Any editor or news on mcedit?

[zandru]

I love this modpack so much, but I'm a creative minecrafter, heavily depending on mcedit for large structures and it currently doesn't work with FTB blocks.

I'm making an alien world at the moment, that I will share eventually.
I would love to have a possibility to for example duplicate this frigate a few times, to build a nice fleet with it, but I can't.



Does anyone have any knowledge about an editor that works with FTB?

Even a chunk copier would be perfect.
Or a block replacer would work too. Since I could for example skulpt somthing from sand and then replace all sand to tin afterwards.

There's a tool called mIDas Gold which can replace blocks of one ID with blocks of another. It works with modded blocks too.

Yay thanks so much GreenWolf13, you made my day

I would love to see MC Edit updated to work with mod blocks again. It was great to be able to port over parts of maps to new worlds.

 

[zandru]

Me too Spinx2k, but for now I can at least continue with the project.

For example with the frigate:

- I change all FTB blocks in the frigate to sand, stone etc with he tool
- change and duplicate everything I want in mcedit
- change the block id's back.

It's for sure not the easiest way of doing things, but it beats being totally stuck without options

Yeh i don't know any phyton (Think MC edit is written in it) or have the time to work me into it. But as far as i know it is open source for some time so my hope stays that someday someone makes a mod compatible fork of it.

That is an awesome looking ship![DOUBLEPOST=1359647069][/DOUBLEPOST]The little ship looks like it's at an angle to the larger one. It that just a perspective thing or do you have an additional mod?

If you download the the latest unstable pre release of mc edit , it will work with ftb , i added all the new worldgen into my world with mc edit after converting from beta-a to direwolf20 pack

Thank you

The little ship is a lot closer to the camera yes, it's a fighter.
The frigate holds 6 of them. And quite a few soldiers and groundtroops, 3 officers and 1 power officer. Will release the frigate soon as a teaser of things to come =)[DOUBLEPOST=1359716954][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh seriously? Downloading right now =)

Still not working unfortunately.
Getting the same error as before when trying to copy paste the frigate. Hopefully they'll fix it soon

 

[zandru]

It's just the frigate though, I managed to copy paste other parts of the world hmmmm
Could very well be I used just 1 awkward block in it that mcedit cant handle yet.

Have you tried using buildcraft in game to do it? It has a max size of 64x64x64, but you can copy it in chunks. Just use the architect table to make a blueprint of it, then give the blueprint and the materials to the builder and it will build a copy.

I used it to move my base from one mystcraft age to another. It had to be done in two parts, because it was too large for the landmark area, but it was a lot easier than rebuilding it by hand.

 

[zandru]

Oh wow, I didn't know that was possible. Still quite new to FTB and figuring things out.

Thx a lot for that Toraxa

is that block's id over 4096 by any chance?

 

[zandru]

Probably yes, the interior has all kinds of computers and other decoration stuff.
I'll check for those.

I think that feature just adds a flag to the chunks to tell them to regenerate. It doesn't touch the mods, but rather forge reads that flag and regenerates every included mod. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

the new mcedit just marks them as a future block and leaves the id alone and then when put back into the game it still has them, thats what happened for me anyway:-D

After trying to get it to work for hours I just found out that the builder is disabled in the current version from buildcraft, so this test of patience continues I guess

what are the block(s) that mcedit are messing up and what exact modpack do you use from the ftb launcher

 

[zandru]

Too many too tell quickly. I used 100s of different blocks from probably all modpacks
