- I have some free time over the next few weeks, and I wanted to have a look at the aetherIn particular, I wanted to see if I can improve the swet's ability to pick up playersRight now they teleport you onto their backs, and give you the full mount interface as if they're a pigMy idea was that instead of picking you up, they should lunge quickly towards you once they're a short distance awayAnd if they touch you, they apply an effect that causes you to move as if you're in cobwebs, and drag you along with them as they jumpSneaking should remove the effect, but not prevent them from dragging you - you still have to sneak and walk away from them to escapeI'd have to see how easy it would be for me to do - I've never tried something like that beforeAny thoughts?
- That's it, moa 👖 are cancelled
Replying toJack Papelalso gives me thoughts of a swet variant that can make blocks gravitate by some means
gravitite swet miniboss 👀- 😳1
final Race highlandsBlue = register("highlands_blue", AetherDimension.HIGHLANDS_PLAINS, MoaAttributes.GROUND_SPEED, SpawnStatWeighting.SPEED, 70, "textures/entity/moas/highlands/blue.png"); final Race mintGrass = register("mintgrass", AetherDimension.HIGHLANDS_PLAINS, MoaAttributes.GLIDING_SPEED, SpawnStatWeighting.SPEED, 30, "textures/entity/moas/highlands/mintgrass.png");It's complicatedReplying toJack PapelIf I'm reading this right, it means they're the same speed?
kind ofAlright, let me explain how moa races workThis is the record for Races, look at it, get a good taste, lick around the tip get excited the whole ordeal
Now, half of those are self explanatoryThe other half are a pain to explainMoa attributes are enums that describe the various stats a moa can have and carry some important info relating to themMost notably, they carry the min, max, and the separation between grades (what these are will become obvious when I get around to adding a certain item)All stats dealt with here are floatsIn this case what you are setting is the stat affinity of the race, that is, what stat gets naturally boosted for the race (aka gets multiplied by 1.05)The base value for that stat is obtained via SpawnStatWeighting, aka that enum with like 200 floats in its constructorThis thing contains two things: a constant quantity that gets added to their respective attribute (eg: baseGroundSpeed gets added to the moa's GROUND_SPEED attribute), this acts as a lower cap a naturally spawned moa of a certain race can haveThe second one is a random quantity, on top of the previously added constant the moa can get up to this additional amount of a certain stat (going back to the ground speed example, this would be groundSpeedVariance)This makes it so each race, rather than having one set amount of stats, has varying quantities within a set range.tldr: each moa is unique, their race defines boundaries as to how they can be unique.- Remember what I mentioend before about grades and an item?I plant to add a set of items, bloodstones, that show certain stats as a grade from F to SF being so bad you need to have actively bred to make such a misserable creature, and S being perfectionNatural moas generally range between D and C in their stats, with some rarely dipping into BThere will also be rare, mythical breeds who have one stat that instead ranges from B-AThis is what this is about
Got it? - Ambrosium, zanite, and gravititeAmbrosium ones will show their ground speed, gliding speed and decay, and jumping strengthZanite will show their race, affinity, drop multiplier (yes, you can breed moas specifically for their meat you monster), and max healthAnd gravitite will show their name, current health and max health as numbers, defense, and their general healthGravitite ones are extra neat as you can also use them on yourself and a few other mobs, this is the only way to check for things like venom and abstentine intoxication before visible effects manifest.
- There was a little snippet of code I never saw being usedA float that tracked hunger...Not going to say anything is definitive, but if you see me adding food bowls to the Aether then I suggest you go get a blueberry farm going before you tame some moas
Replying toCDAGamingI wonder for the moa texture, is it possible to have a greyscale texture, then color…
I was about to say yes but I am not entirely sure- Well, we'll still have presets with specific colors, but itll allow easy ability to create them from an addon perspective It mostly just minifies the requirementsThe main TLDR is to specify the colors in-code, to apply them to a greyscale texture instead of many of the same moa texture but differing colors
Replying toJack PapelYou're always welcome to 😄
I'm sure most of these are already known about, but let me begin :)Replying toJack PapelIn AetherBlocks.java, AbstractBlock.Settings is written all over the place (since every…
there probably is an easier way to do thingsReplying toSollyAny thoughts?
I don't know if you saw, but I got those swet changes in, so you can start working on your idea- Not sure if the first part is really an issue, but I've run into the chunk loading problem in testingWanted to see what you guys think. Should quicksoil be faster than boat paths & boosting elytra?
- oh o.o, then no I think it's fine as it is. My opinion is there is room to make it more dangerous, but IDK what that would be per-se.I'm a terrible tech player, there is a fine line of too hard for me that sits fairly low, I run MC on a potato with integrated graphics that's double digits years old, and I don't have an issue with quicksoil. (If this helps the topic)
