[Mod] Sprint [sprint]

[GunshipPenguin]

Allows the player to sprint by either double tapping w or pressing e. By default, sprinting will make the player travel 80% faster and allow him/her to jump 10% higher. Also adds a stamina bar that goes down when the player sprints and goes up when he/she isn't sprinting.

This mod is compatible with the HUD bars [hudbars] mod, but does not depend on it. In this care, a green HUD bar will be displayed, also showing a number. If this mod is not present, a standard statbar with 0-20 “half-arrows” is shown, which is a bit more coarse than the HUD bar version.

Speed while sprinting, jump height while sprinting, and other things can be configured. See README.md for details.

Very nice. With this, I can look for a way to tune down the default run speed. This helps a lot.

For the future, I post a copy of sprint.tar.gz as an attachment here, just in case Sendspace deletes the file at some point in time.

Edit: OK, now since this mod is on GitHub, I recommend downloading it from GitHub instead. My copy is probably outdated now. ;-)

[Bas080]

Good mod! I changed movement_speed_walk to 2.7 so Sam happily walks down stairs instead of dropping. And changed the SPRINT_SPEED to 2.5 for a quick sprint.

[philipbenr]

I suggest using GitHub or some better online hosting service.

[Vazon]

There is a way to adjust the player running speed already in the minetest.config. Unless I misunderstand this mod is kind of pointless in the matter

He uses set_physics_override to to increase the player's speed when they double tap 'w'.

Very clever mod, I will probably adapt this into Adventuretest so players can sprint without a fast priv, and the fast priv can be reserved for very fast movement for admins/moderators.

[GunshipPenguin]

Thanks for all the feedback everybody.

Double-tap is annoying and hurts fingers; it'd be a better idea to use the “special” key, which is available for players without the “fast” privilege (which is what this mod is intended for).

This way, players with “fast” privilege can still go very fast if needed.

For hosting, I suggest learning some Git (very useful for mod development, it's often used in here) and using Gitorious.

Or Github. Calinou doesn't use it because technically it is proprietary, but choose whichever one you want.

[GunshipPenguin]

Took your guys's advice, project is now on GitHub.

I think I know what's causing this. Did this happen when you were playing with multiple people, or just singleplayer?

EDIT: Just made a commit that I think should fix this, try it out.

[trainwrecktony]

Was playing on my server , 3 players online, just me using the feature
New commit seems to be working so far no crash will update if happens

[Minetestforfun]

Very good mod, i haven't crash yet :)

Can you add a stop sprint when a player do a mouse click ?
Can you add a sprint effect for the first player view and the model, like a fast movment effect ? (like Mine****t ... ?)

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

I modified the code so the player will stop sprinting when the right mouse button is pressed. I'm not sure that I want it to be included in the Github repo though, so I uploaded it to Sendspace for you. Let me know if you find any bugs and I'll do my best to fix them.

You can toggle stop on sprint by changing the STOP_ON_CLICK variable and you can toggle which mouse button stops the player with the STOP_KEY variable (Set it to "RMB" for right mouse button and "LMB" for left mouse button, by default it is "RMB").

As for a sprint effect like Minecraft, I wanted to do that, however, I couldn't find a way to increase the player's FOV while sprinting and I'm not sure how I would go about creating sprint particles behind the player's feet like in Minecraft. If I figure out how to do that, I'll include it in the mod.

[Minetestforfun]

Thank you for your work, i try soon your modified code !

EDIT : it doesn't work with the stop_key define like that :
STOP_ON_CLICK = true
STOP_KEY = "RMB", "LMB"

[4aiman]

So.. the old sprinting was abandoned?
Does the new one considers there maybe other mods that change physics?
What about stop sprinting if a player has touched a wall?

The way I've written it, you can't use both mouse keys to stop the player from sprinting. I made another modified version where the player will stop sprinting if either the left mouse button or the right mouse button is pressed. It's also hosted on sendspace: https://www.sendspace.com/file/co5ccd

I don't get what you're trying to say. I didn't change any code in the repo on Github, I just made a modified version and uploaded it to sendspace for Minetestforfun.
Also, I'll look into stopping sprinting if the player hits a wall.

[Minetestforfun]

@4aiman
Very good idea !
Maybe it is an future feature that would promotes creating jumping-levels [subgame/mod]

@GunshipPenguin
Ok, thank you, i try it soon

EDIT : it works perfectly, thank you

[4aiman]

@GunshipPenguin
You, probably, won't get it at all, since you have only 6 messages which, in turn, means you're probably rather new here.
The old sprinting mod is buried somewhere @forum.minetest.net and I can't seem to find it.
So, nevermind the prelude. You got the question quite right.
Regards!

Ah, I see. Sorry for any confusion.

[GunshipPenguin]

Added particle effect while sprinting and made sprinting a bit smoother.

[GunshipPenguin]

Cleaned up the code, updated the readme, and added the ablility to limit how much players can sprint via the SPRINT_STAMINA variable.

[Don]

Nice work!
