Ok, all the rumors aside, I'm still alive and kickin! I won't quit anytime soon, but as mentioned various times before, my time is limited lately.

I have a lot of new stuff ready, but still working on the new machine sides and stuff. Due to demand I will repack a working 128x version for 1.2 without all of the new sides.

Oh and Cobster, the resin will be exactly what you suggested!

Texturepack-related I have to say: excellent - are you planning to create more GUIs?
IC²-related - does anybody have a bright idea how wiring works? The tutorial I read on the wiki didn't help me out in the least - it doesn't seem to be targeted to newbies.

Check out Direwolfs tutorials, he is awesome at explaining stuff!!

this is just something that I think will make users who use both mods very happy

Indeed it would!

Quote from McFistyBuns

Neat. I'll have to take a look at it.

I don't know if I would say redundant, but more like orthogonal. His mod has SMP and a block that generates oil. My blocks go both ways and my mod allows you to use industrial diamonds in BuildCraft recipes.

Personally, I think an oil generating block defeats the purpose. Oil is supposed to be a non-renewable resource, which is why it outputs so much energy. With so many renewable ways to generate EUs in IC2, having a way to spontaneously create oil is a little unbalancing in my opinion. But hey, if that's something you are interested in, that's cool. And if people want to use his mod over mine it's no skin off my nose. This was just an exercise in learning how to program in java and try to do something someone else hadn't already done before.

His mod goes both ways as well, he just uses a different block for it. The oil production is a very expensive procedure, a bucket of oil costs about 60k EU. Think matter gen.
While I like the possibility of having IC diamonds in BC recipes, his SMP version sold it for me.

Oh joy!

I got the day off and will do some texturing

And while I'm at it, I'll show you something really nice:

Maybe you've heard about the IC/BC energy converters made by EnergyCrystal, well... I made them Sphax compatible already!
And while I was at it, I made his NetherOres and some of the Minefactory blocks as well.

Here's a little preview of what I've done so far:

Don't worry, those were pretty easy and only took me an hour, the rest of my time is dedicated to IC² stuff now!

I highly recommend checking out EnergyCrystal's mods ! Minefactory is a fav of mine, it works awesome with IC (rubber farm) and BC (milk in tanks? oh yes!)

*edit*

I just realized... some screenshots of these textures in action would be cool. Show off your creations, I'd really like to see what you guys are building!

Just to give you a heads up:
The way textures are pulled has changed for IC² 1.2, which is actually a good thing, because now I can make the machines look more diverse. The downside is... It's 3 times the work now.

I didn't have as much time as I wanted today (blame the dame), but I took a stab at the new sides and I think I'll be done by next week.

I just realized IC was updated and did a quick check... some things have changed and I'll need to adjust and make some new stuff. Time IS an issue for me at the moment, but I'll try to make some time tomorrow evening. If we're in luck there might be an update by tomorrow night.

No promises tho

I just downloaded

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30120548/64px_IC2_Sphax_0.2.7z

And I'm getting some crazy shit white outlines on everything textures really acting up.

EDIT: When I say crazy shit I talk about the white not your wonderful work

Should be fixed now, thank you for the report! If any item shows these white lines, please tell me so I can fix.

Quote from cybnetsurfe3011

it's not working for me, minecraft crashes on load (i'm using 1.7.3, is that a prob?). Old one works though

1.15

[AddOn v1.15] Thermometer...
Is IC2 1.15 working with your 1.7.3 Minecraft?

1.15

Update to 1.15.
And you will notice you'll need MC 1.8...

1.15

Your Minecraft folder -> config folder -> IC2AdvancedSolarPanel.cfg

Renaming a psd file won't work.

Go into Photoshop -> File-> Safe for web -> select png format

I know, he was waiting for a rather stable 128x release by me...

As this is my first attempt at anything texture related, I'm pretty happy with the results. Was a good learning process and I will keep it up to date (and finally finish it!).

Ok, so I think I fixed most (if not all) white borders. If someone finds a out of place pixel, please tell me which items. My PC can't handle more than 64x so testing ingame is a pain in the ass for me.
I forgot to mention that I still have some placeholders in it, since some of the items are more difficult to do and my time is extremely limited lately. But I'll keep at it!

Like I said... I don't really have any time to work on the pack right now, but I'll try and fix stuff if something is out of place.

Oh and if someone could give me some input on the Nano and Quantum armor, that would be awesome.

Quote from HypnotoadProductions

Items (for example the tree tap) have a thin outline from the next item or some white outer line which is kind of weird.

Thanks for letting me know... will fix this right away!

32x version will be coming up next!

updated!

Sorry it took so long, I got involved in a modding project that took some precious time from me.

Quote from zippinus

The IWrenchableBlock error is caused by ModLoaderMP attempting to call my mod before IC2. There's a config file for ModLoader. Make sure IC2 is above my mod in the call order.

my modloader config:

#ModLoader Config
#Fri Oct 14 13:58:56 CEST 2011
mod_zAdditionalPipes=on
mod_IC2=on
mod_IC2_AdvMachine=on
mod_BuildCraftTransport=on
mod_BuildCraftFactory=on
mod_BuildCraftBuilders=on
mod_BuildCraftEnergy=on
loggingLevel=FINER
mod_PortalGun=on
mod_WirelessRedstone=on
mod_MineFactory=on
mod_BuildCraftCore=on
mod_MineFactoryCompat_Grass=on

BUT... this is after the jar install. Dunno if this changes depending on the way I install it, but I can't test it right now... too many ppl on our server to piss off
Will test and report later

Hey Zippinus, I'm also getting the

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ic2/api/IWrenchableBlock

error when installing it in the mods folder. Putting it in the server.jar works just fine.

Quote from Shadowclaimer

I'm not one to stand by the concept of 'if its in another mod we won't do it', Buildcraft is so commonly paired with IC^2 that I can slide on those, but for other mods.. eh.

A matter of taste I guess, I'd rather see new features implemented than something I already get from another mod. The most awesome thing is interacting mods... Something that complement another mod (like the cloning idea) would be cool.
To me it seems like a waste of recourses to code something, that has already been done.

I like the cloning idea, but it would rather fit in MineFactory Reloaded than IC.

Quote from Shadowclaimer

Here's some machine concepts I considered along those lines.
-Electric Plow (Would plow all land within so many tiles when powered)
-Harvesters (Would harvest grain within so many blocks and eject or deposit it in a chest as well as the seeds)
-Sower (Would plant seeds in open ground within so many blocks, would use stash in a chest)
-Butcher (Would kill any animal that runs into it and eject or place the dropped items into a nearby chest)

All of these (and a lot more) ideas are included in MineFactory Reloaded btw

Oh and it's a Forge mod as well... runs perfectly fine on our IC²/BC server!

I love this addon! A balanced recipe, cable requirements and a config file, what more could you ask for?

Will use this on my server for sure! Keep it up!

Quote from Talonius

Here's two files:

IC2 Retexture is a texture pack. If you want to add this to an existing pack, you'll have to copy the ic2 folder within this file and put it into the existing texture pack.

mod_IC2ReTex A quick mod placed into the mods folder that tells IC2 to use the new textures, the source code is in there too.

Awesome! I was wondering if this was possible, thank you!
