Help with Pre Creation of an IC2 Addon

wrong section for this.

you have no idea what you are talking about! what you prepose would require decent or higher coding knowledge which, if you had, would eliminate the need for asking for help.
I can help you with the basics, but i'd advise to start low till you have more coding knowledge

Dunno. It sound simple. Genreator and an iteration on connected water blocks. Still I think that finite water thing would be a mess to code. I have read code from terraFirmaCraft and to be honest I would not do something like that (can't judge if good or bad, just I would not do that).

To start modding google MCP (Minecraft codders pack as I reffere) with proper version of forge and IC2 API. There are pretty simple explanations on hos to install it with Eclipse on MCP wiki, or Forge wiki.

are you kidding?! you couldn't "just do an iteration on connectd water blocks", it would be so cpu intensive it's not even funny

i'll send you a pm

I know how to ged MCP working with Modloader

Using Forge, instead. Modloader creates a couple of decompile errors.

Also, from what I've seen forge for minecraft 1.3 changes almost every aspect of modding, so be careful of that.

To do what you want,you would have to know how to code liquids,generators,some way to calculate the height of the water,and about 15 other things.
I am at the same stage for modding and i have a good idea of what my big mod will be,but im mkaing little things until then.

Ok. I have a nice problem. wanted to do ad addon do IC2 with API that is provided, and I turn out that most of things that I want to do isn't in API included. So I got a greate idea: decompile MC with IC2 on board. Was greate idea, but when I decompile MC with IC, and forge in jar IC2 isn't included in project, so I end up with mc with forge, and nothing else.

Any suggestions?

put ic2 and frge in the jar, it will decompile but not recompile
however, all the mc base class files will be totally messed up, so you'll have to just use the decompiled ic2 for reference

if you could elaborate on this more...

i'll pm you

This may be a stupid question: How do I implement the IC2-API in my decompiled MC with Forge?

download the src and stick it in the src folder

Sorry to thread hijack, but I only had 1 question that didn't seem worthy of its own thread.

I enjoy the Gravisuit addon, and would like to create some more super armor. I am can already due this, however, I was wondering how would I go about destroying the block that the player is looking at on a key press? I am basically trying to get the function of the mining laser built into a helmet, but have the laser only destroy 1 block.

Wow, I JUST had this identical idea, almost. Which is why I just signed up to the forum and am reading this thread. But yea, basically same thing, mining laser into a helmet with a few other extras along with it. Inspired by the gravichestplate. Hope you can figure it out and make it happen, I'm also going to look into making my own for personal use and as a way to learn more about modding.

that's a new concept, I've never really thought about that,
check in the entityplayer class to see if there is a getLookedAtBlock or something
if not a klunky way you could do it would be to get the entityplayer look vector and test various points along that line
