Getting started?

1st Official Post

    I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to show me how to get started making an IC2 addon? I've modded Minecraft before but have no idea how to go about adding new IC2 machines and items. Any help would be appriciated!

    I can help you in creating IC2 stuff, but first I'd want to know how to make cable render (I need it for my own add-on).

    First, make a furnace-like block and all other classes (TileEntity, Recipes, etc.) Make your TileEntity class implement IEnergySink and IEnergyStorage (if you want it to store EU like other machines). Also, use this guide, it will help you.

    How do I decompile IC2?

    GregoriusT has a nice step by step thing on this subject in his profile

    Is the answer to this question no?

    few minor errors is a bit of an understatement, all of the base mc class name, methods, and vars are randomized (aka Item.java may be called WorldGenHell.java)
    o... that and it won't recompile most of the time

    So what should I do? I'm going to try to add a new generator and a few new items.

    I get these errors after getting the decompile to work. Help!

    Anyone?

    You kind of just triple posted. You could try pm-ing somebody that would know how. I'm not the best person to answer this stuff as I have never decompiled IC2 in MCP, and when it comes to Java coding, I am pretty new to it. That being said, can you list the steps you took to do this in MCP?

    Is the answer to this question no?

    Interesting, I followed Greg's instructions and got the exact same error, I don't think I can help you here

    Is the answer to this question no?

    If only the patch was updated. It must be a universal problem.


    If Greg got it to work with 1.107, we may be doing something wrong here

    Is the answer to this question no?

    The Problem could be Forge. I decompiled IC² with Forge 303, but then i put it into a 251-Setup without many Errors. That means that the Forgeinstall is having another deobfuscation, than normal MCP (some of the renamings are not working properly!), what caused MANY Errors even in my own pre-existing Code! So decompile with Forge 303 and then use the decompiled Version of that, in a Forge-251-Setup to let it work without that many compilingproblems.

    I looked through the code and I'm planning on making a new generator. Do I need a mod_Whatever file? Where would I reference the textures? (Haven't used forge before)
