Oh right, I had forgotten about that...

Well at any rate, I'll see if I can seriously crack down on it this weekend.

Sorry for worrying you guys, I'll make sure not to neglect the boards like that in the future! :)

Yeah, 1.3 has been absolutely a killjoy for modding, your guesses were quite on the money. I despise 1.3 completely. I do intend to update DT eventually, but at the moment I just can't muster up the motivation. I found myself adopting forge because they ACTUALLY did what mojang SAID They would do r...

I've had conflicting reports about this. FC and Avi told me that wolves look around idly again, but I just set up MCP for 1.3.2, and the wolves still stare blankly into space whenever you're not around, and stare incessantly at you when you are. Now I trust both FC and Avi a great deal, so I'm think...

Alright, so FC said I should feel free to make an off-topic thread about any questions I have regarding the update process, and I really appreciate that and will take him up on his offer. The primary problem I'm having is that I can't exactly wrap my mind around the structure, what information the c...

Hey FC, a modder friend of mine directed me to this incredibly helpful link. I'm not sure how much is left here that you're not aware of, but I thought I'd try and return the favor for all the info you've passed on to us: http://wiki.vg/Protocol Interesting, thanks! I'll likely verify any of this i...

Heh, yeah, but unless they also don't look at you incessantly while pathing towards you, I'm still sticking with the system you helped me with :) See, I never even knew that behavior existed. Kinda hard to notice it when all your wolves are locked up in individual cobble crypts :) You're quite fort...

Awesome! :D

Hehe...yeah, I saw that and my first thought was "Well, Raust will be happy" :)

Seriously!?

Awesome! :D

I think you may have misread my post, as your question doesn't seem to relate to it.

Oops, quoted the wrong one. I meant to quote the one before it.

...and, if you have a block where only certain settings of the meta-data concern the client, instead of using setRequiresSelfNotify() and forcing info to be transfered every time the meta-data changes, you can instead call: world.markBlockNeedsUpdate() only when the changes you want to be relayed t...

Custom packets? Ones that vanilla minecraft isn't capable of reading?

That sounds unpleasant, but I'll worry about that later, and I will get through it :)

Thanks a ton, this info will really help out! I've been feeling like a 100% noob modder again these past few days because of all the utterly alien SMP concepts I'm confronted with, and this is extremely appreciated :)

Understandable, I know how greatly we differ on the compatibility issue. At any rate, I'll stop fretting about it until I get a better grasp of how things stand, which should hopefully be soon.

So what makes the custom packet necessary? Does that mean I'd need to send custom packets for every single one of my dogs' abilities/stats? That scares me. Even if you were to implement a hook system, It certainly wouldn't be compatible with the hook system forge will inevitably implement to fix thi...

*cries* You *might* be ok because yours are mobs. I think the packet-handlers already in place for handling the other mobs might be sufficient to suit your needs. I'm sure you have a lot of custom data associated with yours though, which might be a little tricky to keep in sync. Yeah, there certain...

Ok, yeah, I was right about the entities spawning on the server but that info not being passed over to the client. I managed to do a quick test by hacking the packet-handler code to recognize water-wheels, and that got them to display properly. That aspect is going to be a LOT of work and may take ...

Oi vey. Ok, following a hunch I had overnight, I just figured out why the inventories for the mod blocks aren't opening. Turns out these are now handled through multiplayer packets sent between the local client and server you have running now while you're playing SP. So while it looks like much of ...

That's entirely understandable FC, I'm scratching my head trying to understand just what the supposed "merge" accomplished to begin with. It's depressing and frustrating, and I totally sympathize.

So yes, I'm referring to the SFS add-on for that.

Wait, FC, you've actually started working on it? What about modloader? It's my understanding that it hasn't been released yet...

I said I didn't want to respond because I'm stressed out and somewhat tired.

Well, here you go: Villagers are actually brainless creatures that aren't actually "alive". They're actually just zombies that didn't fully zombify and still go through the motions of day to day life. In reality though, they're evil soul-sucking creatures that must be destroyed. Feel bett...

What innocent creature am I "enslaving"? Certainly not anything with a single redeeming quality or any sense of compassion. These are ghasts, things driven to a murderous rage by my inexcusable crime of existing. Who says they're ghasts? Again...more justification... The thing is, there's...
