Actually I think this is a great idea. Based upon the current lack of information on RP development it gives folks another option that either don't think Elo is coming back and/or are tired of waiting for her to be one of the last to update to the latest release and want to move away from RP in their existing worlds. Keeping the existing worldgen materials in place with something that at least looked like the current materials is a great plan.
Underground biomes. I wish it was in every pack, it's an architects dream.
Yeah I know people love it for building, but the actual net result is that it makes mining so ugly.
Seems counter-productive to its original purpose. It also breaks Forestry (apatite spawn gets even weirder than usual), causes Ars Magica to get confused sometimes, and confuses Biomes o Plenty.Very good idea m8, apart from giving us that believe that elooram is going to update in 6 months an alternative, this also gives a nice perspective to this thread which is a solution, not only insults back and forth. If you make it, ill use it.

Yeah, but that's a temporary state if they get popular. Which I think they have a high chance of doing. The ugly mining point is... your opinion, and for the record, I did hate it at first as well. But I grew so fond of them. I get lost underground less often as the coloured stone is great for telling the different spots apart, also the differently colored exposed rock faces add so much life to minecraft. I always wanted to build a mage tower on top of a marble cliff, didn't you?Yeah I know people love it for building, but the actual net result is that it makes mining so ugly.
And let's not even get into how wonderfully it is to get out of that dreary gray mining life.
No one renders their ores into the blocks, so you go digging through these interesting blocks and then suddenly neutral grey pops up. This is what I meant by ugly mining. The otherwise really cool theme gets broken. There exists no mechanism to do this, either. It's a problem with pretty much no solution save for explicit texture fixing.
I don't regret adding UB to advancingcraft, though. It definitely makes everything pretty even if it does break some stuff.
I agree. I just wish Forge enabled them to do it right. For me, it's almost worse to see it done halfway.
so basically Minecraft is earth if the guys from Red Dwarf actually went back to the planet? no wonder they still a wandering in space!
it would be really funny if they actually represented the earth with blocks and testificates in red dwarf should they ever reach earth
i can imagine cat saying something profound like:
"these people are all a bunch of squares"
Which to be honest would be perfectly fitting for Red Dwarf
Which is a relatively recent mindset that personifies the eye-candy generation. Truly good games usually spend as much or more horsepower on game mechanics as they do on graphics.
People expect to be GPU-bound. CPU-bound games surprise them.
That's a pity, because I think it makes mining a bit more interesting, since not every tunnel looks identical.Yeah I know people love it for building, but the actual net result is that it makes mining so ugly.
your opinion that my opinion means nothing, means nothing.
That's just, like, your opinion and stuff.
[edit]Emoticon added for greater clarity and lulz.
All I would like is a simple update, "Hey! I'm alive! RP2 Is coming!" or "Hey! I'm alive, its been great to develop RP2 but I've decided to discontinue it" or anything else along those lines. I really do not think that is too much to ask for, and it would be ridiculous for someone to think that it is.
I actually happen to agree with this point.
It'd take maybe five minutes to type out a simple message to calm the nerves of the people waiting on this mod. Even if she doesn't know what she plans to do, I think saying that would be better than just letting people wildly speculate about it.
I was going to say that, but that would make me a morbid dick, rather than just the regular kind of dick.
