[Mod] Mobs Redo [1.62] [mobs]

[CrazyMinetestGuy]

Mobs aren't playing sounds for me. Why is that?

[TenPlus1]

@CrazyMinetestGuy - Press mute key just incase you hit it by accident, sounds are definitely working ok here.

[TenPlus1]

- Disable follow_stop switch (caused breeding mobs to stand still too much).
- Added 'mobs_disable_damage_kb' setting to disable knockback from damage only.

[TenPlus1]

- Added Brazilian Portuguese translation (thx Pixelzone)

Mob sounds don't work on my end. I'm inclined to think something might be broken.

[CrazyMinetestGuy]

Never mind, I reinstalled the API and it seems mob sounds play now.

[TenPlus1]

- Add 'replace' sound option.
- Tweak spawn egg Y position.
- Add white rat to mobs_animal.

[TenPlus1]

- Add reach option to replace function.
- Tidy spawn egg code.

[Nininik]

- Add reach option to replace function.
- Tidy spawn egg code.

Speaking of spawneggs, I have an issue. The masking is broken when a 32x32 texture is used. Before 5.10 it seemed fine. Updating to the new mobs API does not help.

[TenPlus1]

- Use Invisibility mods new API.
- add mobs:is_invisible(self, player_name) function.

@Nininik - I assumed that the smaller textures would automatically be upscaled to match the other, if that doesn't work then matching sizes or custom egg textures would be better.

[TenPlus1]

- Fixed setting typo in mobs:boom function (thx Bastrabun)

[Josselin2]

Sorry, here's another possible typo in water.lua:

Code: Select all

		action = function(pos, node)

			local num = #minetest.find_nodes_in_area(
					{x = pos.x - 1, y = pos.y, z = pos.z},
					{x = pos.x + 1, y = pos.y, z = pos.z}, {"group:water"})

			if num == 0 then

				num = num + #minetest.find_nodes_in_area(
						{x = pos.x, y = pos.y, z = pos.z - 1},
						{x = pos.x, y = pos.y, z = pos.z + 1}, {"group:water"})
			end

			if num == 0 then

				num = num + #minetest.find_nodes_in_area(
						{x = pos.x, y = pos.y + 1, z = pos.z},
						{x = pos.x, y = pos.y + 1, z = pos.z}, {"group:water"})
			end

Should we have y = pos.y -1 and y = pos.y + 1, rather than two identical y = pos.y + 1? (If it's not a typo, why bother calling minetest.find_nodes_in_area() ?)

[TenPlus1]

@Josselin2 - This is on purpose so it checks only the areas touching the water, like a +, and the last is the top position only. If possible keep questions to the appropriate forum thread.

[TenPlus1]

- Add nodes to immune_to ability.
- Add immune_to check to is_node_dangerous function.
- Update mobs_monster so crystal spider immune to crystal spike.

[TenPlus1]

- Check for env damage when riding mob.
- Tweak and tidy code.

[TenPlus1]

- Fix map_load chance check.

[Nininik]

What do the hearing vines do?

[TenPlus1]

@Nininik - If mob hearing and mob node hearing are both active, special nodes like the hearing vine will activate near a sound and can do certain things, like in mc with skulk sensor.

[TenPlus1]

- Fix gravity and jumping when riding mob.

[TenPlus1]

- Added new Lava Flan .b3d model (thanks AspireMint).

Hi, thank you for the amazing mob mods, TenPlus1! They've been wonderful to play with.

I want to make the Dungeon Master enemy from Mobs Monster drop an item from a new mod I made.

I want to handle the code in the new mod's files, so editing dungeon_master.lua isn't an option. I saw you mention this is possible by overriding the mob's on_spawn and using table.insert to add the drop to the self.drops table.

However I don't know the Lua syntax to use for this. How do I override on_spawn, and how do I specify this is for the Dungeon Master's on_spawn and self.drops? I'm confused how to override this in Lua within a new script from a different mod folder. I don't know how to reference the registered Dungeon Master in my code.

It would be great to have a way to quickly set a custom drop for an enemy that was defined elsewhere, like Mod B adding a drop for an enemy added in Mod A. But for now I'm just trying to figure out how to add a drop to the enemy within my mod's code.

Thank you again for the fun enemies!

[TenPlus1]

@Comet712 - It's actually a lot easier than that, so long as the mod.conf for your new mod has mobs_monster as a dependency you can do this to add new drops for any new dungeon master spawned:

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("mobs_monster") then

	-- get registered dungeon master entity.
	local ent = minetest.registered_entities["mobs_monster:dungeon_master"]

	-- insert a new drop (if min = 0 then drop only appears when killed by player)
	table.insert(ent.drops, {name = "default:diamondblock" chance = 1, min = 0, max = 2})
end

[TenPlus1]

I'm going to change the 'mob_height_fix' setting so that it is False by default. Please let me know if anyone has issue with this.

[TenPlus1]

- Default 'mob_height_fix' to False.
- Code tidy n tweak.
- Exploding mobs glow when about to explode.

[TenPlus1]

- Change armor level to 100 so animals dont die too easily.
- Change spider armor level to 100 for same reason.
