V1 -- dryness!
V2 -- dirtiness...
V3 -- damage
V1 V2 V3
0 0 0 -- clean, soft, smooth skin
1 0 0 -- clean, but somewhat dry skin
2 1 0 -- almost clean, drier skin...
3 1 0 -- yet clean, but the winter air keeps drying the skin
4 2 0 -- not as clean anymore. danger zone
5 3 0(?) -- it's accelerating. better take a shower or else...
5 4 1 -- first signs of itchiness (or some abstract "damage"), not so severe at first
6 6 2 -- it's deeeefinitely time to wash your face
and so on! i really like real-time computational systems
ok so!!! my skin model that i definitely haven't just made up on the go is as follows (for each player):
three variables for the skin would be cooler cuz two are just too simple
one variable reflects the skin's dryness: the ideal state is when its value is 0 when it's soft and saturated (but it gets a bit more complex, because applying cream alone is not enough) -- and the non-ideal state is... as big as decimals can get! dry skin contributes to flaky dead skin, which accumulates and makes the skin dirtier: dead skin has a higher surface area and generally isn't alive to do anything about the grime that collects on its surface. scrubs are effective, but only if the skin has been cleaned beforehand (see variable 2)
another variable reflects the dirtiness of the skin! obviously, it has to be dealth with separately using body/face soap (it's even already present in the mod!). dirtiness increases slowly, but dryness exacerbates its accumulation: the rate of change can be multiplied by the first variable
aaand another variable reflects damage to the skin! repairs slowly. first two variables impair its regeneration. the "main" variable that's most important to maintain, but only indirectly, through the correct application of washing, scrubbing and moisturizing agents
i will even demonstrate an example iterative evolution... thing (i forgot how is it called in computing)!
... my skin tends to... you know, get flaky and damage (or even shatter) easily when it's dry. dead skin accumulates faster. maybe it's just a special case. my skin is especially sensitive. it is well moisturized nowadays, however, and such events are rare!
Gave me goosebumps. I never knew pixely bubbles could make me smile. Aaannywayzz! I have used all items there were. Including the wooden mirror. I think it doesn't display anything because it's made of wood, not the stuff mirrors are normally made with. But it's functional and shows all I need to know!
After using the body and face soaps, I sort of instinctively applied face lotion. I didn't find body lotion, however... I have a dry skin condition irl
Upon having ground down several toothbrushes against my teeth, I considered them insufficient for the task at hand. I have an idea: dental floss!! I suggest you describe the condition of teeth with two variables: in between teeth (the hard to reach part) and of their visible flat faces. Toothbrushes generally clear the fronts and backs of teeth better than the cracks between them: cleaning efficiency asymptotically decreases as they become cleaner. The dental floss comes in handy in such cases. Strands can be crafted from cotton strings and possibly wax -- because they are usually covered in some protective layer that makes them smooter. It also smells minty! Food should also make teeth dirtier! Maybe. New weapon class: breath that could kill... (please don't scream at me)
I haven't figured out how to get pimples other than to wait for a while. I tried eating as much bread as I could, running around to spend saturation points. My suggestion is that consuming food that sates more hunger than the player needs to fill the bar causes unpleasant pimple-related effects to take place. I have tried to do it with the 'stamina' mod, at least with how it appears in the Techage modpack (it has a slightly modified version), but apparently it doesn't provide any API to know if you consumed more than you needed... It caps the level at the visual max
Oh and speaking of planned features and namely body scrub. You could use the skin dryness as the speed at which rough grimy dead skin accumulates on the surface!
... I have seen it. I am yet to reach the point in development when we may allow ourselves the luxury of crafting the die crafter. So far we have only made the dice template. One. Just one. One shot. Not the most useful item at the moment, but its green description tells otherwise -- green means it's 100% natural and therefore safe to eat. I will report to the post (the post in question being here) when we actually get to craft the dice (just so you know, this is done in survival for immersion). And thank you >;3! You know... for caring
Happy September 11th! My display went up in flames while I was playing OneShot (my favorite game that features the cutest protagonist in history of mankind -- Niko). It kinda just "blinked" in the corner and then started getting whiter with opaque intermittent bright lines. It scared me for a moment... I thought something was going to jump out, but no, it's just the curcuits that fried. A pity -- it served me for half a decade, ever since I was 14 years of age...
I kinda just restarted the display a few times until the thing was gone. It blinked some more, but without starting the whole unresponsive thing. I thought it was gone! But nope. Its bottom left corner began sparking, literally! I even lit a small straw plastic bag -- the one that manufacturers attach to cardboard juice boxes -- on fire and melted it... But my finger was fine when I touched the thing, it just felt a bit stingy.
In that same corner, dead pixels started forming, spreading like black death... I told my dad, expecting him to suspect that I mechanically damaged it (from rage). My expectations were met. Then he went out of his way to look for a display in the dumpster outside... He found an old one, somewhat thick, without an HDMI port. We struggled to power it up, but at last we did. It was in the same condition.
But since the beginning I had a plan brewing up! I could just connect to my TV. I did. It works... Though it stands on a rather slim wardrobe, and most of my forearms hang in the air, while the wrists bear the weight of the arms.
I don't know why am I telling you this. I am just feeling chatty.
forgive me... i have returned. i have been in MANY places, numerous cities. No, I was not traveling, the visited places just accumulated over time, even though overall I was staying in the very same place. I am doing somewhat OK. Currently, no dysphoria, no disorientation, no hot flashes. For now! But there's nothing I can't weather, because pain is temporary, and neurotransmitters are universal!
How have you been doing? I will take a look at your page to see how... probably have been having silly thoughts, as per usual
this wondrous piece of engineering sent me flying into an adventure even in a testing world in creative mode:
first i, like an young duckling (ducklingz are sort of already young, so a young duckling is double the default young), staggering and... uhh... shuffling, discovered how to properly use the filter, while standing in a silent taiga, with a stout steel dagger being all i had...
and it was nightfall, and with nightfall came darkness. first, certain of inhabitants of my world, i wrote: "monster", into the filter input field. the device beeped louder, signaling that, in close proximity, was a mese monster hiding... perhaps sealed in a cave: not something worrysome.
through the snow, i lurched forth, in spite of the siberian frost taking a hold of me. the thousand-year spruces towered over the cold ground; the stars, indifferent, the only source of light in this kingdom.
suddenly, the device picked up a signal: some fifty meters front of me awaited a tree monster. i came, i saw, i conquered it.
then, i discovered that writing nothing in the tablet's input field makes it see every mob that is there, instead of some specific one. i proceeded towards one dot on the scanner. it was already too late when i read that it was a spider: he had already dived right on my head...
!!! but there is a problm: apparentliez, the device's X-axis is sort of messed up, cuz the dots are... in the opposite direction from where they should be, relative to the origin point!
I actually thought one beautiful day, outside, that I should rather learn to 3D model in Blender for my minetest mods. Then, I was on Trisquel GNU+Linux-libre (this is important and relevant to the narrative). I quickly installed some 3.x.x version, launched it and... realized that it's kinda slow, almost uncomfortable to use. That's because my video drivers... they were kind of poopy and completely non-bouncy (0% kromer content). That's when I learned that newer versions of Nouveau support my card with 3D and 2D acceleration, and I decided to return to something relict, maybe even derelict... Or I am just dramaticizing... GNU Guix!
I installed GNU Guix rather fast (the metallic pocket of this computing machine already had this GNU once) and [i] did so for a reason: it's cool; and for another reason too: it is very cool and lispy (100% Scheme lisp!); and the actual initial reason was the presence of newest nouveau drivers on their recommended substitue servers. In terms of freedom, wasn't much of an upgrade, though, because my Trisquel already was: 0% drugs, 0% naked girls, 0% alcohol, 100% free software, 1997% [Hyperlink Blocked].
(This is turning in to an advertisement for GNU Guix...) And it actually had acceleration, my minetest ran very good, 10/10, [Would definitely run again]! I even defined my own minetest configuration using Scheme lisp with some extra spicy settings... I don't even remember what they were and why did I apply them.
And basically, since then I did nothing to start modeling. That's just me.
I also came to a very toothpasty conclusion that I rather shouldn't touch computer programming until I complete at least 2 more chapters of SICP...
And many, many more... To be continued...
Now Gravy Darling Sweetie I Will Wash My Precious Bodily Shapes (Shower)
Toodles
(I have just almost lost all these scriptires after clicking on the link to the elevator [$$!$] video I sent you.)
Hello. I hope you are fine. And safe from anyone who might control you by puppet strings.
I am trying to understand what am I. But I can't because I am a biological little pumpkin, tethered to my physical body? ... (long minutes of thinking) ... Eureka! I can describe it in simple logical words: I am everything except myself.
Fun freshwater turtle fact number 2: I have got a confession to make. My hair aren't short at all by now, but still not long enough. Because of this awkward condition, some hair on my left side of the frontal lobe tend to cover my left eye, and it is very annoying because I automatically shake my head to move that rascal out of the way, but it comes back! Can you believe that? And even more fun frog facts ! ,, : it is not long enough for me to stuff it behind my left ear.
Okay, speaking of copyright: I believe that the notion of the shy guy himself (themselves??) is not tangled by copyright... But the contents of the original SCP-096 article are covered by the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License, which is, amazingly, free (but for a price... (zero dollars)). But you are doing something separate from that work, so feel free to choose any free license. I will thrash you if you don't.
TO BE CONTINUED BELOW... STAY TUNED, FOLKS! NO, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION, NO, DON'T! NOOOOOOOOOO
So yeah, I believe that a banishment room would be a little more fun.
I imagine it to be like this:
The only items in the mod that can be accessed from the inventory are a door and possibly a key to it, like the 'Skeleton Key' from default, but only usable by the owner of the door which is to be locked.
The door requires some free space in order to be placed, for it will spawn a little chamber. Oh... I understand it now. It is the SCP-2701 (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2701). Okay, why not just make SCP-2701? I believe it would be very fun to lock up one's comrades (and possibly oneself) in the void for prolonged periods of time.
The isolation chamber would, first of all, change the physical properties of the player for it to become completely transparent and untouchable. Then it would overlay a jet black HUD with maximum precedence so that it would even cover the hotbar and nothing is seen. Then the player will have their physical properties set all to 0 so that they would not be able to be moved by any means.
But what to do about the sound? Teleport the poor imprisoned to the end of the world, into the void of space somewhere at the height of 30000?
sorry, i exhausted my cognitive potential and couldnltt reply to your mod idea. I think that it is just one of the possibilities that may utilize this flexible design. I don't understand the wand thing, though. Maces usually consist of a rod (with a handle) of some length, hand-wielded by the player, the ball itself of some raius and mass (and some other special properties) and a chain of some length that connects the mace ball with the rod. The property of the mace that you suggested -- exploding the player after hitting him/her/them some number of times -- can be defined as a special procedure 'on_hit', which is hypothetically called whenever an entity gets 'hit' by the ball. Getting hit is actually just touching the ball, but at a high velocity. Procedure 'on_hit' checks up on a table, contained either in the mace object properties or in some external data structure, that keeps track of the amount of times an entity was actually "hit" (and did not just touch the mace lightly). At some point, when the conditions are right (amount of strikes more than some limit), another subroutine is called, given the struck ObjectRef and the change in kinetic energy (we will get to that later). And it just goes boom like Killer Queen, BITE ZA DASTU!
Today I have also exhausted my mental potential by speaking pure Korean the whole day, and now it's down to the bone, so I might not be able to continue writing down my Balls Specification for you (and me) to see. But you got the basic idea of it, I believe. Idealize balls so that you work not with low-level objects that look nothing like pure balls but with actual ideal big balls.
(Contraty to that statement, I have just described you in detail the process of detonating a mace.)
I believe that it can readily be remade using my library and some extra bullet and gun-related abstractions, but I want to know how will my entity projectile variant perform because right now I have only got ray-based projectiles. They are cool, but the original rangedweapons used entities. Perhaps it should be mixed: rays for very fast small shots and entities for small BIG shots like rockets and grenades, and mayhaps something else I will add.
An ideal ball, also called a sphere, is characterized by the following four essential properties: position in coordinate space, radius (those describe its spatial configuration, thus being geometrical properties), and mass and velocity, which describe a ball's physical properties and how it interacts with other objects and shapes in space.
Radius and mass should be considered immutable properties.
Velocity and coordinates are, on the other hand, mutable.
To describe a ball to Minetest, one needs proper constructors, selectors and mutators.
Let's assume that we have already got an entity prototype that refers to a basic ball with default mass (1 kg) and radius (1 m).
Returns an object ref. Modifying other properties that do not relate to ideal balls (like texture, mesh, nametag, et cetera) requires modifying them after creating the entity using this constructor.
Mutators that set the corresponding properties of ball 'object'.
In my belief, only the velocity and perhaps the position-related procedures will be used widely when altering ball properties, unless we are doing ball vore + stuffing + inflation, in which case the ball's mass and radius can be modified.
I believe that using this ball description most ball manipulation-related actions can be performed and things achieved.
(Now I am a little tired and I want to drink some milk and perhaps take a nap. I will come back, sweetie~)
This mod is kinda weird. And incredibly cool. As if the author knew little to nothing about actual programming, but through the sheer power of determination... they never gave up. Like, just look at the code, especially the pre-update version! There isn't a single 'table' data structure, and yet it works, even fuming a little!
There is room for improvement. Lots of room. I am currently working on my projectiles library, and I am planning on improving this mod with some abstractions from that very package.
Even with all the shortcomings and mistakes of this firearms modpack (it's not really a small "mod" but rather a pack that adds a ton of new weapons), all my friends enjoy it. Yeah, it's up to proper interpretation to call them "friends", but it converted even the most hardcore minecraft fanatics to minetest enjoyers.
Thanks for delivering this to us from the heavens of lead showers.
In spite of it being a rather antique mod, combines very well with MTG. I tend to unconsciously add NSSM to most my playthroughs to increase the level of hardcoreness. However, I have only recently read its 'GUIDE' and realized that there is actually a goal -- to defeat the Mese Dragon. I have actually realized a lot of things lately, like that ants don't spawn in anything other than v6 mapgen for unknown reasons. Ropes, which are crafted from quite expensive cobweb strings, aren't much useful either, being equivalent to ladders.
That's why I have been hacking on it and improving it to my liking. I fixed ants, made ropes useful (they can extend downwards now!), repaired mob difficulty and enchanced settings greatly. I want to show you my changes (I am sure you will like them), but I can't find a way: I don't have write access to your codeberg git repository. Please, answer... Or else I will die here... Help...
This introduces a whole new class of weaponry: the balls. In my understanding, such balls would deal damage proportionally to difference in velocity between colliding entities, one being the victim and another being the ball. I will hack on it when I have free time. And if the velocity and mass are high enough, the kinetic energy can get wholly transfered to thermal, detonating the ball.
Thinking further about it, I have discovered that this can make for yet another class of weaponry: the mace, although that would be slightly harder to implement due to difficulties with the chain... I am just afraid of lag, that's why.
There is so much potential. I can even imagine riding some balls and using that as transportation...
As for hockey, I believe that a different kind of a 'ball' should be introduced: a plain black short cylindrical puck with rotation and proximity pushing disabled, being only moveable with either bare hands or a special club.
In a hypothetical scenario, I imagine an anarchy server being given only one such box...
Or even a creative server player acquiring it somehow, perhaps via admin help... and the fun begins.
Upon testing I have discovered that entities residing within the active zone get pulled in too, equivalently to the dropped node item entities. However, it appears that you had deliberately disabled this functionality for players. I believe that this should be controlled by a setting, like this:
Instead of
if obj:is_player() then
-- Skip if the object is a player
else
Write
if obj:is_player and not player_suction then
-- Skip if the object is a player
else
Where 'player_suction' would be a setting defined as a boolean in 'settingtypes.txt' and pulled in by the program into a local variable using:
local player_suction = minetest.settings:get_bool ("player_suction") or true
Solid 10/10. Does what's promised with an extra twist: items picked up by the gravitational field don't just stupidly approach the containment box linearly but SwIrL arOuNd iT like a quantum tornado!
It could be 9/10, but the sound of the box opening/closing scared me so much that I even inspected the source code (line 268) to see why are the sounds global. Perhaps they aren't and they are just so damn loud! Because of extra horror, this earns an ironclad 1000000/1000000!
Plus the model... A talented fellow you are, I opine.
I could've missed this mod on the contentDB page, but my SCP-tuned brain automatically reacted to 'containment'.
The sound design is indisputably good. Especially the mining laser -- its SFX is just so badass.
The warp boots might appear dull to some, but for me the sound they emit justifies their function: they simply... warp momentarily, an event of unremarkable magnitude. The blink launcher sounds slimy, as if it shoots some cold delicious jelly, just out of the refrigerator, and not unbearably hot plasma, tingling with electric needles even, if we could ever sense it with bare hands.
Overall, this set of futuristic miner equipment is good, too good even... Advice for those who yearn for challenge: if you're playing with 'techage', modify the craft recipes to fit the TA4/TA5 theme, otherwise it will feel out of order and style. Just imagine a mining laser in the bronze age, or a Roman general warping around the battlefield through the use of blink launcher.
However, I have encountered a single issue, and it concerns the mining laser. If its beam connects with an item entity lying on the ground (rotating and spinning as usual), the game crashes, signaling that a certain 'a' has been attempted to be indexed, resulting in systematic failure and that the root of the error is at line 105 or its neighborhood in 'mining_laser.lua'. The only thing being indexed on that line is 'pointed_thing.ref', and apparently the 'ref' value of 'pointed_thing' is NIL whenever pointed_thing refers to an item entity. This is truly strange, but I have repaired it by substituting 'pointed_thing.intersection_point' for the indexage.
Personally, I have never found TenPlus1 mods to possess conflicting graphical resources or even bloat. I opine (believe) the very term "bloat" here comes from the Arch/Gentoo "[GNU/]Linux" fanbase that really enjoys boiling, burning the abstraction layers down to the very bottom, until only a dark layer of cracky caramel remains -- and they! O, do they boast its apparent "lightweightedness", sacrificing... like, everything? cuz i don't really know, their computers appear ugly, coquettish and uncoy
i include farming redo in my every MTG survival world to have fun with my friends in, with little to no exceptions (unless i lose focus and forget about food whatsoever while selecting mods)
TenPlus1's mods are simply little, cute and functional just like TenPlus1 him/her/it/themself :3
but since you, guys/girls, mentioned it, i likely won't get it out of my head any soon; that's why i may as well satiate my artistic hunger and draw better textures where I believe they would be necessary~~~ xoxoxo (merry christmas!)
Oddly depends on 'default'. May be freely omitted as no dependant elements detected inside Modification.
using this thing, i did a crossover with 'corngirl' and made her spawn much more frequently when the player attempts to step on corn
for that, i took some of my old code from the 'bakov' mod (to calculate a random point on a circumference at a given radius around the player) and transformed it into a raycasting device
very cool i like it even more after making amod with it
the corngirl (with her 4 sisters which were born in an anomalous cloning splurge) very unexpectedly and belligirently walked out of the corns into an opening and began chasing me, trying to wear my player down. but i am wise and did not react to provocations and dashed out of their view and on a nearby acacia where my old body now resides permanently
the texture of the corngirl is just amazing (fantastic (cocacolastic)), i can't not betray my awe, it fits the sound and the corny environment perfectly
the corn satiated my hunger rather well; i didn't happen to get hit by the girl once, but i am sure that corn would be able to keep the player up, given that her damage isn't lethal (idk about damage yet, it's just a hypothesis)
(the 'unhelpful' reviews are from those whose girl got corned)
the mobs library wants the max_hp and min_hp to be different numbers, otherwise procedure 'math.random' throws an 'empty interval' error
if this error bothers u (and anyone else (pls report to [REDACTED]))
then go to init.lua from corngirl/ and modify line 5 or 6 (at least one) so that the interval isn't empty
EDIT: apparently it didn't fix the error for me (i have the latest version of mobs api)
weird, i will send over a Mobile Task Force to investigate the code
the mobs library wants the max_hp and min_hp to be different numbers, otherwise procedure 'math.random' throws an 'empty interval' error
if this error bothers u (and anyone else (pls report to [REDACTED]))
then go to init.lua from corngirl/ and modify line 5 or 6 (at least one) so that the interval isn't empty
tjanks bro i am proud of this mod and grateful for ur honest revie w
at the same time, i am not too proud, because this mod's program code is very unfunctional (not separated into smaller procedures) and not abstract at all: it's just an undebuggable steaming pile of code that runs on fumes (fumes seem to be a rather reliable medium for running minetest mods, apparently)
well, what can i do, that's usually what it is like to make one's first mod
of COURSE, feel free (libre) to use it, it's free (as in freedom) software (check the license!) (no money back guarantee!)
apolloX also contributed a lot, but since then i had felt very frightful of the code, so i was afraid to modify it further
i drew the flashlight myself from the photograph of a my flashlight (it's still utilized by me) and the on/off switch sound effect was recorded similarly!1
but i have been absent from minetest for way too long
i just can't get my hands on actually write that library for defining and launching projectiles: i want to construct it to make 'rangedweapons' somewhat more modular and bearable to work with (my friends happen to like that mod, but it's somewhat bulky and inconvenient from my perspective, yet fun)
i have been going through certain ██████-related hardships, but i iwll strike them down by changing my ███
i will do it, I will make it, I will ██████ a ████.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
And you -- you don't give up your dreams either (it's a recommendation, not an order).
who explains it fairly well (even i understood the thingnn!g1!)
but if you have a hard time understandening the thing through his thicc aksent (accent), i might try to break it down for you using my reality-restructuring and narrative manipulation superpowers
basiclly (in caveman langauge):
YOU CREATE BONE, YOU CREATE MORE BONE
YOU SELECT MESH AND BONE
AND YOU GROUP MESH AND BONE WITH "PARENT" (somewhere in "object" below the top bar, slightly left)
i hve always dreamed of successfully containing SCP-682, and today is my lucky day; more to that, i can not only successfully contain the happy gecko and even feed it with as happy little worms and have fun with it but even kill it; that is, with this mod i can now neutralize the unbeatable lizard
but in the end, it will haunt me in my worst nightmares, it will make me go through hell i made it experience
But for reals, don't f with the gecko. >:(
EDIT (UPDATEZ):
Hey, Bro, I have heard that you are in search of a method to export animated b3d cartoonies? Jabroni, today is your lucky day:
long storiez shirt: apparently one must add a skeleton and animate it, instead of animating the mesh itself; try boning around with bones in blender!
and hav fun (i will be very unhappy if u don't fun >:(
i hope (or maybe not) that you like this idea. feel free to use constructive criticism!!

I haven't figured out how to get pimples other than to wait for a while. I tried eating as much bread as I could, running around to spend saturation points. My suggestion is that consuming food that sates more hunger than the player needs to fill the bar causes unpleasant pimple-related effects to take place. I have tried to do it with the 'stamina' mod, at least with how it appears in the Techage modpack (it has a slightly modified version), but apparently it doesn't provide any API to know if you consumed more than you needed... It caps the level at the visual max
Oh and speaking of planned features and namely body scrub. You could use the skin dryness as the speed at which rough grimy dead skin accumulates on the surface!

Happy September 11th! My display went up in flames while I was playing OneShot (my favorite game that features the cutest protagonist in history of mankind -- Niko). It kinda just "blinked" in the corner and then started getting whiter with opaque intermittent bright lines. It scared me for a moment... I thought something was going to jump out, but no, it's just the curcuits that fried. A pity -- it served me for half a decade, ever since I was 14 years of age...
I kinda just restarted the display a few times until the thing was gone. It blinked some more, but without starting the whole unresponsive thing. I thought it was gone! But nope. Its bottom left corner began sparking, literally! I even lit a small straw plastic bag -- the one that manufacturers attach to cardboard juice boxes -- on fire and melted it... But my finger was fine when I touched the thing, it just felt a bit stingy.
In that same corner, dead pixels started forming, spreading like black death... I told my dad, expecting him to suspect that I mechanically damaged it (from rage). My expectations were met.

No, I was not traveling, the visited places just accumulated over time, even though overall I was staying in the very same place. I am doing somewhat OK. Currently, no dysphoria, no disorientation, no hot flashes. For now! But there's nothing I can't weather, because pain is temporary, and neurotransmitters are universal!
How have you been doing? I will take a look at your page to see how... probably have been having silly thoughts, as per usual
and the cover art is SICK, too!!!!!! i love ittt
this wondrous piece of engineering sent me flying into an adventure even in a testing world in creative mode:
first i, like an young duckling (ducklingz are sort of already young, so a young duckling is double the default young), staggering and... uhh... shuffling, discovered how to properly use the filter, while standing in a silent taiga, with a stout steel dagger being all i had...
and it was nightfall, and with nightfall came darkness. first, certain of inhabitants of my world, i wrote: "monster", into the filter input field. the device beeped louder, signaling that, in close proximity, was a mese monster hiding... perhaps sealed in a cave: not something worrysome.
through the snow, i lurched forth, in spite of the siberian frost taking a hold of me. the thousand-year spruces towered over the cold ground; the stars, indifferent, the only source of light in this kingdom.
suddenly, the device picked up a signal: some fifty meters front of me awaited a tree monster. i came, i saw, i conquered it.
then, i discovered that writing nothing in the tablet's input field makes it see every mob that is there, instead of some specific one. i proceeded towards one dot on the scanner. it was already too late when i read that it was a spider: he had already dived right on my head...
!!! but there is a problm: apparentliez, the device's X-axis is sort of messed up, cuz the dots are... in the opposite direction from where they should be, relative to the origin point!
overall: i liek it, and liek it very sincerely
I actually thought one beautiful day, outside, that I should rather learn to 3D model in Blender for my minetest mods. Then, I was on Trisquel GNU+Linux-libre (this is important and relevant to the narrative). I quickly installed some 3.x.x version, launched it and... realized that it's kinda slow, almost uncomfortable to use. That's because my video drivers... they were kind of poopy and completely non-bouncy (0% kromer content). That's when I learned that newer versions of Nouveau support my card with 3D and 2D acceleration, and I decided to return to something relict, maybe even derelict... Or I am just dramaticizing... GNU Guix!
I installed GNU Guix rather fast (the metallic pocket of this computing machine already had this GNU once) and [i] did so for a reason: it's cool; and for another reason too: it is very cool and lispy (100% Scheme lisp!); and the actual initial reason was the presence of newest nouveau drivers on their recommended substitue servers. In terms of freedom, wasn't much of an upgrade, though, because my Trisquel already was: 0% drugs, 0% naked girls, 0% alcohol, 100% free software, 1997% [Hyperlink Blocked].
(This is turning in to an advertisement for GNU Guix...) And it actually had acceleration, my minetest ran very good, 10/10, [Would definitely run again]! I even defined my own minetest configuration using Scheme lisp with some extra spicy settings... I don't even remember what they were and why did I apply them.
And basically, since then I did nothing to start modeling. That's just me.
I also came to a very toothpasty conclusion that I rather shouldn't touch computer programming until I complete at least 2 more chapters of SICP...
And many, many more... To be continued...
Now Gravy Darling Sweetie I Will Wash My Precious Bodily Shapes (Shower) Toodles
(I have just almost lost all these scriptires after clicking on the link to the elevator [$$!$] video I sent you.)
Hello. I hope you are fine. And safe from anyone who might control you by puppet strings.
I am trying to understand what am I. But I can't because I am a biological little pumpkin, tethered to my physical body? ... (long minutes of thinking) ... Eureka! I can describe it in simple logical words: I am everything except myself.
Fun freshwater turtle fact number 2: I have got a confession to make. My hair aren't short at all by now, but still not long enough. Because of this awkward condition, some hair on my left side of the frontal lobe tend to cover my left eye, and it is very annoying because I automatically shake my head to move that rascal out of the way, but it comes back! Can you believe that? And even more fun frog facts ! ,, : it is not long enough for me to stuff it behind my left ear.

But the contents of the original SCP-096 article are covered by the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License, which is, amazingly, free (but for a price... (zero dollars)).

TO BE CONTINUED BELOW... STAY TUNED, FOLKS! NO, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION, NO, DON'T! NOOOOOOOOOO
Hello. Sorry for not replying. I was in deep hibernation, fighting my own demons.
Speaking of the elevator, I believe that there already is one such that you have described. I even saw a video of it! I just have to find it in my Emacs IRC logs... https://cheapiesystems.com/media/2024-04-20 01-14-26.webm
So yeah, I believe that a banishment room would be a little more fun.
I imagine it to be like this:
The only items in the mod that can be accessed from the inventory are a door and possibly a key to it, like the 'Skeleton Key' from default, but only usable by the owner of the door which is to be locked.
The door requires some free space in order to be placed, for it will spawn a little chamber. Oh... I understand it now. It is the SCP-2701 (https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2701). Okay, why not just make SCP-2701? I believe it would be very fun to lock up one's comrades (and possibly oneself) in the void for prolonged periods of time.
The isolation chamber would, first of all, change the physical properties of the player for it to become completely transparent and untouchable. Then it would overlay a jet black HUD with maximum precedence so that it would even cover the hotbar and nothing is seen. Then the player will have their physical properties set all to 0 so that they would not be able to be moved by any means.
But what to do about the sound? Teleport the poor imprisoned to the end of the world, into the void of space somewhere at the height of 30000?
sorry, i exhausted my cognitive potential and couldnltt reply to your mod idea. I think that it is just one of the possibilities that may utilize this flexible design. I don't understand the wand thing, though. Maces usually consist of a rod (with a handle) of some length, hand-wielded by the player, the ball itself of some raius and mass (and some other special properties) and a chain of some length that connects the mace ball with the rod. The property of the mace that you suggested -- exploding the player after hitting him/her/them some number of times -- can be defined as a special procedure 'on_hit', which is hypothetically called whenever an entity gets 'hit' by the ball. Getting hit is actually just touching the ball, but at a high velocity. Procedure 'on_hit' checks up on a table, contained either in the mace object properties or in some external data structure, that keeps track of the amount of times an entity was actually "hit" (and did not just touch the mace lightly). At some point, when the conditions are right (amount of strikes more than some limit), another subroutine is called, given the struck ObjectRef and the change in kinetic energy (we will get to that later). And it just goes boom like Killer Queen, BITE ZA DASTU!
Today I have also exhausted my mental potential by speaking pure Korean the whole day, and now it's down to the bone, so I might not be able to continue writing down my Balls Specification for you (and me) to see. But you got the basic idea of it, I believe. Idealize balls so that you work not with low-level objects that look nothing like pure balls but with actual ideal big balls.
(Contraty to that statement, I have just described you in detail the process of detonating a mace.)
I believe that it can readily be remade using my library and some extra bullet and gun-related abstractions, but I want to know how will my entity projectile variant perform because right now I have only got ray-based projectiles. They are cool, but the original rangedweapons used entities. Perhaps it should be mixed: rays for very fast small shots and entities for small BIG shots like rockets and grenades, and mayhaps something else I will add.
An ideal ball, also called a sphere, is characterized by the following four essential properties: position in coordinate space, radius (those describe its spatial configuration, thus being geometrical properties), and mass and velocity, which describe a ball's physical properties and how it interacts with other objects and shapes in space.
Radius and mass should be considered immutable properties. Velocity and coordinates are, on the other hand, mutable.
To describe a ball to Minetest, one needs proper constructors, selectors and mutators.
Let's assume that we have already got an entity prototype that refers to a basic ball with default mass (1 kg) and radius (1 m).
=-= Procedure: make_ball (mass, radius, pos, velocity)
Returns an object ref. Modifying other properties that do not relate to ideal balls (like texture, mesh, nametag, et cetera) requires modifying them after creating the entity using this constructor.
=-= Procedure: ball_velocity (object) =-= Procedure: ball_radius (object) =-= Procedure: ball_mass (object) =-= Procedure: ball_pos (object)
Ball property selectors. Do what they stand for.
=-= Procedure: set_ball_velocity (object, vector) =-= Procedure: set_ball_radius (object, radius) =-= Procedure: set_ball_mass (object, mass) =-= Procedure: set_ball_pos (object, vector)
Mutators that set the corresponding properties of ball 'object'.
In my belief, only the velocity and perhaps the position-related procedures will be used widely when altering ball properties, unless we are doing ball vore + stuffing + inflation, in which case the ball's mass and radius can be modified.
I believe that using this ball description most ball manipulation-related actions can be performed and things achieved.
(Now I am a little tired and I want to drink some milk and perhaps take a nap. I will come back, sweetie~)
But still.
This mod is kinda weird. And incredibly cool. As if the author knew little to nothing about actual programming, but through the sheer power of determination... they never gave up. Like, just look at the code, especially the pre-update version! There isn't a single 'table' data structure, and yet it works, even fuming a little!
There is room for improvement. Lots of room. I am currently working on my projectiles library, and I am planning on improving this mod with some abstractions from that very package.
Even with all the shortcomings and mistakes of this firearms modpack (it's not really a small "mod" but rather a pack that adds a ton of new weapons), all my friends enjoy it. Yeah, it's up to proper interpretation to call them "friends", but it converted even the most hardcore minecraft fanatics to minetest enjoyers.
Thanks for delivering this to us from the heavens of lead showers.
Okay, I will try that. Tomorrow, because it's 12:00 AM. Thank you.
In spite of it being a rather antique mod, combines very well with MTG. I tend to unconsciously add NSSM to most my playthroughs to increase the level of hardcoreness. However, I have only recently read its 'GUIDE' and realized that there is actually a goal -- to defeat the Mese Dragon. I have actually realized a lot of things lately, like that ants don't spawn in anything other than v6 mapgen for unknown reasons. Ropes, which are crafted from quite expensive cobweb strings, aren't much useful either, being equivalent to ladders.
That's why I have been hacking on it and improving it to my liking. I fixed ants, made ropes useful (they can extend downwards now!), repaired mob difficulty and enchanced settings greatly. I want to show you my changes (I am sure you will like them), but I can't find a way: I don't have write access to your codeberg git repository. Please, answer... Or else I will die here... Help...
This introduces a whole new class of weaponry: the balls. In my understanding, such balls would deal damage proportionally to difference in velocity between colliding entities, one being the victim and another being the ball. I will hack on it when I have free time. And if the velocity and mass are high enough, the kinetic energy can get wholly transfered to thermal, detonating the ball.
Thinking further about it, I have discovered that this can make for yet another class of weaponry: the mace, although that would be slightly harder to implement due to difficulties with the chain... I am just afraid of lag, that's why.
There is so much potential. I can even imagine riding some balls and using that as transportation...
As for hockey, I believe that a different kind of a 'ball' should be introduced: a plain black short cylindrical puck with rotation and proximity pushing disabled, being only moveable with either bare hands or a special club.
That's actually nice. I will use that technique from now on.
In a hypothetical scenario, I imagine an anarchy server being given only one such box... Or even a creative server player acquiring it somehow, perhaps via admin help... and the fun begins.
Upon testing I have discovered that entities residing within the active zone get pulled in too, equivalently to the dropped node item entities. However, it appears that you had deliberately disabled this functionality for players. I believe that this should be controlled by a setting, like this:
Instead of
Write
Where 'player_suction' would be a setting defined as a boolean in 'settingtypes.txt' and pulled in by the program into a local variable using:
local player_suction = minetest.settings:get_bool ("player_suction") or trueNow I must depart briefly to commence dinner.
Solid 10/10. Does what's promised with an extra twist: items picked up by the gravitational field don't just stupidly approach the containment box linearly but SwIrL arOuNd iT like a quantum tornado!
It could be 9/10, but the sound of the box opening/closing scared me so much that I even inspected the source code (line 268) to see why are the sounds global. Perhaps they aren't and they are just so damn loud! Because of extra horror, this earns an ironclad 1000000/1000000!
Plus the model... A talented fellow you are, I opine.
I could've missed this mod on the contentDB page, but my SCP-tuned brain automatically reacted to 'containment'.
The sound design is indisputably good. Especially the mining laser -- its SFX is just so badass. The warp boots might appear dull to some, but for me the sound they emit justifies their function: they simply... warp momentarily, an event of unremarkable magnitude. The blink launcher sounds slimy, as if it shoots some cold delicious jelly, just out of the refrigerator, and not unbearably hot plasma, tingling with electric needles even, if we could ever sense it with bare hands.
Overall, this set of futuristic miner equipment is good, too good even... Advice for those who yearn for challenge: if you're playing with 'techage', modify the craft recipes to fit the TA4/TA5 theme, otherwise it will feel out of order and style. Just imagine a mining laser in the bronze age, or a Roman general warping around the battlefield through the use of blink launcher.
However, I have encountered a single issue, and it concerns the mining laser. If its beam connects with an item entity lying on the ground (rotating and spinning as usual), the game crashes, signaling that a certain 'a' has been attempted to be indexed, resulting in systematic failure and that the root of the error is at line 105 or its neighborhood in 'mining_laser.lua'. The only thing being indexed on that line is 'pointed_thing.ref', and apparently the 'ref' value of 'pointed_thing' is NIL whenever pointed_thing refers to an item entity. This is truly strange, but I have repaired it by substituting 'pointed_thing.intersection_point' for the indexage.

Battlefield, long quiet.
Personally, I have never found TenPlus1 mods to possess conflicting graphical resources or even bloat. I opine (believe) the very term "bloat" here comes from the Arch/Gentoo "[GNU/]Linux" fanbase that really enjoys boiling, burning the abstraction layers down to the very bottom, until only a dark layer of cracky caramel remains -- and they! O, do they boast its apparent "lightweightedness", sacrificing... like, everything? cuz i don't really know, their computers appear ugly, coquettish and uncoy
i include farming redo in my every MTG survival world to have fun with my friends in, with little to no exceptions (unless i lose focus and forget about food whatsoever while selecting mods)
TenPlus1's mods are simply little, cute and functional just like TenPlus1 him/her/it/themself :3
but since you, guys/girls, mentioned it, i likely won't get it out of my head any soon; that's why i may as well satiate my artistic hunger and draw better textures where I believe they would be necessary~~~ xoxoxo (merry christmas!)
does what it is intented for, no extraneous stuff
Oddly depends on 'default'. May be freely omitted as no dependant elements detected inside Modification.
using this thing, i did a crossover with 'corngirl' and made her spawn much more frequently when the player attempts to step on corn
for that, i took some of my old code from the 'bakov' mod (to calculate a random point on a circumference at a given radius around the player) and transformed it into a raycasting device
very cool i like it even more after making amod with it
the bug appears to reside inside mobs API itself
i temporarily repaired the mob definition by setting 'hp_min' to 0; i am not sure yet what's the limit, but it apparently angers 'mobs'
(i fixed the bug by reducing 'min_hp' to 0, might be something between 0 and 20000)
the corngirl (with her 4 sisters which were born in an anomalous cloning splurge) very unexpectedly and belligirently walked out of the corns into an opening and began chasing me, trying to wear my player down. but i am wise and did not react to provocations and dashed out of their view and on a nearby acacia where my old body now resides permanently
the texture of the corngirl is just amazing (fantastic (cocacolastic)), i can't not betray my awe, it fits the sound and the corny environment perfectly
the corn satiated my hunger rather well; i didn't happen to get hit by the girl once, but i am sure that corn would be able to keep the player up, given that her damage isn't lethal (idk about damage yet, it's just a hypothesis)
(the 'unhelpful' reviews are from those whose girl got corned)
the mobs library wants the max_hp and min_hp to be different numbers, otherwise procedure 'math.random' throws an 'empty interval' error
if this error bothers u (and anyone else (pls report to [REDACTED])) then go to init.lua from corngirl/ and modify line 5 or 6 (at least one) so that the interval isn't empty
EDIT: apparently it didn't fix the error for me (i have the latest version of mobs api) weird, i will send over a Mobile Task Force to investigate the code
the mobs library wants the max_hp and min_hp to be different numbers, otherwise procedure 'math.random' throws an 'empty interval' error
if this error bothers u (and anyone else (pls report to [REDACTED])) then go to init.lua from corngirl/ and modify line 5 or 6 (at least one) so that the interval isn't empty
may you have happy hacking
tjanks bro i am proud of this mod and grateful for ur honest revie w
at the same time, i am not too proud, because this mod's program code is very unfunctional (not separated into smaller procedures) and not abstract at all: it's just an undebuggable steaming pile of code that runs on fumes (fumes seem to be a rather reliable medium for running minetest mods, apparently) well, what can i do, that's usually what it is like to make one's first mod
of COURSE, feel free (libre) to use it, it's free (as in freedom) software (check the license!) (no money back guarantee!)
apolloX also contributed a lot, but since then i had felt very frightful of the code, so i was afraid to modify it further
i drew the flashlight myself from the photograph of a my flashlight (it's still utilized by me) and the on/off switch sound effect was recorded similarly!1
but i have been absent from minetest for way too long
i just can't get my hands on actually write that library for defining and launching projectiles: i want to construct it to make 'rangedweapons' somewhat more modular and bearable to work with (my friends happen to like that mod, but it's somewhat bulky and inconvenient from my perspective, yet fun)
i have been going through certain ██████-related hardships, but i iwll strike them down by changing my ███
i will do it, I will make it, I will ██████ a ████. [DATA EXPUNGED] And you -- you don't give up your dreams either (it's a recommendation, not an order).
Per aspera ad astra.idk, i am suepr new too, i have worked in blender for minetest purposes only once (and with a massive failure); but the terraria zoologist
but i believe that i would be a bad explanator, that's why i foundened this bri'ish guy:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ZmiZ6VkSJBE
who explains it fairly well (even i understood the thingnn!g1!)
but if you have a hard time understandening the thing through his thicc aksent (accent), i might try to break it down for you using my reality-restructuring and narrative manipulation superpowers
basiclly (in caveman langauge):
YOU CREATE BONE, YOU CREATE MORE BONE YOU SELECT MESH AND BONE AND YOU GROUP MESH AND BONE WITH "PARENT" (somewhere in "object" below the top bar, slightly left)
and then you justCONNECTION TERMINATED.
i hve always dreamed of successfully containing SCP-682, and today is my lucky day; more to that, i can not only successfully contain the happy gecko and even feed it with as happy little worms and have fun with it but even kill it; that is, with this mod i can now neutralize the unbeatable lizard
but in the end, it will haunt me in my worst nightmares, it will make me go through hell i made it experience
But for reals, don't f with the gecko. >:(
EDIT (UPDATEZ): Hey, Bro, I have heard that you are in search of a method to export animated b3d cartoonies? Jabroni, today is your lucky day:

unfortunately, the poor hampter wasn't part of that fetish community...
Rest in peace, warrior.
Even better than the Black Sun or the Kolovrat; should rather be ported to every texture pack that lacks a sun.
