    With regards to this particular subject and Gregtech making changes to recipes in red power. I will make sure Elo see's the message that Greg wants a response from her. However there was nothing sinister here. I was already on the forums, I have an account and was logged in. I know that Greg knows that anything that I say has come from Eloraam and I am not just making up messages. This is not a legal thing and its not meant to be a threat or anything. Right now Greg is technically doing nothing wrong. In fact the message was intentionally worded to not be threatening. It was just meant to be a request to not have an option which would allow for a partial rebalance to part of Red Power 2.

    And I'm keeping it like that. I wont use (or even see/decompile) any Redpower-Code or RP-Invocation at all. It will also not be in my Dev-Environment, unless she decides to release an API.

    I did use her code without modifying or distributing it. Apparently, that's a legal grey area, or at least nobody actually knows whether it's legal or not (although many people have strong opinions both ways).
    Also, that argument was mostly about reverse engineering the code in order to use it, not actually using it. Hypothetically, if I'd found some obscure documentation on RedPower's blutricity API and used that instead of reverse engineering it, that argument wouldn'tve happened.

    So your old Blutricityconverter used Code of Redpower? Noob. :D


    I know 2 Ways of making one without even touching her Code. The PM to her contained that Information, so lets see, what she thinks about that.

    Let's see. If GT modifies a recipe, then:
    Nobody downloads RP from a link that isn't on eloraam.com
    Greg is not redistributing RP in any form, modified or otherwise.
    No decompilation or reverse engineering is taking place.

    Exactly.

    Modifying recipes, in some ways, is similar to the interaction between RP and TubeStuff. TubeStuff uses RP items in certain recipes, and it does so by reading RP's config file without touching RP itself. GT would be looking through the (shared) recipe list for any recipes involving a block breaker, then deleting them and adding its own. The only potentially-infringing part is gathering the IDs, which as I said can be done by reading the config file.

    I don't even need to read her Configs for that. My Addon is capable of detecting almost everything ingame. Look at the GregTech.log File, to see what it prints out for your Modsetup. I know its failing at some Stuff of Redpower ("null" Entries), but I have other Ways to detect that.

    She plans on doing it, her tech tree just isn't at the level yet where she will add it. So yeah, I agree.

    Well, my Tech Tree is large enough for said change. :)


    To the funny Worst-Case-Scenario I have seen in the Pages:


    Even if all Threads, where I could/would publish my Stuff (IC-Forum, MC-Forum etc.) would be taken down, the Download-Links, would still be valid, but I would probably focussing on working on my own Game, which could be a very serious concurrent to Minecraft, but it's no Minecraft-Clone in any Way, it will be fairly diffrent. And no, I won't talk about it's content until I get it up and running, as its in Pre-Alpha-Stage.

    If the addon changes RedPower recipes without Eloraam's permission, this thread will be locked. End of subject.

    Are you deaf!?! (or blind since one has to read Posts and not to hear Posts)

    I just PMed Eloraam on MCF, to ask for advanced Compatibility.

    Do you really think I would ask Eloraam, and when she says No, I would do it anyways!?! Then I could also not ask her, would have the same Effect.
    If I request a personal Answer from someone, then I respect the Answer.


    I asked her, because I want to add some things, which are directly releated to Redpower, in the future.


    Also I did never add usable XyCraft-Compatiblity, because Soaryn asked me not to do that. The only one who thinks, I would do such stupid thing like ignoring that request of him, is you, RichardG. You should seriously keep it with Facts, and not with irrational rumors and random opinions.


    And there are several Mods out there, which can change any Recipe, what the User specifies, and these are Okay for everyone. But as soon, as someone adds a little bit Logic to that, by offering some predefined Recipes, it's wrong!?! What's the Logic behind that? Please tell me exactly, what is being wrong with that, I seriously want to know it.


    It's not like I'm trying to do damage, I always try to improve the things, to fix broken stuff, and to balance the Mods, to make Minecraft more exiting in the long run. That's the goal of this Addon.


    You have lost the last piece of believability, I have seen in you. I thought you could at least formulate polite sentences, and inform yourself before doing anything serious, but this is just disappointing.


    ---PseudoEdit---


    I spend a lot of time writing that. Also I'm on the MCF as well, just not very responsive, so Eloraam can tell it to me herself and doesnt need a troll delivering Messages. And since I asked her, I just have to wait for her PERSONAL answer and not RichardGs useless opinion.

    Greg, I'm about to update my world to 1.4.6, are there any specific IDs that I should change in my config, and will I lose any items?


    EDIT: Yes, yes I will, my workshop now consists of an MFSU, a floating water block, 2 floating lava blocks, and a bunch of wiring and LV Transformers. Thank god for world back-ups.

    You wont loose anything unless you mess up the Config. Copy-Paste into the new Config-Folder should work perfectly.

    Can you explain me why I ignore the new folder???????? I'm embarrassed


    Thanks!

    Can YOU explain me why you Ignore the Orange Text above the Download?


    I just PMed Eloraam on MCF, to ask for advanced Compatibility, lets hope she answers from there at some time.


    The P.S contained a small Oredict-Bugreport with her Recipes.
    Btw. Did you know, that one could add a Blutricity-Converter, without touching Eloraams Code at all? Well, I mentioned it in the second P.P.S.


    @AirCells: they dont work anymore.

    One limitation on managers : they can't remote pull like retrievers : means that your quantum chest is now very useful.

    Then put a Manager on the QuantumChest and you are good to go. Autocrafting + Redstone will be fixed next time.
    The GUI-Button you are referring to is for setting Energyflow and Itemflow (automatic Item output to adjacent Inventories).


    A bit awkward, that it doesnt work with the Manager, as its supposed to work with that Device in particular. ^^'


    And MrRainbow, I appreciate that you told me that, but someone else found it before you. (Hint: It was myself :P )

    XyCraft was a special case, because he thought you did it when you did not, although had you actually done it, then I think the complaint would have been entirely legitimate.

    Not even then, as he published the Items in particular at the OreDictionary, with a valid Naming (no special prefix or so), which basically says, that other Modauthors are free to use said Items, as that's the purpose of the OreDictionary.

    Dont worry, Nitrogen will get a bit more complex next time. Compressing Air -> Turbines is also very Fun, but you only get 200EU per Cell, so it's worse than a Watermill with 500EU (and since its made of 2 Windmills its even more expensive), I will maybe use Air as an amplifier for Gas Turbines and Diesel Generators.

    One has to be on Earth, to even be affected by the Apocalypse. And my Ship is currently above Minecraftia and not the Earth.


    And the Apocalypse itself wasn't very exiting. The Weather was normal. New IC2 is constantly crashing on startup, because of the Forces of Forge. Evil Eloraams try, to shut down the Internet with Redpower, has been foiled by a slight mistake in the Minecraft Version Number of it. And I'm continuing to take over the Universe as usual.


    In the end the Mayans were right, as they never predicted the End of the World, neither did Nostradamus (even if he did, then its somewhen in the 40th Century, so very far away from now).

    I know you're probably going to say "Not my problem, it's Plugins for Forestry", but I thought you might know something since Liquid Roundup's function to to catalog all the registered liquids.

    mistaqurs NEI-Plugin-Pack has that too, you just have to enable Debug-Mode in the general NEI-Config.



    And in Case of Frames and Blockbreakers: Blockbreakers will get a Config (default will be OFF) to be more expensive and maybe also Frame Motors (still a Config with Default OFF).
