So what do you think about FyberOptics 1.2.5 to 1.7.10 witchcraft?

Evil thoughts of an Hqm pack using mods that we use today, just the versions from back then, for all the people that came in at 1.4.7 and later (myself included). Aslong as nobody spoiled the secret it could be quite hilarious

Is Dartcraft really that old? Wow...

Since 1.5 IIRC

Looks good. Also excited Aether 2 is back and now compatible with everything and significantly less buggy.

I was actually really surprised when I add the Aether 2 to my mod instance and it worked. It was even compatible with tinkers construct and nei (except when you add potion effect to yourself it really messes up when you do that.

It was unbalanced as Dartcraft was when it started, but man was it fun.

Please, that bloody beautiful condenser... I still have dreams about it.

 

[RavynousHunter]

Now, if we could get PowerCraft to 1.7.10, all would be well in the modding world.

 

[Lordlundar]

Wasn't EE2 extremely unbalanced?

It was perfectly balanced as a mod in of itself. It just wasn't balanced at the same level as some other mods.

I actually do missed DartCraft a lot.

So do I. Especially the super OP time torches. It would be awesome if someone remade just that part (the clipboard has already been ported to 1.7) but incorporated some form of cost, like requiring diamond dust to burn or something similar.

If you're only looking for time torches, give Torcherino a try then.

Ideally I want a less OP version, instead of basically free tick rate increase. I would love a time based mod that allowed Prince of Persia mechanics that had a tick rate increase item that had a cost.

What about using DRM against malicious mods? If MaliciousMod installs a trojan, I think NotMaliciousMod should be allowed to deactivate and uninstall MaliciousMod. Or would that make you ban NotMaliciousMod from your packs?

What if random mod dev decides to have a fit and deactivate and uninstall mod. Or add a trojan.
Heck a DRM like that might actually qualify as a trojan.

Once something is installed on anthers computer you lose the right to tamper with it.

That old version callback will also mess with projects like FyberOptics work to let old versions of mode work with new versions of MC.
Also anyone who can add a virus into a mod can remove the DRM very easily.

For those of you with nostalgia keep an eye on FiberOpics work.

He's making a compatibility mod to allow 1.2.5 mods to work on 1.7 and beyond.
Strait use no changing of the mods at all.

... will this let mods work on a dedicated server? (i.e.: mod on the server, and all the clients).

What blasts from the past would I want to resurrect ... (1.2.5 mystcraft with easy books and lots of black decay

It probably will. But it's still in early dev state. I don't think he has even considered testing it in multyplayer yet.
But I imagine that might be part of his goals.
Keep in mine those mods will have all the bugs they had in the 1.2.5 days. And I don't imagine many mods devs are going to be willing to bug fix. But who knows. 1.2.5 could be the new 1.8.

Chromaticraft has tile accelerators, they don't cost anything to run but are hella annoying to make.

 

[Yusunoha]

Instead of updating to 1.8 or staying on 1.7, everybody will port their mods to 1.2.5

1.2.5 will always have a special place in my heart

 

[keybounce]

Hey, my world seed was "New 1.2.3 world"

 

[Eruantien]

TC2 hype hype

What's next? 1.4.7 to 1.7?

 

[Democretes]

I would love 1.8 to 1.7 so I would never need to touch that crap.

I'm pretty sure this is the mindset of literally every modder right now.

Nah. Some are trying to embrace 1.8. Crazies.
