02:30 Genshin   Released a mod that is ready for testing if anyone is interested :) https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24127
19:08 Genshin   Need some suggestions related to this editor X) https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24125&p=366235
19:15 Lone_Wolf Hard to fully tell what it can do from just the screenshots
19:17 Genshin   I added gifs showing what it does
19:18 Genshin   and a video explaining how it runs X)
19:19 Genshin   The editor is currently incomplete, but it does create a dungeon crawl mechanism where players have to clear out checkpoints one at a time to activate certain boss rooms that were configured and placed
19:21 Lone_Wolf I'm more of a hands-on person I guess
19:22 Genshin   The missing bits are callouts that removes checkpoints and boss rooms, a callout where players get rewarded after clearing a dungeon level, random loot from dungeon chests whenever a dungeon group enters a dungeon level through a gate portal, and a time limit for players to clear the dungeon so others can enter and try the dungeon level.
19:29 Genshin   The neat thing about checkpoints and boss rooms is that they keep their NPCs deactivated until a player enters their zone. also prevents their NPCs from leaving their zone. if there are no players within their zone, it resets their NPCs health and status.
19:31 Genshin   If all of their NPCs have been slained, it moves up the ladder and activates the next checkpoint while the checkpoint that was just cleared deactivates itself.
19:41 Genshin   So pretty much how to make a dungeon with the editor is first register the dungeon, second register checkpoints and boss rooms for the dungeon, and third just deploy the dungeon gate where players can teleport to the dungeon level (you can register a spawn point for the dungeon level using the editor) then deploy checkpoints and boss rooms controllers in your manually built dungeon level.
19:44 Genshin   When someone enters the dungeon through it's own gate portal, it assigns the player in the dungeon group if the player hasn't been assigned to one yet.
19:46 Genshin   And of course if someone enters a dungeon that way, it will activate the dungeon level's progression mechanism.
19:48 Genshin   Lone_Wolf: If I said too much I apologize, hopefully I explained how it currently works X)
19:56 Lone_Wolf Nope, I'm able to follow it. From what I'm reading this'll probably be something a use a lot.
19:57 Lone_Wolf I guess I'd suggest adding support for https://content.minetest.net/packages/Termos/mobkit/
20:02 Genshin   Lone_Wolf: I will work on adding compatibility for the mobkit add-on :)
20:07 Lone_Wolf Ok, thanks!
22:52 Genshin   Lone_Wolf: Good news, the editor already supports mobkit X)
22:54 Genshin   As long as a mob has a defined method "type" included on the table, it will be select-able for the editor
22:54 Genshin   regardless to what mobs mod it is X)
22:55 Lone_Wolf So something like `self.type = val`?
22:55 Genshin   that's right
22:55 Lone_Wolf Ok, neat
22:55 Genshin   and for bosses, it must have self.type = "boss"
