The best you can do is to watch these

http://www.pahimar.com/tutorials/lets-mod/
https://www.youtube.com/user/nealegaming/videos

I follow these and I have learned so much from them. You can also look at open source mods to see how they do different things.

Thanks I will watch them right away strangth that I missed Pahimars videos as I watch other things from him.

Thanks alot again and have a great day.

Vswe's courses are probably the best thing out there right now. It is for 1.6.4, but 95% of the info is still relevant. The only notable thing he does which doesn't apply to 1.7.10 is Block/Item ids.

Make sure you know what you are doing before you actually make the mod, maybe by talking to some of the big developers. There are way too many mods out there, with lots of popular ones, being crappily written and it the last thing we need is another. I'm not going to be one of those jerks who thinks new modders should be stopped and that only big mods should be made, but just make sure you don't screw up someon'es game or balance or FPS.

Hi
I actualy looked for something simulure mods before I started to draw up my plan for the mod and I can't find anything close to it at this moment. And I talked with some of my friends and they can't say they know anything like it either.

I know there is alot of mods out there that does almost the same thing and it seems like people are focus on just a few areas of the game at the moment.

One thing I can tell you is that you should set a goal for yourself: "I want to make a legit mod that people would actually use" and not just an ExampleMod that adds one item and one block. Because then you'll actually have motivation to improve your code, do some research on how Forge and other mods work etc.

Make it RF compatible. That seems to attract people these days -.-

So essentially "fuck baby steps!! start by doing running jumps across gorges and parcor in mine riddled city ruins!".
But setting goals is smart I guess, but your fist goal should be baby steps, for anything.

It dont have to be RF compatible.... I dont see Thaumcraft, Blood magic and Botania RF compatible.

Learning how to use it's API would be beneficial though just for the experience that working with an others API can bring you don't need to actually aim to make a RF compatible project.

Tip: If you don't know what a hashmap is or does you are not knowledgable to mod yet. If are ready, Look at others code and some tutorials.

Botania actually just made a Mana->RF conversion thingy. So there ya go

Yes thats correct... but the best way (as I belive) is to look in other peoples code for mods you want to try to remake. Right now Im trying to remake the old autocraftingtable from BC because they destroyed it completely.[DOUBLEPOST=1409695311][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh nice One more reason for Botania

I wonder, do you get more energy out of the Thermalily eating Lava and converting it to RF than jut putting the Lava into Magmatics?

Don't quite know. I HOPE that she researched it, but I... am skeptical.

I'm going to guess you were trying to make a funny here gid... I hope you were, but please, let's not let the RF debate creep into every gad damned thread.

But yes, I was joking.
