Suggestion: Add crafting of Mining Laser config

That's a good Idea. I remember tons of servers having to disable it using unconvenient ways.
The same should be applied for the Nuke, if it's not already (which I do not rembmer).

Good idea. Simple, easy and straight to the point. Good

I was once on a server that had to use plugins to remove every crafted mining laser, which didnt stop people from trying to craft them and loosing the resources.

if disabled properly no resources are taken, laser just dissapear from crafting result on click.

I have my own server and me too I have to disable the mining laser. I use Essential for that. The laser is still craftable but nobody can use it, the right click doesn't work.
If an entry in the config file could allow me to disable the mining laser, I'd be really happy.

Remember that you need a mining laser to craft the thermal centrifuge.

and the pattern storage

change all recipes?

pretty unexpected solution eh?

expect fix in ~3 hours, but what will replace laser in recipes, maybe lapotron or diamond block?

Not sure if this would work, but overriding the original laser and replacing it with a "Internal Laser Component".

addition of new item is addon plan, not hack, spritework required for this and everyone will be forced to keep this addon "permanently" or already crafted items will dissapear.

basically there are two options: disable laser and disable crafting of laser.

3 options
3rd option: disable charging of laser

actually very good plan and especially easy to implement, here is sample code:

package rawdev.core;




import net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration;
import ic2.core.init.InternalName;
import ic2.core.item.tool.ItemToolMiningLaser;




public class ItemToolMiningLaserImp extends ItemToolMiningLaser {




	public ItemToolMiningLaserImp(Configuration config,
			InternalName internalName) {
		super(config, internalName);
		this.tier = 999;
	}




}

initsection:

Block.blocksList[Ic2Items.miningLaser.itemID] = null;
		Item.itemsList	[Ic2Items.miningLaser.itemID] = null;




Ic2Items.miningLaser = new ItemStack(new ItemToolMiningLaserImp(new Property("block",Ic2Items.miningLaser.itemID+"",Type.INTEGER), InternalName.itemToolMiningLaser));

trickconfig to fool ic2e internals:

package rawdev.core;




import net.minecraftforge.common.Configuration;
import net.minecraftforge.common.Property;




public class ConfigurationImp extends Configuration {
	private Property prop;
	public ConfigurationImp(Property prop){
		this.prop = prop;
	}

	public Property get(String category, String key, int defaultValue)
	{
		return prop;
	}
}

compile and have fun.

not posting compiled mod since nobody will download and run it anyway.

I think that if you block the use of the mining laser, blocking the recharge would be in the same config entry.

it wont create any config, it will replace standart laser with item that have different properties, it can create different type of entity (zombie spawner laser btw), its possible to disable specific modes this way and\or alter any parameter, with additional forge handshake hack it's possible to make mod serversided without telling clients anything.

While on the topic of the Mining Laser and options I would like to see an option to swap buttons on the laser, and maybe add place torch like the drill. The laser to me is a mining tool and not a weapon so swapping buttons makes sense. I'm also using a Bibliocraft armor stand and tool rack rotational charging setup and would like to just throw my laser on the tool rack with right-click like I do with my drill.

EDIT
Being able to enable/disable laser modes might be another solution. I assume the big ones are long range, scatter and exploding modes.

I'm thinking about some changes in Mining Laser recipe - like it's crafted from Laser Module and some other components. Then, we replace ML with LM in all crafting recipes, and ML can be safely disabled

laser emitter + large energy module, just like all other tools created.

large energy module also can be used in armor and replace raw reddiamond.
