Bug 1.43 Extended ID incompatibility

1st Official Post

    I was going to post this under the more than 256 blocks post but you quickly dismissed and locked it.


    I have not tried with that mod but I did with Robintons4096, IC2 will not work with it.


    I did a completely fresh install. Only put ML, MLMP, Forge, the proper ID resolver mod for the extended and Robintons in the jar.


    Dropped IC2 in mods folder. Immediately crashes. I have every other industrial style mod installed and they all worked fine with it.

    1. It's not our job to resolve incompatibilitys between random mods and MCForge (because the chances are good the ID thingy overrides MCForge classes, thus causing IC² to crash since it tries to access the MCForge functions).
    2. Without crashlog resistance is futile help is not avaiable.

    I will try to find places where IC2 is incompatible with extended block ID mods, also because Eloraam is thinking on implementing a block ID extender in Forge itself.


    (I joined the devteam, but have no rank yet)

    Sorry I don't have a crashlog, this was a few days ago and I've got everything cleaned up and installed, the thing is I am down to about 6 blocks because each of you high tech mod makers like to start overlapping each other more and more, yet each has a feature or three left that still complement each other well and so I have IC2/BC/Forestry/PC/Minefactory/RC/did I leave anybody out? (Red Power got ditched because instead of using your rubber trees she had to put gigantic monstrosities everywhere, besides I dont have any room left). I would love to trim a few of these out. IC2 is not one of them. I like the way y'all have implemented electricity much better than anyone else so far.


    Here is the mod http://www.minecraftforum.net/…intons-mods/#4096BlockIDs
    It worked like a champ with every other mod except yours.


    I was hesitant to come in here and start complaining Al (can I call you Al?) , but it was important enough for me to register ;)


    Thank you Richard. Also thanks for your solar helmet. I'm sure you make a great addition to the team :D

    Quote from RichardG

    The next version should be fully compatible with block ID extenders. I tested using Robinton's 4096BlockIDs but should work with any extender.


    Awesome. Thanks so much. I won't have to sweat blocks being tied up by stuff I will never use just because I need 2 things out of 20 from a particular mod.
    I'm sure a lot of people will really appreciate this.
