Sworn off this silly block game for a few months 'tho, so i hope you keep at it!Make a mining one, cmon you know you wanna.  So is it possible to make "mounts" that replace your current equipment with a set of abilities that they own? I figured that would be the hardest part in making Mech's in MC. That at best have to "craft" your guns and hold them in your hand not get them depending on the model of robot your climbing into.

I will put it on my version of toasty if it can mine blocks into its own internal reserve that, when I park it, I can hook it up to an ME network that will identify it as a chest. So really, just mount a diamond chest on the back and throw anything it zaps into it. Make mining fun again!

Pretty good idea. It doesn't make a tile entity when parked, but it does have its own inventory. Maybe I can make item collection a bit easier.

Lizard Wizard posted:All of this talk of Magitek armor is neat, but how do I craft it? Use NEI since there is no other way to know. The instructions on how to use the armor is in the .rar file in a README file. Things I have noticed so far (not criticizing your mod, just noting) The only things the armor can currently do is walk up one block inclines, burn stuff, and provide immunity to zombies (since they can't reach you). The firebeam has a very short range and can only hit blocks (not mobs). The armor doesn't actually provide any protection, and to attack things you actually need to equip a weapon. Where your model sits and where you actually sit are two different things. Anything you pick up goes into the armor inventory. I don't know what plans he has for his mod but I forsee great things. Also DigiDigi, I guess your first post was this mod? Welcome to the community! Edit: My guess is each magicite has one ability, and depending on what magicite you have loaded into your Magitek armor gives it it's ability.

Depending on the number of abilities I end up making I could have them concentratable in one magicite, or have tech parts seperate, etc. The beam /should/ be igniting mobs.. hmm.. (Wasn't really my first post.. which seems to have dissapeared, but may as well be. I've lurked for quite a while, glad to be here!)

(3x3 mining area or addional speed) will it take enchantments into consideration?, Will it consume fuel faster or will it drain from the item?, will it draw fuel from its inventory? Will there be upgrades to the armor? (fire immunity for the armor, increased protection for the rider, increased cargo capacity) Will there be control modules? (basically items you hold in your hand that tells the armor to do an action, like use "Metal Claw" or "Magitek Laser" something) Something similar to what Shadowmorn said.

Holy hell modding has become hard. It took whole evening to get a Minecraft 1.6.2 + Forge + Optifine + Liteloader + SPC + WorldEdit + WorldEdit CUI combo to work. Everything was so simple with just modloader, 1.5 or earlier and Magiclauncher.

You really shouldn't be using Optifine because A) You probably don't need it anymore and B) It breaks mods at random.

What Shukaro said. There's a very good chance that's more Optifine's fault than it is 1.6.2's fault. I could never get Optifine to work with anything on versions of Minecraft where modding was easy, either.

I gotta say that I really really hope RedPower2 comes back. That, or Eloraam's minia/zeta thing is what she was referring to on twitter, concerning a "big announcement". Basically a Minecraft clone built from the ground up in C++. Supposedly, Eloraam ports all her code from C++ to Java for RP2, so it's my pipedream that it means all of the RP2 features are already a part of it. But really, its design is so crazy good, I think it really takes what made Minecraft fun and somewhat unique in the first place (building) and makes it better. Compared to other "tech" mods, RP2 is the only one that is any fun in creative. Instead of focusing on survival-mode benefits like fast digging tools, indestructible armor, other Skinner box type things that basically only ask that you dump resources into something, RP2's blocks provide several well-defined utilities that can do next to anything when combined with each other. There's nothing like the feeling of slaving away in the guts of a huge machine you built yourself, climbing out of the sub-basement, flicking a switch and watching it all work. And there's so much stuff that nobody appreciates or knows about, like how tube networks can operate across unloaded chunks, same goes for RP2 computers and circuits.

Thermal Expansion Applied Energistics RedNet cables from Minefactory Reloaded Redstone in Motion Artifice Logistics Pipes those five mods have replicated pretty much 100% of RedPower2 and they've all done it in a way that doesn't mutilate servers. I can't think of a single feature of RP2 that isn't in one of those mods.

So I had a really stupid idea for a mod. Forge Liquids: Take any block in game. Melt it into a liquid. Keep it in a tank. Change it back when you want it as a block again. This would mostly be for decorative purposes, but you could probably use them with liquicrafters as well, in an ideal world. It'd also have a sort of liquidizer gun for players to use. Shooting it at a block turns it into its liquid state, and vanilla blocks would have their own liquid states (Dirt to mud for example).

Sunblood posted:Thermal Expansion I mean yeah, you get your replacements for the major features, but there's a few missing. I really enjoyed playing with the computers, for instance. Fully emulated 6502 processor. And like I mentioned, it's built to not require chunk loaders, I am fairly certain that none of those have that feature. Also, RP2's tubes, to my knowledge, have not been emulated yet. So you can get a lot of the features, but I think it feels really slapshod because they all have their own differences and whatnot. Furthermore, RP2 has been made with a design philosophy that caters to the kind of gameplay I enjoy, the others are just emulating features because they left a huge hole in the automation crowd's toolbox when RP2 disappeared. AE is an entirely different ball of wax. I really dislike it because it takes all the fun out of my spergy intricate machine building by giving you a big block that you plug other magical blocks into to make it do things for you. It's more survival oriented instead of building oriented, again.

The only thing I'm missing from RP2 is the ability to pump liquids into the world. Which is coming with buildcraft. Anything else is already replicated. Moog posted:Furthermore, RP2 has been made with a design philosophy that caters to the kind of gameplay I enjoy, the others are just emulating features because they left a huge hole in the automation crowd's toolbox when RP2 disappeared. Elaborate please? If you mean computercraft interaction, you can actually get that with a lot of other mods. VV Sometimes it is much more fun to watch the crazy machines do their thang though.

Musluk posted:The only thing I'm missing from RP2 is the ability to pump liquids into the world. Which is coming with buildcraft. Basically all it comes down to for me is RedPower Control, and the fact that I'm a total RP2 fanboy. I also enjoy the consistent look and feel between all of RP2's parts, in addition to being one mod all it's own. It fits what I enjoy perfectly, and there's nothing that's swayed me yet in a "newer" mod, so I don't feel a need to change. I've also got fingers spuriously crossed that some promised content, things like laser machine blocks, hard light, new sources and uses for power, more computer peripherals, 'swarm drones', amongst others, will come out some day and possibly return it to the limelight. it's been more than 9 months since the last update, someone hold me.

I didn't say features, I said code. Her features were all pretty good and she made stuff really fast(for a while). But it was phenomenally badly coded and was an absolute performance nightmare, not to mention the huge bug problems. To just give an idea, her redstone timers reloaded the chunk they were in every single time they ticked. It's a pretty common story. Creative programmer with lots of ideas and momentum creates something really cool very quickly, but their rate of innovation starts to decline before too long, under the weight of their poorly managed codebase. In fact, it's exactly what happened to Notch with Minecraft.

They didn't burn, either, so you couldn't clear them out with flint and steel. I actually didn't mind the volcanoes too much, but holy poo poo those trees were horrid. And, of course, you could not turn them off because of her ~*~vision~*~ for things that wound up never getting implemented. She even, as I recall, pulled poo poo like putting the volcanoes (which a lot of people hated) in the machines module (which was a major reason people got the mod) to make sure you played with all the toys in the toybox, including the ones with jaggedy bits that you're pretty sure the cat pissed on.
