Re: You sir are a genius!

I was just recently observing a discussion of some people talking about minecraft mods in general and describing what's lacking with them and what they'd like instead. I just kept reading like "guys, this was already done a while ago". I described it to someone as sitting around while ever...

Re: [Spoilers] BTW Tech Tree Visualization

The only mistake I noticed is that the priest requirements are switched with the librarian/scientist ones. That also changes the progression somewhat. You're right, that makes killing the wither a requirement before going to the end right? Pretty substantial oversight on my part. Will shift around....

Re: [SPOILERZ] Hardcore Villagers trading mechanics.

I'm really interested in why these villagers, once maxed out, want all these high-end BTW items. They don't give you very many emeralds for them (2 emerald for a buddy block for example) so it's not really worthwhile to farm them for resources. Is there something more complex here, like some change ...

Re: [Spoilers] BTW Tech Tree Visualization

I think the best lesson to take from this is that the top of the BTW tech tree is the Compansion slab, and the stone button.

Edit - Good call. Added a legend in the top-right corner.

Re: Mob traps: Mob filtering

I see no reason to separate out the mobs. Evering into a 3x2 wide area with water pushing against saw panel saw on the lower level, and panel saw panel above. Kills everything but endermen just fine.

You can also easily incorporate chopping blocks into that design to get the heads you want.

Re: Better Than Starting Manned (Flower's WIP KSP mod )

Nah, you can learn the mechanics just fine in BTSM. In fact, I'd say it's even easier to learn them because your forced to actaully understand what the hell is going on before you're thrown into huge numbers of mechanics. For example, in vKSP you could come in blind and probably get something into s...

Re: It's Finally Happened: I'm modding Civ 5

Yeah, that's pretty much what I want. So you think CanBuild is a query, not a command? I haven't modded ELI5 and there isn't really much documentation. But it takes a plot, and returns a boolean. To me that function reads as: Considering this unit, can it build on this plot this specific type of bu...

Re: It's Finally Happened: I'm modding Civ 5

Is it just that you want two separate functions be called if a condition is met? If so, from what I understand you can go with: if condition then functioncall() functioncall() end but it looks like CanBuild is not something that's set, it's something that's returned when you supply a type of build a...
