It is because of the key that changes hud location, "H" by default.
So whenever you write any word with H it changes its location.
You can change its key in-game in controls menu.

Yeah, that is very annoying. I thought I put in enough checks to stop that from happening, but it doesn't seem to listen to me. I might actually remove that key - it was only for debugging anyway. Also on the "to fix" list: make the text not extend off the right hand side of the screen when using an HD texture pack (Soartex, in my case) - again, I'm also quite miffed by that particular bug.

For an immediate solution, I bound it to something very far away that never gets pressed during gameplay (insert, I think).

There is a weird error when you use mc edit to move/clone shields/generators/projectors all of them turn into resin and sapling, it doesn't matter whether they're connected or not to each other or activated or not

That's probably something to do with 4096 block IDs. Does MCEdit handle other blocks above 4096?

Quote from alex_hawks

If the Atomic Stryker Advanced are empty, because they have more slots.

I've done a direct conversion from Advanced Machines which were full of transformers, overclockers and storage upgrades. No obvious problems showed up (well, the upgrades vanished, but that's to be expected).

Quote from GregoriusT

It was still there while i quoted, and it has not shown your edit in the "this Post has been edited 1 time by RichardG". I guess it doesnt show your edits. But now it's fixed.

Yes they can since, moment... i think 1.97 or the Version before that.

(checks changelog)

Well holy crap. Now I don't need my Frame-based oil tanker any more - I can just use Railcraft liquid carts, liquid loaders and a pair of teleporters.

On a somewhat related note - if you (the IC2 team) release an update to fix this bug (#103 ghosts), would it be possible to stick some of the old, hacky quantum suit boots code back in - in particular, the part that stops you from getting knockback whenever you land. 1.97 stopped me from doing any quantum parkour (by far the easiest method of navigating a jungle) in SMP because of this.

MagusUnion: Teleportpipes? Seriously? Enderchests, IC²-Teleporters or Magtubes are the Way to go!

IC2 teleporters can move stuff that's not a player or mob?

Quote from stm91

I still can't figure out why NEI isn't working for me.. (i have the newest chicken core and tried forge 164 to 171) ..also, for some odd reason my viewing distance is kind of stuck on tiny.. or rather only chunks really close to me get loaded.. i have to fly all around the area to see things like they were on "far"

...does anyone know were to find a perfectly clean 1.2.5 server and client jar? i guess i should just start over

Client? Delete your .minecraft directory, run the launcher to get a fresh 1.3.2, then use MCNostalgia on it: http://www.minecraftforum.net/…a-212-now-works-with-132/

Server? Can't remember. I know that you can snag older server .jars from the minecraft.net website, but I forget how.

EDIT: here you go http://assets.minecraft.net/1_2_5/minecraft_server.jar (source: http://www.mojang.com/2012/03/minecraft-1-2-5-prerelease/).

I'm tired of painting CF foam and every few seconds having to put more paint on my brush, can you make paint packs just like CF packs?

This thing might be what you're looking for: [Addon v1.97]The Quantum Addon, Updated with Paint Sprayers! (now open-source)

Quote from darthmichael7

Can you plant nether warts if you have them? Because supposedly crossing them with wheat is the best chance to get hops...

I am also trying to get coffee beans to make coffee, but no luck there either. They seem to be very elusive.

Yeah, you can just plant nether wart on IC2 crops - that's how my crops came about. Far easier than attempting to crossbreed it.

Quote from neosatan

Sorry for dusting out this thread, but got some thought about it. Maybe I will code such thing for IC2, don't know...
But.
Advanced HUD sounds nice, but in reality there are mods that do most of that stuff. I rather would see a 3 tiered fetures (nano, quantum, graviton(something to that armor [Addon v1.97] Gravitation Suite v1.2 ! [SSP/SMP])).

Night vision, cause pontions are passe.... For nano, quantum, and gratitation helmets. Consume 1 EU per sek.
Waypoints - this is more tricky. There should be a craftable item (like redstone torch) that we put, named it (like sign), and on quantum, and gravitation helmets would show on. No power consumption. Still, this is supreme nice since I have natural ability to get lost even in my own base...
Map is something nice, but a minecraft maner map. So it would only show terrain where we went. Not a radar like thing. Also for nano, quantum, and gravitation helmets.
I like to see a ore detector (actually I would see something like x-ray, but for a range of 4-5 blocks, ores would be just highlighted not shown via textures). 1000 UE/sek or more.
Something another nice I would be an enemy detector. In vision would outline enemies on red, and when enemy is not on our screen then would just show something ike we see in battlefield when they shoot in us. This would also cost some EU.

Extended wather breathing would be also nice for quantum, and graviton helmets.

Main problem with quantum suit is that people don't really need it. It is just a way to utilize all that UUM comming from mass fabricators. I personally play with lappack, metoer boots (from thaumcraft), and apiarists helmet, and leggins from forestry (cause bees are awesome). I discover gravitation suite yeasterday, and think that that idea is awesome. And a good opportunity to make some room in chests, cause it costs a lot. (I think that I done second time quantum armor). Nano suit I used when IC2 was really new to me (and had only RP2, and BC installed at that time), cause I didn't know what to do with all that coal. But I wasn't impressed by nano suite, since it don't do a lot. Quantum armor was more for me. Leggins especially, cause it give that wonderfull speed. But helmet, boots, armor was pretty the same as nano.

I think that if quantum suite would give more content with it it would be more appriciated. But not OP content, like most of EE items does. I think that some features would be really nice. for example. If you have full suite on, then when in lava it could protect from lava for a short duration depending on energy left in whole suite. (max 10 sek on full batteries), the same with nano, but for much lesser time (for 4 sek max).

I would like to see quantum/gravitation suite give similiar abillities as nano suite from Crysis (especially from second cause it could be customized). That is another idea. Quantum/Gravitation suite could have a GUI to place upgrades similiar to thouse from MFFS. better jumps, seed, bonus to dmg, invisibility (freaking awesome on SMP), players tracking (that would be rather impossible in MC (without massive codding), as entities don't leave a trace, they are only are vetored in position), visions from AvP (similiar, newest batmat), and so on. To be honest it's all about making proper cost of features, and having ideas for more of them.

Now is why I wrote this post. I wanted to write a little mod that would give on HUD info about how much energy I have in tools (wih lappack), and armor how much energy it has, arrows left in inventory and so on. Little things. And I checked on this forum to see if there is such mod, cause I was watching this forum for a time now. And there is such mod, and for me is just not enought, and suggestion to make items do such things is greate.

PS. EU, MJ, Vis, and RP2 reader integrated in helmets is just awesome. Similiar to ThaumCraft googles of revealing. Have to see if IC2, and BC API provide such info/feature.

Quantum armour already protects you from lava. Wear a full set and you can swim in it for a very long time (it nullifies all damage). It's also good for working with bees, since it cures all poison and again stops you from taking any damage.

Also, the quantum suit is superior to the nanosuit in every way. The helmet lets you breathe underwater, feeds you and offers better damage protection. The boots are not the same as the nanosuit, since they eliminate fall damage and let you jump extremely high (more so than Thaumcraft's boots, I dare say). The chestplate doesn't have any special abilities beyond the nanosuit, but blocks out all damage.

My normal attire is quantum helmet, trousers and boots along with a lappack (though the lappack gets switched out for the chestplate while in the Nether or End). If I still had my Efficiency V/Fortune III diamond drill from IC2 v1.43, I'd never take the chestplate off.

You know its illegal to post military secrets on the Web?^^

btt: This would source be nice, but, as already mentioned, that is too overpowerd.
A balanced possibilty would be, that you could upgrade the Laser with some High-End Item (like Iridium-Plates) to a (only) mircowave-laser.

Illegal for which country? If Kuudere was Russian (for instance), Putin wouldn't give a rat's arse if he started publishing US military secrets.

Quote from baturinsky

Scatter mode can destroy RF too, btw. Each of rays can take one block, so whole barrage can make a huge whole in two-layer.
Laser can't do anything with obsidian, though.

Damn. Obsidian floors are easy enough to make, but making the spectator window's going to be impossible if they destroy reinforced glass as well. I suppose I'll just have to ban long-range and scatter modes from the arena (along with nukes).

Quote from baturinsky

I use Long Range mode on Laser, it removes two blocks at once. Removing just one block is trickier. Are there other good ways to do it?

Mining lasers remove reinforced stone?

Crap. That's going to make the Thunderdome a lot harder to build.

There's this mod: [Addon v1.95/1.97 SSP/SMP] Nukes from Uranium Cells which allows one to craft nukes from uranium cells instead of ingots (giving you a reason to make a breeder reactor). It would be a pretty simple task to tweak the recipe allowing you to make nukes from re-enriched isotope cells instead.

Quote from FilipT

Well, since the Mining laser's extreme heat can be used to melt blocks, why can't we use it to kill mobs efficiently? There should be a mode that affects only organic-based things, such as NPCs, Plants, leaves and stuff, but won't damage blocks like stone and glass.

How would that work? It's pretty well known that to cook a steak, you need to hit it with enough heat to operate a blast furnace. Minecraft animals are pretty durable.

Quote from Gaxx

hmmm i'll see into that. i didn't notice this problem since nobody complained when i posted the pictures of my mining vessel.

I can see the images just fine and so can several others in the thread (otherwise there wouldn't be any comments on it). Methinks that RealEyesRealLies has something odd going on with his computer, router, ISP or all three.

Back on topic, it's quite neat to see all the little quirks and workarounds that you need to do in order to make the reactor move and function. It's the little things that matter.

Quote from heathmanms

I, myself, would honestly like to see connected forcefields, A way to link forcefields together via id cards. At the current time I've only seen a max of 64x64 cube, which is well.. only 1/3 of my castle, so I would like to connect 3 together. I mean think about it, if you can use something to connect forcefields together to be seamless, like say a card made at a specific link station or something, and you can link stations together as well using the same method.

Basically, if you had a 128 x 128, you would require 8 area projectors, 1 Link Center, 7 link stations, 7 link cards (All based from main link station), 8 Power Gens, 8 Blank MFFS Cards (for power gen -> area projector), 8 EU Injectors. Doing it this route, the link station would be a projector upgrade so that it connects the projectors, if the projector senses it's forcefield will be created in the boundary of another, it doesn't create the boundary. So the inside of these 8 would be hollow and only the shell would appear.

Just use several projectors in deflector mode. Then you can make it whatever shape you need.

Quote from RichardG

So I noticed Forge currently has 11 unanswered pull requests, including one by Player which would fix that issue. The bad news is it can't be accepted because Forge is frozen until 1.3.

Right, that's me definitely sticking with IC2 v1.95.

Quote from Ook

Deployers do a right-click action. Water cells can be filled with a right-click action.
The only caveat about an automatic deployer system is that for some screwy reason it'll shut down the infinite spring it's in front of once in a great while. (it's sorta rare, hard to nail down exactly why)

Hmm. I couldn't get a deployer to fill water cells for me on the server I play on. Looks like I'll need to try a bit harder this time...

Quote from Aethir

Joke? Nay, I say! What would you find more useful - a dozen snowmen, or a dozen friendly skeletons?
I know what I'd rather take exploring...

In the amount of waiting it would take for the lightning to strike the right spot and make just one skeleton, I could have a fully automatic production line (Redpower deployers, yay) churn out a thousand snowy minions. At least. Hell, I could even set up a UU matter-iron automatic production system and assemble iron golems.

Quote from FusedIon

Just Right Click it and "Copy Image URL" or "Open Image In New Tab"

I don't see anything there to right-click - there's only white space which doesn't have any kind of image-related entries in the right-click menu.
