Adds pathfinding library Jumper by Ronald Yonaba. This includes an implementation of the A* pathfinding algorithm which makes NPC now always get to their goal node.
Pathfinding: Adds functions that allows to map the Minetest 3D map to a 2D array to use by the pathfinding algorithm. Actions: Use new code for find_path function. Improves door opening while walking on paths, and also now close them. Cottages fence gates and doors are also now supported in addition to the default doors and gates. Changes to the Readme and the License.

============
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced NPC framework for Minetest, based on mobs_redo.
|
||||
The goal of this mod is to be able to have live villages in Minetest. These NPCs are highly inspired by the typical NPCs of Harvest Moon games. The general idea is that on almost all buildings of a village there are NPCs that are kind of intelligent: they have daily tasks they perform, can speak to players, can trade with the player, can use their own items (chests for example), know where to go around their village, can be lumbers, miners or any other Minetest-suitable profession and can ultimately engage into relationships with the player. And while basically only players are mentioned here, the ultimate goal is that they can do all of this also among themselves, so that villages are completely alive and evolving by themselves, without necessary player intervention.
