New Release! (BTW V4.AAAAAAABBB) - NO SPOILERS

Post by FlowerChild »

Version 4.AAAAAAABBB of Better Than Wolves is ready for download!

Download Link

This release contains the following changes:

-Added a visual indicator of whether some storage blocks contain items.

-Changed the way Raw Mutton looks in order to make it more visually distinct from Cooked Mutton.

-Changed the name of Coal Dust to better communicate its use.

-Changed how fire renders internally to hopefully help with issues with some texture packs.

-Changed the starter chest to be less so.

-Changed the Grate and Wicker Pane recipes to require Wood Moulding rather than just Shafts.

-Changed the way torches work internally so that they're added to your inventory in a more intuitive manner and to hopefully reduce or eliminate the flicker that would occur sometimes in SMP.

-Changed some log types to not be fully transparent to light.

-Changed some dirt slabs to be able to combine with grass slabs.

-Changed Shafts and some torch types to be crushed by falling blocks.

-Changed chest minecarts to not be quite so chesty.

-Removed the Workbench from villages.

-Removed generated torches in villages and abandoned mines.

-Removed the early game glass recipe.

-Fixed problem where using the number keys to swap items to the hotbar would sometimes cause the relevant slots to display the wrong item.

-Fixed a problem with blocks under destroyed snow not always rendering correctly.

Deepest Sympathies!

The mutton change is a huge relief. I was starting to feel really dumb, I had so much trouble comparing those over the campfire's light that I was ready to only consume chicken!

Confirming that my flames are now corrected as well. Thank you, FC.

BTW, when you first posted these radical changes, for a day or two, i thought you'd gone a step too far and that the game had moved beyond of my skill range.

Nothing could have been more incorrect on my part. I think I'm in love with this game all over again, possibly more than ever. Plus, as was said by someone else, the early game is now so interesting that i can keep myself from rage quitting.

most times.

Lol! Looking at the change log, there were quite a few exploity things I wasn't taking advantage of :)

Hehe... I didn't realize a few of them either. That's what happens when I watch tens of hours of people playing :)
