1.6 goning to be released 12:00 pt time

[MegaRaja54321]

Atleast that is what I read not exactly sure but anyway time to watch the forgecraft 2 for 1.6 and wait like a month after the update. Don't quote me on this but apperntly there is a new way to store textures something called "resource packs".
They changed it because of the new mod update basicly it will be easier for modding ( still don't quote me on this) and after 1.7 there should hopefully not be having long delays
Last thing what do you think about this next update?

Rumors be rumors, doubt it will be released. Even if it is released it doesn't really change much for the mod pack.

Eh, don't need a mount... although I do like the hay bales.

This doesn't make a real difference to making modding easier or harder. This update has one big impact on modders:

Jar mods are dead.

 

[SteveTech]

Jar mods are dead.

Why?

 

[Bellaabzug21]

Why?

I have no idea why, but do you know what that means? Flowerchild is screwed. Karma.

 

[SteveTech]

Allow me to rephrase:

Why? / How?
What makes jar mods dead now?

 

[MegaRaja54321]

Good to here that it won't be a big change but just read mojang.com and it says 1.6 is going to release on July 1 think what you want of it

 

[Eyamaz]

The new launcher is basically plugin based now. Forge is even being rewritten as this. And no, fc is not screwed. It's just a different setup now.

There should be no mod that requires you place it directly into the jar anymore. If they do, then they are doing it wrong.

 

[fergcraft]

wow that sounds somewhat more easier to do modded minecraft. Does this change how the mods actually work with the game or just the basic process for loading the mod data.

 

[Eyamaz]

Just the basic process I believe. Well, as far as forge mods go anyway. Something like BTW may be a different story.

I haven't downloaded the prerelease of MCP to look at the code changes yet. I'm waiting for the new forge. Then, who knows, I may even start working on the mods I've wanted to code for awhile now. Probably not though, I still feel lazy.

So how long do you think it is going to take ftb to update to 1.6

So how long do you think it is going to take ftb to update to 1.6

it depends on how long it takes to get the mods updated

 

[MegaRaja54321]

Ya but estimate like how long it takes to code or whatever

If I recall correctly, MC 1.3 had a similar situation to MC 1.5 where massive changes were implemented so some mod authors skipped MC 1.3 in favor of developing for MC 1.4. You should get a rough comparison of the time from analyzing how long it took to go from 1.3 to 1.4.

That can't be estimated. It depends on the amount of things that change, the real life situation of the modder, whether a lot of things break, etc.
That changes from mod to mod.

if you realy want to know go ask the moders how long it'll take them to up date

 

[Eyamaz]

First mcp needs to finish. Then forge. Then mods.

Resource packs are not a huge change. The biggest change is going to be forge.

I say about two weeks, maybe less, before we see any updates for 1.6.1. The new srg system is going to make things a lot quicker.

... if everything is going plug in based...
and in the jar is a part of the past.

Is it now theoretically possible to make a plug in that would tweek BTW to make it forge compatable?

Picture it, BTW, Minefantasy, TFC. Then some other plug ins to make them actually work together, with an endgame that lets you eventually break out of the ancient days and into the tech.

Don't call it Karma, people might try to act cool and unique and say Flowerchild is a freedom fighter or something.

i am going to be refreshing the minecraft and ftb forums when its released. I bet there is going to be an unintentional ddos.
