Go look.
Either you're advertising the mod or you aren't. If you ARE, then it's not up to me to find the information; that's like if Direwolf20's mod reviews were a link to the FTB wiki. Insulting, useless, and stupid. If you aren't, then why are you getting so aggressive about my not caring much about the mod?
1. It predates Rei's Minimap.
2. I am not your research department. When you're wrong, it's not my responsibility to walk you down a garden path. I do not care if you use Powercraft in the slightest. You are not worth that degree of intellectual and emotional investment to me.
This isn't a matter of who came first; the point is that there was no description of what the waypoints are, other than something about portal guns and free items. I can easily forgive Whizzball1 for his grammar, but you're just being offensive.
And as for your intellectual investment, I think that you should keep as much of it for yourself as you can; you need all you can get.
Comparing the two is like saying that Xycraft Quartz ripped off mystcraft. It's that ridiculous.
Except that there is no quartz in Mystcraft?
By crystals I assumed you meant the worldgen. If they are an ore, then in fact there is Xycraft and Thaumcraft crystals to worry about.
Also, I didn't mean that the ideas were stolen; I meant that they were not original or adding anything new to the pack.
Except that it is quite a bit like the autocrafting table.
Except that once again you don't have any arguments to prove your theory. In fact, fabricators bear many differences to the autocrafter; they chain pipelessly, have internal inventories, interact with NEI, etc, etc, etc.
Interesting coincidence. It's
almost like we're using terms from mods that FTB uses in hopes that that will draw a recognizable parallel. It's also
almost like this is a convenience and service to you, rather than a literal representation of origin of the ideas. Particularly since
Powercraft predates nearly every mod you've mentioned.
This is the FTB forum. If you don't want to hear about the mods from it, then you are severely lost, my friend. And once again, I don't object to Powercraft's age, I object to its theoretical unoriginality (I can't verify this because there are so few reliable sources of information about the mod, but I sincerely doubt that all of the features were released at once; and that a mod this old can be sooutclassed by newer mods such as TC3 or TE doesn't act in its favour either).
Again, incorrect. The
validity of my argument is independent from how well it convinces you. You
are wrong about most of what you said. In a cute bit of irony, by saying, "You are wrong because you are mean and terse" it is you who have first committed Ad Hominem. This is delicious and I thank you for feeding my social conundrum dark passenger.
Unfortunately, I couldn't expand more because your single-word answers gave me very little to work with. Saying "wrong" doesn't leave much to discussion.
It is not my mod. There are tons of videos on the
Powercraft Wiki for various features I do know about. For the ones that do not have videos, most of them are new enough that I haven't played with them yet. Holograms, for example. Nor do I feel particularly excited about textually tapdancing for someone's weird mod-protection agenda.
I never said it was your mod. And I never asked you to write me a wiki either. Don't make assumptions, please.
I do not care what you think or how you feel about the subject. I am only finishing this conversation simply as a matter of perfunctory politeness; a vestigial remnant of my catholic upbringing.
I'm not sure where religion comes into this all, so I will ignore that last statement (I'm a Christian myself, if that interests you at all for some reason of your own). But saying that you don't care what I think after spending about 5 minutes (judging, here, by the quality of your responses) trying to persuade me that a mod is amazing just makes you a hypocrite. If you don't care what I think, don't answer; I'm not trying to make you hate this mod, I'm, as Slay_Mithos said, just asking for information about the mod so that I can form my own opinion about it. Unfortunately for someone who DOES care, your aggressive and insulting demeanor has driven me to believing that it's not worth my time.
