[Addon v1.43] Solar Helmet - now with SMP! [v2.5]

1st Official Post

    Requested by many. Just make a solar helmet and wear it, and it'll recharge your batpack or electric jetpack at 1 EU/t (or 9 if you're wearing an advanced one) while you're under sunlight.

    Download v2.5 Client
    Download v2.5 Server
    Download v2.5 Bukkit

    Testers needed: If you are recharging a batpack/e-jetpack/lappack using a solar helmet on a server and got kicked for overflow or the numbers are out of sync, PLEASE tell me, so I can code a better sync method using Packet230s.

    As of v2.0, you can put the mod straight on the mods folder.

    - Forgot the armor textures yet again...

    v2.1a:

    v2.1:
    - Advanced solar helmet! Surround a helmet by 8 solar panels and you'll get one. It'll charge at 9 EU/t as opposed to 1. It looks almost the same as a normal solar helmet when worn unfortunately - spriters needed again!
    - New icon by Xero
    - Right-clicking a helmet in hands gives some handy info

    v2.0a:
    - Fixed packaging issue (the armor texture wasn't included)

    - Reordered ifs for a possible performance enhancement
    - Charging is now restricted to batpacks and electric jetpacks again, due to an exploit

    v1.1:
    - Any wearable item classified as rechargeable can now be charged (except the nano/quantum chestplate), such as the extra batpacks from Rocket Science
    - Added base for SMP support

    v1.0:
    - Initial release

    You craft a solar helmet like this:

    And upgrade one:

    After you wear it, you'll definitely look hayoish:

    I knew someone would do this eventually. Looks cool, hopefully you can get some screenshots up!

    Pretty cool besides the fact that there is no smp. Expecially the copy-into-mods-folder install
    but the lack of SMP turned me off. sorry. I would have otherwise loved this.

    I'm still working on SMP, however OnTickInGame is not triggering for me on the server side - I tried asking #risucraft but no response... any ideas?

    Code
    Initializer:
ModLoader.SetInGameHook(this,true,false);




OnTickInGame:
public void OnTickInGame(net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer game) {
... do stuff ...
}

    Alright, This is What we have been waiting for! The Best headgear in teh universe!


    Now all we need is higher Tier versions, with 8 and 64 cells respectively, around a nanohelmet and a quantum helmet XD

    your error would be due to the fact that there is no "onTickInGame" function on the server side modloader class, however I forgot how to bypass that complication :S

    Once these issues are resolved, I'm downloading the mod! :Bronze Helmet: :Solar Panel:
