Industrial Loot 0.1 for IC2 1.95
http://www.mediafire.com/?zgdvd7y7zdai0ty

Make loot chests actually worth finding, string?, wheat ??, some useless pig saddle, bah I battled mobs to get this recycler fodder! Aside from some redstone, iron, the odd diamond and music disc, its all pretty useless.

If you've installed Railcraft you'll find the odd item and Redpower adds forth boot discs, but we all know what you need more of.

Finally the chance to find some of the items you need to get started. And when I get the bukkit port, get people on your server to actually use some bronze.

Oh and I fiddled with NPC villages because I can, and so you can actually find one.

requirements:
Industrial Craft² 1.95b
Minecraft 1.2.5
Forge

Dungeon loot chest
removed: Saddle
added: Batpack
Circuit
Carbon Plate

NPC village blacksmith loot chest
removed: Food items
swapped: Sapplings for rubber sapplings
Iron armour for bronze armour
added: Insulated copper cables
RE batteries
Bronze, copper and tin ingots

Improvments to NPC village spawn code
- added additional biomes to spawn list
ocean, swampland, taiga, ice Plains, ice Mountains, desert Hills, forest, forest Hills,
jungle, jungle Hills, river
- Above change mainly to counteract Redpower volcanoes over-building villages.
- village path generator builds wood plank walkways over liquids/oceans.
- added missing doors to blacksmith and one small hut.

Future improvements:
- add a few more items to dungeon chests
- Bukkit server port (next on the list)
- Write forge style hooks into the various loot chests, and submit as possible forge improvements.
- spawn loot items in Stronghold and Abandoned Mineshaft chests
- incorprate changes made in MC 12w21 (or later). Namely ability for villagers to trade items, Desert Pyramid loot chests, biome specific hut materials.
- add some items from other mods, Buildcraft, Redpower
- configuration files
- unique industrial themed map generated structures

version history
0.1 First released version, only includes changes to NPC villages and spawns IC2 items in village blacksmith and dungeon chests.

Next version will include some rare but valueable items, an Energy Crystal (unchanged of course), the odd bit of fibre cable, some random cells.

I'm considering using some redpower items in custom map generator code,
as chest loot, as well that things like Marble, and sub blocks for
structures. I've already battled with the IC2 API and Forge. Wondering
what help I could get for using RP blocks ?

I'd rather you didn't, especially in the case of using microblocks in
worldgen. That's pretty complicated, and goes pretty deep into
internals.

So much for my plans to replace the vanilla fortress end portal room with a far more stylish (and roomy) premade one I have from an old map. It uses a few microblock arches and marble in general. Installing this on a server usually involves killing lots of silverfish or finding an admin who actually has good skills at using world edit.

I hope u will join the IC2 Team since this is just something missing in IC2!

Unfortunately it does require modifying some base classes in minecraft, think that is something the IC2 Team are trying to avoid.
Aside from dungeons there are no Forge hooks into loot chests, and Mojang are adding more stuctures in the next version that have loot chests.

Does this work for SMP?

Not yet, still working on the bukkit port and some other improvements.

I've managed to recompile bukkit base classes as is required for the loot changes for NPC villages, but the next step is to get Forge to compile into bukkit.
Problem is I can't decompile the bukkit version of forge, nor can I find the vital source files that are specific to bukkit.

Looks like I may have to request a new forge hook and wait to see what it appears in. Possibly a stable 1.3.1 version of Forge, given the developers are no doubt busy with that.

Just a quick note, I will be updating this to IC2 1.0.7 or whatever at some stage. In the meantime the 1.0.7 beta for IC2 does add some items to loot chests anyway.

Considering making the NPC village part into a seperate mod, would do away with the need to edit base classes for Industrial Loot. But first I need to see what I can do with the trade system.
