Looks like my goal of making a drum full of UU before everything explodes won't come true.
 
user43095
Unless I have more boilers....

62 hours until explosions
 
4:35 AM
The DW20 pack just updated. And no changelog, hrmph
 
5:12 AM
@TimPost Changelog
Highlights: Added MPS, updated EnderIO to include the Ender Rail
 
 
3 hours later…
8:14 AM
@Arperum https://github.com/Chicken-Bones/Translocators/blob/master/src/codechicken/translocator/CraftingGridKeyHandler.java
That is rather hardcoded yeah...
a rather... extreme way of fixing it, short of recompiling and hoping nothing explodes, would be hidmacros. That should let you capture C being pressed and replace it with some other key, and the same for that other key. Chat might be an issue though
 
@Jochem It does have an option in the keybinding screen though, under the gameplay section (that line of code is actually the one that made me find the blasted option in the list.
 
ah ok
hm, I suppose that does make sense considering it extends a class called KeyBinding
also, perhaps to make it more frustrating, the crafting grid isn't working for a bunch of people according to his issue tracker
 
@Jochem Do you have to have something in your inventory? Does it need some specific underground?
 
@Arperum it needs a regular block, and to be targeted at the top face. afaik there's no requirement for items in your inventory
 
@Jochem In that case it isn't working for me either... Or it is completely invisible on gras/sand.
 
8:25 AM
@Arperum that's... annoying
 
Yea, it breaks my game and doesn't work...
 
8:45 AM
@Arperum maybe it's in the config options?
 
9 hours ago, by Arperum
and no, changing it in the settings doesn't work.
 
@Arperum yes, I meant the configuration files
But I hadn't read all of chat
 
@KevinvanderVelden No option in the config files. The only option is in options.txt, and that one doesn't work.
 
Bleh =[
Well, it shouldn't be that hard to change with a bytecode editor
 
Exactly. And I hate it when my inventory is somewhere unusual as "e" or some other such nonsense.
@KevinvanderVelden But I can't find anything in the code that points out that it has to be "c", it looks like a regular keybinding with an option to change it and all.
 
8:55 AM
What button do you want the crafting thing on anyway?
Cause I should be able to edit that without problem
 
I basically want E and C to be switched around, there are three other things that are default bound to "C". I can bind these to whatever I want though, so if you could swap it out for "E" instead of "C".
I should be able to do so myself too, but then again, lazy and loads of stuff to do.
 
9:09 AM
I've used a bytecode editor to change the constant being passed so it should be KC_E instead of KC_C
 
Too many mods using too many keybindings and not doing it properly ...
 
Yeah, hint: If people need to fire up bytecode editors to change a keybinding you're doing it WRONG
 
9:39 AM
It's not just that. IIRC Railcraft has a bunch of keybindings which are always active - even when you're not actually inside a train. And so they often block stuff bound to it in other mods.
For example, why would I want the "change locomotive mode" key (default: "M") to be active all the time and thus block a key most likely associated with bringing up a map?
 
we just need bigger keyboards
 
10:19 AM
It gets even more ridiculous when you realise Railcraft wastes another key ("N") and blocks everyone else from using it in any context for the ability to whistle.
I tried out the new 1.7.10 DW20 pack, BTW. And I lack iron, of all things. On the other hand, I could make a quite big pool of molten nickel if I so desired, and there's like zero uses for it aside of making invar. And I could line that pool with gold blocks.
 
@Jochem just get a keyboard with all the hiragana characters on it
 
Working on making a configuration so I can use the TiC smeltery for all the TE and EnderIO alloys now.
... and I'll probably add some more ores (Metallurgy or something) to that pack for my private pleasure.
 
 
1 hour later…
11:45 AM
@KevinvanderVelden I'll try it tonight.
 
@Arperum you might need to clear your configs if it doesn't work
It may have stored it somewhere, I think I just changed the default
 
@KevinvanderVelden As far as I know, the option in the options menu is toggled to "E" too, so that shouldn't hurt.
 
 
2 hours later…
2:11 PM
Nope nope nope
 
wtf?
 
That is a hungry spider, it eats stuff (items I believe) and grows bigger
Except there's a (since fixed) bug: There's no growth limit
 
ah, so that ran into a big stack of items and turned into that goliath?
 
Jeah probably
 
2:52 PM
That gets me an idea for a "mystical" mob (or maybe pet?). Don't grow (much) when eating items, but gain abilities. Like, eat some lava - gain the ability to breathe fire and become immune to it. Eat a pickaxe - gain the ability to break most blocks. And so on.
 
the ability gaining part is kinda like that genetics mod in Monster. You had to collect DNA samples of various mobs and then inject yourself with it to gain their abilities
 
3:14 PM
Yeah, but the player getting more powerful is overdone by now.
 
3:39 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I think I'll refrain from bitching so much the next time I get Bane Of Anthropods :)
 
4:05 PM
Had a dream last night where Spock was yelling at Kirk for loading too many chunks. I blame Direwolf, and Sunday, in that order.
 
But but but, #blamesoaryn!
 
@KevinvanderVelden I left several iron chests with random useless things scattered outside my initial temporary base as a quiet tribute to blame.
 
Seems fair
 
Additionally, if it weren't for morph, I don't think anyone early game in this pack would survive the nether. Good gawd it's so evil it's awesome.
 
Fun times
If you need me, I'll be tunneling down into the nether for quartz and leaving it ASAP
 
4:10 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Kill one of those baby fire spiders and morph. You can just climb straight up cliffs and mine and not mind fire at all :)
 
@TimPost nether bats are also fun for that
Ghasts too but ghasts are harder to kill
 
The spider has more hearts, since morph became more balanced I've been using the more heartier mobs
(I much prefer being a wasp to a bat in the overworld)
@KevinvanderVelden return to sender :)
 
@TimPost yeah, tricky with lag
 
4:41 PM
I am really looking forward to playing this pack on the server. Two days of playing single player, I already have a decent AE system, more power than I can possibly use, a great start on a nice 3x3 chunk-aligned sky base where I can play with all the mods I want to explore and gear that's sufficient for me to explore without worrying too much.
For dungeon pack, I'm going to scale back the probability of generation quite a bit to keep things balanced. You will find dungeons where you can get awesome loot, you just won't find them as often. This should let you get a decent enderlilly farm going early enough, but really reduce the probability of 'jackpot' quarries and such.
 
4:55 PM
Oh cool. If you're a mob that can fly, and you morph into another mob that can fly, you keep flying :)
 
Are you copying @badp's thing?
 
No
I'm making a majora's mask joke
If I didn't have a class during the festivities, I'd show up with either a Skull Kid or Fierce Deity Link skin. But, I do have class during the festivities.
 
Like, "72 hours until everything explodes", there's an obvious majora's mask reference to be made there!
DAMMIT
WHAT IS THIS CRAP
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PING HIM WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU @KevinvanderVelden
 
5:10 PM
SUCCESS!
Thank you @badp for once again upholding my fate in MODABUSE
 
EVERYTHING IS RUINED AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT
THIS IS THE WORST DAY
 
Anyway, it is going home time for me, cya!
 
 
 
1 hour later…
6:17 PM
wut?
 
I'm just not asking questions anymore
 
6:30 PM
@TimPost Try the Madpack (it's on the ATLauncher, I think) sometime.
I made the mistake of trying it on Halloween ... but I doubt it's much easier on other days.
 
 
1 hour later…
7:51 PM
Hmmm solar panels, my system made 40 UH solars since last night
 
8:18 PM
You're a madman
I'm not sure if anybody has ever told you this
I saw @JeffreyLin with like, one UH solar, and I was like "whoa what" - and then I flew to the top of your tower >_>
 
8:35 PM
@KevinvanderVelden IT WORKS! TAKE THAT CHICKEN_BONES!
 
@Unionhawk yeah, I build a machine that takes power to produce things that create enormous amounts of power. Exponential growth is a go!
 
I saw that.
It's...
It's a thing.
 
It is, I gave myself the challenge to make it as self sustaining as possible with as few replicators as possible
The only thing it needs is obsidian, cause that can't be replicated
 
Why not us-- oh right no TE
or infinite lava
 
user43095
9:03 PM
@Jochem like the ability to milk yourself!
 
user43095
@KevinvanderVelden couldn't you replicate the UH Solars themselves?
 
No, it requires obsidian
And that's boring
 
You're boring
OOO
BURN
 
9:43 PM
started HC world in Dire pack, I think I ran into a hungry node ~20 blocks from spawn. or something invisible that sucked me in and did damage anyway.
it also had a starting hole around it and threw me pretty high into the sky all of a sudden.
I also think closing the whole game might be a bit overkill when quitting a hardcore world... you'd think just exiting to main menu would be enough.
 
user43095
10:05 PM
Also more wither skele skulls are required.
 
10:24 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Depends on the mod setup. TE can create obsidian out of thin air (and lots of power).
 
Yeah, we don't have TE, so we don't have any options for obsidian replication
 
In all other cases, the question boils down to "Can I create lava?" and "Can I automate mining that?"
 
user43095
11:03 PM
@ExtraUtilities: Why no thickened etheric glass?
 
user43095
11:19 PM
Seems like the scanner can't scan nether stars.
 
user43095
11:51 PM
Every snow golem I make dies.
 
They die in hot biomes, that's probably your problem
7
Q: Is there any way of making a snow golem survive in hot biomes?

JefffreySnow golems won't survive in the Nether (neither spawned in nor built ones). Is there a way to make a snow golem survive in the Nether and other hot biomes in vanilla Minecraft (i.e., without using mods)?

 
user43095
:(
 
user43095
I wanted infinite snowballs.
 
user43095

user43095
11:56 PM
Now with a killall lever that's easier to reach!
