oh... i just dont have an idea of what modjam actually is... :)

just take your time if you really feel like it ;)


Modjam is an event where multiple modders take part in, you get 48 hours to write a mod from scratch and at the end a jury looks what's the best, and when you win DW20 spotlights your mod and you can play 1 day on the FC server (that last one I'm not sure about.)[DOUBLEPOST=1373908891][/DOUBLEPOST]Damn, you beat me pokefenn :p

"Ok, made the move to MC 1.6.2 and have my Dev Environment 3.0 all figured out. Look for a video in the next day or so :)" Pahimar

Everyone should go thank pahimar!

class Yay{

public static void main(String [] args){

System.out.println("Thanks Papayamar!")

}
}

Papayamar, seriously?

That or however you spell it (Its a joke from direwolfs SMP series)

On another note:
I have redone the mod in 1.5.2, ready for pahimars tutorial!

Awesome, can't wait until I can play with it! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Dont get your hopes up of it being soon, it may take a month or 2, but no matter what i will try to get it out about halfway through the summer holidays!
Also, the mod will not be to of some peoples tastes, i personally am a MASSIVE fan of liquids/fluids, i hoard and store liquids as much as possible, thats why i decided that i wanted vine sap instead of energy (also i feel its more "universal" )

You should make a vine sap 'reactor' or 'generator' to make it into MJ, EU or UE power, just to be convenient.

Completely, already planned.
I want to make a viable early game starting off thing with strong mod compatibility.
If people want to turn all their vinesap into eu, mj or volts im not going to stop them, i will allow it though.
Any ideas for "ore duplication" even if its only 1.5 i just want to be able to provide some form (niche and special though)

Maybe crush it, mix it with a special sap, and put it into a reconstitution machine, after which you put it in a furnace then that gives you 230% or so as it needs more than just crush and cook, like almost all duplication methods do -_-

Interesting idea.

And dgdas, i kinda need to add it, but i dont understand how to implement it in some ways, soaryn and chickensbones xycraft multiblock is incredible and i woudnt be able to beat and i also doubt i could make anything as good as Covert's irontanks.
If you have a good idea for a tank, i will hear it.
I prefer not to add redundant things.

Vine tanks!

This has given me an AWESOME idea, thank you dave!

Here it is: Vine sap may be transported from machine to machine, by two methods:

1) The machines can share between each other, just by contact or:

2)HOLLOW VINES!

Hollow vines are a specially bred type of vine, and tehy can transport vine juice, and only vine juice, although far better than any other liquid pipe. This leads on to another idea:

1) Put the hollow vines in a crafting table. This will yield four vine walls.
2) Put 6 vine walls, along with a special grafting tool, and some string, in a crafting table(shapeless recipe). This will yield a vine tank block. This tank block can be placed in world, and any TBs connected to it will further enlarge the tank capacity, in a similar way to an LESU storage unit from GregTech.

The Hollow Vines will work faster if placed in direct sunlight, and the tank will gradually add 1 millibucket of sap every minute, when placed in direct sunlight, for every block there is in the tank (this may be too OP, I'll leave that to your judgement, whether to change or get rid of it, it is your mod after all :p).

EDIT: This will be better or more useful in certain situations because of its sheer expansion power, and the fact that it can be any shape.[DOUBLEPOST=1373987622][/DOUBLEPOST]With the sharing vine sap by contact thing, it could have two things more I forgot to add:

1) You could use in/outputs like machines in TE.
2) You could say it is done by osmosis, a common process in nature involving the movement of liquids, often across a membrane.

That gave me an Idea.

LIGHT TUBES!

Simple.Light tubes can transport light. If a place is, imagine, at light level 10 and you put a light tube there, the light tube, when conected, will emit level, let's say, 8 around it, and, in the end of the tube, light level 9! If it's sunlight, it can emit light considered by the vines as "sun light". Unfortunatly, I believe this would be very hard to do.

Also, about tanks. I believe a good one would be a "machine" that could store liquid. It needs power/vine juice. It has a GUI that shows you the precise ammount it has ATM, how l many liquid it's currently receiving and how many it's sending away!

How about an iridescent vine? It would' when first planted, make not very much light. Then, after a little while, maybe a minute or so, it would make torch-level light. Then, a small bit later, it would make glowstone-level light. Eventually it would make better than glowstone.

BUT here is the coolest feature: The vine grows along any surface, when given bonemeal, and the vines it makes go through the same process. HELL YEAH!

I think you would make such light tubes by combining hollow vines with glass, 2 HVs around a piece of glass, either up and down or side-by-side.

Just so everyone knows, i am currently learning how to use Github.
https://github.com/Pokefenn/Vineacraft
Expect a thing with the mod eventually!
Also i have the licence thing there also, its open gpu if anyone wants to know, so anyone can edit/redistribute it!

If it becomes popular, you should make it semi-open source. As in anyone can edit it, but not distribute that or the original mod.

(I'm sure it will be popular, looks awesome! :D)

If you go on that github page you can see that the mod is currently up there.
Im just looking into how to connect the mod with the actual mod (ive just copied and pasted)
Please no one correct the code, or send anything in yet, the mod isnt updated or anything ;D

Also j485, if that time comes, will look through the good and bad parts.
I want to make a mod that is universal that anyone can do what they want with it.
