Quote from Player

Minecraft with the libraries its using is too big for a beginner to really work with. A good amount of modding is researching the existing implementation to find the most suitable avenue to alter it. FML/Forge certainly doesn't help by using rather niche techniques like reflection and byte code manipulation even for basic tasks, making it difficult to e.g. get an accurate idea of what happens before your code even runs. Besides that the code quality is lacking.

I highly recommend to start with basic standalone software as taught by your average university programming course. Mathematical problems and some basic data shuffling are ideal to learn how to express yourself in code, the development environment, debugging and the most important parts of the standard library.

Scala should be avoided, it's more of a play ground and too easy to misuse.

Agreed. Java is the obstacle, not modding usually. And as for Scala, it is great, but the fancy neatness can be deceiving. You need to know your shit.

TC infusion + shaders... cool effect in the matrix

What the hell?

It is far too buggy. Less buggy than Elo's implementation (of course she did it when It was even harder, so nothing bad about that) but still very hard to get right. Even TFC's multipart planks (not part of multipart duh) which have been around for a while are having z fighting issues.

Love it. One thing: Don't try to do the models of Modular Powersuits. Normal MC armor models may look like shit but that isn't minecraft. Plus it is overly complicated, and I like all of your other ideas.

I must admit this is a great resource pack, I'm almost jealous of his talent :p

It is literally his job, so don't worry

Love it. Btw, if you wanted to see: http://minecraft.curseforge.com/texture-packs/222097-unity

This is what I think your packs could be. An extension of minecraft, one unified experience. Now I sound like Apple

Plem by definition they cant be default They are client side. There is no shouldn't, only it can't.

And btw Voxelmap is probably sort of maybe dead. Its been taken down.

I advise Journeymap or mapwriter or even REIs if it is updated

BTW Nice job reloque. We should add his mod: [GregTech-Addon-Addon] GregArmor

Informative animated picture. Impressive.

That and, at least for me, i'll be posting a Top 10 Disney villain songs latter, but the other songs should get their time in the spotlight.

I believe your referring to Circle of Life

Yes! Thank you!

Hell yeah, no more lack of keybinds:

Mine menu- http://www.minecraftforum.net/…0-3-radial-menu-nuff-said

And I was wondering how hard it would be to add this serverside:
Antique Atlas-
http://www.minecraftforum.net/…1-5-2-forge-antique-atlas

Damn, good question.

1.The Lion King's main song (don't know the name) is my favorite, mostly because I loved that when I was little.
2.Let it go, Frozen. I actually like this song, but probably because of the heavy metal covers that were made for it on youtube
Eh can't remember what really stuck in my mind...

Necro FTW

Quote from KAZZ36

1. It's easy to install, not really required though.
2. Possibly. you must have the same ids as before (Move old config to new or transfer ids to new config)
3. Yes, if you also use Buildcraft you can also run off of Joules (MJ).

I think he meant to merge with IC2, not add to the modlist along with IC2.
(also the BC power conversion is broken atm afaik)

1. I am neither Greg nor Player/Thunderdark but I imagine it would be a nightmare to add to the current experimental build. The mods are massively different, and Greg literally just finished the biggest part of his total rewrite.

2. It would most likely not update the maps unless it implemented some form of retrogen (where world generation spawns after the world is created) which would be god awful, because Gregtech ore generation is monumentally different from IC2's

3.No Gregtech machines run off EU (after version 5.00) except the transformers. Yes it is easy to convert afaik, but not only have I not tried, but I imagine it would be less than fun. Anyway, most IC2 machines are replaced by Gregtech when Gregtech is installed.

Essentially, don't expect it, it would really suck for the developers, your maps would be destroyed, and don't worry about them being cousins. It is what enables choice in the modding community.

Quote from McCoy

While this is an old thread, I too came here looking for answers. Anyway here is yet another way to automate rubber collection.

Thaumcraft 4 golems can chop down rubber trees. Use a lumberjack golem, a "use" golem (to replant the trees) and a gather golem to gather the drops.

Agreed. Maybe you could put this in a guide on a separate thread under Agricultural Engineering. Just something quick and that way you don't get yelled at for a necropost.

Agree with both of you. EE2 (I never played EE, started playing MC in 1.2.5) was one of my favorite mods because I played it in a time when I barely understood how minecart mechanics worked

It made you get rich really fucking quick.

Seriously though, a GT/IC2 merger would be awesome. And would never happen, for various reasons, most of which are Lazyness, Lazyness, Control, Lazyness, Ease of development, Lazyness and The Almighty Dragon Lord.
As for steel, it is a good idea, something that could be used for a second tier of IC2 machines, possbly to expand the mod further. Not sure how exactly to implement it, but it is a good idea.

Although I liked EE2 (and that was mostly because it was in Tekkit back in the good old 1.2.5 days), even Balanced Exchange is a bit too OP for this server. Also, although I love the idea of BE, our modlist is getting full, what was once a small modpack is becoming rather large. Great suggestion though.

Well done, those are very good reviews.

I was talking from the perspective of someone seeing the Bay movies as Bay movies, not someone seeing the Bay movies as the horrible disservice to the originals. I personally never got into any of the older ones, though many of my friends did and do- and the one thing I can say is that most of them love the Bay movies for the same reasons I do.

I think that the Bay movies need to be thought about radically differently than the originals however. Instead of a "continuation" or "reboot" or whatever ill-suited word for them there are, the Bay movies are a playground. A playground for him to blow shit up.

Crash? or my internet?
