I actually love the challenge of the channels system. Even the crappy crafting processes are interesting once you find ways to automate it all away. I used a combination of designs I found and my own. I'll post some screenshots of my AE2 stuff later. Your challenge is ambiguous to me. "One...

ISBRHs are only as bad as your underlying infrastructure makes them. E.g. most of my mods depend heavily on multipart rendering of box cross-sections (where said box has some depth in its walls). Pay an up-front cost once, and then rendering more complex objects is trivial. for (int i...

What API? A zillion JSON files? I have a bad feeling about Mojang's "vision" for their API.

Yep, they're assembling an entire floor right now for "third party asset procurement". Thirty staff methodically sifting through through every distribution channel looking for their next DLC pack. Bonus points if they have to route it to another team for decompiling closed sources. It ain't...

Microsoft is a strongly "not invented here" company. The odds of them appropriating other modder's code just isn't high. They have a few historical instances of taking code, like the BSD network stack, but that's always the risk with BSD-style licenses. Even then, the EULA only gives them...

Was there an explanation for what that argument does?

At least if they say nothing a few of them might forget.

I assume Forge can make any miracles happen. We're not getting any from Mojang.

This is kind of what my worst fears would be based on the bits I saw coming in from DinnerBone months ago. Without some major support on the Forge side, I don't see how I'd carry something like Garden Stuff/Modular Flower Pots forward to 1.8.

I avoid Patreon like the plague because of expectations, but to be fair there was sufficient evidence that she was working on updating Redpower. The Microsoft deal was an unexpected event that changed a lot of people's plans. Ideally she would have come to a firm decision sooner.

That said I'm probably being too harsh. Most of your fans probably WILL forgive you and be happy for you to develop your mod again, as-is. People more rooted in development and pack curation are more likely to remain skeptical.

As the person who made that statement (yes, I wrote that), I also provided some advice a few posts back about how you can fix it. But I stand by what I said. IF nothing changes, no one can be sure that the same events won't repeat themselves. If there is some change, then expectations will be...

That seems strange to me. Those files roughly correspond to the .sln and .csproj files of C# solutions, and you'd be angry at any dev that didn't check those in with the code. The .ipr defines which modules compose a full project, and the one or more *.iml define the library and module...

My opinion on what you can do to go forward: 1) Publish your mod as an open source project. 2) Keep the mod closed source but collaborate with a trustworthy team to continue development and distribution. Either of those are acceptable to placate the main fear people are going to have: that you...

If you've done project customization you need the .ipr and .iml. The .iws is all personal stuff that shouldn't be included.

There's nothing in the EULA that compels you to release your source code or surrender your copyright. Whatever you do release is fair game to be distributed or emulated beyond your control.

It isn't Microsoft you need to be protective of. It's something I tried to explain in your deleted thread as well. They could kill Forge and loaders and force all of us underground, but they will not appropriate your hard work into their game. Microsoft is much more accountable for...

I was fairly close to this one. Over the course of two days he went from talking to me about close mod integration and big plans, to committing to near-term bugfixes, to scrubbing himself and his work out of existance. This isn't exactly the first time. He pulled his mod after the Erik EULA...

If it takes them a few years to do anything nasty, I'll consider that a pretty good run. How long did it take Notch to break your trust? I'd consider it naive to believe any company will uphold all of its promises forever. It doesn't matter how big or small or what their history is. One of...
