Pokecube Mobs will probably be updating shortly, here is sample of what has been recently added

If anyone is willing to help with making the remaining shiny textures, a list of missing ones can be found here:

https://github.com/Thutmose/Pokecube-Models/blob/master/Needed Textures.md

If a pokemon has multiple forms, and it is on that list, assume all of the forms are missing shiny textures.

So when it lists "deoxys" all of them are missing, same for "unown" and any pokemon with Mega evolutions.

Messing around with my rendering code for models exported from blender (having been imported to blender from tabula)

1. This mod doesn't have all the pokémons.
2. The pokémon models could be better.
3. The sounds can be better

1. You can fix that yourself with a resource pack, it will accept any model for any pokémon up to volcanion, not just ones currently in game.
2. You can fix that yourself If you place "better" models* in a resource pack (I say "better" because the mobs are meant to look like minecraft models)
3. You can fix that yourself with a resource pack, just replace the sound files with whatever you want in a resource pack.

*You can also animate them via the resource pack as well, either by animating in tabula, or using the xml format pokecube uses, you can find examples of that in the existing models.

The first thing I really like about this mod, is that the models are minecraftian. It is actually the main thing that I despise in Pixelmon, because its Pokémobs don't fit in the Minecraft world.

Same here, but kallehed doesn't seem to.

I also rather like the minecrafty models, which is why the only not-minecrafty model that has been added was porygon-Z, he is supposed to be a glitch, so I made his model rounded.

Ok, so I plan on setting up a custom map, but I have a problem. I can get specific Pokemobs in specific spots, but I haven't been able to figure out random encounters. Obviously with the way Pokecube works they'd be random spawns near tall grass rather than random spontaneous encounters like in the official games, but I don't have any idea how to define area-specific spawns. Constant command block checks tank my performance and I've got a meh computer devoted to Minecraft, so if most people are using craptops, I can suppose they will have worse frames than I do, so that's out of the picture. So aside of forcing specific custom biomes that have coordinate based spawns, do you have any suggestions?

for that you want to use the sub-biome setter.

First, you will want to define a number of sub-biomes, based on the area you want things to spawn in. here is the default example definition (in pokecube_adventures.cfg:

    # spawn level ranges for pokemon in certain subbiomes [default: [mound:5-10]]
    S:biomeLevels <
        mound:5-10
     >

If say you wanted to add a "route10" sub-biome, with pokemobs that spawn at lvl 15-30, you would do the following:

    # spawn level ranges for pokemon in certain subbiomes [default: [mound:5-10]]
    S:biomeLevels <
        mound:5-10
        route10:15-30
     >

Then, in the spawns.csv (in config/pokecube/compat/) you assign spawns for the "route10" biome, there is already an example there for adding rattatas in groups of 5-10 to the "mound" biome.

Then, to assign the location in game, get a sub-biome setter, right click, and type "route10" into the box that shows up, and press enter.

Once it is set, shift right click the first corner of the volume to set, then shift right click the second corner of the volume. it will give a message when it selects first corner, then will give another when it assigns the volume.

Currently no way to reset to default once an area is set, but you can overwrite areas with whatever sub-biome you want, I will see about adding a way to reset the area.

The sub-biomes are just overlayed on top of vanilla ones, so they shouldn't affect anything else that is biome based, and are only noticable in the f3 menu, so shouldn't detract from immersion either, if you only want mobs spawning in them, then you should use spawns.csv to clear all other spawns, here is a copy of the original spawnData.csv, which you can use as a template for clearing (just clear all the spawns, and add the replace column full of "true"

https://github.com/Thutmose/Pokecube/blob/2b5075fb4a2b254c88a173911123ad984b270fe5/Pokecube Core/src/main/resources/assets/pokecube/database/spawndata.csv

Edit: You can check if the pokemobs are properly assigned to spawn somewhere by right clicking the block with a pokedex, it will list the spawns for that block, note that if you right click the block right below the sub-biome, it lists spawns for that area, but the f3 display has for the air above, so there is sometimes an inconsistancy in the messages, in this case, you should also set the area below to the needed subbiome.

So I just found out this exists. I've been playing Pixelmon for quite some time. How do the two compare?

As a note, I have zero complaints regarding the three things mentioned above. I don't expect all Pokemon to be in this, I haven't heard it yet but I'll probably be fine with the sounds, and I really like the Minecrafty style I've seen in the screenshots.

Pixelmon is like the GB/(3)DS games, as in it has turn-based combat, with fixed a fixed battle system, which behaves exactly as expected, if a tactic works in the games, it should work in Pixelmon, Pixelmon results in an experience which is very much like the original games.

Pokecube is like the anime, where the pokemobs move around in combat, attack in real time, and battles go much faster, and are not bound to the same meta as the games (ie non-contact attacks are much more useful than contact ones, flying things have advantages, etc), and the battlefield terrain matters, as it can block/obstruct attacks/pokemob movement. Pokecube results in an experience like vanilla minecraft, but with mobs which have a wider range of available combat options. If you want to have an original game like experience, Pokecube is probably not the best option.


The part where this generalization is different is in the sounds, Pixelmon sounds are more like the anime, Pokecube sounds are more like the games, I prefer animals to make animal-like (albeit low bitrate) sounds than human like ones.


Pixelmon then seems to go for very fancy models, whereas Pokecube tries to keep the models generally as minecrafty as possible, this results in Pokecube requiring far, far less RAM, despite having more mobs.

I will look into what is going on with the tame pokemob attack AI, I have a feeling they might be getting distracted and trying to do something else while in battle.

Try using this version, see if they work better:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2fb8118wka7x3j4/Pokecube Core-2.2.11.jar?dl=0

I did some tweaking to the AI to make several of the routines outright fail to run if the pokemob has an attack target.

Edit: There are still a few things I am working on for 2.2.11, which is why I didn't put it on curseforge yet.

That would be very helpful, I don't really have any professional training as a programmer, and only ever too one class on C at university (mainly for lab equipment interfacing), so I am probably doing some things which have much better ways to do them, or doing things in an outright bad way.

all of the pokecube source code can be found here:

https://github.com/Thutmose/Pokecube

before 2.2.11 is put on curseforge, I will probably be trying to get some more item textures, and get primal reversion working.

Any suggestions you might have on changes/improvements to the code would be appriciated, I am always glad to learn about things I am doing badly/wrongly.

Ya, that's a meteor, where it affected generally round and pink pokemobs will spawn, as well as lunatone and solrock. It could be disabled in config, and should only occur once per 3k blocks or so.
