Copy/pasted and slightly changed, from an older post of me:

Games > modpacks > mods:
- when a mod is present under minetest/games (dark-blue) and under minetest/mods the one under minetest/mods will be taken (override the one from minetest/games).
- when a mod is present under minetest/games (dark-blue) and under minetest/mods, but in a modpack, the one under minetest/games will be taken (override the one from minetest/mods that's in a modpack).

There are more variations possible (giving headaches), so just only put in your mods folder the mods you actually are planning to use. For 'stocking' your collection of mods just create a directory/folder somewhere else on your computer.


Edit: In this context I mean mods with the same name, not mods with different names, creating the same block/creature etc.

Hi!,

Great mod, but wanted chime in I got the same error MTDad was getting:

With 2.4.2 and minetest 0.4.10, using and item with "replace_with_item" will bring down the server with;
"09:34:32: ERROR[main]: ServerError: /home/otto/.minetest/mods/animals/mobf/fighting.lua:1389: attempt to call method 'get_name' (a nil value)"

Is commenting out the best solution? I encountered the error using Eden game and using a bottle from the bees mod.

Thanks!

that mod is extremly buggy and i don't seggest using it

"Extermely buggy" Nice pun on the bees mod :) I updated to version 3.0 of the bees mod and will see what happens. Supposedly any item that gives you back an empty container crashes the server. I'll see what happens, but since kids seem to really like the bees mod I'll just do the commenting of line 1389 if I have to.

Thanks for the opinion stormchaser3000

Regarding the error below, it seems that problem was actually with the HUD mod (probably the hunger portion). I upgraded it from 0.5 that comes with the Eden Game to the newest version and the problem hasn't occurred when we tried to replicate it. My son and daughter are 7 and 8, so I am not sure if they are really doing the same series of events but they believe they are.

With 2.4.2 and minetest 0.4.10, using and item with "replace_with_item" will bring down the server with;
"09:34:32: ERROR[main]: ServerError: /home/otto/.minetest/mods/animals/mobf/fighting.lua:1389: attempt to call method 'get_name' (a nil value)"

if u dont see the items to spawn animals in ur inventory try to remove "animal materials"(only if u downloaded "animal materials" alone,if u didnt, then DONT delete the file inside the mod).can anyone tell me if they spawn automaticaly? or i can use command block to set them to spawn animals around the world? beside this,this mod is amazing!

You know I am sure I discovered a horse cantering across the desert.
I'm very impressed ;)

As far as I have gone with it, v0.4.11 seems to be a great improvement.

I still have an error about mobf server saying it can't write the new conf
from the old conf file, not sure why but allowing permissions on the file
had no effect, still get that error mesg.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks for your efforts, I love this game. :)

What's up with those screenshots?

Seems like the site "http://animalsmod.bplaced.net/" has lapsed, or maybe the author is moving to a different one?

I suspect Sapier has been too busy with core engine issues.

Would it be possible for Sokomines' models to be integrated into the master?
that would add butterfly, donkey, rabbit, swan, turtle
https://github.com/Sokomine/mobf_animals

i saw something in a license that states something about i can't remove a file or the mod i think. i would like some clairity on that. is it or is it not ok for me to remove the mod after i download it?

i have the said mods enabled in the mods menu. i just made some code edits so hopefully that isn't the reason for this. (code edits made to animalmaterials)

It didnt work for me

ERROR[main]: ModError: ModError: Failed to load and run /home/arjuna/.minetest/mods/animals/factions/init.lua

What can i do??

They're not mine :-) They where created by AspireMint. I just made them available as a mod. And AFAIK sapier was working on integrating them? Only problem was contacting AspireMint?

What you do in your local game is your own affair anyway. You can delete unwanted mobs from the modpack. I used to do that for hostile mobs in the past (can't really stand vombies running around freely; they ought to learn how to behave :-))

That's not a very informative error message. Did you manage to get it to run by now?

try older versions such as

You are running the latest version of minetest right?

Christian9 wrote:You are running the latest version of minetest right?

Pretty close. I run 0.4.11

Update to 0.4.12.
Its worth it

Don wrote:Update to 0.4.12.

OK I will do.
Only problem is Minetest Download page takes forever to load :( Of the many many times I've tried to load that ****, only a few times ever been sitting long enough to succeed.

Is there documentation for this mod? I started reading this forum, and came across a link on an early post, but that link is now broken.

There was also nothing on the wiki - I've created http://wiki.minetest.net/Mods/MOB_Framework in the meantime, and the cow article for now, and will try add documentation as I come across things, though since I only installed it today - and haven't played Minecraft before :) - I don't really know how it all works.

Hmmmmmmm I updated to 0.4.12, now it "works", animals spawn and move and stuff, but they can't interact with me enough, like sharks coming to attack me, eating from hand, etc. Or so it seems.

EDIT: Wow nice one greenman! :D

I'm somewhat new to Minetest myself and just installed this mod. Having a couple issues, one is with the documentation, but I take it others are too? The main problem is the lack of recipes picture at github. Also, cooking meat doesn't seem to work for me, assuming I am doing it right by putting it in the forge along with some fuel.

I'm trying to add documentation on the wiki as I can, mostly by looking things up in the Lua. I figured out how to make scissors today, so should be able to shear sheep :) I don't have too much time, but will add when I can. If you have any specific questions let me know and I'll try look them up, or let me know if you come across anything undocumented (there's still lots) for me to add.

You ought to install a craft guide. They're very practical. The mod unified_inventory might need some getting used to, but once you figured it out it's extremly practical. It has a very good craft guide, shows the blocks available, allows to copy craft receipes directly to the craft grid, comes with bags, has a nice gui for home...all a player could need :-)

It is also possible that there are no receipes for some items. The animals modpack spawns trader huts randomly on the map. Those huts contain traders which will happily sell you a saddle :-) It might be worth searching your world for such a trading post.
