Hi all,

Working on OpenCCSensors has given me the confidence to try a new mod from scratch, so I'm working on a mod called DNACraft.

It's complete work in progress at the moment, won't be ready for release for a long time..

The basic concepts:

At a high cost, you can sequence a mobs DNA, and it writes it to a new item called DNA. You can modify the DNA by merging two DNAs together, or, you can put any organic material (seeds, meat, whatever) into a DNA Centrifuge with a few bottles and it'll extract DNA Fragments. You can merge the DNA fragments with DNA in a DNA splicer, and it'll copy random relevant traits across.

Once you have some DNA, you can then merge the DNA with an Egg, Seeds or Sapling to make a new mob/tree/crop. The thing you create displays particular traits from the DNA.

To sum it up:

You can mix DNA of different mobs or organic material and make your own new creatures and trees and whatnot. Of course it'll be a huge balancing act, but I believe I've got the systems in place to keep it balanced. Your mutant mobs will be able to breed with each other..etc..etc..

A few videos to show off some of what I've been working on:

This first one is just me playing around with concepts:

Next one, I've now got the system in place where I can put any mixture of body/head/legs/wings together:

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRha8hKSwC4[/media]

(Yeah, he has no nose, but easy enough for me to add in)

I'll post updates to the mod as I go. It's open source, so if you want to get involved then please do..

http://www.github.co...keemoo/DNACraft

Still a lot of work to go, such as mobs inheriting traits that decide what their item drops are, what AI behaviours they use..etc..

Watch this space.

Looks really complex, but funny.
If you need some idea or beta tester i'm up ^^

It's like fossil archeology and possibility are infinite!!

For exemple (some idea i has) :
* manual manipulation and the possibility to work with cc for use some mechanized machine for dna traitment (DNA sequencer, DNA extractor, DNA analyser, …)
* make some booster for help dna manipulation result to keep stability and duration of subject (like drugs '_' )
* a dna manipulation bar of experience, if you make a lot of research you have much chance to have succes with other degree of difficulty

there is a lot of possibility!

though I think there should be some sort of skill, or quality to the combination of DNA.

DNA is very fragile and the slightest change typically leads to disease.
Would be a nice aspect, that animals would die, or fall apart, or just .. end up.. idk, messed up, *Imagination Offline* ! URGH

if you're looking for testers, I'll help.

I have tested for several games before, and I think that this mod will be awesome (maybe you should add evolutionary pressures, i.e. pigs don't live in snow etc. in order to have more traits)

by the way, can your ostrich teleport?

How are genes and traits determined? Are there going to be pheno and geno types? Will there b recessive and dominate traits?

That looks AMAZING! How will special traits be determined; such as the sheep's wool and the ocelots anti creeper ability. How will their path finding work…will somethings attack you? How is HP determined?
I hope this doesn't sound negative i just am so curious about how this

Also would it be possible for you too mess up the mutating and create a super monster that is VERY powerful?

will it really be that hard to create just a few mutants?
or could you then collect DNA from those few mutants and use it in the next generation?

it seems like a lot more work than I thought it should be.

Mutants will mate with each other if their not too genetically different from each other, so you'll be able to breed them just as you would with cows, sheep.etc.

They'll get occasional mutations in their genomes, but it'll be quite rare.

How easy/hard it is to create mutants should be ignored for now, because I haven't spent any time at all (or put much thought into) the balancing.

In general though I do think i'll have it pretty hard to mutate, or have a setting that increases/decreases the difficulty to take into account how easy it could be to automate the system using other mods.

Keep in mind that I was only using pork there, too. When using items like pork, seeds..etc.. you only get a fragment of DNA.

There'll be a DNA sequencer machine where you can get the full DNA of another mob. You can then mix two DNA's together.

The sequencer will be expensive to use.

This (already) is awesome!
I just have one question, are you going to make it work with mobs added in mods?
could you not look through the mob list to look for their loot (if they have any) then if they do just use there random body-parts in the mutations.

Also, I don't think you should artificially block any combinations, I think there should be something in place to calculate the randomness of the body shape (like size of limbs compared to body etc.) and just make it die after a bit if it is too ridiculous. Or maybe just blocking them would be better.

It would be cool to have some mutants that live for only a day or something because of bad genetics…

Working on re-doing the genetics system right now to mimic life a bit better. It wasn't right before.

It's.. very.. complicated. However, to the end user it should seem very natural and understandable.

A long way to go though! :)/>

Ok, so I've been rewriting the DNA system. I've made it a bit more realistic, but not overly so. My first attempt was as realistic as I could make it, but I found it just didn't really work as well as I'd hoped, so I've pulled back the complexity a lot to make something a bit more playable.

The DNA system is a bit too complex for me to want to try to describe here. :)/> I've also used random names in my code that don't really line up with real life terms, because.. well, I'm not very good at biology!

I guess in simple terms it's like this:

A DNA is split into various genomes. Each genome describes a particular trait of the mob. For example, "head type", "body type", "offspring", "drop items", "drop count".etc..

Each genome has 40 genes. A gene is just an integer and a boolean. The integer refers to a particular trait (pig head, chicken head, 2 drops, 3 drops, wool, silk, whatever), and the boolean defines whether that gene is active or not.

So, a typical DNA (so far) looks a bit like this:


dt[2:1,3:0,3:0,2:0,2:1,2:1,3:0,2:1,3:1,3:1,2:0,3:1,3:0,2:0,2:1,3:1,3:1,2:1,3:1,2:1,2:1,2:1,3:0,3:0,3:1,2:0,3:1,3:0,2:1,3:1,3:0,2:1,2:0,3:1,2:0,2:0,3:1,3:1,2:1,3:1]

In this one, the "dt" genome describes the drop types, where "2" refers to feathers and "3" refers to raw chicken. This is a pure chicken DNA.

If you splice two DNAs from two different mobs, it'll run through each genome on both the mobs and randomly copy the values of the genes into a new genome. It also copies the values of a gene independently, so:

Lets take the very start of the first line:

dt[2:1…

Lets pretend our other DNA is

dt[4:1..

there's a 50/50 chance of it being either a 2 or a 4, and a 100% chance of this gene being active in the new DNA.

You could have a situation where inactive genes become active:

dt[2:0…
dt[1:1…

the result could be:

dt[2:1…

Different traits of the animal depend on the active genes within the DNA. For example, for drops it'll use weighted randomness on any active gene in that genome. For color, it might use an average of all active traits. To decide which models to use for different parts of the bodies i'm using er.. weighted weights pow(1.7)!

As for DNA Fragments (which are extracted from organic material), if you splice a DNA fragment with a DNA, it'll copy a single gene from the fragment into your DNA (from a random genome). You currently have no control which gene gets copied across.

I might eventually make some advanced (expensive) tools, possibly CC peripherals too, to give players a bit more control over their dna.

Would really prefer it if I was the only person making releases on this, even beta/alpha releases. I'm constantly changing things in source, so the last thing I want is old versions floating around that cause issues when people decide to upgrade.etc.

If anyone wants a release, I'd really rather they wait a week or two for me to make it a bit more stable.

the lastest versions of Buildcraft, Industrilacraft, Redpower and computercraft(also 1.4.7) are for minecraft 1.4.6 and you only have to copy your workspace in MCP 1.4.6 and Forge 1.4.6 and you have it for minecraft 1.4.6

MCP 1.4.6: mcp725

So? This is no release yet… I would say, let Mikeemoo work as he pleases. :P/> And maybe be a bit patient? :)/>

Mods that work with 1.4.7 are compatible with 1.4.6. However, if I don't release DNACraft before 1.5, it's unlikely I'll bother keeping support for earlier versions.

Oh well, as Mikeemoo mentioned, it should work for 1.4.6 as is. I'm not sure what you mean with your last post though. But I believe it's best to let Mikeemoo do his thing.

If that class is missing, then you probably should have received a compile time error. Or you didn't copy all files over. Anyway, maybe it isn't supposed to work. Mikeemoo is rally changing the source every hour. I'm not sure what his methods are, but I'm quite sure it isn't supposed for full testing yet. :P/>

Edit: also, Mikeemoo asked not to distribute binaries, so no one should compile that for you besides Mikeemoo himself. :P/>

Please stop posting crash reports on this thread. This mod is NOT released yet, it's not even near finished, and it's constantly being worked on. If you're getting crash reports the chances are you're compiling it wrong. Please dont spam my thread with them.

urielsalis, you need to stop being a whiny, entitled child. This is an unreleased mod. That means that you cannot expect stability, or support for your crashes, and especially not fixes for your crashes. Mikee was kind enough to make the source available. That does not mean that the mod was released. You are not entitled to working releases. You are not entitled to release it yourself. You are not entitled to support for your crashes. You need to back waaay off and enjoy the progress so far. If you MUST play with the mod now, nothing can prevent you from compiling and using the code yourself, but do not come here and torment the guy making the mod about problems with his unreleased mod.

messing around with mob aggression and tolerance. Some mobs (creepers, for example) have a high aggression level, so they'll not tolerate other mobs or mutants that are too genetically different from themselves, and they'll attack.

Pigs have a very low aggression level, so they'll not attack even if the mob is very different.

Next I'll be moving on to territoriality, which'll change the range in which mobs are likely to attack each other.

(of course, I still have to add in behaviours like explosions, teleporting..etc.., damage values and health values)

Also considering adding the idea of swarm, and fleeing. If a mob is attacked and he thinks he'll probably die, he'll flee the target. However, if he's surrounded by genetically similar mobs and they could overpower the creature, they'll all attack together.

Of course, the mating system will be part of this aggression/tolerance system, but the opposite! This'll make it hard for you to naturally breed mutants that are too different to each other. (However, you could of course take blood samples and create your own mutant but at a high cost)

This is awesome, and looks like it has a ton of potential!

Gotta make sure that once actual traits are implemented, you can then splice genes into yourself with a syringe! Right-click with an empty syringe to draw your own blood, somehow put a DNA vial into a syringe, inject yourself with right-click, or an animal! With Ocelot powers, you can now sprint twice as fast!

Whether it attacks you depends on its aggression trait - which is based on another Genome. So, it depends. :)/> You could have an aggressive DNA of a creeperpig, or a passive one..

What happens when you mix seed genomes with other things? Does it make mobs drop wheat?

Also, after watching the 'babies?' video, I thought, "Could you add a gene to change the type of thing the mob needs to be fed to breed?"

It will do. I've temporarily disabled wheat dna though, I'll re-enable it once I've got crop growing implemented.

So talking about seeds, will you be able to genetically engineer crops? For example, using the trait from sugarcane/reeds that makes it grow so tall on wheat, so it grows just as tall and yields more crops? I think that might be pretty awesome.

I'm limited by what textures are already in the game. I'm purposely staying away from distorting models too much because I don't want to have to put my own textures in (because I want texturepacks to work by default).

I doubt i'll be able to make them grow bigger, but i'll be able to have their color change, and change what they drop (and how fast they grow.etc.)

Righty, I've not had a chance to work on it much at all this week, so it's still very far behind and not nearly where I wanted it to be at this point. However, I said I'd release an early alpha, so here's an early-early alpha for you..

https://dl.dropbox.c...aft-0.0.0.8.zip

The actual process of splicing..etc.. isn't at all like how it'll be when it's eventually done. Splicing just mixes two DNAs, 50% of each. This makes it very hard to selectively choose different traits.

If anyone downloads it, give me a shout on here if you're struggling to find out recipes or work out how to use the different machines.

Oh, and I think I've left creeper-style exploding on all aggressive mobs at the moment! which is obviously not going to be in the final thing ;D

Could you give a detailed explanation (with screenshots?) of how to use the machines, because my YouTube's not loading ATM.
EDIT: Lol, it says hello in the DNA profile gui.

Detailed - Not tonight. I have… negative.. motivation right now and want to watch a film then sleep!

There's some info here which might help:

One thing to note is that the Electroporator requires a diamond, egg and the DNA.

Worked a lot last night on the splicing machine, coming up with different GUI ideas..etc..

Also really considering adding special DNA into dungeon chests that'll spawn new creatures that arent in vanilla. Thinking of a sloth and a meerkat so far..

how do you make a DNS sample into something that can spawn a mob ??
first thing that came to mind was adding DNA to a chicken egg in the Electroporation but that didn't work on another note this looks like a awesome mod cant wait to be growing gunpowder :)/>

Get DNA samples and turn them into DNA profiles, combine the profiles, turn the profiles into DNA, combine eggs, diamonds and DNA and you get an egg.

Complicated process.

Diamond is only temporary :)/> Needed something to signify a cost. I'll replace this with something else in future.

The Electroporator will eventually accept eggs, saplings or seeds - but not yet.

Spent a lot of time coming up with ideas for the splicing machine GUI recently. I think I may prototype a few of the ideas when I get back from my break and as the community to see what works well and what doesn't.

It requires forge. That is it. Download the early alpha from Mikee's post above.

Or you just change the ids in the config files. thats why config files exist. no modder can make sure their mod does no collide with another.

And yet I don't ever install it. Catering to a subset of people still isn't the best thing to do, cater for them then it might effect others, who then complain, then you cater to them, and the next group complains, then you cater for them and everyone complains because you just changed the IDs again and broke their worlds because all the blocks they placed are now gone… just because you use a particular mod doesn't mean that it should be catered to you… so I stand by the fact that you should just change to IDs yourself. and if you're too lazy to do that, get the ID Conflict Resolver mod thing that does it all for you.

I'm not changing IDs to make it compatible with other mods. The user can just do that themselves. Takes 10 seconds.

It looks to me as though Forge cannot find DNAcraft's main class. Are you sure you installed it correctly?

EDIT: Also, did you extract the zip?

The zip auto-extracted, as zip files tend to do when I am using Safari. I placed the 'dnacraft' folder into my mods folder. I see a 'DNACraft.class' among other things in the folder.

EDIT: That made it work. Thanks. It appears that any spliced creature, even purebred, will be hostile to anything not identical, will float, and will explode. I hope that is fixed later. Maybe a "special trait" chromosome, that has a few different values that mean different combinations of floating, bow and arrow shooting, and exploding or something.

You need the zip to be… well, zipped.

I know you're probably busy with OpenCCSensors and real life, but I'd just like to say that this is an amazing mod, and you should definitely work on it more. If you feel like it, that is.. I don't mean to sound rude or pushy or anything, but yeah…

I can't wait for selective splicing!

What items are there in the mod?
Like what are some of them called? SInce then I could search for them and see if they exist and I'm just blind..

Btw, Sorry for the caps there..

As Draktharis said, you'll need to compile the source. The best way to do that is probably through Eclipse unless you know what you're doing. (Something like File > Export, pm if you need more help)

EDIT: a compiled version was linked to a while back, though it probably isn't as recent as the version on GitHub: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4295615/DNACraft-0.0.0.8.zip
