How evil of you to force people through RFTools or Deep Dark dimensions!!! I like it :-)

Ok... That sounds pretty serious :-) I also have never been drunk before but I do drink an occasional glass of wine or so. I just never let it go out of hand.

I feel that all of you are still depressed from the gloomy pictures yesterday. So here are colors to cheer you up. Works well doesn't it? Right? No? Summary: I added support for colored stained glass and colored clay. Wasn't as easy as I had hoped though.

Sounds complicated yes. Anyway I have a question. When adding multiple celestial bodies to RFTools, should I make them as blocky as the default Minecraft sun and moon or try to find better textures?

I'm just starting to work on celestial bodies and I can basically add anything I want. So yes, I'm going to see if I can find nice things to add here. One of the things I'm dreaming about is to make an RFTools dimension representing space. Where you orbit around the earth or another planet, no...

At the moment it is a single image but I can use different images too. There are lots of possibilities. Including different skyboxes with several transparent layers where they rotate independently from each other (that's how one can do celestial bodies for example, which is on my todo).

OpenGL is OpenGL. Doesn't matter that it is done in Minecraft. An animated skybox using OpenGL should not be that impacting on performance provided the OpenGL isn't excessive.

One other reason that I like it that there are many mods doing essentially the same is that I don't have to do the same thing every time that I start a new world. Once I did ore doubling with TE. Then I did it with Mekanism. I also use RotaryCraft. I have done ore doubling with Tinkers Construct...

I'm hoping to find a way to actually generate it dynamically using OpenGL so that it even animates but I haven't found an algorithm for that yet. For now it is just a 128x128 skybox texture.

I really like the gloominess of this dimension. The red flowers don't help to cheer it up at all :-)

You are reading my mind or what? :-)

Ok, who wouldn't want to live here? Really?

Hmm, that would be interesting. Problem is that I think this is tied to the biome and I can't just modify biomes because then they would turn out with that color in other dimensions (overworld) too. But I'll check it out to see if I can find a way.

Playing with sky and fog colors: red sky and green fog!

Ok, I ended up with 'island' (which is what is already in the current version), 'islands' (multiple and infinite smaller islands), 'chaotic', and 'plateaus'. The last one is demonstrated here:

VSync on perhaps? Note that that is not a bad thing really. But usually VSync locks at 60 FPS which is the screen refresh rate.

Ooh, that familiar feeling... I imagine bugs as little creeps that hide when you try to look for them and reappear when nobody expects it.

Yes, they are all above voids because this is actually the 'end' generator that I'm (ab)using here. It might be possible to add a floor and ocean on top of that floor below a certain level. I will consider that.

Ok, this is too nice not to use as well:

I didn't specifically think about an RF based minimap yet but I did think about various mapping related functionality. For example, I would like to make a machine that allows you to display a map on screen for the location around a matter receiver that you dialed too. Could be used to inspect a...
