Not necessarily. I just would like to have the community in general give advice. Rest assured, if people help, then i wont let them down. Not a specifically modding partner, just some help. I might need somebody to help do textures though. I'm a bit of a whackjob with those.
Well, I'm no pro but I'd be happy to try to help. Your idea sounds interesting. Can you explain more about Chroma and what it will do?
Chroma will be a form of matter, usually a liquid. I spoke of that already. However, I do intend to add in an ultra rare chroma cavern with the chromas running down like a waterfall and into pools at the base. There will also be large 3x7 Chroma Crystals, which will have a unique roll as a latter teir component.
More unique quallities about it is its mix ability. It mixes to form different colors with different qualities. Red, Blue, Yellow, White, and Black Chroma each have their own unique characteristic. White and black are especially different though. They all will act in a way with a color and a quality. The fun thing is, you have to find a way to match the color to the machine AND the quality. For example, yellow, energy, red, power, and blue serenity. White and Black act as a modifier, black corrupting the quality, and white bringing it to fullness. So if i mix red and blue(power and serenity), i get purple defense. If i mix that with black, I would get weakness, whereas if i mixed it with white, I would of had Impenatrability. Might use that for a potion brewing mechanic too.
And charsmud, thank you. However, I realized something: This is a Forge mod. can you find a video using MCForge instead of mod loader.
i would recomend working with the basics. from the intro you gave i would think that this mod is a bit to ambitious for you. if you still want to go ahead you can count on me for help via pm however i cant guarantee i will give your questions a reply.

I agree. Its a little ambitious. But there's a reason behind it. I have searched everywhere for a decent java tutorial, and have found none. My goal with coding a mod is to work it backwards: get advice on how to mod and code it in, then decipher the work that I did in order to better understand java code. Nothing simple will teach me that. And I REFUSE to do another ore/tools mod like metallurgy. Theres way too many of those out there right now, and they are overall useless and unappealing.
*Sigh*... I'm really getting downed about the lack of help. Maybe I should just find a modding partner to help me out. Get this mod rolling. If you are interested, just PM me. I am having a hard time figuring this out. Please help. Any bit of help is accepted.
Yeah. The hard part is, I don't know where to learn java. It is an overall new concept to me, and I want to code this mod so bad. If I can get my ideas in, then you will see a new tech mod in the runnings with what is by far the most unique manner of power transfer. I might actually start posting more of my ideas and hopefully get more interest and more support, then maybe get some help. And yeah, I have nothing against the Celebrity modders, but they can be like that (no offense to those celebs reading this: thank you for reading in that case) . The only real exception to that would be Pahimar, but he's so busy with EE3, that I dont even need to bother. But anyways, lets just say, multiblock structures are very cool, and wires/power conduits are for the traditional, more monotonous mods. I might post it. Maybe... My real concern is going to be people trying to steal my ideas, which is why I am so limited about the info I release. If there is like a copyright or something I can get to prevent that, let me know. I will post my ideas in a heartbeat.
Yeah, thats the hard part. I have no access to such a class. I might just post the ideas and hope for the best, might just give up and ponder. Might send a few PMs... I dont know. I'll find a way.
I fully support your effort, I too am trying to make a tech mod. How much programming experience do you have? Maybe I can help you figure out where to start.

Look at lava and water, whatever. Figure it out.
