FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Looking at the code, this seems to be impossible at the moment, but I can explain the behaviour at least: The engine first draws the item bar (+ the health and breath bars for compatibility with older clients. They are redrawn later, so we can ignore them for now) and then it draws the hud elements ...

Now need a xpframework/skillframework to work with this for create a RPG based server :)

Thanks you two.

I fixed a deprecation warning, so now we have 1.1.

Update:

Manual word wrap after 60 chars added. This looks fine in 800x600 but doesn't adapt to the screen resolution. But as long as there is no engine support, this is fine.

My TODO list is done, I declare this version 1.0.

My problem is, that the engine complains about deprecated usage: Deprecated usage of statbar without size! According to lua_api.txt, the size is: * `size`: If used, will force full-image size to this value (override texture pack image size) But setting the size to the dimensions of the image also af...

Update:

Central messages added for direct notifications when a quest changes and sound effects added.

Update2:

Quest metadata added.

Okay, I have released version 0.1.1. As I said, I have changed the way how the text is displayed, so this fixes issues with custom font sizes, gui scalings or multi-line texts, as pointed out by Hybrid Dog. This mod should now work no matter on the font or GUI scaling. However, there is a regressio...

Hi, Can you share with use when you think your mod will be 1.0/stable version ? Thank you in advance It should be stable now, though it still needs a lot of testing. The only things I plan to add are in the TODO list in the first post. After that, I will bump the version to 1.0. The functionality s...

It is fixed in current master. Thanks to arsdragonfly.

It is great mod, but i know to create many quests without gui interface is too long time and difficult for most peoples. This mod is designed as a foundation for other mods to work on. It is not directly for the end user as it is useless on it's own, only for mod creators. Anyway, I will try to imp...

TeTpaAka: The simple solution to wool regrowing is that during possession an influx of energy causes said sheep to quickly grow it's wool... ehe I thought of that, too. But gameplay wise, it is cheaty. You can simply possess a sheep over and over again and receive infinite amounts of wool. Also, th...

I really like the new additions. But I found, that sheep grow their wool back when they are possessed. Their state isn't transferred to the player. EDIT: http://irc.minetest.ru/minetest/2015-07-01#i_4304467 It should be more like 1.57 The yaw is calculated in radians, so 90 degrees are pi/2, which i...

Transforming the mesh is what the creatures mod does. It allows you to possess animals and humans.

The only real remaining problems are finding ways to disable the builtin fall damage and lava damage for players. Some mobs (like the stone monster) can bathe in lava without being hurt, but the player version cannot. I'm not sure how these overrides can and should be handled however... after all, ...

Another noticeable one which should be easy to solve is makes_footstep_sounds not working for players either (not disabling footsteps). Perhaps you could fix that one as well sometime, if you're doing work in this area please? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/2852 EDIT: Could you please ma...

These might be interesting for this mod.

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 :

When it should be:

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 ...

Strange. For me, the code works as expected. It prints "output is empty" until I put something in "in" and triggers allow_take and on_take when I take something. Though I had to add "default" as a dependency, so it doesn't override the inventory formspec. And you are ri...

Can you show me your code?

If it is in a node definition, you can use allow_metadata_inventory_put on the input field and use the elements of the inventory to call get_craft_result(). You can put the output in the output slot and then, with allow_inventory_take, you can decrement the input if someone takes the craft result.

You'd replace yaw2vec to a function that also takes the pitch to set the y value: local function yaw2vec(yaw, pitch) pitch = pitch or 0 return { x = math.cos(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), z = math.sin(yaw) * math.cos(pitch), y = math.sin(pitch) } end Edit: Fixed the code. You have to multiply x and z by m...

You need to convert the yaw to a vector and determine the vector between the two positions. If you got that, you need to measure the angle between the two vectors: local function yaw2vec(yaw) return { x = math.cos(yaw), z = math.sin(yaw), y = 0 } end Oh, it was that easy? Thanks! The yaw is the ang...

You probably want a pointer to the environment instead of a hard copy.

Also my compiler complains about the use of c++11. If you want this code to be included to the main codebase, you should avoid c++11.

NewColor.R = (Color1.R * Color2.R)/255
NewColor.G = (Color1.G * Color2.G)/255
NewColor.B = (Color1.B * Color2.B)/255

That's the difference between subtractive and additive colour mixing. Try this.

@TeTpaAka: No. Unless I update this mod, of course (sorry for late answer). But I am not sure what exactly you want here. For example: ⋅  A player gets hit by a spell that makes him blind for 20 seconds. ⋅  After 5 seconds, he gets hit again, this time with a spell that blinds h...

Take a look at api.lua.
or seem to be what you want.

There's one case where I don't like the warning. Sometimes when creating a namespace you don't want to depend on the order of execution. So you might write this in two or more different places: namespace = namespace or {}; namespace.var = ...; function namespace.func() ... end; I'd be nice to diffe...
