[Modpack] 3D Armor [0.4.8] [minetest-3d_armor]

[stu]

Please merge this to make it compatible with inventory++:
https://github.com/stujones11/minetest-3d_armor/pull/2

Done!

Thanks ! By the way, would your commit (you know, the one reverted :/) fix the problem with "HD" skins ?

Yes, the wieldview model would have a separate UV for skin, armor, wielditem & shield so they could all be completely different resolutions.

You should reopen the pull request, since now we're sure the problem is coming from Pavel_S's model (aren't we?).

I am as sure as I can be without seeing his .blend files. It does not seem to break any other models. I will re-open the pull request once I have done some more tests with other existing mods. There probably needs to be some entity modelling guidelines written in lua_api.txt

It will get intresting if mobs (those from sapiers animals mod) can wear that armor. Might look decorative on them and offer new ways of equipping towns/buildings with...er...living decoration :-) On more adventure-based worlds, they could handle out quests.

[Josh]

This should be added to deafult if we got mobs in the future, otherwise this is useless in the deafult game (unless you have a Mobs mod)

[addi]

no you dont need mobs, it protects also falling, fire, and lava, and the damage of other players (surival)
so its also very usefull without mobs

yes a fighting "home wolf" that attacks other people if they are too near to the house wuld be great :-)

Sorry, forgot to mention that. I also forgot to update the version number in the topic subject title, now fixed.

Armor has been given a true 3d appearance.

nice!

Added boots and removed shields.

why did you remove shields? they were truly nice and unique! if you could make a version with shields, or at least add shields as a separate mod, that would be great.

yeah the sheilds were awesome why get rid of them i agree with mito.

[Inocudom]

I too would like for the shields to return. They distinguish the armor of this mod from what is found in Minecraft.

[Zeg9]

Please add the shields back :'(

[BlockMen]

I prefer the suggestion to add the shields as seperate mod (or mod extension).

The boots are great and suits the player better.


Good work and awesome Mod btw!

[Jordach]

Have the shields and boots. Everyone wins.

Of course, I don't think anyone wanted to remove the boots anyway...

[stu]

Wow, I didn't expect such a reaction from removing the shields. I will add them back again asap.

I agree with these comments. Personally, I think it should be one or the other but then it's not all about what I want.
The best solution is to add them back as a seperate mod that can be simply deleted if not required, shouldn't be too difficult just a bit of a PITA re-doing all the UV mapping...again.

Thank you all for your comments.

Armor has been given a true 3d appearance. - hmm ok
Added boots and removed shields. - added boots is ok but do you realy need it? and why have you removed the schields?
Added diamond armor. - diamond armor is a bit unrealistic isnt it?
Removed more_armor mod. - why? mithrill is more realistic than the diamond one

Major overhaul of the codebase, hopefully making this modpack a lot more server-friendly.
Should cause very little (if any) server lag, please let me know if you find otherwise. - ok this is the only reason why i thougt over an update

there are too much "features" that i dont want. :( so i keep at the old version

I myself like the mithril armor, as it gives mithril a true reason to exist (gold armor could be made too.)

Moreore's silver, tin, and mithril could be added to the base game one day, as they would give players more variety in terms of ores (this would also make it easier to support mithril armor, which could be stronger than diamond armor.)

what about using mithril as re-enforcement for the armor for example you can mix mithril and iron armor to make iron armor+ instead of adding a new type of armor?

[Zeg9]

+1 but mithril should be in minetest_game and mithril armor in the main armor mod.

Shields have now been re-included as a separate mod.

I am sorry that you feel that way addi, I didn't think there would be many people still using moreores since most of them are now part of minetest_game. Version 0.2.3 of 3d_armor is still available as a branch on my github, however, I would recommend using the new version if you can. It really wouldn't be hard to edit 3d_armor/init.lua and subsitute diamond armor with mithril armor, in fact the old more_armor mod could probably still be used with current version, although I haven't tried that.

[Mito551]

you could make mithril armor for dwarves. just saying.

I love your dwarves game mito and would happily maintain a branch of 3d_armor especially for it. Please let me know exacty what you would like to be added/modified/removed and I will do that for you.

Edit: I just realized that I forgot include a craft registration for the diamond shield, fixed in current git.

[Mito551]

sounds great! actually, see for yourself. there's a number of materials you can use to make armor. ebony, mithril. you could also add jewelry as I have gold pieces and gems.

i was thinking of dwarves game as a new standart, different from minetest_game. like people would make mods for dwarves the way they make them for minetest. well, it didn't work out as well as i expected, but i'm glad that you would make a mod for dwarves. so, I'm most grateful.

I am having a problem where I can't equip shields. It was working fine for a while but then I loaded the game again and the shield slot disappeared. I didn't change anything about the mods or game files. What happened. I think the equip slots go like this:

Helmet
Chestpiece Shield
Leggings
Boots

Except on my game the shield slot disappeared. WTF.

I can only think that the shields are loading first then being overwritten by the armor, but this really should not be possible since shields depend on armor. First I would try downloading the mod again and re-installing it, if that fails then let me know.

If you are able, there are a couple of things I would suggest you try.

first try adding unified_skins & inventory_plus to the shields dependencies: shields/depends.txt so it looks like this

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

default
inventory_plus
unified_skins
3d_armor


Also you could try increasing the delay in shields formspec: shields/init.lua (line 50, near the bottom) find this code and change the 0 to 1.

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

minetest.after(0, function()

I would be very interested to hear if any of these suggestions work for you. In the meantime I will try to reproduce this problem in my own game.

Edit: Looking again at the code, if shelds were to load before armor it should actually crash (table expected, got nil) so I doubt it can be that afterall. If this is a miltiplayer game then try using a different player name, if singleplayer then try creating a new world.
