I've been toying with this mod for an hour or so now, and I love it.
My only complaint so far is how easy thievery is: breaking chest will make items drop and free to loot. Either some kind of block on that or a way for the villagers to detect thieves would be awesome.
I look forward to updates that add new layers of complexity! I think I'll go toy with custom structures now.
Can you be more specific? Does it not let you? Does it tell you that you need permission to move the bin folder? If it does, then go into Task Manager, go into the Processes tab, look for something like "java.exe" or "jwa.exe" or something, but I suggest you look at the description to find it. End that, and try again. This is because Minecraft didn't properly close, and it was still hidden there.
Wow, I thought I included details. My bad.
The screen goes black after logging in. If I leave the MANIFEST file but delete the other two files in META-INF, it freezes at "Done Loading". I can then close minecraft with the X in the top right with no problem.
More or less, same black screen problem everyone seems to be having.
Having some issues getting even ModLoader to work. I've Redownloaded the bin folder a dozen times over, the initial executable once. I even tried extracting it to a folder and compressing it into a rar folder, then renaming. (Using WinRar).

I too would like to see these ultra-high res texture packs. I have not seen anything over 256 for download. :s

Less complaining, go make a decent HD texture pack yourself if you think the majority is bad (even though they have a large userbase)
This is a terrible argument and I hope you feel bad about it.
Do you need to be a professional movie critic to know when a movie is good or bad? No.
Do you need to be a professional Chief to know when food is good or bad? No.
Do you need to be a professional artist to know when a Texture pack is bad? No.

My computer has no issue with Firefox and its memory appetite. Chrome and Firefox both have lots of addons, so any addon on one can usually be found in the other. I have no found a Chrome-version of Ubiquity, which is by far my most used addon. When I do find such an addon, I might switch. Until then, however, Firefox all the way.
Opera does nothing special for me. IE is Windows exclusive and I run Linux most of the time. Not sure how IE fairs with addons.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't some parts of Minecraft written in C? I forgot the term for it, but I believe Java can execute code written in another language. Most high level languages can. C is a low level language, at least compared to Java, C++, Python, and so forth, so being able to split certain parts off into C is really a powerful tool.
That said, Minecraft mods are literally rewriting the code. It would be much, much easier to write a mod in Java. The syntax between the Cs and Java is very similar. The only thing you lose, as far as I know, is pointers, destructors, and other things that, while being powerful tools, do not contribute much to the applications performance aside from speed of execution. Unless you are dealing with a very large mod, the speed boost would not be noticed.
tl;dr: Just make mods in Java it's much easier and simpler.
I have Windows7 and Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer, and both have their advantages and drawbacks.
To start, Windows works with everything. You will be very hard pressed to find an application that does not work on Windows. That is the single biggest reason for its wide spread use. This wide spread use, about 400 million world wide, means lots of viruses. There is plenty of software to combat them, but they are still a threat now and again. If you use Windows long enough, you will probably get a virus in one shape or another.
The search feature on Windows7 and Vista is amazing. Just press the Windows Key and type the name of a folder, file, or program. I love it.
Installing new programs for Windows is idiot proof. You either unzip a file into "Program Files" or you run a *.exe or *.msi file.
Most people know what Windows 7 looks like, and how to use it. There are programs that can change things, like Mac-Dock emulators and Rain Meter.
Windows7's Paint program is also amazing. It is very simple, so dedicated artist will prefer Photoshop or GIMP, but if your needs are basic there is no better.
Windows7 needs about 20 GB of HDD space to install and run properly.
I can only speak for Ubuntu 10.04, but the core themes in Linux distros does not change much. Depending on your exact needs and abilities, you might prefer a different distro. Ubuntu uses a desktop environment called Gnome, which is very different than Windows. If you are use to Windows, which most people are, it will take a little adjustment to get use to it. Other distros use KDE(?), which in effect looks like Windows 7. Linux too has Dock emulators. My two favorite parts of Gnome are the Cube and the jelly-windows. The cube gives you 6 desktops to work with. They all show the same files - from the Desktop Folder - but they show different windows. It makes organizing a lot of windows very easy. The jelly-windows, not sure what they are actually called, make windows bounce back and forth when moved. This does not add to productivity, but it is fun. After using it for so long, Windows7 feels very stiff and cold.
Linux has issues running things. While C/C++ code can be compiled for Linux, it has to be done differently than Windows and it cannot include any of M$'s libraries: DirectX, .NET, etc. An executable from Windows will not work on Linux. Ever. It is part of the design of the operating system, and would be more trouble than it's work to fix. Most of the big retail games do not run on Linux. You cannot run Starcraft. Black Ops, or TF2 on Linux. Some games have Linux ports, but they are scarce. There is something called Wine which tries to emulate the Windows environment, but I have never used it.
Installing things in Linux is not idiot proof. If its in the "repositories", you can just type sudo apt-get install **** in Terminal - which is an amazing piece of technology, albeit confusing to people new to computers. Windows let command prompt die. :/ If the program is not in the repositories, installation can be confusing. Sometimes they have an installer file, sometimes they come in a compressed file. I find it very confusing, but I have much to learn.
Linux comes with everything. It comes with Firefox. It comes with GIMP. It comes with the equivalent of Microsoft Office. And all of this requires about 4-6 GB to run smoothly.
Linus's paint sucks. It is terrible. It makes me cry. GIMP is too complex for most of my needs. It is akin to rabbit hunting with a 50 caliber sniper.
As I have used Windows7 on my computer for about a year, it has slowed down. It takes a lot longer to run the same operations than it does on Linux. Linux might slow down, I do not know.
The last time I touched a mac was in 2003. I know Macs are different than Windows, so if you are use to one you will have to adapt. Mac computers are expensive as ****. Easily twice their Windows equivalent. Linux is a free Operating System which you should be able to install on any computer with enough space.
Personally, I like Linux. It is free and easy to get around. There are only a few things I miss from Windows 7: The search function, M$Paint, and compatibility. Wine might solve the latter, and I am sure there is some freeware somewhere to solve the other two problems.
But if you ever want to play SC, TF2, or Black Ops on Stream / Battle.net, Windows is your OS.
If you ever want to get into an artistic field - Graphic Design, Photography, etc - then Mac is your OS.
This is just kind of vomit on paper, so excuse the terrible structure.

Now actually getting the game to launch with ModLoader/not blackscreen? That's a different story.

Both can be correct if the problem lies with his computer. eg, Java needs updating. Simply spamming "YOU ARE LYING" does not get anyone anywhere.

I really want to play around with your meteor mod too because it looks like oodles of fun; simply cannot wait for you to update it.

The only good thing which comes from them is the joy of watching Minecraft use 7 GB of RAM, but I might be a minority here.
