, then make a pull request.
It sound complicated at first, but is really quick once you grok it.

Or you can just post it here and I can make the changes ;-) for now.

Update mod, adding a goblin king, thanks to Napiophelios.
I have a server up at freelikegnu.org port 30000 with carbone-ng and goblins if you want to try it. You will want to use the dev build of 0.4.12 or 0.4.13 minetest.

I've been there briefly. You use carbone-ng with valleys mapgen (viewtopic.php?t=11430) isn't it?

At which depth should I find the goblins?

Yes I use those projects in my server. Goblins should be found below 0 and near ore deposits (with the exception of copper) in caves.

[Sokomine]

-Wield tools and weapons

That can be done using 3darmor's model. I've just recently added that to my traders.

In general: Nice model. Finally someone who might live in all those dungeons mapgen creates :-)

The server is also quite intresting. I joined and saw a nicely modelled jellyfish and some friendly turtles.

That's what I'm working on right now... :)

Take a look at the mapgen parameters. The position of caves and dungeons can be optained at mapgen time. The dungeons ought to be furnished a bit as well :-)

Thank you for the kind words!

Ah yes those are mobs added from TenPlus1 mobs redo conversions. That reminds me, I have to modify some fish to spawn in the new river_water used with the beautiful ValleysMapGen viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11430 by Gael de Sailly.

[Sokomine]

Yes, the mapgen is really very nice. I started in an area with a nice river, a hill with a red clay top, and diffrent trees around. It looked very nice and was fun to explore on its own. Havn't met any goblins yet though.

My jellyfish made it onto someone's server! And Sokomine called it "nicely modeled"! I'm so proud. ;)
The fish should already spawn in river water. Not sure why I didn't update the others with that yet. I will do that today sometime. Let me know if it's not working so I can fiddle with it.

[FreeLikeGNU]

I thinks the fish wont spawn because of the water_level check and some other things.... when I raised that, I got them to spawn at higher elevations, but they were spawning just above the water. I have to get ready for work so I cant go into detail at the moment. Here is the init I was using to test:

Thieving goblins added, tweaked spawn rate... enjoy!

[twoelk]

I have explored a bit, mined some and built a little hut.
So far so nice.
I mined to somewhere -30 but no goblins so far - except maybe if that thing that killed me before I saw it was a goblin although I would rather suspect an Oerki was that as I met some of those.

The mapgen definitly is interesting but while building my hut I noticed there was no red desertstone which I normally like to use for roofs. The rivers do give the landscape a more natural touch. I guess I will need to do some more exploring to study the landscape and the flight pattern of them birds that sort of took me by surprise. I wonder if the Oerkis chased the goblins away.

[FreeLikeGNU]

Another mobs_goblins update, see OP. I've also updated the server.

[Nathan.S]

Are the Goblins suppose to put out torches/knock them down, 'cause when I was recording my mod review video for this upcoming Monday I noticed them knocking all my torches down, just wondering if that is a bug or intentional.
