GOBLINS MOD (Mobs Redo Addon) for MINETEST

by FreeLikeGNU

This mod adds several Goblins (and Goblin Dogs) to Minetest that spawn near ore deposits or lairs underground.

  • Goblins dig caves, destroy torches, create lairs, set traps, cultivate mushrooms and some are aggressive.
  • Gobdogs will roam caves, bury bones and other items in soft terrain, eat meats. Some Gobdogs are aggressive!
  • Basic trading with Goblins - the more you trade with a goblin, the more likely you will get things in return!
  • Goblins have a territorial framework for location based interactions, if you trade with more Goblins of a territory your trades will be easier!
  • Harming goblins will negatively affect your trade with all gobins in a territory!
  • If you brandish weapons (including axes) around a goblin it may decide to attack!
  • Goblins and Gobdogs will defend each other. You can have them defend other mobs by simply adding to: on_spawn = function(self) the following: self.groups = {"goblin_friend", "gobdog_friend"} in your own mobs definition!
  • There are many settings now accessible from the minetest menu -> "settings" tab -> "all settings" -> "mods" -> "goblins" list! these can also be defined in the settingtypes.txt
  • Goblin and Gobdog spawning is now configured from goblins_spawning.lua (at least until there is a way to easily change these with the setting menu :P )
  • A basic and optional (enabled in minetest setting menu) HUD is available
  • Goblins will quickly burrow to avoid light damage
  • tested with Minetest 5.2 and 5.30(dev)
  • based on MOBS-MOD by PilzAdam, KrupnovPavel, Zeg9, TenPlus1 https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9917

Todo:

  • cleanup codebase, parametric spawning/attributes of goblins
    • currently the goblins lua is large and cludgy. Idealy there will be one mobs_goblins:goblin mob registered, but it will take on appearance and attributes based on environmental factors where it is spawned. Nearly DONE (with goblin templates)
    • a goblin_type parameter needs to be implemented DONE
  • goblin related creatures and flora
    • goblins that are comfortable (near a fair amount of mossycobble, well underground -50 or so) should cultivate foods that goblins like: mushrooms (done), molepigs, beefworms.
  • There should be some pesky creatures such as large spiders, large cave rats, werechickens etc.
  • goblin waterways/sewers underground
  • better sounds - COMPLETED
    • current pig sounds for goblins are sad. Adventuretest game has good soundfx for goblins 😄
  • model and animation improvements
    • Current model is ok, but stands a bit to straight
    • Model should be made for armor texture application
    • Animation could be more goblin like (sulking, shifty, sniffing about, sneaking, goblin dancings etc) and less player-like
    • rework texture maps
    • I've run out of space using the current texture map based on player. A refactor and larger texture map may be needed.
  • goblin armor - should be able to have some kind of rudimentary armor shown as they appear.
  • goblin tools - wield tools and weapons during construction/fighting and other tasks DONE!.
  • goblins acting as groups - goblins now defend each other and keep track of player interations DONE!
  • goblins should call for backup, run from player to goblin groups for ambush, build out lairs etc...
  • goblins creating traps - DONE thanks to Duane-r
  • nasty things triggered only by player (short drops, explosives, sprung spikes, etc) --Ideas that probably won't be added to mod:
  • goblins stealing things from players that are snuck up upon.
  • some goblins should be good at staying behind the player and attempt to steal something (there should be some way to clue players that this is about to happen)
