Difficult to say. I'm not familiar with all the stuff that is supposed to be replacing RP2.
Lets take an example.
I have a system where I throw some stuff into an Enderpouch, set my Wireless Remote (WRCBE will be Redpower-independent in the next version, so no problem there) to one of three frequencies: "Furnace", "Macerate" and "Recycle", and I might want to add more functions. When I hit the remote's button, the contents of the Enderchest get pulled out and routed to the relevant machines - I have two furnaces and two macerators that the stacks are distributed between, and one recycler. The results are pulled out and back into another Enderchest of the same colour, so I just see the processed results start reappear in my pouch within about 15 seconds. I can macerate cobblestone into sand and then furnace the sand to get glass, or I can furnace cobblestone to get smooth stone. Those are the two most common uses, but I've macerated coal and bonemeal, furnaced wood, and a few other things. An optional feature, which I have, is to restrict the processing to only pull the items that match whatever is in Slot 1 of the Enderchest, so if I have sand and glass mixed in together because both are being processed in parallel then I can ensure that only the sand gets furnaced. That's a really hard feature to implement and so I won't insist on it.
What mod or combination of mods can replace RedPower for that? I know of two very different ways of doing it with RedPower. I'm not sure if the Slot 1 filtering is possible with one of the methods, but it might be.
Snip.
What is so dammed difficult about following this example, precisely: "I'm too busy with my full time job to continue working on Redpower 2 and, I need help from the community. Would anyone like to help me port Redpower 2?"
I'm not about to go on some tirade harassing the poor girl as I've already seen done on the Minecraft forums.
One nice thing is that the other mod makers have decided not to wait for Elo to produce another version. Take a look at the mod Immibis just released. Also, ChickenBones is creating his own API so he can put out a version of Wireless Redstone without RP.

I will continue to voice my complains until the issue is addressed or, squashed entirely. Such is the nature of forums, Facebook pages, or any place where one is allowed to voice complaints publicly. That's how change happens in the first place.
Pretty sure most people would view this as harassment.
With the mod API coming 'soon' - you can use outdated mods with the current version of the game. So once it's converted to 1.6 - it's all downhill from there. Assuming they did as they said they were going to, and write 1.6 with the mod api in mind.And nope unless it hits this weekend no Redpower 1.5.x anything version. Redpower 1.6.x version....only time will tell but I am guessing if she misses the 1.6.x versions when 1.7.x comes out other mods will do redpowers role much much better.
For the record, I'm not saying you shouldn't voice your opinion. I'm just saying take the emotion you have for RP2 out of the equation. It really seems to have blinded many people about the fact that it is her right and choice to do what she wishes with her mod.
Just out of curiosity, what would you do if FTB just stopped making their packs? What if DW20 stopped making youtube videos? Would you sit here and beg them to continue? No, the community will move on and find a replacement. The bottom line I'm trying to make is, the past and present will fuel the future. Something will evolve from this situation just be patient.
Maybe she doesn't want to? It his her right, to choose who does and does not use her code/textures etc.
She has clearly stated that she intends to update RP2, so your theoretical situation doesn't even apply here.
NOTHING gives you the right to criticize someone. You can voice your opinion, and we know it. Discussion over.Then its our right to continually criticize her
Did you pay her? No. Then she doesn't have ANY obligation to anyone. If you used it and "spent a bunch of time on your world using her mod" - that's YOUR problem, not hers. She did it as a favor.People invest massive amounts of time and sometimes even money into this, she has an obligation to the community to provide proper and timely updates.
Did she post anywhere that she'll continue supporting her mod until the day she dies? No, then stuff it.People have a right to be angry as they watch their time and effort be wiped away for no logical reason.
How is that her problem? It seems to be YOUR problemIf FTB stopped making the packs, I could still play the server.
If DW20 stopped making videos, I can change the channel.
Neither of those involve destroying a world people have put months of work into.

Grow up.
Your world will still be there. You just won't be able to play with the new toys.
And from what I hear it won't matter. 1.6 xycraft will kill old worlds anyway. :/
Fair enough; then quit whining about it. We get it.Criticism - the act of passing judgment as to the merits of anything.
OMG! Someone disagrees with me, so I'll call them a fanboi! Well, here's clue: I'm not even using Red Power. I found replacements. I went "dang, I liked red power. Oh well." If you look through various posts, you'll even find several of my posts - one of which says "anyone seen a decent replacement for tubes - I liked pneumatic tubes".I would give you a well thought out post, but your comment is riddled with biased zealous fanboism. So there is really no point.
No, she's not the one here whining. If she was here whining about how someone is whining about her project, then I'd tell her to grow up.So instead, I'll ask you why don't you tell her to grow up instead?
Who's being held back, except some dumbass that keeps whining on these boards? Most of us have found replacement mods; there's even a post somewhere in this thread (I believe it was) where someone said 'here's all the mods I used to replace everything in Redpower."Holding back a community, potentially causing many server restarts, etc because she won't enlist help or release the project? How is that acting like an adult? Answer that, or at the very least wipe the brown off your nose.
Please do.And that is totally a solution. Just stop updating. Might as well go back to playing vanilla 1.0
