I'd love to, only he didn't do an SMP version and I'm just darn tired of playing with myself all the time.

Telling us not to us is a cop out. AS has taken Zip's idea, cut the nuts off it and totally warped it. All that was needed was a port to 1.71 for those of us who run servers/play SMP, not this attempt to "rebalance" or "align" the mod to a system that isn't even balanced itself (upgrades).

But really, AS should change the name of his to AtomicStryker's Advanced Machines or Alternate Advanced Machines or something that differs it from zip's mod. AS in this has shown a major lack of respect. To zip, to the mod and largely to the community that uses that mod. Worse still, he's now claiming ownership of the mod and concept (see OP that states "i did not claim Ownership originally" note the past tense used). This isn't his idea, it wasn't his mod. And this whole "If you don't like it, STFU" mindset does nothing but hamper collective feedback. I posted a bunch of data before showing that in previous versions, these machines were borderline better than the base machines. I'd test 3.6 but why bother? AS has made it clear he wants to go his way and to hell with anyone else who might have a different opinion. All AS has done is take someone else's idea, alter it, claim it as his own and tell anyone who doesn't like it to shove it.

As such, an op on my server is going to try to write up an SMP version of the "vanilla Advanced Machines" (for lack of a better term). I can't give a timeframe, as he's pratically learning Minecraft and the Forge and IC2 API's from scratch, but he's willing to give it a go. If anyone else feels they can do this same thing as well, I would urge them to do so. We will naturally give full credit to zip and his concept and keep to the machines that he gave us that we want back.

Look, if you don't like the changes just don't reply or anything. Either accept the changes or go somewhere else.

Railcraft have the old API. Remove the old ic2 folder from railcraft

Sync bug.

Pwnedgod will you fix it? If you can Thanks!

Lacks of SMP knowledge = no.

I've found the best solution is to use 3.4 and just run them with no upgrades, they are pretty much what the original machines were at.

That said, I feel that the best option would be to offer a simple port and then balance, change or develop them further under a different mod name. Regarding your comments about the IC2 devs wanting to phase out AM, cpw, to be fair this is an optional mod, optional being the key term here. AM isn't part of IC2 core nor would I think it should be, but what it does offer is CHOICE. Choice is key in this. The whole concept of modding comes down to a choice. Consider a moment if Mojang were to change Minecraft as to phase out or render mods no longer a viable option. You, and a large part of the community, no doubt would feel this an arbitrary and oppressive move and rightly so.

Advanced machines offers a second tier to processing, one I feel that is better balanced and implemented than the horrible release of upgrades. I put my voice with the others here, again, that Advanced Machines as planned by zip was never meant to include upgrades in its scope. I'm not sure at your resistance to just release a no thrills port, Atomic, but it does feel that you're forcing your interpretation of the mod onto the community that uses it. It's a bit like trying to market Windows ME/Vista to nerds, it's not what they want and they won't have a bar of it. In this case, why develop a mod that the target group rejects and does not like?

Pwnedgod, I did try your mod out for SMP but as stated by someone else before, the gui doesn't work correctly. Tested this on a clean server setup from scratch (no pre existing config or item issues).

Worst comes to worst, one of the players on my server does some game coding and has knowledge of Java, not going to promise anything but if push comes to shove I'll throw this his way and see if he can come up with a working port for 1.71, no upgrades, no changes, no thrills.

I don't even fix the SMP.

Smartass -_- and wow i wasn't aware it didn't have sound. PwnGod is awesome

You didn't explain much on your last post. That's why he's replied to you like that.

Quote from silentdeth

Depending on how quickly IC2 and BC update, the 1.2 update may take longer than usual, due to RL stuff.

MC 1.2 got some generation bugs.

Easy. One MV-Transformer(converts HV to MV) and LV-Transformer(converts MV to LV)

Quote from Solymr

I did try the port from pwnedgod, however it does have the gui issues I believe? If I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat my words there. But this isn't really "Advanced Machines", this is pretty much it's half-brother Bort.

What GUI issues?

Quote from halvors

It's definitly a gui id conflict, Silentdeth: Miss here? Client and server is generating different gui ids...

On client the gui id's is:

Code

guiIdIndustrialElectricEngine=94
guiIdLargeElectricEngine=93
guiIdMediumElectricEngine=92
guiIdOilMaterializer=95
guiIdPetrochemicalGenerator=90
guiIdSmallElectricEngine=91

And on server they are:

Code

guiIdIndustrialElectricEngine=104
guiIdLargeElectricEngine=103
guiIdMediumElectricEngine=102
guiIdOilMaterializer=105
guiIdPetrochemicalGenerator=100
guiIdSmallElectricEngine=101

Well match them up!

I don't know how bukkit works but it seems to be good for mojang as mojang's server code is bugged/unoptimized. Forge will be also included if we force Jeb

Quote from gunnrunner

kinda too noisy..

to be honest its not like i dont like the noises coming from my workshop but to have it constantly going for 3+ hours while doing some cosmetic work on my base is getting quite aggrivating.

so if possible can there be a way to not have to hear the adv machines with out me turning down my speakers/mc's volume or maybe only have them produce sound when in actual operation and not when a rs signal is applied?

just a thought...

Just go to the config and disable the sounds...

Updated for sound

Quote from Solymr

Weird bug, place rot/ macerator on isolated fibre cable run, put in two transformer upgrades, plug into MFSU and it blows up. Have three others running on the run with no problems, each with two transformer upgrades.

EDIT: Tried with 4 transformer upgrades, still explodes. Issue with advanced machines using transformer upgrades?

Currently an issue.

Before you guys actually report the bugs. SMP Updates are not perfect and may cause a client sided graphical effect

And for you guys using useDefaultTextures = false and got funky textures

AS forgot to include the sprites folder.

Quote from Snoochy

wouldn't the sound get kind of annoying if it was at 100% and just pumping through stuff and only playing a 1/2 second bit of sound?

As long as the IFs have sounds. It should be ok. They just need to clean up a little bit with their sound API.

Quote from xenoflot

On the same subject, I'd like to see the sides and top of each machine, rather than just the front face, indicate which machine is which. Also, it would be nice to have the top faces change to indicate the machine is active. At the moment, only the Macerator does this (and it's front doesn't!).

Err no. The block_machine.png is pretty much is everything you need. the first 6 from the top are the in-active textures while the others are the active ones.

so it like this

D
T
F
B
L
R
AD
AT
AF
AB
AL
AR

Post the textures here. On the Texture Additions section.

It's weird that IF(induction Furnace) don't have sound but it's non advanced part does. I did see a Induction Furnace sound folder and it's sounds. Why not use it?

Can you make also the Induction Furnace to accept upgrades?

EDIT: I've made some more fixes from you. You still forgot to make the machine explode when they receive too many EU.
Also made some more config options.


Included!
