New Release! (BTW V3.72)
Version 3.72 of Better Than Wolves is ready for download!
Download Link
This release contains the following changes:
-Added the ability to farm mossy and cracked stone brick. Mossy is formed by letting water drip through regular stone brick. Cracked is formed through
doing the same with lava (Thanks to Gilberreke for this idea!).
-Added functionality to the Crucible to destroy all flammable blocks (those that can normally be consumed by fire) as well as an assortment of items that
feel like they should probably be incinerated in a vat of molten metal. Note that this can actually be rather useful in say getting rid of bows that are
dropping from mobs and otherwise jamming up your Crucibles.
-Changed Spiders to drop spider eyes regardless of whether they are killed by the player. These aren't technically a rare drop, so my previous changes to
drop rare regardless of damage source weren't effective on them.
-Changed the way Turntables process updates to hopefully correct some block-duplication bugs that were occurring with blocks attached to their rotated
column.
-Fixed problem with the growth rate of baby cows being affected by them being turned into mooshrooms due to standing on mycelium.
-Fixed problem that would allow you to speed through shallow water while wearing Plate Armor by sprinting and jumping.
Enjoy! :)

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
Thanks for the new release as always FC :) But I just have one thing I want to thank you for even more.
EDIT: Damn it Panda. This one was mine. I thought we a deal. ;)
This. I like this a lot. I always like how without downloading it, I am already processing how to automate it.FlowerChild wrote: -Added the ability to farm mossy and cracked stone brick.

*squee* Mossy Stone Brick!
I know this is basically an aesthetic thing, but it's little things like this that really just /make/ the mod for me. The technical achievements are awesome, and the things you can do are really the meat, but this is the finishing touches that make it more like a game than a mod to me :)

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
Ooh, new ways to get the brick types. I'm already thinking about how I would automate that.
...that being said, I'm having a bit of trouble. Minecraft starts just fine, but whenever I try to create or load a world, it blackscreens before it can even show the loading bar.
EDIT: I derped. No tech support required. Now, back to better than vanilla.

Well, there's that problem solved. Thanks for the new release, and I'm off to automate mossy brick!haphazardnuke in IRC wrote:...massive fail. I forgot to install Modloader. I'm so used to having it in there already that I forgot I had force-updated. -_-
Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
The method for farming the mossy and cracked brick is fantastic, I quite like it. It's simple, elegant and will be interesting to automate.

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
I don't know if this is just me (I don't think it is) but I discovered something odd about the new brick conversions. Putting it in spoilers in case it was an intentional feature to be discovered.
Spoiler
Show
BUDdy blocks don't pick up the change from regular stone bricks to mossy/cracked. I was in Creative mode but the BUDdy's do work, which is the first thing I tested, so other than some weird black magic... I dunno. Going to test in Survival right now so I can give an accurate bug report if this is, in fact, a bug.

Doh. That was a total fuck up on my part, as that's supposed to be the primary method of automating it.Andellmere wrote:I don't know if this is just me (I don't think it is) but I discovered something odd about the new brick conversions.

No need. It's a 2 second fix which I'll do right now, but will require me to put out another release to resolve it for people.Andellmere wrote: Confirmed in Survival (On my minecraft anyway).

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
Good to know this didn't cause too much work for you when I noticed this. I know I didn't say it in the first post, but Thank you very much for both this release and your quick response to my comment.

Well, it is a lot of work in terms of putting out a new release, but that's in no way your fault. Thanks for pointing it out :)Andellmere wrote:Good to know this didn't cause too much work for you when I noticed this.

Not a problem and always happy to help. If it weren't for a near obsessive need to learn the automation of new things so I don't feel so left behind by the rest of the community you built up here...FlowerChild wrote: Well, it is a lot of work in terms of putting out a new release, but that's in no way your fault.

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
Ok guys, I'm in no shape to put together and test a new release to cover the above problem tonight, but I did put together this small patch so that you guys can get Buddy working with stone bricks.
I doubt the MCF crowd will even notice this problem anyways ;)
Download Link
Copy the single file in that .zip into your minecraft.jar and everything should work fine.
NOTE: THIS PATCH IS NO LONGER NEEDED WITH THE LATEST DOWNLOAD LINK IN THE OP!
I've modified the download to contained the patch pre-installed.

Still trying to convert some cash into something paypal can accept without a bank account. If anyone has tips that don't involve a hefty surcharge, please let me know.

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.72)
Yeah ! New farming :)
I love how even your small additions, mainly here because they're quick to do, and to give some content to a Bugfixe upadate, gives us much more playtime than a Mojang update ;)
Thanks man :)
