[GOGOGO] Release v1.30

Alblaka · November 18, 2011 at 1:04 PM Official Post

This is ADLMDD Alblaka, requesting all Beta-Testing units on standby, copy that, over.

We have a new version inbound, all soldiers arm the fighting stations, get your consoles locked'n'loaded and polish the keyboards.

Operation "v1.3" will require a fully fledged testing assignment. I exspect 120% from everyone, the enemy musn't prevail.
Your secret tasks, codenamed "Changelog" will be assigned with this briefing, ensure to checkup every single of then to provide this operation with maximum debugging effectiveness.

Changelog:

Code

-Reactors shouldn't redirect BC-Pipe input into invalid slots (causing stuff to be ejected right away) anymore 
-Same for Mass Fabricator
-Performance fixes for ElectricBlocks
-NPW crash fix for Reactor
-Overhaul of Scrapbox procentages, gl trying to farm diamonds
-Recyclers can recycle any material again
-Suddenly... HOES!
-Increased stability of the Enet.
-Tools now no longer use up remaining points of energy if the energy is to low to actually perform an action (mainly applyable for mining laser)
-Chainsaws and miners can harvest String from web.
-Breaking the Tip of a miner's mining pipe will now drop mining pipe and not the invalid tip-block.
-Fixed wrenches causing obscure drops upon apllying to cables.
-Increased SMP-network efficiency
-Fixed bugs causing nearby Quantumsuits to influence each other in SMP
-ElectricBlocks display now doesn't exceed the exspected values (since they actually CAN store slightly more energy then maximum displayed)
-Added fix for equipped pumpkin crashes
-Nuclear Reactors don't access diagonally adjavent chambers anymore (damn bugs)
-Teleporting costs are now slightly less influenced by range.
-PersonalSages will now give out text messages if you cannot access them, as well as being unwrenchable if there is still content within (to prevent accidental losses)
-Fixed rare "Unlimitd Battery" bug
-Theoretical support of lang-files for translations
-Optimized teleportation code in regard of server loading chunks
-Trade-O-Mat is now easier to use
-Solar Panels are now far less CPU-costly while determining sun visibility
-Solar Panels are now aware of weather influences
-Solar Panel recipe was changed to use Circuits insteadof Cables again
-Nuclear Reactors now provide 2x the energy
-Water Buckets are much less powerful cooling ingridents for reactors now
-HDs won't sit on their last point of damage forever anymore (making them craftable after cooling down, again)
-You don't take falldamage anymore if you have RubberBoots equipped and fall into a ladder
-Running Macerators give off smoke particles
-Compressors can now be combined with Pumps to create snow from infinite water sources.
-Watermill recipe now gives 2 Watermills (as it was actually intended in first place)
-Generators and GeoGenerators now consume fuel(and produce energy) x2 as fast
-Fuel was recalculated and should be actually a valid way of increasing energy gain
-Using saplings for crafting plantclumps gives 2 of them (to compensate for the amount of energy saplings can produce by burning
-You only need 1 plantclump for a fuel cell anymore
-Fixed Quantum Helmet recipe
-Added config toggle for CTRL or WW Quantum Speed
-Fixed Electrolyzer GUI
-Backpacks shouldn't be accounted as armor by minecrafts engine anymore (Do not absorb/take damage)
-Mining Laser got slightly rebalanced (will probably get a more intensive redo in future). Most modes use less energy now.
- CF Sprayers can now be used to "fill up" Scaffolds by rightclicking them. The foam will EXCLUSIVELY fill the scaffoldblocks (will drop scaffold). Easier to use for building stuff.
-You can now use Sand (rightclick) to instantly those pesky foam blocks who continously deny to harden.
-Painters now have 32 uses total (with no increase in dye costs).
-UUM Recipes for black/borwn dye and resin added.
-QunatumSuit Speedboost is now capped (still extremely fast, but cannot become faster then the speed at which the engine loads chunks)
-Mining Pipes don't suffocate anymore
-New config options to modify all generator outputs (either with direct numbers (EUt) or %)

New Stuff:
CF Backpack - As the name implys, carries loads of CF-pellets to make spraying easier. Requires a canner to be filled.

Your weapons can be found here:
http://player.to/ic2/dev/industrialcraft-2-client_1.30.jar
http://player.to/ic2/dev/industrialcraft-2-server_1.30.jar

You will require the casual ML/MLMP gear, take note: The new army uniform "MCForge" now comes in 1.1.3 format, go for it accordingly.

Over and Out.

PS: Ignore the military language, probably played too much ArmA II in the last few days.

Links & log added, get moving :3

Note: ofc you don't need to test the performance notes, unless they were related to a critical CPU-eater previously.

Talonius · November 18, 2011 at 2:48 PM

Hmm, MineForge's forum thread and SourceForge page do not list version "1.1.3"

Alblaka · November 18, 2011 at 3:31 PM Official Post

SpaceToad claimed he would push a release asap >.>
And that was 3 days ago.

Coolest change imo.

Jup, decided to implement that one after building a small foam-house.
Took me about 3 times longer then building it with basic material.

-_- kb is going to nerf solars...

map corrupts when u mine cable still, with miner, was first thing i checked

Alblaka · November 18, 2011 at 4:57 PM Official Post

Jep, but that's up to him then. Needs some retweaking though, because defining any value but 100 has some quite negative effect on the CPU-usage of a Solar panel per tick (dunno how big that one will strike, though).

While you're mentioning it, it's not on the changelog either, thus i assume it got lost somewhere, thanks for mentioning it.

edit: It's on the list, just wasn't in this release yet. gonna mark it in bold.

darenton2k7 · November 18, 2011 at 5:03 PM Official Post

can i offer a small suggestion, perhaps take a leaf outa equivilent exchange and maybe if u charge up a roller you can paint more than 1 block at a time but takes off the uses, i remember when u first added foam i built a giant house and it took me literally 2 days to paint lol. just think it might make some people happy, just a suggestion

Changelog:
-Backpacks shouldn't be accounted as armor by minecrafts engine anymore (Do not absorb/take damage) But shows as armor in the armor bar.
-Mining Laser got slightly rebalanced (will probably get a more intensive redo in future). Most modes use less energy now. If you use low focus on sand you can manage to break 2 blocks... dk if intended or not avoidable, explosive: YAY rocket jump!
- CF Sprayers can now be used to "fill up" Scaffolds by rightclicking them. The foam will EXCLUSIVELY fill the scaffoldblocks (will drop scaffold). Easier to use for building stuff.works great!
-You can now use Sand (rightclick) to instantly those pesky foam blocks who continously deny to harden.love it!

Tested most of the stuff, no big bugs or problems found. I like it!
Oh and btw when do we get to hear of that new big secret project? XD

Wayne?

Gorni:
To mention it, the armor "bar" is ENTIRELY independant from the actual armor system. It basicly only takes the damage value of the itemslots and compares them against their maxdamage, multiplied by fix values. You could equip a instantly breaking dirt-armor and it would display a full armor bar.
Lowfocus is not meant to break anything but a single block. Hmm.. probably gotta give it range 0.1 (should travel the first frame/block, but not destroy anything but the first block)

wayne? if u mean "when" about an hour ago

Check that, FIXED!!!! One line of bad code, 5 hours of debugging... -_- Anyway, it would seem that when the miner was (re)created, the call for the item distribution (sends items to either an adjacent inventory, like a chest, or it drops it) anyway, the call to tell it what to drop was referring to the inventory of the miner itself, not the targetblock...

Oh okay, so it does not really give out the real armor. good to know.

Hmm i think its the strenght of the beam that is the problem. you just manage to kill 2 sand blocks if you target the border of one, so the beam will reach the second without to travel far. If you try the same with stone, it doesent work. But its not really a bug i would take a lot time to fix. since no one will massfarm sand with the bugged low-focus laser.

@darenton: Wayne means as much as "I don't mind that at all." or in other words... i dont give a fuck.

Btw did anyone play 1.0 by now? Just played it and took a look on the memory usage. That thing goes up like a rocket! without anything built....

darenton2k7 · November 19, 2011 at 7:22 AM Official Post

gorni ah i didn't know that lol, then again im brittish and we have this weird need to make sense XD

also gorni u notice how al completely ignored ur request about the secret project....just incase anyone missed that XD "which i know nothing about....Honest!"

Alblaka · November 19, 2011 at 8:06 AM Official Post

In german language, "wayne" is as well used as a shortcut for the term "Wen interessierst?" which is exactly the term mentioned above already :3

@Secret project: Duh, it's secret. You will be told once we're close to releasing it, which can take some more weeks, depending on how fast Drashian is going to work on it :§
