"Trying out some more colored variants of blocks. Some hits, some misses. Thoughts?"
Yup, I agree, and I can't think of any time that I will ever need pink bedrock.
I want an unbreakable block with a terrible texture and also IT SHOULD BE PINK!!!! THIS IS 4WS0M3!
Sorta. It has to be the full name of the mod and it has to be @Mod.Modname now.
But you don't have to type it all out, just shift click on the Mod in the Mod drop down list.
If that mod is in the list and if you can get the list to stay there long enough.
What do you mean "stay there long enough"? When you shift click the mod name the "@Mod.Mod Name" bit goes into the chat.
It can be kinda buggy and go away when you don't want it to.
It's already been used by people. iirc, Caclavia did it with UE to automatically create a new dust based off of the color of the ingot/gem added to the game. I did something similar with Technomancy as well to prevent the creation of 50+ textures of different color variants that would all look the same. Instead I created 5 textures that were colored depending on the ore they represented. Texture generation is only so useful though. Just palette swapping textures isn't particularly useful for anything other than a rainbow of blocks that look good as a rainbow of blocks (ie. colored wool).
I haven't actually used things from ExU since 1.5, I think.
Seems nice, but I don't really use biome mods anymore. I prefer things like ATG and BWG (mostly the latter).
He is openly against putting in config options, calling them "ticking bug time bombs".
)Yeah, OSS is wonderful, but it still isn't helping me figure out my stupid base mod class.He is openly against putting in config options, calling them "ticking bug time bombs".
Lets say there is a block that is quite powerful and requires energy to function. There most likely exists people who then complain about the block being too powerful and easy to obtain/craft and doesn't draw near enough power for what it does. There are a couple of options here:
-The author gives them an option to not play with that block anymore. Go ahead and disable that feature.
-The author asks for input on alternative means of crafting said block and considers community feedback, makes the power use configurable, and allows for configurable nature of what the block actually does. We now have options for recipes, power drain, usage, and likely can still disable the block.
-The author posts rants on twitter/reddit about people not being happy with his or her mod.
When the mod that you make boils down to being a shiny, uber-powerful, mod made completely for convenience and making aspects of the game easier it most certainly will appeal to the kind of audience that posts dumb bug reports. This is even more apparent when you have one of the most popular mods out there. I don't want any aspect of a mod I play with to be "ridiculous".
If you don't throw every single feature you can think of in one gigantic mod, stupid inter-feature problems are less likely to pop up.
Also - opensource solves some of these problems. (gotaa get that open-source plug in somewhere
