IC2 1.97 Over Compatability! (Awesome Bug That They Should Never Fix!)

EliasErik · Aug 15th 2012

Industrial Craft 2 1.97 has over compatability! (thats a phrase I'm using that is the reason that my upcoming modpack is going to be awesome, it is in developement and is unofficially called U-XPLORE) But, to shorten things up ;), ALMOST every addon mod that is desinged for MC 1.1 or later or IC2 1.90 are compatable with MC 1.2.5 and IC2 1.97! I first figured that out when I really wanted the BC-IC2 Crossover Mod, but it is designed for IC2 1.95b, but i tried installing it anyway and it worked!

About the poll: I've removed the "no" anwser because the whole purpose was that whatever addon didn't work would be posted and then I would put it in a spoiler.

WARNING! USE OUTDATED ADDONS WITH INDUSTRIAL CRAFT 2 1.97 AT YOUR OWN RISK! THESE ADDONS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR AND MAY NOT WORK WITH INDUSTRIAL CRAFT 2 1.97!

That's nothing to be proud of, 1.2.5 had little obfuscation changes from 1.2.4 and we didn't change the API in 1.97.

Welcom to noob town. That only works when there's minor IC2 changes and not a major Minecraft version change. Happened once before and even then not all mods automatically work with the new version. Most do yes, but some don't.

Only works with MC 1.4+ (or 1.5+), when we have a Mod-API, which makes obfuscation not an issue. (And only if the Mod-API works like a Mod-API should do)

What, did you think incompatibility was a feature? Who are you, FlowerChild? Wait, FlowerChild is actually sane.

Does over compatability work for you? Do some addons not work with IC2 1.97? 1
