[Mod] D00Med mobs [dmobs]

[D00Med]

Yes

If you lack inspiration, a hostile water mob that would spawn in cave lakes would be nice to have ;-).

[D00Med]

Yeah that would be good :) the problem with water mobs is that they can spawn in very small ponds, or in player's farms. And they get stuck a lot.

What about spawning them on a maximum Y level of say -15 in order to drastically increase the chance of the water mass being quite large?

[D00Med]

That would certainly help

Giant phytoplankton.

Sorry I didn't saw this earlier. WTF

What about giant phytoplankton...that eat whales.

WTF intensifies

This is an excellent idea. This person is too clever.

That's what I did for sharks when I switched to Valleys MG (sharks in rivers!?). Not perfect, but that's an improvement.

This mod looks cool, I'll check it out.

Hi, I am trying to use this mod but everytime I activate it on the game, I can see a tiny window that says there were an error to activate this mod because it has non allowed characters. Only the a-z 0-9 characters are permitted.
Can you help me with that?

[Krock]

Only the a-z 0-9 characters are permitted.

Rename the mod directory to "dmobs". https://wiki.minetest.net/Installing_Mo ... ling_a_mod

It's a bug or i do something wrong?
UPD:fixed by using mobs:set_animation instead of set_animation in dmobs/api.lua

Question: how to heal my dragon?

[wziard]

Hi.

First, thanks for the wonderful mobs.

But... We have a true infestation of dragons badgers and pandas now :D

Is there an easy way to decrease the spawn rate (especially for the dragons?) somewhat?

And maybe increase the elephants :-)

edit: Hm, I looked in the code and the spawn rate of dragons is set to 64000, which seems very low. but still there's loads of them around. Maybe I need to update my mobs_redo? I'll experiment.

[gigomaf]

Yes that would work, but you can also go into init.lua and there will be a list of mob names in quotation marks, that you can just remove their names from.

Hi, I want to remove specific mobs (bad ones) and I get errors. I try to remove mob names from quotation marks, also I try to delete whole lines, no luck so far. Can you help?

[Astrobe]

You have to remove the whole line, not what's inside the quotes; or comment-out the lines with a double-dash like this:
local mobslist = {
-- friendlies
"pig",
"panda",
"tortoise",
"golem_friendly",
"nyan",
"gnorm",
"hedgehog",
"owl",
"whale",
"badger",
"butterfly",
"elephant",

-- baddies : go away! Double-dash sword best weapon!
-- "pig_evil",
-- "fox",
-- "rat",
-- "wasps",
-- "treeman",
-- "golem",
-- "skeleton",
-- "orc",
-- "ogre",
}

[gigomaf]

I did it, I still get ingame errors:

2019-03-14 07:36:33: ERROR[Server]: LuaEntity name "dmobs:ogre" not defined
2019-03-14 07:36:43: ERROR[Server]: LuaEntity name "dmobs:rat" not defined

I'm using Minetest 5.0.

gigomaf,

try redownloading the mod. the error you show indicates that something may not be installed.

It works perfectly fine until I will not comment-out certain lines, like below:

[Astrobe]

Hmmm... the scripts look inconsistent because in spawns.lua they try to spawn all mobs without checking mobslist (maybe it used to work fine with older versions of MobsRedo?). Try to comment-out the corresponding lines in spawns.lua too.

[gigomaf]

Removing mobs from init.lua working :) but I have to create new world (new game). When I try to remove some mobs from existing world, then I get errors. How to get rid of these errors, because I dont wan't to start over.

[Astrobe]

That's another story then. There are some "world cleaner" mods around, but they are more or less easy to use.

There's also the /clearobjects command, but it will remove all mobs indiscriminately (that may also include things you don't expect to be like mobs, but actually are) and you can't undo it.

A simple solution is to leave the mob definitions enabled but disable their spawning (in spawn.lua). No more will spawn, and the existing ones will disappear slowly because MobsRedo despawns mobs after some time.

If you only have animals and NPCs in your world, you can also try to enable the "only peaceful mobs" option of MobsRedo. If I understand the details correctly, it should remove any monster that comes in sight of a player.
