News

 

Version 1.6.0

    Updated for Minecraft 1.6.2

Version 1.5.0

    Updated for Minecraft 1.5.1-1.5.2

 

Greg's Prospecting

 

This mod provides a few items to help you find rare resources.

 

Slimophone

 

Slimes are ridiculously hard to find, which wouldn't be a problem except that you need slimeballs to create some of the more interesting items -- including the Mining Radar featured below. The Slimophone assists by picking up their sounds and helping you home in on them.

 

Mining Radar

 

Something I don't like about Minecraft is that apart from depth, placement of ores is completely random. This makes mining rather boring after a while, since there's no reason to dig in one direction rather than another.

 

So I created a little gadget to help, the Mining Radar. It gives you a kind of X-ray view of what's in the ground a short distance ahead. It's a rather indistinct view, and the range is limited, so it won't lead you directly to a pile of diamonds. But it's a lot better than just digging around at random until you happen to find something.

Maybe make it Universal Electricity compatible? These are some cool gadgets.

Yes, I'll have to look into UE at some point. It would be nice to be able to use batteries from other mods and maybe have a rechargeable version.

 

How well developed/supported is UE at the moment? If I hooked into UE, would that automatically give me the ability to use Redpower batteries, for example?

Hm. Just been looking at UE, and it's rather less interesting than it looked. Far from unifying the existing power systems, it seems to be Yet Another Power System all of its own. That's not what I want.

 

Anyone know if Eloraam is planning to ever publish any APIs for interfacing with her power and cabling systems? It's very frustrating that Redpower is so closed.

That's good to know. Although if "it's done" means when the rest of Redpower is finished, we might have to wait a long time. :-(

Nah, the first part of the api is expected out in the next version or two.

I'm thinking about an advanced version of the Mining Radar with a colour display to help you distinguish between different ores.

How about a "thumper" machine that uses sound to find caves?

Major: Some of the items don't exist in the server though they exist in the client. They can't be created or spawned on server. "No such item exists" error. Applies to the following;

[*]parabolicMicrophone

[*]piezoTransducer

[*]quartzWafer

[*]triode

[*]ledBarGraph

 

Mainly applies to items needed for slimophone. Mining radar item and recipes seem to work fine, as well as the radar itself...

 

Less Major: There seems to be a bug when typing names for Singleplayer worlds. Pressing any of the letters for the radar controls, or brackets into singleplayer world names causes the game to blackscreen. The only work around is to type the name of the world you want and paste it in. The only other time this happens is for non-OPs in the server. They can't press any of the HotKeys without getting an error and kicked from the server. Not much a problem for me being that I only play with friends, and have no qualms about turning everyone into an OP and back up the server before inviting anyone else on. :P

 

I've tested all the hotkeys once in-game and under many different circumstances, both SSP and SMP, and beyond actually typing them within the main login menus, pressing those keys doesn't hurt anything. Just letting you know.

 

Those seem to be the biggest bugs. I'll report any more I may find. :P

I've posted an update (1.2) that should fix the issue with pressing mining radar control keys outside of a game.

 

I'm not sure about the others, but I've gone through the whole process of crafting a slimophone in both SP and MP without any problem.

I'll give it a shot. :) I'll report my finds. I'll test both SSP and SMP as well. Thanks for the update. :D

I can't be certain that it's your mod causing it, but the issue hadn't occurred before this moment in time. It seems there's a memory leak on the client side. The memory usage doesn't fluctuate, it just continues to rise and rise. I'll run a few more tests to confirm/disprove once I get off the server with my girlfriend.

Has the metadata always skyrocketed on the slimeophone? It goes into the hundreds of thousands for me. :o I have no idea if that would be the cause, but it does indeed seem that this mod is what is causing the increased memory usage and inevitable game-breaking lag, as it doesn't happen when I uninstall it. (I've only tested it on a server, but the increase only happens to my client)

 

Zero?

 

I'm not ignoring you. I just feel that it's rude to use people's mod threads as a place for conversation. So I avoid doing so. :-X

t does indeed seem that this mod is what is causing the increased memory usage and inevitable game-breaking lag, as it doesn't happen when I uninstall it.

I'm running a slimophone and mining radar now, and my client's memory usage seems to be stable at around 100-120MB.

 

Have you tried just Greg's Prospecting on its own? Maybe it's interacting badly with one of your other mods.

Yeah, at a glance, nothing seems off. But after a while, my game gets to a point where it's unplayable. :S

There is now a version of the Mining Radar with a colour display that distinguishes the different ore types more clearly.

 

Still only for MC 1.2.5 at the moment -- hope to update for 1.3 soon.

      ItemStack Capability data that you need on the client needs to be put in the share tag. Override Item#getShareTag and Item#readShareTag.

      cant use mods in survival 1.12.2

      By Barca · Posted 24 minutes ago

      Hi I download and setup mc forge server 1.12.2 and download some mods (tinkers construct, mekanism), but in survival i cannot use this mods - I follow everythig in this tut (and some others) only did not set port forwarding (because my first instaled  1.14 server work with this, I use server only on LAN) I have forge server for 1.14 (folow same videos) and mods like xeros mini/map, corpse, just enough items, and It works perfectly. But in when I join to 1.12 server I can see mod items in creative mode, but when have some in inventory and click on crafting table they dissapear, game did not give me book at start and I cannot craft things from mod. I tried play singleplayer with these mods and works fine. This means I have some problem in server - I see server with "V" (hover - vanilla server) in mc multiplayer list. Can it be this problem? I did not find how "unset" vanilla from minecraft server. Sorry for my english I hope it is possible to understand.
