Re: Xanadu Server

Re: [Game] Minetest Defense

Hi I wasn't able to update this game because of schoolwork (I'm doing my undergraduate thesis right now). I uploaded the blend files to the repository. Also, I (accidentally) added the still-incomplete spider enemy "Aranay". It may be buggy. License is as it is in the license file. (This m...

No animation when setting bone position

When I set_bone_position, the model animation stops and the skeleton resets to the "rest" state. Is this intentional?
one case is when rotating the head of an object while the rest of the body is animated as usual.

Implemented two new features: Music This is intended to bring suspense to situations, and generally give some life to the game. Incidental music will play at certain events in the game. The music depends on the tension of the player. I haven't tested this on a network, so the timing may be bad on ne...

You can loop a sound if you specify an object/player or a position.


What about background music? It's a sound that loop-plays globally and not attached to an object.

How to get the name of an entity?

Edit:
Answered on IRC:
If object,
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
object.get_luaentity().name

If entity

Re: Animation Actions

People (uhh, 2 of them (including me)) were complaining on IRC about animations. So, I guess there is demand for an animation improvement. The main issue I'm addressing here is that animations are always looping. We can't sequence animations. Example real-world issues: As for animation issues.. imag...

Thanks for the feedback! Real quick, I downloaded the latest but the throwing mod folder is empty. The throwing mod is a git submodule in the repository.

I don't know if it's compatible with other mods. 1. I did not use any of the existing mob libraries/frameworks. 2. It breaks blocks! You may not want your server griefed by some mob. 3. It does not spawn automatically/independently. In this subgame, mobs are spawned by the Director. You should write...

I'm trying to make a new mesh model for a new mob I'm making. The tutorial at the wiki says I should join all the objects together to make the texture.
