pets

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar This is a big list and not everything has to be added as I say but this is my perfect idea If you have any ideas please let me know

First things first there should be a limit on the amount of pets active I think 1 or 2 is good

Pets are found as items called capsules (someting similar to a pokeball but is more pill shaped) NOTE you should not be able to capture a pet in the wild (like you can in Pokemon)

You can Right click with the capsule in hand to spawn the pet Right click with the capsule in hand again if a pet is active and it will deSpawn the pet (NOTE if you die the pet will also be deSpawned) If the pet is deSpawned you can just respawn it by Right clicking with the capsule in hand :)

Pets shuld be able to follow the player fairly good (if they get too far away they teleport to the player (owner of pet)

Pets shuld not have a bitbox (so they Don't Get in the way in small Spaces) You should also not be able to hurt them

Capsule may need a better name

Pets shuld only be found in dungoens and other chests also venders should sell them They should be found very rarely (they should not be common so you have to put effort into getting one) The ones sold at the vendor shuld be extremely rare and expensive (this is to encourage people to find there own pets)

Next is accessories having some accessories for some pets would be cool like a tophat and monocle for the slime pet And a flower for the Cubelet's head glasses for the pub and so on

Next is pet color (skin) variation there should be multiple versions of the same Pet like the Cubelet's Can have the grass skin and maybe also a cobblestone version and the pug can have a black skin and so on How this is done I don't know maybe with a pet station so you can put your pet capsule in there and select a color or something like that

Also a pet capsule holder wuld be nice (is basically a block and you can put your pet capsule in it And your pet will stay in the radius of that block) this is good to have your pet walking around in your house

@tacigar what's your take on this what are your ideas

[GreenXenith]

Flying banana. Under-sized lemur.

[tobyplowy]

@GreenXenith ok thats weard but it can be somting for https://github.com/D00Med/farlands/issues/97

[GreenXenith]

I was half-joking :P

[tobyplowy]

cubelet.zip

[GreenXenith]

Yes. Just yes.

[tobyplowy]

I was half-joking :P

that doesent matter i need weard stuff for loot

[tobyplowy]

cubelet is inspierd by the Blocklings mod for mc

[tobyplowy]

i dout take credit for the idea

[D00Med]

@tobyplowy too bad, nice idea :P

[Desour]

Flying banana.

Use banana as boomerang!

@tobyplowy I like that minion. I think, we need a pet API. Make the pets follow the player, maybe teleport them near player if they are too far away. Don't make a way to make the pet stop at a position. Use items to spawn pets. Perhaps only one pet active once. Give the player advantages of the pet.

[D00Med]

@DS-Minetest That's a good idea, mobs_redo isn't very good for pets

[tobyplowy]

@D00Med minetests new mob api maybe good hopfully they will work on it in the next unstable

[D00Med]

@tobyplowy yeah hopefully

[tobyplowy]

@D00Med well looks like the new mob ai is abandond :/

[D00Med]

@tobyplowy That's a shame :/

@DS-Minetest wuld you bne interested to make the pet api for V2 or V3?

[tobyplowy]

pug.zip

[Desour]

wuld you bne interested to make the pet api for V2 or V3?

Nah, I'm rather inexperienced with mobs and I don't think I could make anything nice soon.

[tacigar]

@tobyplowy Should we discuss pet API here?

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar yes

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar I updated the top comment to show you my idea (keep in mind that it is just an idea) I'm interested to hear what you think about it

[tobyplowy]

But, what should pets do?

They can do all kinds of stuff like there can be a glow worm pet that gives light (usefull for if you're in caves)

Some pets can attack enemies

Maybe we can add a mimic chest pet that follows the player and you can use it as mobile storage (Basically it's a walking chest)

And many more we have to come up with some so if you have more ideas please let me know :)

Do you need functions such as farming, cutting trees, etc.?

Not really but we do need that stuff for our vilagers (they are very stupid XD ) I can make an issue for that if you rather work on that

[tacigar]

Pets shuld not have a bitbox (so they Don't Get in the way in small Spaces) You should also not be able to hurt them

Sorry, I cannot interpret it. Does It meen that pets don't have collision box?

Also a pet capsule holder wuld be nice (is basically a block and you can put your pet capsule in it And your pet will stay in the radius of that block) this is good to have your pet walking around in your house

Sorry, I can not imagine...

I will update villagers next time. Now I just do Pet API :)

[tobyplowy]

Sorry, I cannot interpret it. Does It meen that pets don't have collision box

Yes You should be able to walk through them as if they are ghosts (as if they are not there)

Sorry, I can not imagine...

It's a block and you can put the pet capsule (pet spaun item) in it, the pet will stay close to the block so that the pet can walk around in the house

I hope I'm not using to many complicated words (also don't feel bad for not understanding) I can emagine English to Japanese is hard to translate :)

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar maybe you should translate the inportant points in to Japanese so that you don't have to read my big comment Everytime :)

[tacigar]

@tobyplowy Thanks, I almost understood.

I hope I'm not using to many complicated words

Yes, thanks. I can understand words, but I'm confused when I try to understand the meaning of long sentences :( I will do my best to get to the meaning of the sentence quickly.

[tacigar]

maybe you should translate the inportant points in to Japanese so that you don't have to read my big comment Everytime :)

Thanks for your advice :)

[tobyplowy]

Thanks, I almost understood

Almost so that's not all, what do you not understand yet? (I can explain it)

Thanks for your advice :)

Haha no problem :) I need to thank you

[tobyplowy]

@MarkuBu what bransh shuld tacigar work on is the 1.1 bransh good?

[Desour]

Yes You should be able to walk through them as if they are ghosts (as if they are not there)

Better set an infinitely small selectionbox, a normal collitionbox, physical to true and collide_with_objects to false, else the pet will fall through floor.

[MarkuBu]

@tobyplowy I assume it is a mod and nothing is changed at MTG, so go ahead and add it to 1.1

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar I guess you have all the information you need any other questions?

[tacigar]

Better set an infinitely small selectionbox, a normal collitionbox, physical to true and collide_with_objects to false, else the pet will fall through floor.

I see :)

@tobyplowy Thanks, I will begin to make API. I will ask if something I do not understand comes out :)

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar can you make it for the 1.1 branch https://github.com/D00Med/farlands/tree/1.1

[tacigar]

@tobyplowy OK

[tacigar]

Is directory name mods/pets_farlands, OK?

[tacigar]

or customize "mobs_redo" mod?

[tobyplowy]

Is directory name mods/pets_farlands, OK?

Yes that's perfect :) Sorry for the late reply (we have different time zones)

or customize "mobs_redo" mod?

No that's probably not a good idea :)

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar we use discord to talk so if you are interested https://discord.gg/wEGywb

[tacigar]

Sorry, I have been late replying :(

OK I'll make a new directory.

[tacigar]

@tobyplowy Oh... is discord VoIP? Sorry, I cannot speak English :(

[tobyplowy]

Sorry, I have been late replying :(

dount worry :D

wat is VoIP?

Sorry, I cannot speak English :(

what you are typing seems good to me

[tacigar]

VoIP stands for "Voice over IP". It is a service that you can talk on the Internet like Skype.

what you are typing seems good to me

I am getting a lot of help of Google translation :(

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar ah you can also talk with text on discord :)

I am getting a lot of help of Google translation :(

Japanese to English must be very good than (I can't say the same for other languages especially Russian XD )

So what will be the first thing you add for the pet api

And do you have any suggestions for pets (so I can make the models for you)

[tobyplowy]

@D00Med @22i we need animation for the above models

[tacigar]

@tobyplowy Sorry, for the late reply. OK, I join.

And do you have any suggestions for pets (so I can make the models for you)

I will write it when my idea is settled :)

[tacigar]

Sorry, discode invitation is expired 😭

[tobyplowy]

@tacigar there you go a new one https://discord.gg/Sju8qS

[tacigar]

@tobyplowy Thanks!

[tobyplowy]
