[Mod] Not So Simple Mobs [3.0] [nssm]

[npx]

We will be honored to see some of them in your subgame, but we suggest you to wait the next release! Because we are correcting bugs, improving animations and textures and developping many new monsters! Good luck with your Dungeontest which seems amazing...

[Don]

Any chance of seeing aliens in the future?

Aliens? What kind of aliens would you like?

[Minetestforfun]

New models for Stone Monsters and Mesemonster are a really great idea, and your models are really well done, keep up the good work, and don't forget to share us the .b3d file =)

[mahmutelmas06]

Your models are awesome. Thanks you

I just want to suggest you to make a dinasour pack.

Thanks to everyone! MInetestforfun, don't worry we will share all the .blend files as in the previous release. We are working on something more particular and surprising than Mese and Stone monsters! You will love them! Mahmutelmas06 it already exists a wip dinosaur modpack... Christian9 is making it, we have sent to him, in order to help, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and a Pterodactylus models... Here it is the discussion viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11266, we hope he will end soon. It will be an interesting mod.

New version uploaded, look at the first post!

[mahmutelmas06]

This new version is amazing.
Thank you

- By the way i think dragon was also very nice model.

Important info: you should make all sounds mono (not stereo), to play correctly in 3D, right now it plays same for everybody on the server without any distance or direction correction. That is OpenAL requirement, iirc. (notice, tnt_explode is already in mono). By making sounds mono you will be able to tell where exactly sound is coming from.

And yes, that mod is amazing!

[AiTechEye]

really good update & work XD

But there should be a lime for some mobs, like when the duckking & scorpions spawns more mobs at same place, it made the game froze a few times..

Thank you for your precious advice and for appreciation.
In the first post, temporarily, I've uploaded a zip with the mono sounds! We will integrate it in the mod in the next release.

[Christian9]

Is that a phoenix?!IS THAT A PHOENIX?!?! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

[Minetestforfun]

Are all monsters of this mod animated ?

[Christian9]

Are all monsters of this mod animated ?

Yes, I've tested them all. BUT OMG A FLIPPING PHOENIX!(my former mod team was called mythical mods and the logo had a phoenix.so I'm d*** excited)

[npx]

Thank you every body for your appreciation! We're glad you're enjoying our work!
Yes, I confirm all the mobs are animated!

What do you mean by: "a lime for some mobs"?

[Nathan.S]

I believe they meant limit, not lime.

Ok,
for what concerns the duckking if you find that its attack slows down the game you can change its shoot_interval parameter in the file "duckking.lua", maybe we will adjust it in the next release.
Instead for what concerns the Masticoni (they aren't scorpions;)...) there is a way to get rid of them, you only need to find it!;)

[AiTechEye]

like a max number for mobs that is spawned by other mobs.

The duckking, it spawning more and more ducks, it never ends (same with the scorpions if something keep killing them)
that made my game could not handle them :-)

I have a laptop with win10 64bit, 8ram i7 so my pc is not slow.

Thank you for your advice, we are going to work on it to find a solution for the next release.
For now, if you want to speed up your game you can modify some parameters:
- in "duckking.lua" as I said you can change its shoot_interval. Remember that the duckking its not going to shoot at you if you're far from him and you use for example bow and arrows to hit him;
- in "darts.lua" you can modify the "duck_explosion_direct" and the "duck_explosion" functions to decrease the number of ducks that are spawned every time the duckking shoots. Moreover you can also try to disable the spawn particles that sometimes slows down the game.
For what concerns the Masticoni you only need to find a way to kill them without making them respawn;)

[AiTechEye]

i already did that :-)
i have made 2 mods with a few kinds of mobs too.

OMG, I've never feared playing so much with all of these new monsters waiting in the darkness... Is there any way to reduce the model sizes so they can be added to servers ?

Thank you for your appreciation! It means a lot to us, because we are great admirers of your work on Minetest! Making playing Minetest more dangerous was our goal!;)
Unfortunately, the strong point of our mobs is the complexity of the models, so it could be very difficult to reduce their size. Maybe a way is to reduce the number of bones and faces, some animations which are really articulated and also some textures that maybe have a too high resolution.
Are you interested in some mobs in particular?

[mahmutelmas06]

How about this ?

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

visual_size = def.visual_size or {x = 1, y = 1},

[npx]

I think he means how much the models are heavy (some of them also 3 MB), not their visual size

[tulenitata]

it's even better than before but I miss the dragon

[npx]

Thank you!
If someone else miss the chinese dragon we've attached to this post the model and the texture...
We have also made a video trailer of the mod, check the link on the first post and enjoy it!
