New Release! (BTW V4.38)

Post by FlowerChild »

Version 4.38 of Better Than Wolves is ready for download!

Download Link

This release contains the following changes:

IMPORTANT: This version requires a CLEAN install of BTW to function properly. This means that you need to redownload Minecraft (delete your bin directory and run the game without the mod installed), then install 4.38 to it. Just copying over the old install will likely result in bugs and potential crashes. My apologies for this as I normally try to make such changes when vanilla updates to prevent these kinds of problems, but this one slipped through the cracks.

-Added Hardcore Melons.

-Added nether brick Siding, Moulding, Corners, Pedestals, Columns, and Tables.

-Added internal functionality to determine when a block has a center "hard point" to a particular facing to determine if things like torches, Lightning Rods, and Stakes can "stick" to them. This allows for a number of blocks to attach to others that previously weren't possible, and may be useful for add-on authors in establishing similar functionality with their blocks. This also marks the triumphant return of torches sticking to the sides of Panels ;)

-Added the ability to melt down Lightning Rods in the Crucible.

-Changed the order in which the Cauldron processes ingredients so that gunpowder is created before string is converted into wool. This allows for the dumping in of the raw materials required to make Fuses, without your string being turned into wool.

-Changed some code internally to eliminate base classes that were getting modified in the releases of the mod that I wasn't actually modifying. This is what necessitates the reinstall mentioned above.

-Changed Wind Mills & Water Wheels so that they can not be placed when overlapping with another entity, including the player.

-Changed the way vertical Wind Mills are placed to accommodate the above change, and to make their placement more intuitive. They are now placed so that their vertical position *starts* (either top or bottom) at the Axle you click on. In other words, if you're looking upwards, it will place the Wind Mill going up from the Axle you click on, if you're looking down, then going downwards from it.

-Fixed "pick block" functionality (middle mouse button) to work on a bunch of mod blocks.

-Fixed some Corners not placing properly in SMP.

-Fixed Dynamite not firing out of vanilla dispensers in SMP.

-Fixed Splash Potions not firing out of vanilla dispensers in SMP.

-Fixed Buckets not dispensing properly out of vanilla dispensers in SMP, with Hardcore Buckets disabled.

-Fixed problem with being able to place Urns, Grates, Wicker, and Slats while the player or another entity was in the space the block was to occupy.

Enjoy! :)

Holy crap on a cracker... How are we supposed to keep up with you? I haven't even made a lightning rod yet...

Thanks for the update FC. :P
At one point I thought that the world was perfect.
Then I found BTW.
Now I'm in therapy.

Hoho! Hardcore Melons! Just when I finally found some seeds (12 bloody chests in a massive abandoned mineshaft before I found 'em) and setup a massive melon farm too. Very interested see what this entails.

Danke for more decorative blocks! I like your blocks alot better then the micro blocks in other mods. Just the right number of microblocks in my opinion and clever ways of making them.

Edit: Oh, also, if you install using MCPatcher there's no need to redownload. MCPatcher makes a backup of the existing Jar when first ran so if you use it before mucking with your jar you'll always have a fresh one at your disposal.

you have no idea how grateful i am for that, the way it worked before made compacting some redstone designs dependent on cardinal direction (which ive been having a hard time figuring out underground)

I think that this closes the issue. Thread can be locked.

Hardcore melons? I just found seeds! My initial reaction from reading this is that my greatest and most ridiculous hope would that they explode on impact. I can't wait to find out!

Thanks much for the update, Sir!

Cheers for the update FC! I can't wait to figure out what HC Melons entails...

Now, onwards to the Testing Facility!

People over on Reddit were shitting their pants at the nether slab announcement like it was the second coming, and one of your minor updates does more than that before it even gets its pants on (or off, more likely). Zombie Pigman farm is going to look at lot more deadly tomorrow than it did yesterday. Awesome work!

Wow, my applause. You really are a dedicated and wonderful man, time and time again proving yourself to be a truly respectable mod author. Despite your frustration, despite all the frustrating drivel thrown your way you continue just as strong. I'm glad you've got something you love doing, and I'm enjoying loving it with you (and likely hating it with you at the same level as you do).

Great release and many congratulations on your progress. I wish you the best in all of your further developments, and I'm glad to be a part of it, however small a part that might be.

The end user of a product never truly understands the blood sweat and tears that go into making it unless they've done it themselves. You can empathize with a situation, but its unlikely you feel something on the same level as Fc.

As to the release, I think I've got an inkling into what hc melons do. Only time will tell! Everything else looks great and the new nether brick variants will make my Infernal library much better! Thanks!

I thought I was the only one that used that shortcut, hehe. I use it so much, almost as much as the shift clicking. I also cringe when I see youtubers scroll all the way down to a block that is right in front of their crosshair. :P

Good stuff in this release, hehe :]
