Add some ranged weapons #140

Open fluxionary opened 5 years ago

This is necessary before the introduction of hostile mobs (#94)

Mod candidates (that I know of):

the rangedweapons mod is a mess, most of the bullets ignore solid walls and go through everything...

It's sounding like I'll probably have to cobble this together from several other mods to get what we want.

Some feedback from users:

  1. Many players don't think guns fit the server, so probably won't go gun-heavy, if I use any.
  2. "Magic" stuff is very much out
  3. Things that shoot arrows (e.g. from https://github.com/minetest-mods/castle_weapons ) are a good fit
  4. Thrown weapons are good, even down to thrown rocks
  5. I personally like the idea of a boomerang, but I'm not super keen on writing that from scratch..
  6. Maybe a heat-ray based on the terumet mod, that lights enemies on fire? (convert a HEAT laser; power w/ heat)

  1. Use the fire flower from moreplants to throw fireballs like mario

So we currently actually have 2 ranged weapons that sort of got introduced w/out much thought - snowballs, and items flung from the hook mod's slingshot. These are actually probably both good things, but they need a bit more work.
