[Addon v2.0.367+?] (Minecraft 1.6.2/4) Transformer Converters Development Thread

I use it and have found some...interesting genre's. Hard rock/heavy metal(instrumental only) folk music is different.

By the way, this is what I'm currently doing in my free-free time. Notice how I have the red box around something in the picture... Makes it hard for me to save without lagging or half-crashing.

Since you look for awesome Music, why not this:

No. Just no. I was looking for music, not acapellas. Sorry.

I have some weird entries in the startup log.
Compare them with the settings in the TransformerConverters.cfg

And there is the TransformerConverters.cfg:

Any idea why the settings within the log are completely different from the config file?

I'm playing with the newest version "Transformer Converters [Early Beta 0.0.1D]-SRG.zip".

Hello,

I honestly don't know whats causing the errors. I do know however, why the ids are different from each other. Theres currently a bug with Transformer Converters, that if the silver ids get changed to the original intended id's, it will crash your game. So, I had to manually set the ids to the original ids, and the config just randomly generates a id for each broken one. Sorry I'm a really bad developer. I'll try to look into it some more. But, thanks for telling me this anyway. I was not aware of this. You really helped me. Even if it is small.

Thanks for reading this and understanding (maybe?), -Master801

Quote from GregoriusT

This happened probably because you registered an Item which doesn't actually exist to the OreDict. AKA "new ItemStack(null, 1, 0)", while the null Part is causing the Problem. (in most occassions it will crash if you enter null into the ItemStack Constructor, but there are ways to screw that up aswell by just directly inserting ItemIDs instead of Blocks or Items).

Hmmm.... I'll have to look into this even more then. Wait, so, what your stating is, I should register my items in PostInit right? Or am I getting this wrong?

EDIT: I think I fixed it? I registered my ingots and blocks (only silver) in the PreInit, and did the silver generation in the Init. Is this a better way of doing this than before?

Quote from GregoriusT

That specific Message was about calling OreDictionary.registerOre with invalid Parameters. If you use an Item for a Stack, which doesn't even exist (at that point in time), then you have done something wrong.

Basically, you have to do the following in @preInit:

make your Config
add your Items
add your Blocks
register your Ores

In that order. What you did was very likely registering Ores before you actually added the Items.

Oh, yeah. Oops, really big and dumb mistake on my part. I'll change it right now. (How did I not know how to add items and blocks in correctly?)

Quote from CastielAngelow

For getting basics best all over the world is very compressed, greatful "Coding cup of Java" & "Forging a Minecraft Mod" by Vswe. Since he is from Sweden or similar, his English is lot better then lot of UK / US people's and understanding things through his tutorial videos is quite simple. I learned from him too.

btw. finally break from work and some living stuff. Time to already truly download last commits and set things properly Without "Delete Invasion"

Finally! I was actually missing talking to you while I came home from school... Just make sure to not delete your files anymore. And, if you need help, you know where to find me.

I don't really look at the basic forge tutorials. And, I also don't really like to watch videos of people doing it. I just miss a lot of things whenever I do. But, I will watch some videos if, they are very-very-helpful, and the only one that I can actually find with the problem I have. Re-did the engine's gui code, and it now crashes. I know why, and I'll do it later. By the way, the slot index's, are not slot numbers. Like, slot index = 0. Always. Slot numbers = Slot Numbers. Something like that. I don't really understand it myself since I never could find a good tutorial that explains gui's and custom slots.

Quote from Chocohead

It did before

No, I meant in my development testing. Not in the actual release form. Development = bad, Release = bad too. I'll solve this later when I get the time to.

Quote from CastielAngelow

Im little bit scared about things which happen before and also, theres still problem with my tries to work exploding of Silver Nether Ore...
I know I have O.S. Nether Ores, which had it, but, it isnt very useful, because Im not able to 100% understand how it exactly work.
Problem isnt anything then "Chance"

EDIT:

What happen with my textures for newer version? Will be implemented? ( Models )

I tried doing it before, and it didn't really work out so well... just look at what I did before. Just change out what I stupidly out in, and change it to how you like it. We can however, look at it, copy it and modify it to how we need it. You didn't finish the Electric Engine's textures, so I never put them in. Sorry. I'll put them in later though, when they get done. And, I made some textures for another time. Just check in the models folder. You'll see a folder with a special name. I don't wanna ruin it. So you shouldn't either. Calenders are so useful when you copy them from Minecraft's original code. (Little hint for those who know what I'm talking about.)
