i had a problem
when i reach lvl 8 and i commit 4 evils, but i never received any masterstaff. and i rewatch the video, whenever they commit a evil, theres a sound something like the gods are pleased with your sacrafice, i didnt heard that when im doing it. like i said i did reach lvl 8, and i can hear every sound effects except the one i just mention, and when i commit a evil, my lvl never drop, i did on both client and server, both did not work. What can i do now? PS. i created a new world enable the cheat code, and i got a staff from creative mode, it will disappear when i click the staff, and when i right click the ground the minion won't spawn....
Just started using your mod today, and am really enjoying it so far. I am having an odd issue however with my minions not digging out mineshafts properly. Out of five shafts I've had them dig so far, two were fine, but the other three had blocks left undug in a seemingly random pattern, thusly:
Has anyone else encountered similar problems, and perhaps found a work-around?
(edit:)
One more quick question: how do I get them to stop bringing me every last stack of useless cobblestone and dirt they dig up?
I've always enjoyed this mod, even back during the Yogbox days. Strangely enough though, it seemed more stable back during 1.2.5 then it does now. Presently, it seems to listen to commands less, and for some reason I had no sound when I ran it for 1.4.5. I don't know what that means, either. I'm sure it's still supposed to have sounds.
I also agree there should be another way to get another master staff if the other one is destroyed and you die. Basically, you can never get one again, cuz it assumes you have one and doesn't give you that option. if I want another one, I have to cheat, jump into god mode, and grab another one that way.
But I still love the mod and I still plan on using it again for the 1.5 upgrade, despite everything.
Minions often dont respond to commands of strip mining and digging given shape. The consume hitpoints, they acknowledge by voice, particles spread around but they just keep standing. But they always make mine shaft and chop trees on the other hand.
This seems to so major bug that I cant use this mode anymore, Im sorry for this since its the best mine-automation mod ever
ps. dismissing minions and calling them back rather won't help
1.5 version
Im having this same problem in 1.5.1. Its pretty frustrating having them just standing around, even after they acknowledge an order with their voice. Are you planning on fixing these errors? I loved this mod when i used it sometime last year.
I am using this mod with very little problem. Once in a blue moon when they dig a mineshaft they miss some blocks, but usually if I save & restart my client, it fixes the problem.
Thanx muchly.
Oh, btw, I think it would be great to have some 64 bit textures for the minions... maybe make them look like the ones from Despicable Me... just a thought.
I love this mod, however I am having a problem with it. I tested the mod out in creative, just to learn how to use it on my own. I gave myself exp, did evil, got the wand, and summoned my minions. However, I then created a survival game, and got to level 8. When I went perform evil deeds, the advanced options for the minions showed up, essentially saying I had already gotten the wand and my minions. I now have no way to obtain the wand, as I can not perform evil deeds. Is there any way around this?
Hmm... Tried the unsummon button, and it did nothing. However, I decided to make yet another world, and this one did not have that problem. Now that the mod is running smooth I'm loving it. Thanks for the yet another great mod!
After using this for about a week, I have noticed a few bugs.
When you send your minions to strip mine, they get to the "end" of their run, and just stand there. Summoning them back will get them to you, but they wont drop off into the chest I designate and then they get "bugged" and wont do anything else (but you still get charged the hunger "payment" anyway).
Many times when you tell them to put stuff in a chest, they put it into the "2nd half" of a large chest.
When they strip mine in the nether, they will glitch out on nether brick, making a mess of a nether fortress.
Many times when you summon them back to you, they are glitched underground, and only part of their head is showing.
I look forward to the next version of this mod, very fun even with the bugs.
I don't know if you can do this or if someone else can do it, but I thought it would be funny to remodel the minions as the ones from Despicable Me, complete with sound clips. On a more practical note, perhaps upgrading the Master's Staff, either by crafting or enchanting, could increase the mining speed of the minions. Also, it would be nice to have minons be able to make tunnels other than 1x2 (like 2x2, 2x3, or 3x3). Also, for mineshafts, perhaps having a second staircase going concurrent to the original (making a helix) along with a slight centering to allow for passageways would be helpful.

Remove vazkiiz update manager which you also have installed.

You need the dig custom option and a block to start from.

Also a suggestion: make them fight mobs

I never installed the update manager, It must of came with one of the mods I downloaded.
How do I uninstall it, Where are the files installed to?
