Forge and Nova

[ratchet freak]

But why was he so mad? I have to play devil's advocate here and assume he had a reason and its not just because he is a tyrant.

The core reason seems to be #1 it is targeted to forge for MC1.7 rather than MC1.8 and #2 that it forces java 8 on the user, he tries very hard to only use the version that mojang forces

all the other rants from him seems to be venting about incompetents changing things they have no idea about and blowing things out of proportion.

Oh I see, sounds like he doesnt like the idea being floated around about mods staying in 1.7 and not being a slave to the Mojang cycle of updates. Which seems to me the very best option for the end user because I know I am not the only one sick to death of having to toss out a version as soon as it becomes stable to a new bug-ridden version. Sounds to me like Lex hasnt actually played the game in a long long time and instead gets his kicks making updates. Which eventually there would be no need for if mods stay in 1.7. And then he wouldnt be so important anymore.

It doesn't help that Forge is pretty much a one-man show, nowadays. We need to get the old crew back in on this, so they can smack some sense into this whole thing.

FlowerChild quit in November 2011, Eloraam quit Forge dev in April 2012 and Minecraft in 2013 or 2014 depending on who you ask, and SpaceToad disappears regularly. Have fun.

Eeh, it was more wishful thinking than anything remotely realistic. I'm just leery of one-man shows. Tends to turn good projects into rubbish.

Depends on who the man is. Azanor, for example. A creative person with a singular vision can easily outdo a team of "coders" who want to flex their skills.

*glances* I mean, BuildCraft was toally led by a team over the past year!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: We need to unite and break away from Mojang's sloppy code and updates

Nothing interesting has been added to vanilla since horses.

Asie, Reika, you guys and some others are the exceptions. You guys are cool. Aside from getting a bit irate at times, you're generally reasonable and approachable. The important difference is that you guys don't let it go to your heads. Humility is the foundation of the Eight Virtues for a reason.

Every individual can make mistakes and have wrong perceptions though. In a group these problems are more easily mitigated.

Bingo. Its kinda like the Borg, only without the whole hivemind thing.

This made me laugh more than I should have

You take ideas, suggestions, and feedback from others.
You may not agree, and you may say "no", but you consider these ideas.

Side note: I thought you were some random person; I did a double-take when I saw your name on the quote and then could not find the cartoon character with the evil grin.

I would not complain if mods stayed in 1.7...I have better things to do than update.

 

[Reika]

At least I'm staying.

I will only move if large numbers of users want it, and most other mods do as well.

 

[Celestialphoenix]

For those who choose to stay- I wholly support you in this. At the end of the day its your mod; so its ultimately your choice.

Personally I'm quite excited for what you could build with a stable code base and the extra time available.

Nothing interesting has been added to vanilla including horses.
(the last time a vanilla update peaked my interest and didn't disappoint we got another 128 blocks of building height)

XD I can't be Greed all the time. Sometimes, you just gotta be a god.

 

[Reika]

My mods and your mods... That's at least 27 mods not moving... Also, I think COFH said they weren't planning to update in a while.

Major mods like BC, Forestry, TC, AE, and so on would need to agree, because it is they who drive the community via player interest. If only developers like me stay, we will just fall out of interest.
