Hey everyone,
I'm writing a fork of minetest a bit like Ace of Spades (well, I didn't need to rewrite the title :S). It will work by using the 3D player mod, and we will have to write something to append the weapon/tool/block/item/whatever to the hand.
We will also use many mods of minetest (modified of course), including the Gun mod (and many copies of it will be made, changing the strength etc...). We'll have to set block strength so that people can build defensive structures without too much worry of getting their structures destroyed (maybe an HP for each block?)
In a later release, we will also make more enemies, but we first need to have the 3D animals thing up. Once we have that setup, we can make a mode which could be co-op against zomies or enemies, or even another (human) team.

Anybody up to helping me make this? Ideas are welcome too :), oh, and graphics are really needed (maybe some sort of a ninja/secret-agent for the player?)

Joel.

i can do graphics if you wish my minetest portfolio

Awesome! I'm actually going to use the 3D player patch for this (I just need to figure out a way to add the weapon to his hand though). Can you convert the player images to the 3D player format?

by **sdzen** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 02:34

sure I just need to find the 3d player layout :P
edit: I found it here's the secret agent, ninja coming soon

by **lkjoel** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 04:53

Wow! Where is the image for that? I'm thinking of letting the player choose his skin (either ninja, secret agent, assasin, etc...).

I've made this suggestion to jordach once but that's so cool someone's trying to do it:D weapons in hand:)

heres all the ones i have currently may change soonish

download
still trying to find neck texture
edit: link fixed
update black ninja added weird spy smirk removed :P

by **lkjoel** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 18:28

Awesome! Maybe the ninjas could be black also? I was thinking of making only 2 classes, the secret agent, and the ninja.
The secret agent would be a tech wiz, but slow, and the ninja is totally off-tech, but very fast.
The secret agent could have heavy-duty guns, but maybe the ninja could have knifes (throwing weapon and melee). Maybe we could disable the J/E key for the secret agent, so that the ninjas can really have an advantage in speed, while the secret agents have a big advantage in strength

by **lkjoel** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 18:32

just a question, why is there a black pixel to the bottom-right of the secret agent's mouth?

by **sdzen** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 18:33

he is sewious and working on black ninja and the left one is his communicator

by **lkjoel** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 18:48

ok, so what about if we had some sort of a headset-style communicator? It looks like as if he is making a weird expression...

by **lkjoel** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 18:52

wait, nevermind, I see what you mean now. But it does look like as if he is making a weird expression...

by **sdzen** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 19:47

i can change it easily ninja number 3 is almost done check the above post at some point

by **lkjoel** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 19:59

yeah, maybe we should just remove that black pixel on the bottom-left of his mouth, it makes him look weird.

by **sdzen** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 20:36

i can!
or at least i remember someone bringing it up to someone some time ago>...

by **sdzen** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 01:42

black ninja is there hiding in the corner of my player model pictures and is now inside the download link

by **lkjoel** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 16:23

Awesome! I'm working on some code now... I just need some help from Krisi to explain me how his 3D player code works

by **lkjoel** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 16:48

I've got a new idea for the game: everything has an HP. If you try to mine stone, but you stop mining that piece of stone (so you haven't got it yet), it will remain cracked.

That reminds me of minicraft. :)

by **jordan4ibanez** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 20:13

wait did you seriously get in multiple character skins at once?

by **lkjoel** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 20:15

interesting. I think it's more like real-life, and also, people could attack bases.

by **lkjoel** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 20:17

@jordan, I don't fully understand what you are asking, but the skin depends on the class you selected.

thats what i meant

by **sdzen** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 20:34

i like the hp idea seems more realistic then the stone returns to its pure state

by **lkjoel** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 20:35

ok, here is the fork location. Nothing much was added, just some patches I found and some patches I made :)
