[IC2 Experimental 2.2.5xx][GregTech 5.0.1f][MC 1.7.10] Advanced Pain

Ithithdui · Jun 10th 2014

Hello fellow IC^2 players!
A few days ago I was playing minecraft in creative mode and noticed while playing that gregtech has a humongous amount of items(bolts, screw, lenses, etc.) that you can make but don't really do much. I decided to change that. If you think the name is a bit weird then you should understand how I am going to add purpose to these items. I am going to redesign the player hit/damage system. And to fix your hurts you will need to use the formerly not-so-useful items.

It will add not only ways to fix hurts, but ways to make hurts as well. Guns, lasers, dynamite launchers, etc.

This mod will require not only Industrial craft ^2, but also Gregtech. I will be moving straight ahead to version 1.7.10 or 1.8, depending on how soon 1.8 is released.

How I am going to implement this (in other words what I am going to do):

Display Spoiler

First of all, the old health system will be partially disabled. The player hitbox will be modified to detect different kinds of damage and specify the area damaged.
I have also decided that players will not be the only ones to have the new advanced health system. Villagers, wolves(tamed version only), cats(tamed version only), and horses(tamed version only) will also have the ability to be fixed up and upgraded through technology.
Robotics will be heavily used in single-player worlds, players will be able to patch each other up in multi-player worlds. To a limited extent patching yourself up will be implemented.
Health will be given as a bar under this mod, however this will be more of a general indicator of pain than a precise this-is-how-much-health-you-have-left thing. To find out what is actually wrong you will usually have to give yourself a check-up. However, if it would be obvious in the real world, it will be immediately obvious in the game too. There will be both low and high tech options for fixing stuff.
Another thing, injuries will only last until a) they heal, b) you fix them, or c) you die and respawn(unless you're playing hardcore. this is also to prevent you from dying endlessly because your fatal wound persisted through respawning). But, anything you do right on an operating table will persist, even through respawn. This means that you can keep all of your augmented strength and the like even when you got killed and are now 20,000 blocks away from your stuff.

~~I will be editing base classes in order to do this, unless I somehow find a better way to implement a new health system.~~ I just found out you can't change the base classes anymore. The good news is, I can still make this work. Compatibility should not be a problem unless someone tries doing the same thing.

Every game loop ends with a call to a method in my mod. The method
checks for damage to an entity that will use the new health system and
calls three functions upon discovering it. The first gathers information
that the second will use. The second translates the damage to the new
system and updates the entities health. The third refunds the health for
the old system and prevents the entity from dying except under the new
system.

When I am going to implement this:

Screws and rounds? Seems to me that we are robots then But I think we should wait what will come:)

Physicist · Jun 10th 2014

Rods and screws to fix joints and broken bones?

Cybernetic replacement limbs?

Robotic surrogates?

rubber pellets to fill your tumtum? calcium dust to increase bone strength?

Screws will be used to make/fix machines, construct items, etc. Rounds will be used for weaponry (AE2 already adds the matter cannon which can use gregtech rounds. On another note I forgot to mention I would be adding more ways to dish out pain in this mod too)

Yes
I didn't even think about that. Oh yes
Think Modular Power Suits except it isn't visible. But yes

You mean to quell stomach aches? Didn't think about that, but yes
Yes

He's more machine now, than man.

Cybernetic replacements that act like Enchants. Haste, jumping, more melee damage, better targeting...

oh yes

Schurf · Jun 11th 2014

Excited to see this. I would love to become part machine, and enhance myself with tech. I personally do not enjoy many of the magic mods, and enhancing GT sounds perfect for me. I am looking forward to seeing how it develops, and wish you plenty of luck.

Do you have any thoughts on where your mod will start/end pregression wise? Would be cool if you would be able to get some minor enhancements early on (like minor speed boost or strength boost), but need some of the highest tiered GT stuff for something like super hard skin or even the ability to punch stone with the strength of a diamond pick

Greg strongly recommends using NEI with GT. He used NEI not updating as an excuse to delay GT for MC 1.7. I'm not sure what the aim of your survey is, but I predict it'll be close to 100% yes.

Chocohead · Jun 12th 2014

NEI is mainly to stop people asking "how do I make this?" on the forum.

Ithithdui · Jun 12th 2014

Okay, I might use CodeChickenCore for a few things then.

Just gonna pop in here for awhile, not trolling, but proving a point. If you don't know how to import a techne model into minecraft, and can't even look it up yourself, I think you should just stop right there and then. Please stop and think before you post stupid questions. Or at least look it up first. Mainly here. [url='http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=10625']How do I use Techne models?

Ithithdui · Jun 17th 2014

That was just me asking something that has plagued me since I first started modding. For some weird reason I cannot import a 3d model from techne into minecraft without messing up. Although in the future, I will most likely just look through the code until I figure out how to do something. After looking at the tutorials. (There are so many now compared to a few years ago.)
