I actually think that Flower child quit the forge because he didn't like that his mod was compatible with other mods. And because of the techic pack having it included before. He probably left the forge to make his mod completely incompatible so no one can make mod packs with his mod.

Are you serious? That makes absolutelly no sense. If that was true FC would never even had used the forge to begin with.

I for one support his decision. Not that I like that his mod is incompatible with Forge now, obviously I'd prefer to be able to play it with other Forge mods, but there's a big game design difference between better then wolves and the other forge mods. Like you said, and lots of other people said something similar...

The only reasons I like BTW is because of the awesome water/windmills, the buddy block, the hopper, millstone, hibachi, and cauldron.

Well, of course, why would anyone care about the more difficult, challenging part of BTW when playing it together with IC² or Red Power, when these mods have such a higher tech level that makes most BTW aspects obsolete?

Also, FC does this mod for fun. He makes no money from donations or adfly or anything like that, and like he said before, if he's not having any fun making it, there is no reason to continue. I also made this addon only for fun, and if I had to put up with the kind of crap he gets everyday, I might not even had done it. So, in the end, if his choice is stopping the development of BTW (which has become close to be a possibility) or continue it without the Forge, the decision is obvious.

He says he had to do it because "it wasn't fun anymore", but if you lose many of your players by choosing to be incompatible, and then drive away others with a bad attitude, who's left to play?

If you take a look on the BTW forums, you will see there are actually quite a few people that still plays it. By the way, I'm currently playing with BTW on my world, and I plan to keep it for a long time. And if most of the old players stop using BTW, so what? Again, FC did the mod for fun, and then for people who could enjoy the kind of challenge his mod provides. Since he is not getting payed, it really doesn't matter for him if there are 100 players instead of 1000.... At least I'm glad he is still working on the mod at all.

Yeah, this addon is pretty much dead, and it will remain so for as long as BTW is not compatible with forge.

But... The new MC API is currently under development. So, who knows..... Maybe when it is done compatibility will be possible again. I wont give up hope so soon.

Does the current version still work with BTW 3.2?

Yes, it works without any problems.

I can't see properly, cause the tin cable is on the way, but it seems to me you connected the dynamo with the bat-box's output. The side of the bat-box with the circle is the output, all others are inputs. If that's the case you'll have to rotate the bat-box

Update - bug fix.

Thanks for pointing that bug out, Trintus. My shit is officially fixed

My dynamo just does not work. I have a water wheel. It is spinning. An axle comes out of the WW into a gear box. The gear box is smoking (meaning it has power). Another gear comes out of the GB and goes into the dynamo which is also smoking. I have a tin cable coming out of the dynamo and going into the MFE. No power is being generated. My EU meter shows 0 EU/tick on the dynamo, the tin wire, and the MFE. Any idea what's wrong?
I'm using version 1.35 of dynamo, 3.0 of BTW, and 1.23 of IC2.

I'm playing a game now with the same mods as you, plus a bunch of others, and it works fine with me. Did you check all the input/output sides for the dynamo/gearbox/mfe? Can I see a screenshot of your design? Right now I can't think why is should not work.

Here's a video for you!

Damn.. weird bug I'll take a look at that. Bizarre....

Updated to BTW 3.0

Updated to BTW 2.99

Mod updated to work with IC² 1.23

Sorry, I can't help you. You'll probably have to install it manually. Also, check out the versions. I haven't updated the mod to IC² above v1.15 yet

Cool

Hey, I've been meaning to add some videos to show the mod in action. Is it okay if I add this video to the op?

You didn't? Weird... Does that mean they are giving of a bit more power then they should?

Well, if you have 128 EU going into the motor, you have mechanical power on all five sides. if you don't have, then no mechanical power.

By the way..... you actually made that monster machine? Wow... Screenshots, please XD

Recipe update

legomaniack, did you read the OP? The very first sentence, to be exact?

Update - bug fix

Quote from Dariys

Would it be possible to create a lower tier motor which would act like the hand-crank - has to be positioned directly next to the item it powers, and can't power any axles?

Possible, yeah. Am I gonna do it? No :p sorry... I didn't even want to make the motor in the first place, as I don't really see the need for generating mechanical power with electricity, and also for making wind mills and water wheels useless... I only created because I decided using steel and upping the energy usage was enough for balancing issues. So, no, the hand crank stays the way it is.

Quote from MagusUnion

Finally got around with a bug test... works great! Motor's are anal about the current, so you have to set your transformers directly on them (otherwise, the 127 EU current just gets wasted, which irks me a tiny bit)... I also found that the Motor can be quite EU hungry. What's the BTW/EU conversion in that regard?

Btw/Eu conversion? Humm... Im not sure I understand your question, but, looking just at the motor, that value is.... infinite? :p One motor works like a gearbox, and potentially power an infinite amount of mechanical devices, so I thought it would be necessary to make it so... power hungry :p

Also, if you make 64 dynamos and one motor, you can create a device that powers itself to power itself and power itself... Take that, thermodynamics!

No, I'm not... Isn't there a thread on the pending addons section with an addon that does just that?
