Check out the 3d_armor mod by Stu, I added crystal armor and a lava protection system that hurts the player when they aren't wearing full crystal armor... That may help you out here... https://github.com/stujones11/minetest-3d_armor/tree/master/3d_armor Thank you. I know about the 3D armor mod, and...

The problem with the damage system of minetest is, that it is partly client side. Since recently, you can disable any damage dealt to a player with minetest.register_on_player_hpchange, but there is no way the server would know, what dealt the damage. With the rest, I can't really help, sorry. Inte...

Thanks for this Mod, installed it yesterday not used it yet, but wil be very useful in future city building projects.. ^_^ No problem, and glad that people are liking this mod! Make sure to update to latest GIT master... I found and fixed some minor bugs and crashes soon after implementing and anno...

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/2852 EDIT: Could you please make a list of issues that ought to be fixed for this mod? I really want to see your game and want to help creating it. (And I might use this mod for another subgame). Wow... thanks for fixing that so quickly! To be honest, the l...

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2851 I recently noticed that, if an entity is attached to another entity or a player, it no longer has a collision box, even if self.collisionbox is present. Would it be possible to make collision boxes work for attachments please, so that they can be punc...

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/2827 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/2738 These might be interesting for this mod. Thank you for creating and mentioning these pull requests! They are both problems that affect my mod directly, as I noticed since the first days after I put it toge...

Oh my, look at the clock! It's time to revive the Minetest VBO support thread again! Ok... I'm not trying to be annoying by bumping this thread every few months. It constantly comes back to mind as I notice that Minetest's FPS per draw distance is seriously not as good as it could be. This is such a...

Since over the next months I'm planning to draw closer to building my game, I'm still highly interested in a freely licensed texture pack of good quality! Anything more that people can share for this thread please? I'm now hoping for a set of x32 textures over x16, similar in design to John Smith te...

Hah alright, well, I'm currently working on some public domain textures though - those might come in handy for you. http://i.imgur.com/P29fuQb.png Thank you for releasing such great textures as always. Even if you decided to cancel Voxus for Minetest, offering such quality media still helps and wil...

A heads-up: I have re-licensed the code from WTFPL to LGPL. This mod has grown into a pretty large project, and as such I think it needs a clearer and less controverted license. Since LGPL is the license Minetest itself is released under, while I exclusively want all of my code to be free but always...

I seriously believe my Creatures mod is something I can offer to this thread: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9240 It is based on PilzAdam's SimpleMobs, although at this stage it's been so heavily rewritten it's mostly the code layout that remains recognizable. Make no mistake how...

Support for multiple road systems per town in Structures mod.

I have a great update to share today, related to the mod's road planning system; Although most users probably never noticed this problem, Structures had a major limitation ever since roads were implemented years ago: Roads would always branch from a single point, which was placed at a random positio...

For today's update, I have some slightly bad news and some very good news. The bad news is that I won't be able to add item pickpocketing like I announced. It turns out that for some reason, attached entities cannot have a bounding box, meaning you can't select worn items by looking at them. Conside...

I'm sorry for the double post. But for those interested, here is the final version of the function which I'll be including in my mod, simplified to only 5 lines of code but with the same result: -- returns the angle difference between pos1 and pos2, as seen from pos1 at the specified yaw and pitch f...

Thank you everyone, especially TeTpaAka and Nore. All problems were at last solved, and the code now reports the angle difference between entities like it should! You get 0* when standing right in front of the mob, 90* when standing parallel to either side, 180* when standing behind... whereas flyin...

For player:get_look_yaw, it works with my formula. Could it be, that for entities, the yaw has another reference point? Anyway, could you try flipping x and z (again, sorry). It seems to be : 90 180 ------- 0 90 When it should be: 0 90 ------- 90 180 I'm testing the code from the mob's point of vie...

My code is correct. But you have to invert the order in vector.subtract. To get the direction from one point to the other, you need to subtract the origin from the target, so vector.subtract(pos2, pos1) should return the right vector. The 90- has to be removed and the formula in yaw2vec reverted to...

Yes, we want to compete to minecraft but not only this issue, we cant even bind/use most of keyboard buttons :/ These reasons made Voxus like games cancelled which could be minetests future. Agreed. With the disclaimer that "compete to Minecraft" does not mean "copy Minecraft", ...

Its should have been already included after 5 year development, its a big gap in this game. I agree. It's clearly a large limitation, which doesn't allow making items do a lot of things (because it looks bad). I hope attention can be brought to this issue... I don't think a simple way to override t...

So this code is reaching the point where getting it to work requires rocket science. I brought the matter up on IRC, and thankfully many coders were willing to help... sadly none ultimately succeeded, although it is much closer now. Nore adapted the code posted by TeTpaAka, while TheWild rewrote par...

Alright, I'm trying to implement this now (TeTpaAka's version). I don't seem to get how the functions and vectors work exactly however. Basically, this is the test function I put together so far, which currently just prints the values: local function in_fov (pos1, pos2, yaw, pitch, fov) local functi...

I did FOV in my version of simple mobs for Adventuretest. https://github.com/Bremaweb/adventuretest/blob/master/mods/mobs/api.lua#L148 This is where I found the formulas, very helpful reference. http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/07/linear-algebra-for-game-developers-part-2/ Aha... very useful! Is it oka...

Today has been yet another day full of crazy new features. This is what has been added since last night: - Items can have two special functions in their definitions: on_mob_wield, which executes per mob think while the item is wielded by the mob, and on_mob_punch, which executes if the mob punches s...

Wielded items were also implemented for mobs today. Here are the results:

Today has been a crazy day for this mod and the new items module. Here is the full list of new features that got added: - The old drop system was removed and mobs were finally given actual inventories. Since Lua entities can't have real inventories, they are stored in a table but still as item stack...

Yep... my point as well: If Unity is proprietary, anything based on it should be considered such. That would be like if Irrlicht was commercial, or free but closed-source... Minetest wouldn't be truly open-source even if its code was the same as now.

I find this partly funny and partly sad. Of course, you have to use whichever engine you consider is best. But I honestly don't think Minetest is so bad that developers have to switch away from it, especially at such a late stage. More so to one based on Unity, which is not (fully) open-source from ...

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2813 I found a weird and annoying issue with attachments. As much as I implemented the initial attachment code, I cannot figure out what is causing this and why. It might be an Irrlicht bug, although I'm inclined to suspect something Minetest side as well....
