[1.6.4] ToDo Mod - A todo list for Minecraft in-game

[Shirkit]

Hello everyone,

Motivation:
When I first started playing FTB, I noticed that sometimes can be a bit tricky to stay on target and focus on what you're doing. Very often I miss my goals and go off head doing something else, not related to my first task. After reading this post (http://forum.feed-th...e-2#post-298475) by lindyhopfan, I decided that I would try to make this mod.

Usage:
The usage at this point should be straight forward, except for one part:
- In the sub-task list, you can navigate to the Sub-task by clicking with the Middle Mouse Button.

Preview:
You can check out some screenshots here to see how the mod works.

I'll have to keep this in mind when I go onto 1.6

 

[Shirkit]

I could try to port to 1.5 to get more feedback. I think it should be possible.

 

[Flipz]

I'll definitely be testing this in the future.

 

[Shirkit]

I've updated to use 1.6.4 and fixed all the bugs I found. Also, now it saves when you close the Minecraft.

I'm looking for some feedback, if anyone have some please share it. I have a few ideas, but wanted to see if anyone has some other ideas.

Seeing where your mod's gui position is, would it interfere with NEI's GUI when it is in creative mode?

Is there any way you could add a function to pre-populate the list, from a config file or something? I could see this being used for challenges to give task list.

Yes, it doesn't work when NEI is in Cheat Mode (it overlaps), and I couldn't find a nice way to solve this. This is why the thing that breaks with it is not only the Cheat Mode, but also when you enable Items in Utility Mode. I can solve for Cheat mode (disable my mod when NEI is in Cheat Mode), but wouldn't be able to solve in Utility with Items.

But I plan to solve this later on. I'm thinking in alternatives:
- place a button to go into the task list (then disable the left area of NEI)
- or hide my stuff when "Items" in Utility or Cheat mode is enabled.

Is there any way you could add a function to pre-populate the list, from a config file or something? I could see this being used for challenges to give task list.

Yes, totally. Currently it's already possible to do this, the current task list is saved in the minecraft/saves/todomod folder. It's a plain XML file, and I don't plan to change that.

What I'm thinking is some way to share the tasks with other people, or create a nice task list to FTB players in general, things to do like:
- Setup a base
- Grind Stone (Applied Energistics)
- Get a basic energy production (EU/MJ to double ores)
etc
etc

Maybe setting up a few different tasks lists, so different players styles can use different tasks lists.

But this is one of the things I've thought from the start up.


Thanks both for the nice feedback! I really appreciate it!

I'm very excited to give this a try as I'm forever sitting down with just an hour to play and getting lost in my sub-tasks

Questions: is this mod for single player only or can it be used on a server as well? If it is server compatible, is the mod client-side only or does the server need to have the mod installed as well?

Thank you for the mod and for your time answering my questions.

It can be used in both Single and Multi player.

It's client side only, no need to install on the server.

I'm waiting for further feedback to start implementing the future changes =]
